After reading so many reviews and watching youtube videos on the Mommy Wig I finally bought one after about a year.  The packaging made the wig look like something a grandmother would wear so it really did take a long time for me to try this wig.  Not to mention, it is a short style and my...

I bought a custom, human hair, full lace wig directly from China.  A video is below. It’s Burmese hair.  I ordered a 12 inch wig with a silk top.  I had used synthetic lace front wigs in the past and once I was comfortable enough using synthetic lace front wigs, I decided to try out a...

I had been reading a ton of information about natural heads using Crisco, yes that Crisco, on their hair and getting great results.  After reading about it for months, I finally went out and bought some Crisco.  The ingredients are: Soybean Oil, Fully Hydrogenated Palm Oil, Partially...

Have you been looking for a natural looking wig to use during your transition or as a protective hairstyle?  I have tried a few half wigs and full wigs and most have not looked all that natural on me.  I came across Beshe Shelly via a couple of youtubers and I decided to give her a try.  I...

At 80 weeks and 3 days post relaxer I was still wearing half wigs and phony ponytails.  The hair I used is Milky Way human hair and I used IC Fantasia gel on my edges.  Although a lot of people use the keratin treatment to keep their hair straight, I used decided to keep my hair curly more...

At 88 weeks post relaxer I tried my first flat twist out on my almost fully natural hair. I washed using Optimum shampoo and WEN FIG.  I deep conditioned using Sperm Whale conditioner with heat, Nacidit olive oil conditioner with heat and Silicon mix with heat.  I used them all for 15...

At 85 weeks and 5 days post relaxer I finally tried a much raved about product, Eco Styler gel.  I tried Eco Styler gel on my entire head and it turned out well.  Prior to that I had only been using the gel on small sections to see how it dried.  For this style I used Herbal Essences Long...

At 73 weeks post relaxer I did another roller set since the last one worked out so well.  I tried using Lotta Body setting lotion for the first time ever and I had okay results.  I think I used too much since my hair was a bit flaky.  I put my hair in a pin up style for an event at...

A few days after the Lasio Keratin treatment, I washed my hair. My wet hair was laying on my back, something that had not happened to me in a long time since starting my transition to natural hair.  My hair felt coated, but not heavy.  I used WEN Fig Cleansing Conditioner and my hair did not...

By the time I was 61 weeks into my transition from relaxed to natural hair, I had a mini chop but I still had a significant amount of relaxed ends that I needed to blend with my curly hair for the times I decided to wear my own hair out.  More often than not during this time, I relied on full...

At 50 weeks and 4 days post relaxer I attempted to flat iron again using Sabino.  I thought that if only I could properly blow dry my hair, I’d get better results. I do think that I used Sabino properly this time, I used it on wet hair.  I washed with June Jacobs clarifying shampoo and...

At 49 weeks and 5 days pot relaxer I picked up a new wig, Freetress Bali Girl in 1B/30.  It was a lot of hair but I made it work by wearing it half up and half down. As you can see, wearing hair that is not my same length nor my natural color (or that has highlights) is not an issue for me....

I picked up a new wig called Sarifa by Vanessa while wig shopping with my mom, around 48 weeks post relaxer. I had been wearing a synthetic lace front for a while but Sarifa is not a lace front.  It’s a full wig.  I simply put my own hair in cornrows and pinned on the wig with bobby...

      46 weeks & 5 days – Rollerset & Flat Iron (Breakage Galore) I need to just stick with what works. I took out cornrows this day after 12 days. I detangled with Hair One and all was well….until I washed. I clarified with June Jacobs citrus clarifying poo...

I took the plunge and tried a shampoo bar for my natural hair, a sulfate free shampoo bar. There are tons of companies that sell natural hair products and in this case I went with Chagrin Valley Soap & Craft Company. I purchased 20 samples, some skin bars and some shampoo bars. At least...

        Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Wife, but most importantly, Hide Your Hair Products  For some reason that Bed Intruder song just popped into my head when I was writing this. Hah!  If you have not seen it, check youtube. Something that became a problem for me during my...
