Confession time: With my absence from the WordPress space, I've turned into what the natural hair community calls a "lazy-natural". Actually, ever since my big chop, it's gone downhill for me. My hair being shorter got me to relax (not the creamy crack) and let go and I realised that I was probably doing too …
On 8 October 2016, I attended my very first Natural Hair slash Curl Festival. This was the inaugural Nakiso Curl Festival which was held at Zulu Nyala Country Manor in Fourways, Johannesburg. I was excited for weeks waiting for this day to come. The event advertising looked good on “paper” and the itinerary for …
I wrote this a few weeks back and never posted it. I thought it was a bit too emotional, but whatever, the point of this blog is to go through my hair journey and that involves emotions. Here it goes... Today was wash day. I laid out my pre-poo mix, my shampoo, my conditioner, my …
As part of my 90 day challenge, I decided to get box braids for the last 60 days. They looked cute and all was going well. Eventually I decided that enough was enough and it was time for the braids to come off. This was at around 8pm on a Sunday evening. I started to …
The initial intent of my blog was to document my transformations and motivate myself. I have been doing well with the hair updates as I transition back to my natural and healthy hair (I can do better and I will do better) but I haven’t touched the fitness side of my page. This is officially …

I’m a fan of the Dr. Miracle’s products and since I read a great review about this 3 Step Miracle Repair Intensive Treatment, I had been on the search for it. I cannot tell you how many Clicks stores I visited just to try and find this baby. Just when I had given up, I …

I do not remember the day that I “went natural”. In fact, I cannot say that I chopped off my hair or decided to go “natural”. I was very much a weave girl (I still am. I luuurrrrvvv me some good Brazilian hair) but with the constant straightening of my hair using relaxers, I realised …
