A Little Spring Cleaning
Last week I headed to my go to spot, Afrigenix, for a quick trim cut because the fro was starting to get a little too big and the ends were looking a little, well…ragged. Luckily, I easily got to book an appointment (which is always a plus for Afrigenix) with my favorite stylist, Asatta. The…

The Duck & Swipe
I had a great time with friends this weekend which included a delicious (and hearty) meal at Spring, a new natural vegetarian friendly restaurant on the UWS (side note: be sure to try out the plum cacao baby back ribs appetizer…very interesting!). Afterwards, drinks were had and there was plenty of dancing. A good time…

A Detangling Nightmare
I’m so frustrated y’all. This past weekend I shampooed and then started to detangle. This time, and this has been happening a lot lately, my Denman laughed at me. I’m talking full on, gut-jiggling chortle. First, the pad slipped out of the brush and went flying around the bathroom. Once I reassembled (mind you, I was…

Tis the Season!

Chopped!
I cut my hair! I still have plenty but you might know that lately I haven’t really been feeling my hair all that much. It was getting too hard to deal with and I felt like I needed to switch it up a bit. Plus, my hair does this weird thing (which apparently isn’t all…

Fro in the City: Sinful Saturday!
This past Saturday night, my friends and I enjoyed what can only be described as Sinful Saturday. There were plenty of spirits and good time had by all. As far as fro maintenance goes, I washed in the morning with Kinky Curly Come Clean, used Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Moisturizing Conditioner and then raked in…

Fro in the City: Friday Night!
I went out for a friend’s birthday dinner Friday night and basically used my everyday routine. I co-washed with Tresemme Naturals and raked in some pink EcoStyler gel and this is how it looked: Nothing out of the ordinary but the fro is starting to get a bit too big for me. Monday I’m going…

Donna Marie vs. the USPS
A few months ago, I was trying to curb my product junkie-ism and avoid buying any new products all together.
