Accidental Natural

I've been MIA for almost a year it looks like. Life picked me up and body slammed me into 2016 so I'm just recovering.  During that time it appears my hair decided to low key transition to natural hair. How did this happen? Well mainly 2 things

1. I don't trust anybody else apart from my former stylist (several states away) to understand this texlaxing thing. and

2. I dont trust myself to relax my own hair. Coz I don't have the patience but I'm also a perfectionist and I know the back of my hair will get no love so .... yeah

Here I am...12 MONTHS post relaxer.




It hasn't been that bad surprisingly! I have to wash in sections and it gets dry very very easily and detangling is a b/£÷&% but other than that...

Week 24. The curls are showing

I've got a nice poof going. Now if I could just figure out how to style it better. 


The worst thing about my new curls is the shrinkage. The best thing (and I say this reluctantly) is the shrinkage. Only because it makes me happy to straighten. 

 I mean...look at that length. Armpit length has come and is going. I fully expect bra strap by December. It only took 3 years. *side eyeing everybody who did it in less.*

What are you doing with your hair in 2016? I'll be here...low key transitioning.

Ok. Before I start, I just want to say...I was the biggest skeptic about hair growth vitamins. I tried biotin for a couple of months and the only things that grew were my nails and my cystic acne (which at my age is not pretty). So I don't expect much from vitamins that claim to "grow hair fast". Until Manetabolism. What is it? How did you find it?

Curlformers – Of curls and things

I’ve used my curlformers dups (new word I learnt on the interwebs) twice so far and unless I’m not as smart as I think, all those estimates of 30- 40 mins installation time are wrong. It’s still taking me 1.5+ hours to install L and its taking aaages to dry.  I need one of those

Product Review: Hercules Sagemann Seamless Tooth Comb

The seamless comb. A thing of legend in the healthy hair journey community. I've read a lot about the seemingly wondrous and magical powers of this comb. So (finally) when I came into some extra cash I decided to give it a try. I had a couple of questions about this going in and I'm guessing if you're reading this you do too. So I'll do a bit of Q&A first before my review.
