The Best Cheap Shampoos and Conditioners!

Okay, so I wash my hair pretty often, say about 2-3 times a week. I wash Bear's hair just as much. Needless to say, we go through a lot of shampoo and conditioner. While I have my splurge faves, I also want to share some really amazing cheap finds! Now for sake of what is actually considered to be cheap, we're going to go with products that are less

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

My Experiment with Natural Hair (update!)

A while back, I posted how I was only going to use three products for the entire 2021 - shampoo, conditioner, and hair grease. It was a challenging feat since I'm a bit of a product junkie but I wanted to see if I could actually do it. My ultimate goal is to have bra-strap length hair so I have a bit of a ways before that happens. But

Natural Hair Update

So, for the past several months, I decided to tackle a challenge (click here for a refresher). My rules - only shampoo, conditioner, and hair grease. That's it. And other rules: Very little heat, sparingly. Can switch up my shampoo and conditioner.Protective hair styling is encouraged.Co-washing conditioners are acceptable. I dye my hair about every 6-8 weeks. I also trim my hair every 6 weeks or as needed.I wash my

My Natural Hair Journey

Going back to basics. I began my natural hair journey back in 2014. After the birth of Bear, I was doing fine for a while with my hair until the natural postpartum shedding occurred. And I was no prepared for the amount of hair loss I had. So I decided to cut it all off! And then I grew it out! And then I got a bored so I

We tried the Monat Hair Care System. This is what happened.

Several weeks ago, my old high-school friend, Stephanie, sent me a care package. I meant to do this review sooner but then the pandemic happened and I also got a job. Crazy. Anyhoo, let's talk about the Monat hair care system. It's not available in any store. Not Ulta. Not Sephora. Not even Macy's or anything high-end. I have to keep it real with y'all. Monat is a MLM

The Top 10 Co-Washes You Need. NOW.

Since I went natural some years ago, I've become a bit of a product junkie. While I have narrowed my faves down to two hands-down, you can't beat these products, there are a host of others I highly recommend. Now, as a precursor, I'm recommending these products for those who have Type 3 and Type 4 hair because that's the hair me and Bear are rockin'. However, cowashes are

The Best High-End Co-Wash You’ll Need

I think I'm forever searching for the best cowashing conditioner that suits both my hair and Bear's. Bear has super curly Type 3 hair and I bounce between Type 4A and 4B, with some dabbles in 4C. Keeping Bear's hair moisturized and conditioned is an Olympic sport within itself. Not that it's always been easy but when he becomes more active, well, I also become more active in keeping his

We’re Shea Moisture Ambassadors!

It's no secret for my love of Shea Moisture on this site. I've been reviewing their products for years now and I've even scolded them when they made a boo-boo. So, I'm super, SUPER jazzed that Bear and I are a part of the 2018 Shea Moisture Ambassador class! Pretty much like that. Here's our unboxing video. Please excuse the mess of our home. We're still in the process of unpacking
