Product Review – Ren Moroccan Rose OTTO Ultra-Moisture Body Oil
In the past, I have provided a few product reviews: one on Fresh Pomegranate Conditioner and another on Virgin Land’s Extra Virgin Avocado Oil. Also, in a recent Natural-Hair Roundup I reviewed Matrix Biolage Deep Smoothing Conditioner along with a bunch of staples (at least in the natural-hair community) I never had a chance […]
Cherchez la Curl Random Roundup – Natural Hair Edition
January 19, 2011
I often think of random bits and bobs that I would like to blog about but end up forgoing because they are not sufficiently “substantial” to form an entire post. In the name of not letting these random tidbits go to waste, I’ve put them together in a Cherchez la Curl Random Roundup. Today’s is […]
Origins of Black Soap
January 10, 2011
I came across this feature in the NY Times Magazine on black soap. After reading the leading excerpt, I excitedly clicked on more thinking NY Times would take the “subversive” route and include Ose Dudu on their list. This seemed reasonable as black soap has achieved something of a cult status in the States; so […]
Going from Kinky Curly to Kinky Straight
October 31, 2010
Georgia Salon Provides Some Tips | DailyCandy I have a few misgivings about using the word kinky to describe my hair (on the interwebs, at least) as it has other suggestive meanings that causes Google to send me traffic from some not so savoury searches/websites. Oh well…Bring it on! I don’t live in NYC, but […]

Sealing 102 – Extra Virgin Avocado Oil
September 3, 2010
When I started wearing my natural hair out I, like many newbies, tried any and everything I read on natural hair blogs – co-washing; applying conditioner with an applicator brush to ensure every strand of my hair was soaked in conditioner from root to tip; dusting instead of outright trimming to ensure tidy ends while […]
Product Corner – Cleansing Conditioners
July 23, 2010
What’s all this talk of cleansing conditioners? I have pretty much stopped washing my hair with shampoos because Sulfates (Sodium Laurly/Laureth Sulfate being the most common) can be a little too effective at removing the build up of natural sebum and products from the hair shaft, leaving me with dry hair. Typically, dry hair implies tangled […]
