We will be taking Jasmine to Disneyland Paris in September, just over a week before she starts school. When we attended the school open day earlier in the summer Jasi was in a bad mood so she decided that she hated school and refused to play with the other kids. Sigh. I’m really hoping that […]

June 29, 2013 by 8 Comments

A reader Melanie wrote to me a few days ago asking to see my naked hair with no products and fully shrunken. Of course I was taken aback by this request and was fully intending to respond saying “No [insert string of profanities here] way!” After all I’ve already shown you guys my wet unadorned […]

I Tried, I Really Did, But I Just Prefer My Hair Curly

June 22, 2013 by 10 Comments

When I was in my early 20’s I used to get approached my men once, maybe twice daily. I think most women tend to have a similar record, it’s the way of the world I suppose. As I’ve got older and a lot of people my age started pairing off and living together or getting […]

April 5, 2013 by 11 Comments

I recently told y’all about my product junkiesm but rather than try to run away from it, I have decided to embrace it for now. I noticed that I had only 3 jars of conditioner remaining the other day. But I usually have around 8 in stock at home and being down to the last 3, […]

Years ago I thought that I’d finally beaten the product junkiesm that plagued me during my early years of being natural and by and large I have remained free of it in the last few years. But I need a PJ Anonymous meeting right about now. Since BHI is currently partnering with CURLS products, a […]

March 21, 2013 by 4 Comments

When BHI was just a year old, I decided to get a web developer to create a unique site design for me. After running the cost of the project into more than I could afford, I was left with a site that didn’t quite look the part nor do exactly what I wanted it to do. As […]

This is just a quick post but I felt the need to share that it’s now 10 days into the curly afro hairstyle and the curls are still going strong. You may remember how flat the curls were soon after I took down the braids but now the afro has got the humidity bug and […]
