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...
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'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...
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...
Most people go wild with their hair colour in summer, vibrant shades and daring colours. This summer I fell in love with the colour brown, from the richest chocolate to the deepest maroon. There is nothing remotely wild about the colour but it does compliment...
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...

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...
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 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...
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...
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...
