Anyone remember my very first youtube video? (It’s right here) It’s a dinosaur at this point, but it’s also my most popular upload. I think that’s because for most mastering the skill of roller setting is alluring and yet so illusive. Roller sets are a great way to straighten your hair using indirect heat, but getting results that are consistently…
When last we spoke about my hair, I was left questioning what I want to do with my hair. My original goal was to have waist length hair. But on that quest to waist length, I encountered breakage and thinning ends. Now, I’m questioning whether waist length is in the cards for me. Of course, I’d love to have crazy…
After six weeks, I was ready to remove my box braids for a full wash day. I loved having these box braids and plan on installing them again in May. The hair kept up so well. There was no fraying or frizzing, which I do attribute to the hair that I chose to use (X-pression 100% Kanekalon synthetic hair). By six…
I bought these french bouffant rollers a while ago, like before my relaxer six months ago. And can you believe I completely forgot I had them? Can you say product junkie? They were the whole reason that I came up with the idea to do a product haul back in July and I forgot to even include them in there, lol. But I…
I have been all about this flat twisted protective style lately, which has been such an easy way to get through wash day in less than an hour. I’ve been DCing or cowashing twice a week and retwisting my damp hair (Products I’ve been using: As I Am Coconut Cowash, Chi Infra Treatment, Biolage Detangling Solution or KeraMinerals Smoothing Conditioner).…
With so many wash day posts from me lately it has been a minute since I’ve done an actual product review. And when I was contacted about reviewing NuNAAT Beauty’s new hair products featuring Brazilian Patauá Oil (pronounced pa-ta-wah) line, I happily accepted. I tested out their new line this past weekend so these are my first impressions of NuNAAT Brazilian Patauá Oil products.
This weekend was a blast from the past. I went to my college reunion, which was so much fun. I forgot how amazing my classmates were and years later they are even more so. It was such a great time reconnecting with everyone. And in preparation for the weekend of fun, I decided to go with a roller set because it…
I have been over this stretch for the past few weeks. The tangles, the longer wash days — the wash days in general, ugh, I’m so close to throwing in the towel. But with three weeks left, I just need to calm my nerves. To help me get through this week I decided to do a roller set. I’m hoping that having…
Some things I have down to a science and others I just mimic what I see. Using multiple leave-ins is more about the latter (with a little bit of trial and error). The first situation where I started experimenting with using multiple leave-in was with flat ironing. Flat Ironing. If I was going to be a DIYer, I had to…
When I made my healthy hair journey video, I thought I was in over my head. But when I decided to record and edit an actual video to complement my How to: Rollerset blog post, I was really a fish out of water. Not so much on the recording of the video but the uploading/editing process is incredibly time consuming and…
