I tried a twist out using Curl Prep Sweet Buttah and although it came out pretty defined and moisturized, it was too frizzy from my take down.  I wore a wig for a few days after setting my hair in twists and took down the twists after 3 days.  I should have separated the twists more...

I decided to give henna and indigo another try but was hoping for less of a mess.  My new application process (videotaped here): http://youtu.be/8nK3pPLZyp4 is far less mess than my first attempt.  I found that using a color brush helped tremendously with the mess and also with getting...

I did it, I dyed my natural hair!  After the strand test went so well, I decided to dye my hair using the Moroccan henna powder and organic indigo powder.  I filmed a lot of it, including mixing the henna and indigo and then applying the paste.  It was about 6 hours total to mix the paste,...

I ordered Moroccan Henna powder and organic indigo powder to dye my hair and did a strand test on shed hairs to see what color I would get.  Some people call this mix henndigo.  I used one teaspoon of henna and mixed it with warm, bottled water.  I used one teaspoon of indigo and mixed it...

I finally decided to give Moroccan henna powder and organic indigo powder a try to dye my natural hair.  Henna and indigo are plants that are used to dye hair.  You have probably seen henna used to dye skin for temporary tattoos.  Henna also has conditioning effects that benefit the hair. I...

I have been on the hunt for a salon to do a good blow out on natural hair for a long time.  I have tried a few salons and thus far I have not gone back to any.   Joseph Tyler Salon, may be different. I have walked past this salon many times over the last five or so years but I never went...

I’ve always wanted big curly, natural hair and I’ve finally achieved the style I like on my fine 4a natyral hair.  I got a ton of compliments on my hair and my sister even thought it was weave since it looked so full.  As you can tell by this blog, it was a lot of trial and error...

Have you ever wanted to try Ayurvedic herbs on your hair, but you do not want to buy or mix your own herbs?  I have a solution, an Ayurvedic Herb Shampoo Bar.  I finally tried my Chargin Valley shampoo bar sample and it was surprisingly great.  It lathered, way more than I expected, and...

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...
