I don’t know where to begin. I was hoping to write a stellar review, straightforward and concise, but Cantu felt the need to meddle. Yes, meddle! I no longer recognise Cantu Coconut Curling Cream, as the formula has changed for the worse. Nonetheless, this is...
A curiosity driven purchase, I don’t know what to make of Cantu Tea Tree & Jojoba Hair & Scalp Oil. According to Cantu, this “no drip formula” oil protects against breakage, conditions your scalp and encourages hair growth. Whilst it conditioned my scalp, it made...
Elasta QP is the brand behind the world’s worst leave-in conditioner. According to Elasta QP, this leave-in conditioner is perfect for natural as well as relaxed hair; it is formulated to soften and moisturise. I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews but I also don’t appreciate...
Protective styling is the art of creating a hairstyle that prioritises the protection of your hair. From box braids to wigs, protective hairstyles promote hair growth and aid in retaining length. The impact of protective styling depends on your method/application. Tight box braids or cornrows...

Your Style is back! Where did it go? I don’t know but I have failed the series I optimistically introduced in 2015. Failed? Yes, since launching, I have only published two Your Style posts. Your Style is a series dedicated to celebrating an individual’s style....
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....
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...
As I remain dedicated to protective styling, this will be the first of many wig reviews. If RAY performed as good as it looked, it would have been the ultimate wig, a perfect 10. Janet Collection is the brand behind RAY, a lace wig from...
