I have had disastrous experiences with straightening. Though, I have let go of the fear to straighten, when my hair stayed straight for over a week, I did begin to get the jitters. Of course the last thing any natural wants is to lose their curl definition or pattern and suffer heat damage from a straightening [...]

These were my favorite looks this summer. You’ve seen some before, but I don’t think I published them all. I kept it simple this Summer, not a lot of changes. For the most part, my hair was either twisted or in a bun, but you can see the few times I changed things up here. [...]

It’s been nearly a year since I first mentioned my interest in a hair steamer. The idea of spending over a hundred dollars on the item and potentially not use it had me postpone the purchase, particularly after my hair cut. Nearly a year later, my hair is obvously longer and I felt as though [...]

This is my hair a few days ago. I did a set of flat twists. I wanted to share with you. For ladies with short hair, I find that setting the flat twists this way helps with volume and to eliminate lines in my hair. It also helps my hair hang better. I did the [...]
