This post was supposed to be posted last week before I went to South Beach — super fun trip which I will be blogging about just now. Until then, read up about what happens when you don’t dry your hair properly. Miami post to come. I meant to wash my hair on Sunday, but Mom…

Vacation hair: What to bring?
Hi all, Another crazy week, but things are settling down. For that, I’m extremely thankful and grateful to God! My sister and I are heading to Miami on Thursday to celebrate her birthday and I am going with my natural hair. I’ve never traveled anywhere really hot and humid with my hair out. Last year,…
Even hot, dry hair is an ‘afro’disiac – photos
Quick post — just pictures of my hair:
Side-eye of the week: American Apparel
This one is a bit old, but hey, I’ve been on blog hiatus. You know I love me some Clutch Magazine! They always have really interesting articles that get me thinking or ranting. Recently, I read an article about American Apparel, a store that I’ve never stepped foot in. Why? Their display windows leave a…
Life is too busy…
…hey all! I was hoping to get a post done this week, but life is kicking my butt (as it has been for the past couple of weeks). So forgive me for not posting as regularly as I have. I will get back on track soon, but for the next couple of weeks, if you…
Tips for preventing fairy knots
I’ve complained about fairy knots and how they wreak havoc on my hair. I just saw on Mane and Chic 10 Tips for Preventing One Strand Knots. Check them out if you’re having issues with these wicked little things. Personally, I’ve noticed that since moisturizing more frequently, co-washing less often and doing more protective styling,…
OT: Caribana is in the air – From the Soul art exhibition
If you know me, you know that there is one festival in Toronto that I love: Caribana (July 15 to August 2). It’s a part of my Caribbean culture and I love the music, the dancing, the steel pan — it’s the islands taking over Toronto for a couple of weeks. I’ve been impressed over…
Side-eye of the week: Slim Thug
A couple of months ago when John Mayer spoke smack about Black women, I — along with a number of women — abused him via our blogs, podcasts, Twitter rants and Facebook pages. So, when I read on Clutch Magazine the ignorance that Slim Thug was spewing I decided to dedicate my Side-eye of the…
Product review: Henna Sooq Moroccan Clay shampoo bar
A couple of weeks ago, I bought a couple of shampoo bars, along with some Yemeni henna and amla powder, from Henna Sooq. I normally use Country Rose Soap Co.’s liquid shampoo, but I hate only having one company to rely on. What happens if they stop making the shampoo? I’m out of luck with…
Are weaves in hair ads deceiving?
There’s a discussion happening over at Clutch Magazine asking if it is deceiving for models to wear weaves in hair advertisements. I personally think that it is deceiving. I know that Beyoncé is fully weaving a lacefront wig while she’s hawking L’Oreal hair products (you know, I already have major problems with L’Oreal). I know…
