Hi all, First of all, there isn’t much for me to update you on because my hair is still in the kinky curly twists. I’m going to a gala event on Saturday, so I’ll be re-curling the twists and, hopefully, taking some pictures of me looking dolled up and cute. In December, just before my…

Follow me on my journey! The Accidental Natural, I write about life, decor, kids, and, of course, my hair, in all of its states.
Hair boredom
I’ve been bored with my hair. That’s why I haven’t been posting as regularly as I once did. I’m not doing very much with it. Since it’s gotten longer, I’ve been doing two-strand twists. Now that my scalp has been behaving (and it has been acting beautifully), I haven’t needed to wash it any more…
Curly girl on CBC Toronto: Arisa Cox
I was just watching the 5 o’clock news on CBC and I realized that Arisa Cox is the network’s entertainment reporter. Check her bio here. Her hair is phenomenally wonderful! Big and natural as it wants to be. Arisa’s been on TV for a while, so it’s not like I haven’t seen her before, I just…
OT: Dead Prez – The Beauty Within
Hi all, Sorry for the sporadic posts! I’ve been busy and I’m now fighting a cold. To keep you company while I’m recuperating, here’s a song from Dead Prez. It’s nice to hear someone say something nice about natural girls. I’ll be back later this week with some posts!
Updates & my spring regimen…
When I first went natural, I began buying up products… lots of products just because I wanted to figure out what works for my hair. So, as soon as someone online said “XYZ product was great!” I was on it. Now, I have a couple of half-full bottles and jars of products that I didn’t…

Product review: Head & Shoulders Classic Clean conditioner
It has been an ongoing discussion on this blog that I just can’t get my scalp under control. From the time I started blogging, I had been fighting with it – for a number of reasons. The first being, I’m allergic to coconut and coconut-based ingredients are present in all commercial shampoos. They are listed…
Side eye of the week: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil relaxer commercial
I’m sorry, I don’t normally hate on relaxers, but this commercial warranted the side-eye. As far as I know, there is no relaxer on the face of God’s green earth that will make your hair stronger or stop it from breaking. Really, are you serious? Relaxer that will stop your hair from breaking? Where was…
OT: BP photo shoot for Live it. Wear it.
I am a part of a community services organization named Black Pearls Community Services Inc. Late last year, we joined together with Live it. Wear it. (www.liwi68.com) for a photo shoot that highlighted a number of people in Toronto’s Black community. A couple of us were available to participate. Check out our banner photo: Not…
OT: Where’s my professional man!?!
This blog post started off as a short, tongue in cheek rant about women who are only interested in a man with a white collar career… but it’s taken on a life of its own. The story starts a couple of weekends ago. A friend and I were having a conversation about relationships and how…
