Curly, kinky hair is beautiful! It’s versatile. It’s resilient. It’s unique. Like a magnificent crown. There’s so much you can do with curly, kinky hair–from natural coils to relaxed tresses. Yes, your kinky, curls are wonderful, girl! But they need moisture. Lots of it! We often get so caught up styling our hair that we forget to care for […]
Having thick hair is both a blessing and a curse. It’s nice to have lots of volume and body but it’s a lot of maintenance. My thick hair usually requires regular protein treatments and a lot of moisture to keep it healthy, shiny and frizz free. Keeping my hair moisturized has always been a struggle […]
Embarking on a healthy hair journey requires a lot of maintenance and upkeep that can be hard to maintain when you have a busy schedule. One of the biggest things I struggle with is finding time to wash (or co-wash) my hair every week like I used to. Or the energy. Because we all know […]
Makeup and skincare are passions of mine but I also have a serious thing for healthy haircare. For years, I’ve been learning how to style and care for my relaxed hair to keep it healthy and eventually grow out my tresses to waist length. Sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with life and tend to […]
Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t like to do much to my hair on a regular basis. Which is why I’m almost always in a bun because it’s simple, quick and doesn’t take much effort at all. Just a little water, oil and leave-in conditioner. That’s it. For months, I’ve been using Creme […]

When you have thick, curly hair, it’s almost inevitable that you become addicted to oils. Olive oil, castor oil, jojoba oil–there’s so many to choose from. And I’ve tried just about all of them. The only that my hair loves more than water and conditioner is oil. Oils instantly moisturize, add shine and lock in moisture […]
Hold up, wait a minute! Let me sprinkle some #BlackGirlMagic in it! I was starting to think we’d seen the last of MAC and Taraji. But they’re back! Last year, we got a taste of auntie Taraji’s fierce yet sophisticated makeup style when she launched two campaigns with MAC. It all started with her first Viva Glam […]
Kim Kardashian has been a makeup and beauty icon for years. She (and her makeup artist Mario) catapulted the age-old technique of highlighting and contouring to the masses and launched a makeup revolution.
