Really. Is Nightline serious? Sigh. SMH. This was the topic that was discussed on Nightline last night. I did not watch it and I don’t think I missed anything. If you’d like to hear some tidbits, feel free to watch them here. OK, so for the past six months or more, I’ve been bombarded with…

Hairlista Healthy Ends Challenge – final update
As many of you know, I joined the Hairlista Healthy Ends Challenge in October 2009. The goal was to strengthen my ends and retain length. Here’s what I did over the last six months: kinky twists wigs protective styling of my own hair I kinda fell off during the last few weeks just because the…

Product review: Kimble Ginger Cream conditioner
When I went to New York last year (it feels just like yesterday!), I was on a mission to find some Kimble Hair products. I wanted to get their Hair Butter, Bounce Back Curl Revitalizer and the Ginger Cream conditioner. When I walked into Target, I really did expect to come out with arms full…

Going organic and natural
I’ve been toying with the idea of going organic and natural with all of my hair and body care products. Why? Well, I’ve been going to a naturopathic doctor for a few weeks now and I’m so surprised about how synthetics products can be so detrimental to your health. I’ve heard a number of hair…
The Accidental Natural on the go
Hi all, This week, posting will be very light. I’m going away for a few days and I may not have the opportunity or the Internet connection to post while I’m gone. We’ll see, we’ll see. I’m very excited — I’m heading to Western Canada (Edmonton and Vancouver) for work and I’ve never gone to…
Support Young Artists for Haiti
First the Americans did it by remaking We Are the World. I won’t knock it because it’s for a good cause, but T-Pain, Akon and Weezy? Really? Anyhoo, Canadian artists have remade K’Naan’s single Wavin’ Flag to raise money to support relief efforts in Haiti. The track features Nelly Furtado, Kardinal Offishall, Drake, Fefe Dobson,…
Getting the goods at health food stores
On the weekend, my mother and I were hanging out. She got her hair done at the hairdresser, while I sat and watched. The ladies were like, “aren’t you going to get your hair done?” I felt my big, bushy flat twist-out ‘fro and said, “no.” I love the vibe at the salon, but I’m…
Getting kinky again ;)
So, I’ve been wearing Korina for a good week and I can’t wait until tomorrow when I untwist my flat twists and rock a big puffy afro. It’s so strange — for a good 20 years, I couldn’t imagine my life with my own natural hair. A year and some of being natural and I…
