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 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...

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 have been searching for products to give me definition, moisture, shine and length for my twist outs and braid outs.  I know, that is really a lot to ask from one hair product.  I have been wearing twist outs since taking out my extensions.  I have enjoyed trying new products but due to...

I did a twist out with Jane Carter Nourish & Shine and it came out very well!  I did not take photos of the process since it’s the same twist out process I always use for second and third day hair (spritz with water, add product & twist).  I used the Nourish & Shine on a...

I have been on a twist out kick for a few weeks and this week I went back to using Bee Mine Bee Hold Curly Butter.  It’s a natural product made with 100% Shea Butter, 100% Aloe Vera Gel, Essential Oil Blend, Vegetable Glycerin, Rosemary Leaf and Chammomile Extract, Silk Powder and...

So, I finally broke down and tried Eco Styler Moroccan Argan Oil gel on my natural hair.  I did not have a great experience with the Olive Oil Eco Styler which left my hair crunchy and with no movement.  Well, lo and behold, this argan oil version did not leave my hair crunchy like the...

In case you have not tried it, the Tightly Curly method for curly hair recommends using lots of conditioner to style your hair.  Basically, you use what is called a “combing conditioner” to detangle your curly hair using a denman brush. When I used this method, I used Herbal...

I tried Eco Styler Olive Oil gel as a substitute for Kinky Curly Curling Custard to see if I would get similar results with a less pricey gel. I used Eco Styler on soaking wet hair after applying my leave in conditioner to avoid crunchy hair.  I immediately noticed a bit of a coating on my...

I tried out Kink Curly Curling Custard along with Knot Today leave in after receiving a gift card for Target from work.  I’m frugal and usually to not try out pricey products if I have to buy the full size version.  I prefer to use sample or to try out a smaller version (cheaper...

As you transition from relaxed to natural hair, you do not want to give up your workout routine.  I have been trying to figure out a good work out hairstyle that won’t look a hot mess after 45 minutes to 1 hour of cardio and I think I’ve got it! I did a blow out using my blow...

I finally took out my Senegalese twists that have been installed since March 10 (nearly 3 months).  I noticed a bit of matting while cleaning my scalp with Seabreeze that made me take them out sooner than planned.  I had 2 touch ups during the 3 months to freshen up the look but it really...

If you are like me and using wigs while you transition from relaxed to natural hair, you may be wondering what to do with your own hair while wearing wigs.  The answer is PLAY IN IT!  What you do not want to do is grow up a full head of natural hair for 1 to 2 years and then not know how to...
