How to Tell if Design Essentials is Right for You?

Bear has super curly hair. I mean, super curly hair. It gets tangled a lot and I spend more time than I would care to detangling his hair. Sometimes, it’s been as little as 10 minutes and sometimes it’s been as much as an hour. It takes a no-brainer to figure out I would rather prefer the former than the latter.  Because Bear has super curly hair, his hair gets

Bear’s Curly Hair Routine

It's been a while since I've done a curly hair post so here it is! I've been trying different products lately to get a desired curly hair look for Bear. He's never had his hair cut (though he has had trims), and I regularly wash and detangle his hair. But sometimes, it takes more than water and a brush to get through it: I decided to do something new

Is Cantu Amazing For Your Curls?

Cantu Beauty has a new (well, new to me) product in their line that I happily test-drove on Bear's hair. I did use the product on my hair but I don't think I had the same results as his (and when I mean by the same as in my hair still frizzed up pretty bad). Now, I have to say this before you read on, Los Angeles (and pretty much

Irresistible Pretty Boy on Fleek: Sensational Curly Hair #biracial #mixed #hair #productreview

  I've been getting a lot of questions on Bear's hair care routine and the products I use. Since I'm often trying new products on his hair, I decide to share my tips, tricks, (and some misses) as well as rave about some products I've used. Let's go! Figure out your child's hair type. Biracial/mixed and curly hair often comes in different curl patterns and textures. Once you determine your child's

My Two-Year Natural Hair Journey! Bliss! Frustration!

So, let's go on a journey, shall we? Let's take it back to 2014. I just gave birth to Bear in November 2013 and was enjoying the perils and joys of motherhood. Sometime in the spring, I noticed the one thing so many have warned me about - postpartum hair loss. And not a little. A LOT. I was debating for a while to chop off my hair, even as far back

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="105"] Click on the picture to purchase! [/caption] For this week's biracial/mixed hair care review, we're checking out Dream Kids' Olive Miracle Instant Moisturizing Detangler (whew, that's a mouthful!).

The following oils are included: olive, coconut, grapeseed, jojoba, avocado, wheatgerm, and

This is Why L’Oreal’s EverCurl is the Paramount

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="100"] Click on the picture to purchase [/caption] So, I've been on the search for the perfect shampoo for Bear. He has super curly hair. If I had to put him into a category, it'll be 3A/3B hair type. This is a child who does a lot of things with his hair - he pulls on it, he wipes his dirty hands on it, he has no qualms

Biracial Hair Care Review: Is As I Am Full of Magic?

Let me begin with a preface for those who are new to the blog: I often use hair care products that wouldn't be typically geared to biracial/mixed and/or curly hair. I want to show what products work best for curly hair as well as what I typically have in my armory. It's one of the benefits of being a naturalista - whatever I use on my hair, I can

Biracial/Mixed Hair Care Review: Curl Junkie

This is a special review because I'm not reviewing a typical product one would use on children's hair. I'm in the experimental phase with Bear's hair, however, and as long as he's still little, I'm going to test drive what works on his hair and what doesn't. (I purchased this from CurlMart so even though the above link is Amazon, you might find a better deal at CurlMart.)  Anyway, let's get
