My first home hair colouring experience involved Schwarzkopf’s signature XXL red. I was eleven or twelve and I desperately wanted to stand out as well as rebel. The results were pretty impressive. One of the things I love about Schwarzkopf’s hair dyes is the conditioner...
I can't express how disappointed I am. As a dark skinned woman, the hunt for the perfect pink lip colour is tiresome and incredibly frustrating. Most shades are too pale or too loud. I purchased L.A. Girl’s matte gloss in the colour, Rebel as it...
This is the year of protective styling. From box braids to Senegalese twists, I’m giving my curls a well-deserved holiday! Unfortunately, a few protective hairstyles have been known to trigger a relentless itch and there is nothing more embarrassing than persistently scratching your scalp in...
One of the most popular brands amongst coily and curly haired individuals, a Kinky-Curly review is long overdue! I decided to purchase Kinky-Curly’s Knot Today Natural Leave In Detangler, as it’s a product many rave about. Purchased via Amazon, I spent £11.84 (236ml). It's pretty...

What does a rainforest smell like? If it is anything like this conditioner by The Body Shop, I have no intentions of ever visiting one! This is a review of a product that is absolutely magnificent but smells vile! The scent is wet grass meets...
I strongly believe the best of what this world has to offer can be found in plain sight, in our environment, in nature. I love castor oil. I also adore shea butter, sweet almond oil and monoi oil. I rarely venture beyond my preferences but...
Although I remain committed to Organics by Africa’s Best Hair Mayonnaise (my go to protein treatment as well as a staple investment), I am always on the look out for something better or just as good. Looking to explore the current market of deep conditioners,...
