I kept passing this stuff whenever I was at Target, because I remember the old Shea Moisture brand, (remember the ones in the white bottles with the red and green lettering?) and they were chock full of icky ingredients. Then one day someone asked me had I tried their reformulated shampoo and I got curious. I’d already tried their Deep Treatment Masque, and I really like it. So I thought I’d check the shampoo out for you guys. Here’s my review:

My girl Scarlett is back with some new products in the Wonder Curl line and I couldn’t wait to try them! I’ve reviewed and done giveaways on her Wonder Curl Get Set Hair Jelly here on the blog, and so I was excited when she told me that she was coming out with another product call Butter Than Love. It comes in two formulations: pudding and whipped. Here, I’ll review both:

I’m back with another review of Amazing Botanicals Products. Last week I reviewed the Pumpkin Pomade and this week, I decided to double-up the review by trying both the Aloe Mint Spritz and the Hibiscus Cream Gel.

I actually met Shelley, one of the creators of the Amazing Botanicals product line in my neighborhood coffee shop. I immediately got excited when she told me about how they only use natural ingredients in all of their products, judging by her pretty locs, I could tell whatever they were doing was working. So here is my first of a few review from the Amazing Botanicals line of products.

Here’s a message that landed in my inbox a few weeks ago. I’m sure more of you have had this problem.

Hi Monique!

Everyone seems to have different textures of hair on their head. (Myself included, it drives me nuts!) It’s possible that past relaxers/hot pressing has changed the texture of your hair in that area.  I am not a certified hair dresser, but here’s what’s worked for me in the past:

The Top 5 Oils For Healthy Beautiful Hair

There are an abundance of natural oils that can help you to achieve beautiful, healthy looking hair. In this blog post, I want to share my top five.

Without further ado, let’s get going…

I mentioned missymistique in my last post My Henna Gloss Recipe, and here is the video as promised. Missy uses some interesting ingredients like “purple antioxidants” that I’d like to try. For those of you with natural hair that are new to/struggling with henna, this tutorial video will be very helpful to you.

It’s been awhile since my last henna. One of the reasons is that the process is rather time consuming. You really need to block out a chunk of your day or night to do it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s worth it, as you can see in my My First Henna and subsequent So I Tried Henna Again posts.

I decided to try Henna gloss for 2 reasons, from what I’ve read the process is shorter, and because you’re mixing the henna with conditioner, clean up (of both your hair and your bathroom) is easier.

It’s true.

Here’s what I did:

The heat this summer has forced me to change up my style a bit. Y’all know I love my twistout, but when it’s 125 degrees outside, my hair goes up. So I thought I’d show you some of the styles I’ve been sporting this summer. Some (if you follow this blog) you’ve seen before, some are new.
