Note: Please do not get the Naturalaxer and the Natural-laxer confused, they are not the same thing. I am referring to the Naturaxer from growyourownhair.com in this article. I heard about this so-called natural relaxer and I even thought about trying it, but as always I did my research first and discovered that this product [...]

Please see this post after reading this product review. I’ve been using the Ultra Black Hair Lotion Creme Moisturizer product for about a month and a half and so far so good. I wish I would’ve ordered the larger bottle because I wasn’t planning on using it as much as I’ve been using it. I [...]

I really liked using the PhytoSpecific Phyto Relaxer even though I have begun using a different relaxer for now because of my budget, but this relaxer was the only relaxer I have ever used that did not burn or cause any chemical burns what so ever! It claims to be a no-lye relaxer and unlike the many “no-lye” [...]

I was reading an article the other day in the Essence magazine about taking care of your daughter’s hair while they were in school. I can’t for life of me remember what months issue is was, but I agreed with most of what they said except for the part about using a brush to stimulate [...]

 I read the article “Big Night Beauty Strands” on page 38 in the December magazine issue of Essence a few days ago and there were quite a few things that I did not agree with in the article: Every style looks better with trimmed ends. Before you rock a straight or even curly look get that quarter [...]

So I tried the Palmers Coconut Oil Forumula (with vitamin E) Replenishing Hair Milk because it was something new on the shelves at Walmart, but this product like many others with great potential contains protein(keratin & amino acids) which can be quite drying to the hair. It also lacks humercants which are ingredients that are really needed in African [...]

I was in the grocery store the other day trying to find a good shampoo for my hair type: chemically treated, dry, damaged, etc. There were tons of shampoos to choose from and it’s funny how the shampoos that are actually so-calledly geared towards our hair type are exactly NOT what we need. Most shampoos [...]

This shampoo contains sulfates and I no longer recommend the use of shampoo’s with sulfates at all unless it’s for clarifying the hair once a month. After looking over the formulations of shampoo’s made for African American hair, I decided to venture out and look at other shampoo’s that aren’t made specifically for a certain [...]

I’ve been doing a lot of research on shampoo’s that are best for black hair and I learned some things from actual experience and from the research I did. The first thing I learned was that sodium laureth sulfate is a milder cleansing agent than sodium lauryl, but it is still drying to the already [...]

I purchased the Wild Hair Growth Oil a month ago because I’ve noticed that this rather expensive oil has been advertised in the back of most black magazines claiming that it will grow your hair long beyond any length you’ve ever achieved. The company that manufactures the Wild Hair Growth Oil makes a lot of [...]

I used this product for about 3 months  and I have some complaining to do. I’ve even removed it from my recommendations based on what has happened as a result of using it. It moisturized my hair nicely, but after using it for a while it seemed to have some negative effects on my hair. [...]

I started using this leave in hair strengthener about a week ago so my hair can remain moisturized as well as strong while I am wearing single braids. I planned on wearing braids from time to time to aid in my hair growth and I needed to figure out a way to keep my hair [...]

****IMPORTANT*** - Note: I just discovered that this product contains beeswax. A no no for black hair. In fact all of  the Carols Daughter styling & moisturizing products contain beeswax. I no longer recommend this line for our hair type. The review is finally here! I haven’t been able to update the site because I was [...]

I purchased this detangler to use in my sons hair because he currently wears cornrows and his hair gets tangled up making it a struggle with combing his hair without him having some discomfort. I read the ingredients in this product and I believe the reason that I don’t care for it as much is [...]

My mother purchased the Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner from the beauty store for $6.49 and I was curious to see how good of a conditioner it really was. I’m already in love Organic Root Stimulator’s Hair Mayonnaise. I tried this product a few days ago and it is just as good as [...]

I know you may have heard of the remarkable Kinky-Curly Custard which is an all natural product that is similar to that of a gel. It defines the natural curls in natural hair and gives a high gloss sheen as well. I purchased this product to use while I grow my hair back out naturally. [...]

Have you heard of or seen a new product sold in local hair stores called Re Gro? I noticed this the last time I stopped in a hair store and I decided to take a look at the product and it’s ingredients. What is so good about this product? As I read the ingredients a [...]

I decided to try some products from a site  that one of my readers recommended in the comments area. I’m really glad I did. After that day more and more sites have been revealed to me with other product options that will be great for our hair! I have a lot of work to do [...]

This is one of the products that I purchased when I decided to try the CURLS product line. From what I read on the site this product is recommended as a curl definer with a light hold for 3c-4b hair. I used the product according to the directions on the site to see if I’d [...]
