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...
Organics by Africa's Best is the brand behind my favourite hair mayonnaise treatment. I am also a fan of the leave-in alternative. As the branding is identical to my beloved Hair Mayonnaise, I accidently purchased Organics by Africa's Best Cholesterol Tea-Tree Oil Conditioner from my...
Your Beauty Staples is the ultimate guide to the beauty products you can’t afford to live without and John Frieda’s Full Repair Strengthen + Restore Shampoo (formally known as Hydrate + Rescue) is a must have! A beauty writer, I am always bombarded with products...

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...
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...
