February's Curlkit Un-Boxing

Image
February's Curlkit There are lots of subscription boxes out there. Much more than I even thought existed. The two with the biggest buzz is Curlkit and Curlbox. I have been stalking their social media to figure out which one to give a try. After much deliberation I chose Curlkit and I am happy I did. I found a coupon online so I paid $18 instead of $20. There were lots of delays in the shipment of the Curlkits but the owner Heather Cummings kept us updated. I appreciated that. While I waited patiently for my kit I looked at what the February's Culbox looked like and it was a real joke. A box full of Pantene products that I could get down the street. Man, I would have been PISSED!!! On the 21st I finally got my Curlkit and leaped for joy. No Pantene. Lol! Below is a picture of my goodies. It felt like Christmas. Hehe! There weren't anything in this box that I have used before. Everything was new to me. That should be the purpose of these boxes. Give

Natural Hair is Fly!!

Natural Hair is FLY!! Natural hair is FLY! But did I need to say it? We naturalistas know this, those considering to go natural knows this, 'most' men knows this, even permed haired and caucasian girls know it. Shoot, EVERYBODY knows this. Haha! 8 out of 10 times when we see a natural hair sister we turn our heads. Whether she is rocking an Afro, roll tuck and pin, braid out, cornrows or whatever; she is NOTICED. Doesn't it feel good? Being complimented on your Afro feels good because you know you did nothing to achieve it but wake up in the morning. And the good ole question every natural sista have been asked: 'how do you get your hair like that?' No combing or styling and our Natural Hair's Still FLY! Versatility One thing about natural hair that never cease to amaze me is how versatile it is. On no two days does my hair look exactly the same. Every puff is different in length or size on any given day. The same for roll tuck and pins, twist out

I am happy I got the chance to try these products because I heard good things about them. I looked at their ingredients and instantly got excited. I think you will too.

Natural Hair Care: Shampooing Natural Hair

Shampooing Natural Hair When you tell natural hair girls to shampoo their hair; they'll grab their bags and run for the hills. Most girls have a No-Poo regimen and remove shampoo from their life all together. In my option, we need shampoo or something of that sorts (that is not a conditioner) to effectively clean our hair and scalps of dirt and product buildup. Its a fact that shampoos can be drying to our Natural Hair. However that doesn't mean you should eliminate shampooing all together. If you had a cup of tea and it taste bad, do you completely stop drinking tea? No, you go and get a different cup. Notice, if you tried a conditioner and it was crap you run right back to the store and try something else. Why can't we do the same with shampoo? Just try and try until you find one that's best for you. For me personally, I have eczema and washing with a conditioner 100% all the time will result in flaky scalp or white residue. I know I am not the only natural gi
