5 Steps for the Perfect Wash & Go
As many of you out there know, everyday I wear my fro out and I love the feeling of it catching a little Summer time breeze (isn’t that the best!). Since I started growing out my hair, I’ve only had one style…the wash and go. To me, it’s the perfect method to achieve a textured…

A New Beginning
Recently, I’ve been increasingly frustrated with my hair and felt like I needed a new beginning of sorts. Plus, it’s been getting hot and humid in NYC so I bit the bullet and decided to do a little chop! As you might remember, I actually got a trim about two months ago but it didn’t…

Product Review: Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding
Way back in the day, Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding was one of the first products I tried when I started growing out my fro. It’s promises elongated and defined coils for natural curls and fros so I thought it would be a good fit. Ultimately, I loved the look of my hair when I used…

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!).

Product Review: Anita Grant Organic Sapote and Coconut Pomade
Disclosure: Product was provided for review courtesy of Anita Grant. Packaging: In my previous review of Anita Grant’s Pure Shave Oil for Men, I said how much I liked Anita Grant’s branding so I won’t go much into that here. It’s clean and simple and pretty gender neutral if that’s important to you. The one…

Styling with Hair Butter
I hate that I have to apply four different products to my hair to get a moisturized, curly fro so today I tried something a little different to style the fro…I only used a leave in conditioner and hair butter. That’s it! As more and more products pile in my bathroom I think more and…
