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

This is Why I Will Never Use Pantene’s Curling Custard

I recently learned a valuable lesson - just because a brand is particularly good in a few areas, they aren't necessarily good at everything. Oh, Pantene...why thou forsake me and turn my hair into paper? Yeah, it's that bad. Let's begin... The Consistency: For what it's worth, it's creamy and smooth. It does smell great. The Cost: Very cheap. I paid a little over $6 for this one. It's available pretty much everywhere. The Routine: I used it

Is Pure-Licious Sensational for Your Curls?

I'm on a mission to try as many conditioning washes (otherwise known as cowash) as possible. Even ones I'm not sure about. Even ones I never heard about. Even ones I love so I can just spread the word. Yeah, I get like that when I see a new product I want to try. I recently tried Creme of Nature's Pure-Licious Co-Wash. I'm familiar with the Creme of Nature brand as I've

Finding the Perfect Leave-In Can Be Hard Work

One thing many naturalistas can agree on is how hard it can be to find the perfect leave-in. As you journey more on your natural hair care journey, you find what used to work for you, may not. Something that may be sworn up by many women, may have blah results for you.

Hair Milk: Splendiferous Miracle or Full of It?

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="250"] Click on the picture to purchase[/caption] To be honest, I wanted to use splendiferous in a title for a while now. I'm not trying to show off my SAT score from way back when. I just like unusual words. Hello family. How are you? I hope you're doing well. Today, I'm reviewing Carol's Daughter Hair Milk. This is a product that is used to refresh curls, coils, and kinks and

Natural Hair Care Review: Shea Moisture

I'm not a fan of Shea Moisture. Nothing against them but I never had any of their products move me. I believe that something might be great for one but doesn't do anything for another. It's amazing how one product will change all of that. I've been looking for a new shampoo since my hair is quickly growing and I need something more for it. While the L'Oreal EverCurl worked great
