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 …
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 …
Although I’ve prepared photos for a handful of posts, I haven’t been able to bring myself to write for months. In this cycle of lockdowns, I’ve lost motivation – not just with creating content, but in every aspect. Now, I’m trying to ease back into blogging with the hopes that I’ll get inspired in doing …
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 …

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 …
Biologique Recerche P50: Best acid toner I’ve ever used, and probably the strongest. I had to dilute it when I first started using it, and now I use it on its own. Overall, it noticeably improves texture and helps to speed up recovery time. Differin: This has helped to clear my skin and minimize breakouts. …
I have several skincare products to post in the empties, acids, oils and moisturisers are upcoming in separate posts. I thought I’d start off with my first step in the routine: cleansers. Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser (available here): The Indie Lee cleansers are just ok for me, and at times, they’re even a bit stripping. They smell …
I’ve been unintentionally hoarding a stash of empties. In an effort to cut down on the clutter, I’m finally posting about them. This post is mainly skincare, and I’ll do another with hair and body products. Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser: This didn’t work for me at all. It’s supposed to be a warming gel cleanser, …
