Just because my hair was looking particularly cute today and I don’t have a dang thing to do this cold January night, I’ve decided to post some pictures of my ‘do. You’ve seen this one before — I just added some hair jewellery. The same jewellery that I wore on Tuesday when I was trying…

Product review: Giovanni Direct Leave-in Conditioner, Weightless Moisture
While I was in New York, I was able to get my hands on Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner, Weightless Moisture. I had been searching for a good leave-in conditioner. I had been using Infusium 23 Frizzology and I HATED it. Why? It didn’t do anything. I would spray and spray and spray and still –…
When a good hair ‘do goes bad… – Part 2
Good morning, y’all! Yesterday, I was in a tizzy trying to figure out what the heck to do with my hair. I had rocked a cute twisted/flat twisted updo for about a week and the style had reached its limit. I was a hot, fuzzy mess. Some folks here and on Facebook thought I should…
Doing the ‘do: Twist out
Hey all! I haven’t been doing twist outs since I had my kinky twists put in in October. Last week, I wore my accidental protective style: two strand twists put into bantu knots and worn curly. On Friday evening, I decided to unravel my twists. Boy, lemme tell you! My hair looked HAWT! And it’s…

Hope all of you had a great Christmas! For Boxing Day, I’m taking it easy, watching a movie with the Hubby, meeting up with some friends, spending time with family and finally, preparing to have some friends and family over tomorrow. So, in the midst of all of this, I’ve decided to spend a few…

*Ed. note: Sorry for the super long post — I had a lot to say :)* I’ve been wearing my hair naturally at work for about a year and three months. This isn’t the first time I’ve been natural — about seven years ago, I chopped it all off. At that point, I got mad…
The wash-n-go mishap of ’09
As we count down the weeks until 2010, I am thinking of all the successes and failures of the past year. On the Saturday of Labour Day weekend, I decided to try a wash-n-go. Now, I’ve always been wary of the wash-n-go. Why? Well, I’m just not sure how my hair will look. I’ve seen…
Empire State of Mind
While I’m not down with Jay-Z (folks, some of the rumours online have me scratching my head and saying, ‘for real, for real?’), I am getting into an Empire State of Mind! Next week, I’ll be in New York City – The Hubby and I are visiting family for American Thanksgiving and I’m going to…
Upcoming hair events happening in Toronto!
One of the things I truly enjoy about living in the Greater Toronto Area are all the interesting events that you can get involved in. I grew up in Montreal, which is a very different beast. I hope that things have changed in that city… but I digress. Today, I wanted to let you know…
Product review: Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship conditioner
I’ve been trying different products looking for the perfect co-wash conditioner. I believe that I found that with the Tresemmé Healthy Volume conditioner — which is my ride-or-die conditioner. I bought Herbal Essences Long-Term Relationship at the same time I bought the Tresemmé conditioner and decided to try it out before I put my twists…
