I was extra excited about ordering my products from Essential Wholesale. I had been researching for weeks – well, at least from the evening I heard about the company. I was so excited! I was going to try a number of things at drastically low prices! I mean, as much as I enjoy some commercially…

My regimen: Fall/Winter 2010
Here’s another update on my regimen for fall/winter 2010. Actually, I think my regimen is more to the point – I’ve taken off my product junkie crown and that is totally streamlining the products I’m using. But I will be swapping out some products for the season just because of the frigid Canadian winter. (It’s…
Boo for hair typing!
I’m done with hair typing. It’s a waste of time. I can’t swear that my hair is a 4a, 4b or whatever. All I know is that I love my hair and it’s growing. Whether it’s 4a with some defined curls or 4b with cottony clouds, what it comes down to is that my hair…
Confessions of a reformed product junkie
I’m so through with the product junkie-ism. Why? Well, over the past couple of weeks there’s been a lot of discussion about some very popular, hair care manufacturers using wholesale bases and selling them as handmade, very expensive products. Check out the discussion on NaturallyCurly. There are products that I like and products that I’d…

Breast Cancer Awareness month: Still
I don’t know how many of you know of R&B singer Eric Roberson. If you want real music, listen to his CD Music Fan First. Anyhow, Eric has an awesome song and video that talks about breast cancer. When I watched it, I got tears in my eyes. Beautiful song and beautiful video. Check it…
Need deep conditioning help!
Last week, I took my twists out and I wanted to pamper my hair with a nice deep conditioning treatment before I styled. But guess what? I had run out. Gasp! I had been using QP Elasta’s DPR-11 or Ms. Key’s 10 en 1. Thankfully, great bloggers and commenters have shared a secret with me:…
Doing the ‘do: The modified Cinnabun
A couple of weeks ago in my Goo.gle Reader, I saw a really cool style tutorial on Glamazini.com for Juretha’s Cinnabun. I had said that I wanted to introduce buns into my styling now that hair is longer. I watched the tutorial and saw the pictures and Roshini’s hair looked great. (BTW, I do enjoy…
Clutch Magazine: Breast Cancer Survival Rate Are Increasing
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month and I’m going to be sharing article, thoughts, whatever, concerning breast cancer education and more. I figure, if I can fill an entire blog with information about hair, I can take a couple of posts this month to share some information that may save someone’s life. So, last week, I…

I love my hair too! I’m glad that Sesame Street is encouraging our little girls to love themselves and their hair!
