Have you ever had a detangling orgasm?  Well, if you haven’t let me tell you about my experience. I’ve been wearing Havana twists for a while, having them redone about every 2 months.  The beauty of a protective style means I don’t need to buy any new products so getting my...

I get a lot of compliments on my “wash & go” which is not in fact a wash & go at all.  After a lot of compliments for the Thanksgiving holiday, I realized I had not shared this trick. It’s a twist out using not...

I finally picked up Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream and I have to admit, I returned my Miss Jessie’s Baby Buttercreme the day after I used the Cantu.   I washed my hair, added my leave in and twisted my hair with Coconut Curling Cream.  The next day I had moisturized, shiny...

Lately I have been skipping a step with my hair routine, ph balanced leave-in conditioner.  It’s a simple step and it shows in my hair when I skip it.  My hair had been looking and feeling extremely dry despite using moisturizers.  A simple fix was to use my leave in spritz of Aloe...

I recently learned about fenugreek (seeds or powder aka methi) to help with moisture and slip.  I also understand it’s great for dandruff and promotes hair growth. I found fenugreek powder at my local Indian store and bought 80 grams for $1.  I came home and whipped up a mixture of 2...

I am LOVING my new Komaza Protein Hair Strengthener!  This is my fist time trying a protein treatment beyond Aphogee 2 minute and I had no idea what to really expect.  I have the lotion version.  I read that the old version was more of a liquid (spray).  I was working on the computer...

I’ve been using As I Am Coconut Cowash for a couple of weeks and am happy to report that it does what it says it will do and it’s relatively inexpensive.  I paid $7.99 for 16 ounces and it cleaned my hair – without striping.  Like other cleansing conditioners, it does not...

I’ve been trying different cleansing conditioners to try to find something comparable to WEN 613 due to the expensive price tag.  I bought Salon Grafix Cleansing Conditioner in Moroccan Macadamia scent for $7.99 at Walgreen’s for 12 ounces.  The Citrus Creme scent was $9.99...

I picked up a few cleansing conditioners to try to find something comparable to WEN 613 due to the expensive price tag. I bought Ren Cleansing Conditioner in Rosemary Mint by Renpure Solutions.  Ren has similar cleansing properties as WEN 613.  Ren foams as does WEN; however, Ren did not...

I finally bought Shea Moisture Organic African Black Soap Purification Hair Masque and filmed me using it: http://youtu.be/StUxXTfsAgs Wow!  I am not even sure what took me so long to finally try this product.  I would guess just not having any room in my stash until I gave away a large...

I finally tried WEN Six Thirteen (WEN 613) and I have to agree with the 5 star reviews – it’s pretty amazing.  I had been using WEN Fig but gave away the remainder of the 32 oz bottle to my cousin who recently went natural.  I’ve tried WEN 613 a few times now.  I bought...

Califia moisturizing spray is the bomb! I’ve been natural for a few years but I was still looking for a leave-in conditioner and a liquid moisturizer.  I typically use plain water to moisturize and a regular conditioner as my leave-in but recently decided to try Komaza Hair Care...

I picked up a new product at the local Indian store, Dabur Vatika Naturals Hot Oil Treatment, a deep conditioner, which I used prior to a rollerset.  I filmed it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4PoeVuO9pk I used the treatment on freshly washed hair that was not detangled. The product...

I finally tried the Drybar in NYC and boy, that was a waste of my time.  I had to walk out with my hair half wet.  I specifically put in the special request section for my appointment that someone call me by 9:30 am if there was no stylist that could blow out my hair, African American woman...

I tried another flat twist but this time I used a different pattern, straight back flat twists.  I recorded it here: http://youtu.be/tGJfiZPfFws  I actually like this style much better and it was easier to put the flat twists in going straight back. I think it turned out well and this time...

I finally tried a flat twist out for the first time ever!  I recorded it here:  http://youtu.be/iHviua7cMaU Although it turned out well, it took me 40 minutes to put in 6 twists.  I did the flat twist out on hair that had been in a bun.  The curl pattern turned out very different from my...
