One year ago this month I began my daunting yet exciting natural hair journey... what a fabulous journey it has been! I didn't really know what to think as my flowing locks hit the floor that Big Chop day but one thing was very clear there was no turning back now. I am thrilled to report an entire year later I am loving my new natural hair & it was blindly one of the best decisions I have ever made. I not only chose to embrace my natural texture but decided to take the time to get better acquainted with my curls while having fun and experimenting. Our journeys in life are half what has been given to us and half what we choose to do with the rest of it - so I made an decision to enjoy my natural hair journey with a good attitude! I didn't blog very early on in my natural hair journey but nevertheless didn't stop me from taking pictures of my curls that were making their presence known. Would you join me as I stroll through memory lane?! Presenting my curls' former years.... ;)

Are you interested at all in killing 3 birds with one stone?! I know I am and I think through trial and error mixed with some research I have found a simple way to do so effectively especially during these harsh winter months. When I began my natural hair journey who knew that I would learn so much more than just hair related information - it would open an entirely new world for me... ingredients! Although I am very familiar with the old saying "What we put into our bodies will come out" knowing and doing are two different things. After learning a host of benefits about the ingredients in most natural hair products; little did I know how interchangeable these ingredients were. As always these are my opinions based upon my research and personal experience; always if you are under doctor's care for a unique reason do your research for your particular condition and consult your doctor before use. What ingredients exactly? - I thought you'd never ask!

Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner ~ Product Review!

Well, I am sure you are aware by now that I absolutely love the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil line or should I say my hair does! I really had no real intentions on trying this conditioner initially but I was given this product at a natural hair event and instantly this product rose to the top of my must try product list. I have heard reviews that SM conditioners aren't dripping with enough slip so I thought this would be the perfect time to test that theory out for myself. My hair not only craves love and attention but thrives best with conditioners with tons of slip. Would this conditioner just slip through the cracks or surprise me as powerhouse to handle my delicate tresses?

PR time! I have yet another product review to share with all my naturals. I know you are thinking wow & it's not a Shea Moisture product! (lol) I was given this product at a natural hair event and was super excited to tackle yet another product I have been curious about. Although this particular masque by EBW's I haven't personally heard much buzz about it was on my virtual list of hair products to try. As some of you are probably aware I fell in love with another masque from this line EDEN Bodyworks Jojoba Monoi Deep Conditioner; so maybe my hair will love this masque too. As always this product review is based upon results with my tightly curled texture of hair - and what works for one may or may not work for another!  Let's dive right in...

Imagine my surprise when I went to the wonderful Curlfriends hair event hosted by Jenell B.Stewart and this was one of the many products I received! When you think that you have tried all the SM hair masques and then you are presented with yet another masque to try it's such a wonderful treat!  I personally don't suffer from hair breakage but my hair definitely is frizz prone & I always strive to strengthen my hair. If you want to see how my hair performed with this masque by SM then definitely keep reading!

Let's be honest oils, creams, rich butters, co-washes, doesn't even began to scratch the surface of what the natural hair life is all about. I didn't even know I was about that life until I was faced with my natural hair again. I had a choice to either embrace it or hide. Although I love exposing my natural curls and coils now... it's not labeled a natural hair journey for nothing!  Not only did I transform from being hooked on relaxers but I decided to embrace returning natural and take everyone along with me as I do so.  What does it mean to be about this natural hair life so many of us rave about & I know some of you are wondering is it for you?  All opinions are based on my personal natural hair journey & experiences.

Hey natural hair money savers! That's right... all products listed below are $10 and under w/ tax! I don't know about you but I love saving money & I know if you are reading this then you desire to have fab hair without breaking the bank. Good news is it can easily be done & I will share with you my favorite effective natural hair products for a naturalista on a budget. I have learned that cheap doesn't always equal incompetent products. I don't think there is anything wrong with naturals who have those few pricey products (guilty!) however majority of my products are super affordable and I know a lot of people are on super saving money mode. As always these products are based upon my natural texture hair and what works for one may not work for another; although these products are so affordable if they happen to not work for you - bless someone else by passing the product along.  I hope by me doing my research it will help you decide which products to try!
