My Rollersetting Regimen
To avoid using direct heat back to back I like to rollerset as a low heat option. I am able to get a straight look without using heat on the delicate ends on my hair. In addition I prefer the bounce and body I get with a rollerset compared to blowdrying and flat ironing. So far, in my transition they have really been helping me stay away from the blowdryer and flat iron while staying fly! Here is the method that has been working for me. Step 1: Section and Remove shed hair First I section my hair into...
Neutrlab Cocoa Curls and Pop n Curls
At the beginning of my transition back to natural, I was interested in trying out different products for the times when I do not wear my hair straightened. I was doing my routine window shopping at the beauty supply store and I saw these cute brightly colored products. I had never seen them before but before buying I decided to look on the internet about them. I found pretty much nothing and on top of that, the official website was defunct.(it sadly still is) So I decided to just try them out for myself! Neutrlab is a relatively new...

Cricket Silkomb … My new seamless comb!
In the past few years I didn’t want to fall into the hype of getting a seamless comb. It seemed so pointless! A comb is a comb is a comb! Seamless was just another hyper word in the hair care industry like “argan oil” or “nano technology”. However, since I got the silkomb, this little birdies tune has changed! It is a reasonable price for a seamless comb at about 8 dollars. Many seamless combs are made of a heavy carbon or silicone polymer. Bone combs are the most expensive and most likely are made up of unicorn horn...
The Ultrasonic Challenge
Up until now I have had what I think to be a good regimen. It was low heat, kept my hair stretched and had relatively low manipulation outside of washday. Even so, I still have to battle against the breakage that ruins my hemline and gives an overall thinner look to my hair. Serial protective styling gives me similar issues and causes matting and knots even when I am very careful. After wearing a wet bun for a week recently, the center of my hair has snapped right off at the newgrowth. Up until then my hair was fairly...
