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 …
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 …
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 …
Best of 2017: Hair
I’m kicking off 2018 on the blog by updating my favorites including hair, makeup and skincare. I haven’t done many hair posts lately because I’ve been braided up for the past few months. Check out the list below for some products I’ve been loving, many of which are old favorites. Shampoo: Deva Curl NoPoo Decadence …
Use up the Stash: Update #13 (Mini Reviews Included)
Wow! Realising how long it’s been since I’ve posted one of these. I think it’s safe to safe I’ve finished my “stash”. I’m so low on products, I’ve resorted to going to Boots again. I know, I know, I should have learned my lesson after my last experience shopping for hair products there. Nevertheless, I …
Review: ORS Olive Oil with Moringa Oil Strand Strengthening Styling Gelee
It’s been a few months since I’ve done a review, and trust me, getting around to this one was difficult. I was feeling ambitious this weekend, even updated my eBay store (click here for my shameless plug). Now on to the review. I was completely out of my favourite gel, Wetline Xtreme, and in a …
