Your Beauty First is moving in a new direction. Whilst I hope to maintain a personal touch, I am also looking to monetise my work, which will involve taking a professional approach to blogging. I am currently working to establish a variety of series (accessible...
What do you do when your hair begins to resemble hay? Whilst my hair did not feel like hay, it did appear dull and dry. I hate to admit it but natural hair has its cons! Your hair can be in the best condition and...
I have grown rather fond of John Frieda. The brand never fails to deliver. Although a beautiful sight, lightened curls and the great responsibility of painstaking maintenance go hand in hand! If it is not the vibrancy in need of a boost, it is the...
Although my latest reviews reflect an obsession, I am simply intrigued, as the hype that surrounds Ecoco’s extensive range of gels is immense as well as contagious. Eco Style Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Professional Styling Gel appears to be everyone’s favourite, a must have....
The arrival of summer is marked with a shopping spree. This year I was met with a compulsion to explore the sun care market; a sunscreen for my dark complexion was at the heart of my quest. Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly), my options were limited as...
Whilst exploring Ecoco’s extensive range of gels, I came across the brand’s Eco Style Coconut Professional Styling Gel. Relatively impressed with the coconut infused gel, I decided to try another, Eco Styler Olive Oil Professional Styling Gel. Incredibly affordable, I purchased the gel from Pak...

I hate writing negative reviews. However, many have come to rely on reviews and if I can save someone time as well as money, delivering such negativity is worthwhile. Although I tend to love tea tree oil infused soaps, shower gels, etc., I was left...
Pantene is a household name. It is also a brand I tend to avoid. Buying into the hype, I decided to try a co-wash from Pantene’s range developed for afro/natural hair. To summarise hastily, it was a disappointing experience, not worthy of a review. However,...
Cantu’s Define and Shine Custard is simply the best! Words can’t express how pleased I am with this product. Purchased from Amazon (£5.49, 340g), Cantu’s Define and Shine Custard delivers everything promised and so much more. Free of sulfates, silicones, parabens and mineral oil, the...
Yes, I am reviewing another conditioner from Garnier's Ultimate Blends range. Infused with argan and camellia oil, Garnier’s Ultimate Blends The Marvellous Transformer Conditioner is a pleasant surprise! Prior to purchasing it from Amazon (£2.00, 400ml), I had never heard of camellia oil. According to...
