Eco Style Coconut Professional Styling Gel Review
Gel is often used to define curls. I prefer custards or creams as such products are formulated to define as well as moisturise. I find gels drying, unable to tame my frizzy curls. Ecoco is the company behind Eco Styler (sometimes spelled Style) gels, a...

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Body Wash Review
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...

Bobs and lobs are everywhere! This is no surprise as both hairstyles are timeless. Rejecting individuality (a complete step out of character), I will be jumping on the bandwagon this summer and I have already made the essential investments. Essential investments? Yes, I have joined...
Pantene Pro-V Colour Protect & Smooth Conditioner Review
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,...

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Eventone Dark Spot Corrector Review
An effective treatment for tackling dark spots is hard to find, especially if your budget is tight. Exploiting the common concern, rogue companies have flooded the market with cheap products promising to eliminate your pigmented imperfections. Sadly, such products will only destroy, leaving you with...
Garnier Ultimate Blends The Nourishing Repairer Conditioner Review
