I think it's safe to say it's winter time for most of us, right?! Last winter I experienced how to manage a TWA during winter but now that I have a head full of hair - game on! I have seen many naturals talk about winter regimen vs. summer regimen. Although I personally believe in giving your hair just as much attention in the summer vs. winter there are a few ideas, tricks and suggestions I have that will aid in making sure your hair is tangle free, moisturized without a dry scalp! A lot of naturals love to protective style during the winter and if you are one of them - no biggie if that works best for you and your curls, coils and kinks... just please don't neglect your hair! Let's take the time & resources we have been given to ensure your hair isn't dry & brittle this winter. Calling all dry naturals with itchy scalps... tired curls, coils and kinks!

If you are anything like me when this time of the year rolls around you are left wondering where did the year go?! As I just passed my one year anniversary since my brave BC I started to reflect on the upcoming year and my hair goals. I am naturally a goal oriented individual and although I am so thankful for all that I was able to accomplish in 2015 I am creatively passionate about what may be in store for me and my curls in 2016! At the end of the day some goals I may accomplish and some may take a little longer than expected but that shouldn't stop us from believing for the very best and setting our minds high in abundance.  As I look back 2015 was a BIG hair adjustment for me and as 2016 rapidly approaches I am left with nothing but a consistent drip of ideas and goals for me, my curls and coils! Let the NEW hair journey begin as we ring 2016 in...

I know what you are thinking... is she really about to try a shampoo after creating her own DIY shampoo?! YES! If you haven't learned by now I don't like anything going to waste and since this was given to me I definitely wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to try this popular shampoo. Although I don't shampoo weekly I do think it is important to clarify your hair as often as your texture and scalp needs to be cleansed. There is a huge debate over to shampoo or not... how often... the debates go on and on. I like to try to keep it simple and suggest doing what's best for your curls, coils and kinks. Would I be disappointed by this shampoo or will it in the end live up to all the hype? I don't know about you but I was excited to see if this shampoo could hang with my DIY?!

I have FINALLY been able to review this co-wash from Shea Moisture! There are so many products I have been itching to get my hands on and this one was given to me at a hair event so I was beyond ecstatic to try this co-wash as I am huge fan of SM products. I have heard overall very great reviews about this famous co-wash but as everyone knows what works for one may or may not work for another so... I had to try it out for myself to see if my tight coils loved this co-wash or not. As of yet I haven't tried a co-wash that my hair didn't embrace so was this one going to join the ranks of the others or be gifted to someone else? If you have been as curious as I am about this co-wash and its effective ranking against my hair then keep reading. ;)

Are you trying to navigate through your natural hair journey but your mind is still stuck in relaxed hair mode? Is your natural hair not performing at its highest potential and you just can't put your finger as to why? Don't fret as a lot of the time it's a simple solution to our concerns and issues that we highly overlook sometimes. I am always learning every day when it comes to my natural hair and some days I have come to the conclusion that I am making my hair issues way more complicated than they actually are. I will highlight a few questionable habits that many naturals make while holding onto a relaxed girls mindset that will ultimately stunt your natural hair journey! As always I am not a licensed hair professional and these are my thoughts based upon experiences that I have encountered while on my own natural hair journey.
