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 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...

A few months ago, while still wearing Senegalese twists, I bought a few seamless combs – combs with smooth teeth.  I did some research and decided to buy from hairsense.com.  I ordered the 201 (fine tail), 205 (medium rake) and 206 (handle rake).  They did not look seamless at first,...

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 have been a fan of hair candy for many years.  I didn’t realize where it came from until I lost my great aunt and a request from the family was that we wear a flower in our hair at the funeral, as she often did.  I think a well placed flower in your hair can jazz it up and it also...

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...

Between weeks 13 – 24 of my transition from relaxed to natural I started to notice my natural hair texture growing in.  By that I mean I noticed a difference between the relaxed hair length and the hair at my roots. All hair textures are different.  You hair texture may be totally...

Brown women can wear blonde wigs.  Have you ever really wanted to try something other than the usual color 1B, 1, 2, 4, 4/27 or 1b/30 hair.  Yes, me too but I was always afraid to try anything too different from my own hair.  Yes, I do own one 1B/30 and one 4/27/30 but that was always the...

There are so many options once you decide to transition to natural hair.  Of course, I decided to grow out my relaxed hair over the course of 2 years and I kept my hair straight for months into my transition.  You do have options. You can protective style by keeping your hair in braids,...

If you have never worn a wig, it may be intimidating for you to go out to try on your first wig.  I had this experience and was reminded of it recently when a friend asked me about wigs for the first time.  She is having some medical issues that will result in her losing her hair very soon...

Janet Collection came out with a lace front wig collection called Whole Lace and I decided to try a short style, the Mini.  I also decided to try some color.  I bought this style in a 4/27/30 although my normal wig color is 1B or 2. Whole lace means hand sewn rather than tracks like most of...

Janet Collection came out with a lace front wig collection called Whole Lace and I decided to try the First Lady, based on the signature hair style worn by First Lady Michelle Obama.  I had never worn a bob style but was confident that I could pull it off.  I was not really sure what whole...

Prior to purchasing, I had seen the La Jay wig a few times on youtube.  I was reluctant to order this half wig because it just looked to big.  I went ahead and bit the bullet and order the style and was so glad that I did.  This half wig looked very much like my crochet braid style, but...

Since so many people have asked me about wearing wigs, I will share some tips and tricks that I learned along the way.  At one point I owned at least 30 wigs.  I have since sold at least half of them.  Initially I was afraid to wear wigs.  Yes, afraid. When you are not familiar with...
