So, if you want to keep up with me and you don’t see me on the blog, visit me at: Facebook (www.facebook.com/TheAccidentalNatural) Twitter (www.twitter.com/urbansista) Have a great…

Product review: Head & Shoulders Classic Clean conditioner
It has been an ongoing discussion on this blog that I just can’t get my scalp under control. From the time I started blogging, I had been fighting with it – for a number of reasons. The first being, I’m allergic to coconut and coconut-based ingredients are present in all commercial shampoos. They are listed…
Side eye of the week: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil relaxer commercial
I’m sorry, I don’t normally hate on relaxers, but this commercial warranted the side-eye. As far as I know, there is no relaxer on the face of God’s green earth that will make your hair stronger or stop it from breaking. Really, are you serious? Relaxer that will stop your hair from breaking? Where was…
OT: BP photo shoot for Live it. Wear it.
I am a part of a community services organization named Black Pearls Community Services Inc. Late last year, we joined together with Live it. Wear it. (www.liwi68.com) for a photo shoot that highlighted a number of people in Toronto’s Black community. A couple of us were available to participate. Check out our banner photo: Not…
OT: Where’s my professional man!?!
This blog post started off as a short, tongue in cheek rant about women who are only interested in a man with a white collar career… but it’s taken on a life of its own. The story starts a couple of weekends ago. A friend and I were having a conversation about relationships and how…
Natural reporter on Global Calgary!
I live in Canada’s largest city, so I expected to see a natural reporter on a Toronto news station. The one reporter/host that was close to natural has ended up wearing weaves (and not so good ones, I must say) for her daily lifestyle program. That was quite disappointing, but who knows what her reasoning was….

April is HoneyFig’s customer appreciation month. Yay for customers ’cause that means a discount! Here’s the email that I received: April is our customer appreciation month. We plan, preen and prepare our way, into this wonderful month, to welcome the true meaning of what makes HoneyFig so special… you. As a way of saying thanks,…
Hair pictures and more!
I never liked wearing my hair in just two strand twists. I just didn’t think it looked good on me and it made me sad because I wanted to wear my hair in this protective style for at least a week before doing a twist out. My scalp is another issue and another post because…
I’m winning! Kinky Curly Knot Today
Yes, this post title is a played out Char.lie She.en reference, but I am winning… well, at least I won a bottle of Kinky Curly Knot Today from a blog giveaway! Yay me! This is how it went down: a couple of weeks ago, I entered a giveaway at justtryingtogetitright.wordpress.com. I NEVER win anything… well,…
Coco & Creme: Do Mixed Chicks Hair Care Products Make Light Seem Right?
Interesting blog post over at Coco & Creme. Now, I don’t know if I totally agree with the writer, but I do have my issues with Mixed Chicks — especially after the whole #teamlightskin thing a couple of months ago. Here’s a clip from the article: Our various skin shades and hair textures are still used as…
