I don’t know if y’all remember the post I did awhile ago about my visit to this great little store/spa called Georgia in SoHo, here in New York. It’s an amazing little shop if you’re in the area and you get a chance to go over there. Anyway, owner Jodie Patterson just started a new web series called Girl Crush and I LOVE it.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock with no WiFi for the past few years, you’ve heard of Curly Nikki and her fab website about natural hair. What you may now know, however, is that Nikki wrote a book that is coming out in January called Better Than Good Hair”. It features several natural hair bloggers (including ME!) and she’s currently running a pretty amazing giveaway

Aunt Jackie’s “Oh So Clean” Shampoo Review :(

Posted in Hair, Health | Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

suds savvyheader

It’s so rare that I find sulfate-free shampoos (that don’t cost a fortune) anywhere but online these days. I had heard of the Aunt Jackie’s line before, but never got a chance to try any of their products. Well, I learned something that day…

Aunt Jackie’s “Oh So Clean” Shampoo 12 oz. $11.99

Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Sodium (C-14-16) Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coconut Oil Monoethanolamide, Polyquaternium 7, Glycol Stearate, Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Fruit, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Citric Acid, Tetrasodium EDTA, D-Limonene, Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Linaool, Amyl Cinnamic Aldehyde, Lilial, 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, CI 15985 (Yellow 6), CI 47005 (Yellow 10)

I used my new shampoo method when I tried this product and I noticed something right away. This product suds up A LOT for a sulfate-free shampoo.

So I did some research.

Thank you for your patience while I handled a family emergency over the past month or so. I really appreciate those of you who emailed me with kind words. :)

I’m back with my first twist out video! Those of you who came to the last meetup saw the long version of this already. For those of you who have been following this blog for  awhile, you’ll know that the twistout is the base style that I use to create just about every other hairstyle I rock.

This video shows you the following:

  • My personal twist out reggie
  • How I use WonderCurl and Oyin products
  • How I get my hair all twisted in 1 hour (believe it)
  • How I really do have thick, 4b hair!

So take a look and please comment below here to tell me what you think, or ask questions!
