It's amazing when you do a countdown to relaxer day and then when it approaches, you're left thinking that you could go a little longer! A few weeks ago I decided I was done with self-relaxing and contacted one of my hairdressers Jade who used to relax my hair, to come round to relax and trim my hair. I could see my ends...
At the beginning of my hair journey, I struggled to stretch my relaxers to 12 weeks post without the use of heat. I tried lots of different products of which some of them worked but would leave me with weighed down hair. I know what works for my hair now and as much as I have fallen in love with air-drying my relaxed...

Wash Day Diary - Relaxer Prep | 11 Weeks Post Relaxer

Sunday 12th November 2017 It is time for a relaxer touch-up next week so this weekend, it was all about preparing my hair for a relaxer which means protein. For this wash day, I pre-pooed my hair on Friday night using extra virgin olive oil, covered my hair and went to bed. On Saturday morning, I rinsed my hair then shampooed my hair...
Since starting my hair journey in 2012, I have managed to curb my product junkie craves and stick to what works for my hair instead of buying very product going just because it worked for someone else's hair. I have four water based moisturisers that my hair absolutely loves. Two of these moisturisers contain protein, sulfates and silicone and the other two are...
I decided to do the castor oil challenge over the colder months to see if I could encourage thicker roots and extra length retention. The castor oil challenge consists of incorporating castor oil into your hair regime for a period of time. I have decided to take part in this challenge on the advanced level which is to add two teaspoons of castor...

I am back.... I have taken a long break, longer than expected, however starting a YouTube channel is a lot more time consuming than I realised. I love that I can just sit in front of the camera and make a video however; I don't enjoy the editing afterwards. I am starting with a wash day as I miss documenting my wash days...
I have had relaxed hair for at least 15 years now and before I started my hair journey, I would wrap my hair every night using a paddle brush and would secure with a satin scarf. I stopped wrapping my hair about 4-5 years ago as I realised it was causing breakage to my edges, I don't even own a paddle brush anymore...
I thought I would try something different and instead of writing a post to describe how I moisturise and seal my hair, I thought I'd make a quick video to show you exactly what I do. I use the L.C.O. method (liquid, cream, oil) to moisturise my hair. The products I use are: Rose water Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer...
Summer is here and I have altered my regime to suit the weather. There are steps I no longer need to follow in the warmer months like using heavier oils to seal in moisture and I have also incorporated a few other things which I believe my hair will benefit from. Weekly Pre-Poo (Pre-shampoo) To shorten my wash days, I have decided to...

At the beginning of the year, I set myself some hair goals for the year ahead. It is now June and we are halfway through the year so let's take a look and see how I am doing: Keep it Simple & Be Consistent I have definitely been keeping things simple with my hair year to date. There has been the occasional weekend...
My last self-relaxer touch-up was on April 30th and yet again when washing out the relaxer; I noticed I was left with a lot of texture to the front and crown of my head. I was annoyed as I had prepped my hair by sectioning it into 1 inch sections so that when I'm applying the relaxer, I could apply with ease. I...
My partner and I had a birthday meal in London to attend a couple of weeks back and as much as I am happy to keep my hair in low manipulation/protective styles for the most part, when it comes to getting dressed up and going out, I prefer to change it up a bit to look different. ...
