So, I finally bought Organicals Deep Conditioning Creme from Ingredients to Die for.  I went all in and bought the 7 lb container, 112 ounces.  I weighed it and the full container was exactly 7 lbs. so it’s not really 7 lbs of product since the jar and lid weigh something but that is...

I decided to give Mowrah butter a try as part of my fall and winter hair care.  I want to keep my hair moisturized and seal with a butter.  Mowrah butter reminds me of a cross between cocoa butter and shea butter.  It is not as hard as cocoa butter but it is also not pliable like shea...

I have been looking for a butter to use on my natural hair for the fall and winter to seal in moisture.  My most recent butter is avocado butter.  I was expecting it to be more greenish like the fruit but my butter, ordered online, is more yellow.  It’s not really a butter...

I finally tried out the Jessicurl products that I got about one year ago in a swag bag from a natural hair show.  I washed and deep conditioned my hair 4 days ago so I did not use the Jessicurl deep conditioner.  I tried the Jessicurl Cleansing Cream and the Jessicurl Too Shea moisturizing...

I have been wearing my La Efrah half wig but it’s a little too “Diva” for work so I picked up La Aleka, also by Vanessa.  The curl pattern is slightly looser than La Efrah but it can still be blended using two strand twists on your own hair.  La Aleka is also shorter than...

I bought a new wig, Vanessa “La Efrah”, to blend with my natural hair.  It was $22.99 at a local beauty supply store.  I was debating getting a new set of Senegalese twists for the fall ($200 with the braider I like) but decided to use a wig instead.  There are not a lot of...

I decided to try a different kind of bun for my natural hair – a nautilus bun. It was really late and I was preparing my hair in two strand twists to blend with a half wig the next day.  I pulled out some leftover Marley Braid hair and played around with it.  The nautilus bun was super...

I finally tried Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme on my natural hair.  I really was not expecting much and am still shocked that it worked so well to seal in moisture for my hair.  I wish I had touch-o-vision so you could feel my hair.  I usually avoid pricey products (got this as a free...

I decided to try Blow Pro salon since I am still looking for a salon that can do a blow out on my natural 4a hair.  The blow out process when I do it on my own takes hours since I do a lot of deep conditioning and pre-treatments to infuse moisture into my hair.  If my hair is not properly...

I am not a kitchen beautician or a mixologist by any means.  I have been interested in trying henna on my natural hair but I did not want to go through mixing the henna or even applying it because all the photos and videos I’ve seen make it look very messy.  Instead, I decided to try a...

Although natural hair is making a comeback in many cities, there are still some people who feel like natural hair is unprofessional.  I work in a corporate environment and even I thought natural hair at one time would not be okay for me to wear to the office.  It took me several years to...

I love the way this twist out turned out on my natural hair.  It has taken me over two years to figure out the best products for my natural hair.  Hopefully you can use these tips and save yourself some time and money. For this twist out my goal was 5 day hair with no retwisting.  I...

I tried the baking soda treatment again to see if I’d get the same results but this time I did a twist out.  I was so excited about the results, as you can probably tell by the number of photos I took of myself as I walked down the street.  This was my best twist out EVER on my curly...

I have been trying to find a natural way to reduce shrinkage of my natural and came across a baking soda treatment.  I really was not expecting much from it so I did not take photos of the process – just the results which turned out shockingly well as you can see in the photos below....

I decided to try Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie & Shea Moisture Curling Souffle on freshly washed hair to see if I would get the same results as I did with using the products on a two day old twist out. For me these products work best on damp or dry hair since, although my hair...

I purchased a Splitender Maxi Kit to trim my own natural hair since it has been difficult for me to find a salon that I trust for a trim.  It took a lot of effort to get the product as the website is almost always out of stock.  When I did place my order, the tool arrived without being fully...
