Baby hair or laid edges can be polarising. People either love them or hate them. Personally, I’m a fan. I may not do extreme edge designs, but I appreciate the art of it. One thing I’ve always had difficulty with is finding a product that provides hold for more than just a couple minutes. I’ve …
GHD MAXimum Failure? – A Review
I love the flexibility of natural hair and wearing different styles, but straight styles are the most difficult to maintain, especially living in the UK. I was outside for less than 30 minutes and came home with part afro, part pin curls. During the pandemic, I’ve had more time to do my hair since I …
Sunset Ombre Braids
For the past 10 years or more, I’ve had permanent or semi-permanent colour in my hair and even henna. I love colour and being able to change my look, but I’m tired of colouring my own hair. Plus with COVID lockdowns, I wasn’t able to maintain regular salon visits to get touch-ups. Braids, twists, and …
My Love/Hate Relationship with Spring and Passion Twists
When I took out my pink ombre braids, I knew spring twists would be my next style. They’re easier and quicker to do. I can do them in one day as opposed to the 2-3 days my small braids require. Even the twisting process is easier on my hands. With spring and passion twists, you …
Protective Styling During Lockdown – Knotless Braids with Catface Hair
Ages ago, I saw a picture on Instagram of the most beautiful ombre braids, and it stuck with me. It was an off-black, pink, and pinkish blond combination. I scoured Amazon and Ebay hoping to find a similar ombre, and finally it hit me to just do a Google Image Search – duh! I was …
The New Kinks Of Nature
Happy Juneteenth! Over the past couple weeks, I’ve spent the bulk of my free time migrating and updating the blog, with the hopes of giving it a fresher, cleaner, more modern look. I’ve been saying I wanted to do it for years, and I finally got the push I needed. It’s even more gratifying, albeit …
Am I Still Using DevaCurl?
I’ve previously written about my love of DevaCurl Decadence No Poo and One Condition on a few occasions. They kept my hair moisturised like no other, and for that reason I’ve patronised the business for almost a decade, since I began my natural hair journey. Initially, I used the original No Poo and One Condition, …
Empties #22: A Little Bit of Everything…
This post is beyond overdue; it’s all of my 2019 empties! There are so many, I dreaded writing mini reviews for all of them. However, self-isolation really leaves a lot of free time. Below are reviews of some of the full size products that I liked. Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask: This is my favourite …
A Long Overdue Hair Update
I was about to write a review for Olaplex and remembered it’s been ages since I’ve actually posted about my hair here! In December, I got my hair professionally coloured and have had a few highlight sessions since then. The last of which left me with a few slightly looser strands in the front, where …
Empties: Update #16 – Hair and Body Products (Mini Reviews Included)
I’ve taken a break from posting and social media to just deal with life and all of its wonderful ups and downs. However, blogging has always been a bit of a release, so I’m trying to get back into it. It also helped to finally get rid of the empties I’ve been hoarding for a …
