Another thing that happened this summer was that I was featured on Canadian Curlies! Cool, huh? It’s always nice when other bloggers want to hear your story and share it with their subscribers. B-Curlie graciously featured me in September and I wanted to post this earlier, but… well, you understand if you read my earlier…

Follow me on my journey! The Accidental Natural, I write about life, decor, kids, and, of course, my hair, in all of its states.
Hello!!!
Hi all, It’s been a dog’s age since I posted. Not that I haven’t cared — but because I’ve been sick. I’m pregnant, y’all! Morning sickness – or all-day sickness – has been kicking my butt for the last eight weeks, making the very thought of doing my hair or journalling about doing my hair…
Are you going to the 7th Annual Toronto Natural Hair & Beauty Show?
Hi all, It’s been a while. I’ve been around, but under the weather. I’m doing better, but postings may not be as frequent as I would like. I just got some information about the upcoming Toronto Natural Hair & Beauty Show. Here are some details from the show organizer: Actress, comedian, author, playwright and TV…
Side-eye of the week: Andre Walker
Last week or whenever, Oprah’s hairstylist Andre Walker made some interesting comments about maintaining kinky hair. According to Mr. Walker, “Kinky hair can have limited styling options; that’s the only hair type that I suggest altering with professional relaxing.” Pardon me? Sigh. Some people just need to keep quiet. As far as I’m concerned my…
Hair update!
Hey all, Hope you’ve all been enjoying the summer weather. I have… that’s probably the reason I haven’t been posting. Don’t be mad — summer in Canada is fleeting! We have to enjoy the few weeks that we get before we’re thrown back into snow, ice and minus temperatures! A quick update — I haven’t…
A year of twists – updated
Just a quick addition to Tuesday’s post. I was watching a Kimmaytube video and she suggested not straightening your hair until you reach your length goal. Hmm… Interesting suggestion and I think I’m going to take it. The last time I straightened my hair was in November 2010 and I was scared as ever that…
A year of twists?
I’m thinking of doing something different, y’all. A year of twists. Yep, I said it. And this is coming from someone who loves to play in her hair. I’m thinking of twisting my hair in small to medium two-strand twists from now until June 2012. The reason? I really, really, really want to reach MBL…
Everything comes north of the border in time: Shea Moisture
I’m sure that many of you know, but I just saw that you can get Shea Moisture products in Canada through Honey Fig. I’m quietly saying ‘yippee!’ Why quietly, you ask? Well, many of the products are going for $20 a pop. At Walgreens in the U.S. they are $9.99 USD. That is a $10…
Bad blogger & hair update
Hi all! I’ve been remiss. It’s been four weeks since my last post. It’s not that I’ve abandoned my blog – not at all – I’ve just been a busy, bad blogger. I guess I did need a break and my hair wasn’t a priority over the last little bit. I needed to get back…
Side-eye of the week: Psychology Today
If I cursed, I would curse. But since I don’t curse, I will just write a strongly-worded, yet short blog post. We always wonder why young Black women have no self-esteem. We wonder why we bleach our skin and wear blond wigs and blue contact lenses. Why we are so damned scared to stop relaxing…
