Bentonite Clay Hair Mask

March 22, 2014 By Tamara

My hair is falling out... Not only that but it has been extremely dry, breaking and just all around  a sad hot mess :( I've been doing an experiment for the last 6 months where I use products available to me locally, once the hair care products I  brought from the states, ran out.

Natural Hair Meet-up!

May 20, 2013 By Tamara

I attended a natural hair meet up with one of my friends yesterday. I believe it was my first natural hair meet-up EVER!  I generally don't attend these events because:  1.The good ones are never in the same cities (or countries) that I am   AND 2. I think its a bit odd to focus so much attention on "natural hair" and not combine it with "total body wellness". *Seriously … [Read more...]

My favorite products for my natural hair while traveling

April 5, 2013 By Tamara

My mane doesn't stress me out as it once did years ago when I was transitioning. Or even when my hair was in that awkward grown out TWA (Tinnie Winnie Afro) phase. You know...that length where you can make a pony tail but there is only 1/2 an inch of hair sticking out your scrunchie . *Pure sadness* However, most of the stress came from testing out products trying to find … [Read more...]
