So...remember that one time I tried to do my own faux locs?

Why? WHY?!?!?!

 

 

 Because you never know when that hair product in the bottom of your hair box might be the diamond in the rough that you never knew you had!

 

That very thing happed to me this weekend with a product from a brand that well...lol keep reading.

Recently you ladies have been sharing with me your frustrations with your natural hair on IG and on Youtube. 

A lot of you have reached out to me saying that until you found my page there were not a lot of natural hair bloggers who's hair you could relate to and that you don't know what products to use and are at a complete loss.

WELL HAVE NO FEAR LADIES I AM HERE TO HELP!

So not two days after I felt compelled to make my "Oscars Best Dressed: Brown Girl Edition" which you can see HERE because I felt as though women of color and their beauty was being underrepresented on all the other *side eye* best dressed list. Fashion Police Host Guiliana Rancic took it upon herself to well....take a look after the jump

There must be no better feeling in the world then walking down the red carpet on Oscars night...I mean unless you actually count winning an Oscar, I suppose.

However if you are anything like me, when you hear Oscars your mind immediately jumps to GLORIOUS fashion and not movies or a little gold man. They should actually give out awards on the red carpet to the best dressed because CLEARLY they are the real MVP's .

HEY YALL!!

First and for most Happy Thanksgiving to every last one of you reading this. One thing that I am so thankful for is you...yes YOU! Im so grateful to have such supportive followers and people who really believe in my dreams and what I do. I couldn't ask for anything more =)

I hope that all of you have and had an amazing Thanksgiving filled with food, family, friends and love.


Now that you are stuffed just as your turkey once was lol its time to rack up on some AMAZING savings...because you all know I love savings and I want to share them with all my favorite curlies!!

Hey Loves!

I hope this Monday is treating you well! Its been about a week and a half since I installed my Haute Kinky Hair clip ins that I made from wefted hair in their "Kinks" line and I couldn't be happier.



I'm still testing and playing around with the hair everyday and will be trying more in depth styling options and shampooing etc at the beginning of next week but I wanted to get out my initial thoughts on the hair because there have been soooooo many questions.

And I mean why wouldn't there be?

When extensions can take you from this

Hey Loves!

So its starting to get cold outside which means the weather is about to start reeking havoc on our happy little natural curls. The cold and harsh elements of fall and winter can really damage and dry out our hair if we don't take extra good care of it and take the necessary steps to retain moisture and protect our tresses.

Of course the easiest way to protect your hair through the winter months would be protective styling...and I'm pretty sure ill get there as sooooooon as I stop being lazy LOL! No honestly I tend to do all my hairstyles myself and have either been too lazy or busy to put in a protective style...so in the mean time to retain moisture I've be working on some at home steaming methods.

Hey loves!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE ITS FALL?!!?

In honor of bipolar weather that changes out of nowhere I wanted to bring this quick little ootd to you guys that will hopefully give you all some inspiration on how to transition summer clothing into fall so you don't have to go splurge on a full new wardrobe...just yet lol.

For those of you who follow and know me well, i'm sure you have noticed that I LIVE for a good twist out. I mean this past summer alone I have pretty much lived and died by the twist outs every style that I have worn, was created from a twist out.

Oh my god and when I discovered the flat twist out?!

 Chiiiiiiile sign me up, close the deal I WAS HOOKED...pretty much for life. However as Fifi (my hair) grows and changes i'm slowly starting to learn that what I use on my hair solely has to be based off what she likes...because clearly my wants for my hair don't matter she has a mind of her own *insert side eye here* 

Well, last week I think I discovered Fifi's new favorite product!!!

-_______-

That face right there is the EXACT face I had in the middle of trying to wash and deep condition my hair last Monday as my attempt to breath some life into Fifi turned into a complete fiasco. 

Prior to said fiasco wash day actually started off completely normal. I set up all the necessary products,  procrastinated for about 3 hours and then finally decided to get to work. (The procrastination period is very important lol)

One of the most frequently asked questions I get about about natural hair is how to keep it healthy. It seems as though everyone is on the hunt for some secret method or elixir that will magically turn their hair into the poster child for the "perfect" natural hair overnight. 

When the truth is.....it aint gonna happen captain. Healthy natural hair takes work to get and to maintain and depending on the condition your hair was in previously, when you big chopped or where you are in your natural journey how long it will take to get to a "healthy" state and what you need to do to get it there can be different from one curly girl to the next.
