Good morning, folks! Just a quick post before I start working today. Over the past six weeks since I twisted my hair, I’ve learned two things… or maybe I should say that I re-learned two things about my scalp because I’m sure that I already knew this. Here they are: I must wash my scalp with…

Urban Sista in Gotham: Day 2 – In search of Rihanna
Not Rihanna the singer, Rihanna the wig. If you’ve followed my blog, you would have read that I was planning to purchase Shake-N-Go FreeTress Equal Wig Rihanna during my trip to NYC. After my shopping on Wednesday, I was already pretty satisfied. I had planned to help my cousin with Thanksgiving dinner, while the mens…
Hair Politics: Hair at work – Part 2
*Ed. note: Sorry for the super long post — I had a lot to say :)* I’ve been wearing my hair naturally at work for about a year and three months. This isn’t the first time I’ve been natural — about seven years ago, I chopped it all off. At that point, I got mad…
Urban Sista in Gotham – Day 1
I was hoping to sleep in on Wednesday morning – I was tuckered out, for real. The week and a half before were extra busy, I had been coming down with the sniffles every week and my back was still not 100%… but, I was going to be in New York City! Yay! The last…
Product review: Organic Root Stimulator Herbal Cleanse Dry Shampoo
During my trip to New York City, my loving husband gave me his cold. My cousin and his girlfriend took us to Times Square on Friday night and I got a serious chill — it was cold as backside — compounding my misery. I began hacking, which brought on hiccuping and a general feeling of…
The wash-n-go mishap of ’09
As we count down the weeks until 2010, I am thinking of all the successes and failures of the past year. On the Saturday of Labour Day weekend, I decided to try a wash-n-go. Now, I’ve always been wary of the wash-n-go. Why? Well, I’m just not sure how my hair will look. I’ve seen…
Empire State of Mind
While I’m not down with Jay-Z (folks, some of the rumours online have me scratching my head and saying, ‘for real, for real?’), I am getting into an Empire State of Mind! Next week, I’ll be in New York City – The Hubby and I are visiting family for American Thanksgiving and I’m going to…
Missing my hair
I knew this was going to happen. I was counting down the days until I got my hair twisted in my first protective style of the fall/winter season… but now, I’m totally missing my hair. If I want my hair to stay healthy and strong during the cold months, I know that I have to…
Upcoming hair events happening in Toronto!
One of the things I truly enjoy about living in the Greater Toronto Area are all the interesting events that you can get involved in. I grew up in Montreal, which is a very different beast. I hope that things have changed in that city… but I digress. Today, I wanted to let you know…
Hair updates
Today, I’m giving you a quick update on my hair and scalp in its first protective style of the season. As you know, if you’ve been reading, I twisted my hair on October 31 — about two weeks ago. My goal is to wash every two weeks with my Country Rose Soap Co.’s natural liquid…
