Embracing Big Hair With Curls Whipped Creme

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, […]

More Braid N Curl’s On 3 Heads Of Hair. Oh My

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 […]

Update On My Curly Afro

February 27, 2013 by 4 Comments

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 […]

Approaching Shrinkage With A Noodle-head Curly Afro

February 23, 2013 by 8 Comments

Last week I felt the urge to go with a shrunken style. More often than not shrinkage does not go hand in hand with length retention and as such I try to avoid it as much as possible. I must say that I am not against the idea of shrinkage as long as it is approached in a  controlled […]

How I Color My Hair And My Wash Day

February 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

I have always loved hair color but years ago circa 2007 when I was still relaxed, I never got the memo that it was a really bad idea to color relaxed hair. On a whim I did just that. I adored my hair immediately after but literally two weeks later, majority of it had broken off. […]

How I Make A Sock Bun Maker, An Itchy Scalp And A Curly Hairdo

February 7, 2013 by 2 Comments

I’m in the final few days of a 3 week long experiment without washing my hair. As was expected, I am dying to get at my scalp with a brush and give it a good scrub but alas I cannot until the weekend. My hair has remained surprisingly moisturized throughout, I can honestly say that […]

My Weekend Hair Regimen When Not Washing My Hair

January 30, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Since I have decided to bypass the whole washing once a week thing in the interest of wearing my hair straight for longer, I had to formulate a Saturday ‘wash day’ regimen that doesn’t involve water. This past week my hair has been soft as expected, it has reverted slightly to a kinky straight, also expected but all in all moisture […]

Wash Day, Henna And A Major Change To My Regimen

January 23, 2013 by 5 Comments

Wash day this weekend took two days instead of one. It’s been ages since I did an Aphogee 2 step and my last henna gloss just over 9 weeks ago. They both work as well as each other but again henna won out over Aphogee as my strengthener of choice. Last weekend I noticed a bit […]

How I Sleep With My Straightened Hair

January 11, 2013 by 4 Comments

I’ve heard it said that we sweat a litre or more every night. I’m not much of a sweater during the day but my body definitely wants to eliminate toxins via sweat while asleep so I often find that my roots, particularly at the back will tend to revert pretty quickly. You may know this […]

I Have Achieved My Goal – Waist Length At Last!

January 7, 2013 by 10 Comments

**Warning** This post will be a picture fest! Exactly 4.5 years ago in July 2008 I discovered the online hair community and I decided to start stretching my relaxers. The stretch turned into a full blown transition with a dream of someday having waist length hair. That day is today (well, last week really) Yaaay!!!!! As I […]
