Growing Long Hair the Healthy Way
Regardless of whether you are relaxed, natural or transitioning...at some point in your hair journey trying new products is fun and almost inevitable. Some of us are worse than others - but I'm not judging! The excitement of buying-trying-and-buying usually wears off at some point and the amount of products in your stash ends up being a bit overwhelming. I've seen ladies purge and even form challenges in an attempt to slow their spending … [Read more...]
How much do you love this henna inspired nail art?! I'll be honest, it isn't very easy to do but compared to the intricacies of most actual henna designs, I think it is very straightforward and simple. I love the results and I can't count the number of compliments and comments I received on my nails while wearing it. It is difficult to explain how to do this design so check out the tutorial below. Don't worry - I walk you through it … [Read more...]
I've been truly slacking on taking pics of my manicures each week and even if I do, the pics never seem to make it to the blog! If you follow me on Instagram @EbonyCPrincess, you have a better chance of seeing my current nail polish. And even there, I've been off my game! A couple of weeks ago I had the BOMB purple polish with a fishtail accent nail and I have no photos! By the time I thought about it, the mani had lost its luster and I … [Read more...]
Hello ladies! I wanted to chat with you a bit about my approach to reviewing hair products. I haven't done a whole lot of hair product reviews throughout the history of L4L for a few reasons. For the post part, when I find something I love...I run with it. How often have you seen/heard me talk about Bee Mine moisturizers, the KeraPro conditioner and Giovanni Smooth as Silk shampoo...just as an example. A lot right?! The other reason … [Read more...]
I was sent the PMD (personal microderm) tool for review about a month ago. Let me tell you...I think I was more excited about this opportunity more than I have ever been about any other review offer because as many of you are able to ascertain from my photos and video...I have pretty bad acne. It began when I was around 10 years old and has gone through various stages of severity over the past 20 years. This is the first time in about 10 … [Read more...]
Ya'll know I can be long winded...so I'll try to keep this short, for your sake! I celebrated my 30th birthday this week! WHOOO HOOO! I'm going to do a personal post on that later, but right now I only have time to tell you about my last wash day. No prepoo again this week (eek!) because I'm reviewing some new products from Profectiv MegaGrowth. Shampooed with Profectiv MegaGrowth Stimulating Shampoo Deep conditioned with Profectiv … [Read more...]
Learning how to detangle your natural hair is one of the most challenging aspects of being relaxer free. That’s why so many of us naturalistas dread wash-day…the whole detangling process can truly be a beast! Y’all remember that scene from The Color Purple when the little girl was screaming while Ms. Celie was combing her hair? "It hurts her!" *smack!* Yep, it’s one of my favorite movies, can’t you tell? And unfortunately, sometimes I … [Read more...]
I've always loved those huge braided chignon hairstyles worn by celebrities to red carpet events and brides and other dressed up women; In my opinion it is one of the most classic and elegant hairstyles ever! However the larger version does not seem appropriate for everyday so I did a more casual version and I really love the way it turned out! httpv://youtu.be/uS76q2Vmvzc I actually wrapped a hair extension around my ponytail (about 1/4 of … [Read more...]
