For some, the mere thought of wash day is met with eye rolls and pouts aplenty! Well, I wanted to offer just a few tips that may change your view. This isn’t necessarily a list of harsh rules or talk of products to use but just some practical suggestions to help you make the most of your wash day and get through it without grumbling. Give Yourself Plenty of Time Now, I know they call it “wash DAY” but it doesn’t always have to take that long. At the same time, you don’t wanna rush through it either. You ever speed through a task just to get it done already? More often than not, you wind up skipping steps or not doing a thorough enough job. In my experience, it doesn’t pay to try to properly wash AND style my hair when I’m pressed for time so I’ve found it better to…

How I first came across THIS fashionista, I couldn’t even tell you. All I know is… she’s wussup! She is a beautiful, Cameroon-born attorney who currently resides in Queens, NY, cooking things up on her popular fashion and lifestyle blog Simply Cyn. While the site offers a wide range of her favorite things- food, photography, travel- there is no doubt that she has a penchant for all things fashionable. Meet Cynthia. How long have you been wearing your hair in its natural state and what made you take that step? I never really kept count , cos I transitioned. But I think I’m in the 4 year range about now. My hair relaxed was very weak, breaking and falling. I just wanted my hair to be stronger and healthier. What do you love most about having natural hair? What challenges have you faced along the way? I love its versatility.…

Time to bear it all… kinda 😉 So, here’s the thing… I’ve been in a bit of a slump recently, writing-wise (in case you haven’t noticed LOL!). I mean, I sit down at the dining table, all pumped and determined to type up like, a week’s worth of posts, open up the laptop and… nothing. “Why?”, you ask? Who knows?! Could it be this event that I’m planning? *shrug* It could very well be that my brain has turned to mush with all the preparations on top of the already fifty-eleven things I’ve got going on in this head of mine. Could be. Or maybe… …it’s my writing space. Hey, don’t underestimate the value of a decent place to create! You fellow writers, artists and creatives alike will surely agree with me that often times, your environment can either inspire you to be super productive or do just the opposite.…

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…
