I’ve been trying different products looking for the perfect co-wash conditioner. I believe that I found that with the Tresemmé Healthy Volume conditioner — which is my ride-or-die conditioner. I bought Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship at the same time I bought the Tresemmé conditioner and decided to try it out before I put my twists…

BP Uncensored: Real Beauty
I’m part of a great community service group, Black Pearls Community Services, Inc. It’s a group of Black women who are working to help other Black women and girls build self-esteem and further their education in the Greater Toronto Area. Next month, the group is putting on BP Uncensored: Real Beauty. Peep what it’s about:…
Accidental Natural TV? My braid regimen
On Sunday, I was bored. The Hubby was watching football and basketball and I was idle — so I made a video. I’ve realized that I’m long-winded, but my video is good… at least that’s what I think. If you want, you can watch all nine minutes and 40 seconds of me talking about what…
Winter protective style #1: Braids
Yesterday, I finally got my hair braided as part of the Healthy Ends Challenge and as a winter protective style. As the weather’s been getting colder waiting until the end of the month to get my hair braided felt like forever and a day. Normally, I would let my braider wash and moisturize my hair,…
Bye-bye curls, coils and kinks!
Tomorrow, I’m going into braids as my winter protective style. So, my hair and I will be separated for at least a few months. Sniff. I know it’s for the best, but I will miss every kink, coil and nap. I will miss playing with my curls in meetings or when I’m trying to think…
Moisturize your situation – Part 3
Sorry folks! I was going to update yesterday — but I am starting to come down with something and I really didn’t feel like working. Nevertheless, I have been thinking about what moisturizers I would like to buy and try. I’m finally getting my braids put in this weekend, so these purchases, if they are…
Moisturize your situation – Part 2
Yesterday, I shared my favourite moisturizers with you. Today, I’m going to highlight some of the products that many online naturalistas have raved about. Now, I don’t use these products and I don’t know how well they work, but if you’re a natural newbie and you’re looking for some help in the moisturizer area, these…
I have scalp issues. Sniff.
I’ve always had scalp problems. When my hair was relaxed, most of my issues were from washing my hair with shampoos with coconut-based ingredients. I no longer use commercial shampoos, so I’ve alleviated that problem. Unfortunately, this week, my scalp is acting like a fool. Granted, I normally wash it twice a week, but as…
Good film, that Good Hair
This weekend, the Hubby and I rolled down the 401 to the AMC to see Good Hair. I wanted to leave early because of the crowds that would be at the theatre. I mean, the amount of buzz this movie was getting meant that there would be scores of Black people milling about and I…
Good Hair opens today in Toronto!
I know many of us have been patiently waiting for Chris Rock’s docu-comedy Good Hair to open in Toronto. Well, it opens today on three screens in the city. (Three screens? Chupse! Hopefully, they’ll extend it when they see the turnout.) Sorry ladies from other parts of Canada — I don’t have any information for…
