My Havana Twists And Why I Will No Longer Be Using Extensions On My Daughter’s Hair

June 14, 2013 by 27 Comments

I have always made use of braid extensions. Having had them installed on my own hair since childhood, kanekalon hair has always been sort of an extension or my hair care repertoire. I will not knock braids now because along with weaves, they have been instrumental in my length retention efforts over the years. I […]

And I Used To Think That Color Made Curls Pop!

June 7, 2013 by 9 Comments

Ok this is a super quick post. Stupidly I went out shopping with the hubs two days in a row earlier this week and as a result I have a to-do list as long as my arm and 20 emails in my inbox still to look at. And they said blogging for a living was […]

Back To Black – Reclaiming My Natural Hair Color

May 25, 2013 by 15 Comments

There is one thing that I have not done in my entire hair journey, that’s to wear my natural black hair color. This is because I have always had a fascination with hair color; brown, golden, blond, orange, you name it, I’ve considered it. When I was relaxed I also had this fascination but after […]

New Way Of Doing A Braid Out And It Starts With Twists

May 15, 2013 by 2 Comments

I’ve had an interesting week so far. Spent more money than I’m used to on various necessities (clothes are necessary right?) and made some productive decisions. Because of an appointment that I have on Friday in London we are having to do the 3 hour drive this Thursday and come back on Friday. Then next […]

Box Braids And Why I Believe That The Idea Of Health At Every Size Is Nonesense

May 7, 2013 by 10 Comments

For the past couple of weeks I’ve had very little to say about my hair and with good reason too, I got a set of box braids! They are not small enough to be micros but not very large either. I would really like to say that I love them but honestly, even though I […]

One Of The Only Stylists That I Would Ever Let Touch My Hair

April 18, 2013 by 5 Comments

Based on this title you may think that I have something against stylists. I don’t. No really I don’t. It’s just the ones I have come across so far have not impressed me enough for me to put my head within reaching distance of their salons. I came across Renice’s website years and years ago at the beginning of […]

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, […]

My Product Junkiesm Rears It’s Ugly Head Again – My Hair Product Haul!

March 29, 2013 by 4 Comments

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 […]

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 […]
