Color Treated and Dry Hair Remedy with EO Products
EO Botanical Products Today on Try Something New Tuesday (#tsnt), I am focusing on hair products since it is that time again, Hair Wash Day. It is not that I dread it, but sometimes I have to mentally get ready to do my hair. I do not know if you can relate, but I have to make sure to carve out time in the day and it is about 3 hours or more depending on the treatment that I am giving my hair. This time this product promises to nourish, restore and protect which are all things that my 4b hair needs. I have not done a deep conditioner in…

19th Annual World Natural Hair Show Recap
The 19th annual World Natural Hair Show was one of the hottest events in the Metro Atlanta Area last month. Fashion, entertainment, kidzone, informational sessions and hair products all around, who can resist. There were many new features that they implemented like the Men’s Den. 19th Annual World Natural Hair Show Recap The danger and allure of attending this event is the big time discounts you can receive by attending.

How to Keep it Simple Sweetie
The look in my face in the picture above indicates that I am somewhat a bit happy about something. I decided to use KISS which usually means something derogatory especially what the last S stands for and most times it is the word “stupid”, but I decided to change the word. Keep it simple sweetie is directed at me and any other person who have had challenges with their hair. I have been natural for over 4 years now and during my first 6 months or so, I would use simple hair products to maintain my hair and not venture out so much. I have since that point tried various…

How to Bantu Knot
Bantu knot is a hairstyle that is one that I happen to enjoy more on other people. I found that it is a great style that looks great on even curlies that are transitioning as well as those who have no chemicals in their hair. I have tried this hairstyle one time prior and I did not like it, but this time I decided to try it on hair that had been twisted the week before and I was just wearing as a frohawk. The first time I did do it, I did it on freshly washed hair and maybe it was the combination of the product and me. Check…

Freebies and Samples December 2015
Merry Christmas December is the month that I look forward to maybe the most out of the year after May. December is the time to reflect on all of the things that happened (good and bad) and the time to look forward to and plan for a great future. There are a few things that I certainly regret that I did not do enough of and that is to give love to others, so I am looking forward to next year to be able to surpass the amount of love shown to others this year next year. Another regret is that I did not apply myself enough in obtaining freebies…
