Sorry Canadians, this doesn’t apply to us — unless you’re taking a trip south. Miss Jessie’s, along with some other natural hair care brands, have been in Target for a few months now — not at any of the Targets I’ve visited — but that may be changing. Miss Jessie’s has just expanded into 200…
A wholesale pain in the *bleep* – Part 2
So, I was waiting patiently since October 27 for the products that I ordered from Essential Wholesale. After filling out 15 pages of paperwork for the company and Health Canada, I faxed everything in and sent an email asking for them to let me know if they received the information on November 2.

Hair treats for me!
For the past few months, I’ve been on a strict no-buying hair products diet. I did it for a couple of reasons, but mainly because I was trying to pay off some trips from this past summer and I wanted to simplify my hair regimen. Really, there is no use buying 68 different conditioners because…
Product review: Carol’s Daughter Healthy Hair Butter
