I was going to do this in September for my second nappyversary, but I’m inspired. Over the past year, I haven’t always been able to see my hair growth. So, sometimes I’ve felt a little discouraged. But I turned a corner this spring — after wearing protective/low maintenance styles — and my hair is growing steadily….

Summer, summer, summer hair!
This summer has been busy — I can’t lie. So, my poor little blog has had to take a back seat to all the other things that have been going on. I’m sure in August or September things will calm down and I’ll be back to blogging more regularly. Not only has this summer been…
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
Hi all, I’m still on my blog hiatus! But I had to jump online and let you know about the dangers of a parched ‘fro. My hair adventure started last weekend. I went to Hartford, CT to visit my family and it was hot. I mean real hot, but I didn’t bring any shampoo or…
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…
Wash-n-go 2010: Pictures
Earlier this week, I decided to do a wash-n-go — although my first experience wasn’t a good one. Now, I’ve heard there are easier ways to do a wash-n-go (wash, condition, shake hair and go), I heard about another method where you comb a styling product through your hair and let it dry. A little…
The accidental online henna purchase
I’m sitting here, sick as a dog, with no voice and no one to keep me company. The Hubby is at work and I just signed off from work because my head is hurting from this evil cold that I’m dealing with. Before I go to sleep, I wanted to tell you about my accidental…
Product review: Colora Henna
Last week, I decided that I was going to use henna for the first time — Colora Henna, specifically. I’ve always wanted to try it, but the time commitment was especially painful to me. I don’t have six hours on a Saturday to wait for henna to do its magic. On Friday, I did have…
Henna, henna, henna day!!
Today is henna day, folks and I’m very excited. As I told you a few days ago, I’ve never tried henna because it very time consuming and my weekends are pretty busy. Now that I’m working from home, I can do things like a henna treatment and leave it on for the entire workday. The…
Hair purgatory: the dreaded in-between phase
I cut all my relaxed ends off in September 2008 and I’ve been working toward having a head full of thick, glorious healthy kinks and coils. Now, one year and seven months into this natural hair journey and I’ve reached the dreaded in-between phase. My hair is no longer short enough for the cute styles…
