Natural Hair Spain

August 4, 2014 By Tamara

Hey guys! I recently made a video about my process when taking care of my natural hair in Spain.

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. This is in preparation for my Peace Corps Journey. My hair is falling out… On top of that my … [Read more...]

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...]

Loose Twist!

November 30, 2012 By Tamara

Every natural has heard of and seen Ciprianas "loose twist" hairstyle.  However another YouTuber "Ashababe56" is the one who inspired me to give it a go! Our hair textures is quite similar and it looks fabulous on her. The style took me almost 3 hours to finish on detangled and deep conditioned hair. Here are my results: My hair has grown a bit since I left … [Read more...]
