Who will tell you the truth about hair care?

I haven't made a post here in awhile but I do still read related blogs and I wanted to mention some of my favorite fact-based hair and beauty blogs.  There's no shortage of old wive's tales circulating around black hair care so it is refreshing and interesting to get a purely scientific point of view [...]

Deep Conditioning

I deep condition once a week. Yesterday was my deep conditioner day and I made kind of a pointless video about it. My hair didn't turn out as good as it usually does. I changed up my recipe and I used barely any of the amla/brahmi/henna powders. I also added coconut milk, honey, buttermilk powder, [...]

My Hair Regimen 1.0

Correction to Yesterday’s Post

I feel the need to correct myself on something I wrote yesterday.  I said that there are few examples for those of us with kinky hair but that really isn’t true.  I have found new blogs and vlogs to follow on a daily basis.  It really is just a matter of looking out for them. [...]

Short kinky hair is inspirational too + “typical” black hair?

I just want to send out a note to encourage women with short kinky hair to flaunt it, and document their hair journeys.  I’m not going to say that no one is doing it but we could use more examples out there.  Personally, I am not one to “flaunt” anything.  I am not stylish or [...]
