Today marks four years since I went natural. When I started this journey back in 2015, I had no idea what I had in store. From waiting for what felt like a lifetime for my hair to grow out, to…
Hair Thoughts.
This past weekend when I was washing my hair, something struck me. I have a lot of hair. I found it kind of funny that for the longest time all I wanted was lots of hair that I would one…
Two Years: Length Check.
Sunday marked officially two years since I last used a chemical relaxer on my hair and oh my god, how time has flown! Over the last couple of months, I’ve been thinking about how best to commemorate this special occasion,…
I Didn’t Big Chop But It May Not Have Been That Bad.
It would seem that the nearer I get to my two year no relaxer anniversary that I’ve been thinking more about my hair and my hair journey, and how different it could have been. Like most girls I have an…

Dry Hair Shampooing.
So that time of the month came around last week, when I shampoo my hair and clean my strands of the month’s built up dirt, oils and products. This month I used Tresemme’s 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner. However this time,…
Ossat Naturals Shaping Gelly.
