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 …
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, …
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 …
Update
Five months in and I’m just doing my first post of 2016! So much for posting more frequently. I may not have accomplished that goal, but I have thankfully been able to complete a few others on my list. I’ve even started going to the gym! Regarding my hair, there are quite a few reviews …
Why I’m Not Feeling Eco Styler Anymore
I think nearly every natural tries Eco Styler at some point for a wash and go. It was one of the first gels I used. It’s cheap and easily accessible on the ground. You can get a 5lb tub for less than $10! I’ve tried Olive, Krystal, Pink, Blue, Yellow, and Argan. They work well …
Review: Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa (Covent Garden, London)
Salon Review: On Saturday, I went to Aveda Lifestyle Salon & Spa for a cut with Subrina. Probably, the first thing I’d point out was that it was extremely hard to get in contact with anyone there to make the appointment. I called the listed number for 3 days and never got anyone on the …
Scissor Happy … and Forgetting That I’m Now 4-years Natural
Anyone else do this? I have this habit of sitting with the shears near me. Anytime I see a split end, thin end, split strand, or knots, I start cutting! I really need to stop becuase I get so distracted just examining my ends. The worst is when I find a strand I want to …
What Next?
This is going to be an update of sorts. The string of reviews is getting a bit redundant for me. Not only that, it takes a while to test a product. Unless I absolutely hate it the first time, I use half, if not most, of a product before posting a full review. While I …
Heat Damage? (Flat Iron Update)
This is just a quick update on my flat ironing experience. My hair reverted with no straight pieces. The hair directly above my ears seemed slightly limp/looser. That’s my finest section of hair so I should have used a lower heat setting there. Next time, I’ll know better. Thankfully, it’s extremely small sections on both …
