*original before and after photo* I’ve waited, perhaps longer than necessary, to do an update on my experience using the Shea Moisture Hair Color System in Reddish Blond. Check out my first post here and on my Instagram for photos in the months following the color. My color has grown out quite a bit in …
Every year without fail, I forget that I my “natural hair anniversary,” as some call it. It’s not exactly a major milestone for me; I’m not thrilled with my hair this year and had a few setbacks. A disastrous “professional” trim that left patches of breakage… Mid-strand splits coming out of nowhere… Single-strand knots popping …
Breaking up the monotony of reviews a bit here: I need a trim badly; I attempted to get one professionally, but umm, let’s just say it didn’t work out. That’s probably the second time I ever wanted to shed a tear in the salon. The pain and horror were that great. I don’t even want …
I am so annoyed with my hair and doing it! Why are wash days so long? Yes, “day” is the accurate term for me. Why are none of my wash and go combos working? Why are none of my styles done on wet hair working? Why must it take forever and a day to dry? …
When I took out my kinky twists, my hair needed some attention. I clarified and then did a protein treatment with Curl Junkie Repair Me followed by an overnight treatment with Karen’s Body Beautiful Luscious Locks Mask.

For the past four and a half weeks, I was wearing kinky twists. It’s admittedly backwards that I’m creating a post after taking them out, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Prior to installing the twists, I prepared my hair by doing a collagen treatment (Umberto Pre-Shampoo Collagen Treatment), shampooing (Shea Moisture Organic Raw …
I’ve been wearing kinky twists since the 26th of August…and I MISS MY HAIR!!! How do people keep protective styles in for months on end? I personally cannot do it. I get bored. I miss doing my hair and playing in my OWN hair. Nevertheless I will be attempting to keep these in for 6, …
I am still doing wash and go’s as my regular style. This week I used my old rinse color Adore Bordeaux. I mixed it with Spiral Solutions Deeply Decadent Moisturizing Treatment, but even so, it still felt like an intense protein treatment. I love the color and effect; it’s not intense, but is visible in …
I use my hair as a way to express myself and a bit of a stress reliever so whenever I’m going through something, there’s sure to be a change in my color and/or cut. August 29, 2010, I did just that. Got my hair cut into a short bob-very short, up to my ears. I …
This is long overdue! I am just realizing I’ve never talked about my “hair story” on my blog! What the eff right? So here goes nothing. I first got a relaxer when I was very young; I’m not sure how old but definitely younger than 10. I actually asked for a relaxer. My big sis …
