I took a while to give my views on color treated and relaxed hair because I was not sure how my hair would end up reacting to it, now that I am seriously paying attention to its health. After five months of having my highlights in, however, I am now more confident that healthy, growing [...]

A few months ago I started taking tennis lessons. Yesterday, they told me that I’ve been using the wrong sized racket (yes, I internally rolled my eyes thinking ‘gee, now you tell me’). So my instructor let me use one of his rackets. Needless to say I went from “I suck at tennis” to “oh [...]

Earlier this month, I decided to stop my unofficial transition to natural hair. I also no longer wanted to be texlaxed. At this point in my life, I want bone straight hair without needing to blow dry and flat iron every week (I want to roller-set again). Initially, I considered doing a “virgin” relaxer treatment [...]

My last relaxer was October 17, 2012 and I can’t believe it’s been 21 weeks already. This is the longest I’ve ever stretched my relaxer. My previous record was 16 weeks. After my last relaxer, I decided that I would stretch as long as possible until I either unofficially transitioned to natural hair or I [...]

  My stylist Reniece just posted a video showcasing the hair journey of a few of her clients, including yours truly. The video also features an illustrative curl pattern chart. Determining your curl pattern is helpful when selecting the products and styling techniques work best to achieve your desired hair style.       The [...]

  Before beginning my hair journey, I once did an eight month stretch because I had intended to go back natural but then changed my mind midway. I do not remember having excessive breakage then but my hair was much cut in a bob so it was much shorter and there was not as much [...]

We all know that healthy hair starts with a healthy diet. Here’s a great chart I found on LaurenConrad.com (I love that site for fashion tips) to remind us of the top foods for healthy hair. I personally love eggs and typically eat 3 eggs everyday (I remove 2 of the yolks). What are you [...]
