Hey my loves! Back in February, I shared with you all my lovely experience at media day with Soft-Sheen Carson for the launch of their Optimum Amla Legend line at Dream Hotel in NYC. Below, Actress Tracee Ellis Ross teams up with SoftSheen-Carson Laboratories®, the #1 ethnic haircare brand in the world, to debut a video entitled, “Optimum Amla Legend #LegendaryStyle.” In the video, Ross sits down with Optimum Salon Haircare Artistic Style Director and stylist to the stars Johnny Wright, to dish on all things hair, legendary style and their favorite new products from the Optimum Amla Legend Rejuvenating Ritual.

It’s great to meet others who are as passionate about natural hair care as I am! After following Brooklyn-based beauty brand Amazing Botanicals on social media for some time, I finally had the pleasure of meeting entrepreneurs Asha Burton and Shelly Morant at a networking event last September. Within a few moments, I was confident that these ladies were about their business and knew their stuff! Meet these two amazing women who are doing their part to contribute to the natural hair community… When and why did you decide to return to your natural hair texture and what have you learned along the way that you can share with those who may be new or struggling on this journey? Asha: The only real reason why I returned to my natural texture was because I was tired of forcing by hair to do something it didn’t naturally. I had way too many days of…

…keep in mind that they do not REPLACE a balanced diet. There are a number of these types of pills and vitamins on the market right now which promise to give you amazing results in a relatively short amount of time, most of them showing you impressive ‘before and after’ shots to prove their worth. Not saying they don’t work or won’t work for you, but you want to make sure that when and if you do decide to use them as a part of your hair regimen that you aren’t neglecting the other important factors that contribute to the health of your hair. “Supplement” is defined as “something added to complete a thing, supply a deficiency or reinforce or extend a whole”. That said, they are meant to be used to sort of fill in the gaps where we may be lacking in the nutrition department, not as a…

Happy Tuesday y’all! In this edition of Hair Tip Tuesday, we’re briefly exploring the proper uses of certain products for moisturizing your hair versus what you might use to seal. What is Moisturizing? Some synonyms for moisturize are dampen, drench and saturate… words associated with water. Simply put, to moisturize means “to make wet”. Therefore, true moisture comes from either water itself or products that are water-based. You’ll know if your product is water-based if the very first ingredient is good ole H2O.
