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…

My favourite products and what I’ve learned over the years…
If you’ve read my blog regularly, you would know that I was a bit of a product junkie at the beginning of my natural hair journey. Some of it was necessary – how am I going to know what I like and don’t like if I don’t try products? But then it turned into a…
A wholesale pain in the *bleep* – Part 2
So, I was waiting patiently since October 27 for the products that I ordered from Essential Wholesale. After filling out 15 pages of paperwork for the company and Health Canada, I faxed everything in and sent an email asking for them to let me know if they received the information on November 2. I mean,…
A wholesale pain in the *bleep*
I was extra excited about ordering my products from Essential Wholesale. I had been researching for weeks – well, at least from the evening I heard about the company. I was so excited! I was going to try a number of things at drastically low prices! I mean, as much as I enjoy some commercially…
My regimen: Fall/Winter 2010
Here’s another update on my regimen for fall/winter 2010. Actually, I think my regimen is more to the point – I’ve taken off my product junkie crown and that is totally streamlining the products I’m using. But I will be swapping out some products for the season just because of the frigid Canadian winter. (It’s…
Need deep conditioning help!
Last week, I took my twists out and I wanted to pamper my hair with a nice deep conditioning treatment before I styled. But guess what? I had run out. Gasp! I had been using QP Elasta’s DPR-11 or Ms. Key’s 10 en 1. Thankfully, great bloggers and commenters have shared a secret with me:…
My regimen: Spring/Summer 2010
Hi all! It’s about that time again — updating my regimen. The biggest thing that you’ll notice is that I’ve cut out a lot of products. Let me break down the regimen for you as it stands right now: Shampoo (weekly) – OK, I’ve realized, begrudgingly, that I need to use shampoo. I wish I…
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…
DIY: Brown sugar scalp scrub
As you know, my scalp can be evil. It will flake out for no good reason or it will behave. Why it does what it does is a mystery to me. Too much shampoo, flakes. Too much co-washing, build-up. Too little shampoo, build-up. Too little co-washing, flakes. Sigh. Understanding the minds of men is easier…
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…
