Palmer’s is a brand I trust. I have been using Palmer’s products for as long as I can remember. I have also been fighting hyperpigmentation. In my case, the discolouration (as well as scarring) tends to surface in the same area, my face and neck....

Superdrug Coconut Water Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Familiar with the range, I was pleasantly surprised to receive this coconut water infused, travel-sized, shampoo and conditioner duo, from Superdrug. In the past, I have used the conditioner, deliberately ignoring the shampoo as cheap shampoos tend to strip curly hair. I have finally found...
Cantu Shea Butter Moisturizing Curl Activator Cream Review
Shortly after my big chop (cutting off all of my hair), I decided it was time to attempt to style my natural hair. I had been avoiding the task by keeping my hair in box braids. Consulting YouTube, I came across a variety of TWA...
The Body Shop Spa Wisdom Polynesia Monoi Miracle Oil Review
The Body Shop's monoi miracle oil is heaven sent! Unfortunately, it is also exclusive to the discontinued range, Spa Wisdom Polynesia (you might be able to find it online or in an outlet store). No review can really capture how amazing this oil is. From...
Schwarzkopf Supersoft Volume Boost Conditioner Review
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...
L.A. Girl Matte Flat Finish Pigment Gloss: Rebel Review
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...
KeraCare Anti-Dandruff Moisturizing Conditioner Review
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...
Kinky-Curly Knot Today Natural Leave In Detangler Review
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...
Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Shampoo Review
My original plan involved reviewing the duo but I have now decided to only review the shampoo, as the conditioner is mediocre. It would be unfair to let its poor performance influence the overall review score. The conditioner is awful but I refuse to dwell;...
John Frieda Full Repair Hydrate + Rescue Shampoo & Conditioner Review
John Frieda is a hair care brand I adore as well as trust. From their Frizz Ease line to their foam hair dyes, John Frieda never fails to deliver cost-effective quality. Prior to purchasing this flawless duo, I was on the look out for a...
Akamuti Liquid African Black Soap Review
A purchase based on a compelling reputation as well as a rise in popularity, Akamuti’s Liquid African Black Soap (250ml, £8.95, from Amazon) is a must have for anyone relentlessly battling oily skin. African Black Soap is traditionally sold solid. A liquid alternative is a...
Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Anti-Shrinkage Sheen Sealing Nectar Review
Similar to my experience, I’m sure many were left baffled by Dark and Lovely’s “sheen sealing nectar”. What is it? What does it do? According to Dark and Lovely it is a “recipe for all day shiny, elongated curls and coils”. In Laymen’s terms, it’s...
