If you’re not completely new in your transitioning journey you most likely have heard of pre-poo. For me, this was one of the first natural hair topics I had information on and was one of the first things I implemented in my transitioning hair routine. At the time, it felt instinctively right to do it even though I didn’t have much information about it. However, having been on this journey for quite […]

I’ve viewed countless videos from curly vloggers where we can learn how to trim and even perform haircuts on our own hair.

I love tea! I don’t know when my love affair with tea began, but I’m fairly certain it will go on for a long time. Tea has the ability to comfort me, to warm me up, to calm me down if I’m anxious or nervous, to ease an upset stomach pain or a headache. Oh, and let’s not forget the scent of freshly brewed tea. Don’t you just love it? Besides its health […]

Are you one of those persons who reads the label of hair products and follow application instructions or do you just skip this and apply them straight away? Before transitioning, I would read the instructions and follow the directions. Unfortunately, I usually didn’t get the results I was looking for.
