Just a quick addition to Tuesday’s post. I was watching a Kimmaytube video and she suggested not straightening your hair until you reach your length goal. Hmm… Interesting suggestion and I think I’m going to take it. The last time I straightened my hair was in November 2010 and I was scared as ever that…

A year of twists?
I’m thinking of doing something different, y’all. A year of twists. Yep, I said it. And this is coming from someone who loves to play in her hair. I’m thinking of twisting my hair in small to medium two-strand twists from now until June 2012. The reason? I really, really, really want to reach MBL…
Everything comes north of the border in time: Shea Moisture
I’m sure that many of you know, but I just saw that you can get Shea Moisture products in Canada through Honey Fig. I’m quietly saying ‘yippee!’ Why quietly, you ask? Well, many of the products are going for $20 a pop. At Walgreens in the U.S. they are $9.99 USD. That is a $10…
Bad blogger & hair update
Hi all! I’ve been remiss. It’s been four weeks since my last post. It’s not that I’ve abandoned my blog – not at all – I’ve just been a busy, bad blogger. I guess I did need a break and my hair wasn’t a priority over the last little bit. I needed to get back…
Side-eye of the week: Psychology Today
If I cursed, I would curse. But since I don’t curse, I will just write a strongly-worded, yet short blog post. We always wonder why young Black women have no self-esteem. We wonder why we bleach our skin and wear blond wigs and blue contact lenses. Why we are so damned scared to stop relaxing…
Vacay hair – let’s do this again…
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…
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…
