On Natural Hair, Detangling and Bantu Knots
October 21, 2012
Source – Garance Doré In spite of the naming of this blog I hardly blog about Natural Hair anymore. There are a million and one fantastic YouTube videos and websites providing information on the who/what/where/when/how of Natural Hair, and considering I’m not one to post photos of myself online there really isn’t much of a […]
Braided Updo for Natural Hair
August 3, 2012
Happy Friday! I am one of the laziest people in the Natural Hair World: I’ve gone through the various phases of a newbie natural (style experimentation, obssesive hair forum/blog reading and YouTube video watching, product-junkieism) and settled into a natural-haired version of my formerly relaxed-hair self: i.e. I’m very low maintenance. I’ve tried roller sets […]
Maki Oh + Garance Dore
April 7, 2012
Ok, so I was je je’lly minding my business, taking a break from “learning how to be British” (a story for another day) when I decided to pop over to the website of my favourite French blogger, Garance Doré (who is part Moroccan, and thus I confer honorary Curly Africana status) and what is the […]
The Spider King’s Daughter
March 29, 2012
Forest House was filled with people like these girls: a little money, a lot of noise The Spider King’s Daughter (Faber & Faber) is the first book I’ve barreled through in a relatively short period of time (about 3 days). Nowadays, I usually take forever and a day to finish books because the only free […]
Hold On
March 23, 2012
Bless my heart, bless my soul. Didn’t think I’d make it to 22 years old. There must be someone up above, saying come Brittany, you gotta come on up. You got to hold on. I’ve been meaning to put up a post on Alabama Shakes forever and a day now. I heard Hold On on […]

Happy Sunday! Spring, French Pop & Natural Hair
February 19, 2012
It’s so sunny outside! I will forever maintain that there is nothing better than a sunny day in London. It feels like any and everything good can happen. My flat is filled with the fragrance of the white roses my parents got me for my birthday (all the way from Nigeria! I love my Ma […]
For Your Consideration: Adepero Oduye
December 28, 2011
In January, I put up a Curly Africana post on Adepero Oduye, discussing the possibility that she could become the second African woman (after Charlize Theron) to be nominated for an Oscar for her role in the film Pariah. (I don’t like to toot my own horn, but even though I hadn’t seen the film […]
Aissa Maiga + Chloe = Happy Friday
October 14, 2011
For me it’s been a long week. A draining week: high highs and low lows. I’m savouring my weekend as one would the first taste of food after a famine. In the absence of a magic wand or a machine capable of straddling the space-time continuum so as to turn the coming Monday into a […]
