Hi guys,       I cannot believe its been 4 years since I started my hair journey. Time really flies as they say. Without much ado here are my hair update pictures. BIG CHOP May 2013 1 YEAR NATURAL 2 YEARS NATURAL 4 YEARS NATURAL   As you can see my hair length at 2 years and 4 years is the same. The reason is simple- I stopped doing the work. Period! I stopped prepooing and finger detangling and doing every other nice thing that helped me get to where I was in my 2nd year of being natural. The things I did do, like deep conditioning, I didn't do consistently. In between that time and now I have had about 3 mini big chops due to damaged ends. I have decided to turn a new leaf  because I so over this length lol. I have to move on to bigger( and by that I mean longer) things so with that in mind I am revamping my regimen and making it more practical.

Hi Friends!  It's been a while eh? I have never been so busy in my entire life!! Thankfully I have learned to cope and I hope I can make more time for blogging. Now to the post for today: Buying hair products without regret. I remember how hard it was to choose hair products when I newly bigchopped. I didn't know anyone who had natural hair so I had to rely on blogs and YouTube for hair styling and product suggestions. I went all out back then. Buying different hair products that somehow ended up in a pile I call the Rejects.  I still cringe when I think of how much money I wasted back then. Since that time I have grown. Now I understand that buying products is an art. You can't just buy any product you see and hope for the best. Here are 5 tips to help you up your hair product buying game (-; READ REVIEWS I cannot stress this enough. Always read at least 5 reviews of a product before you buy it. How to do it? Simple. Just type in the product name in full and wr

Hi guys,                                                                                                                                                      I'm here with another review.

Hi guys,                                                             It's been ages since I've done a product review right? Sorry about that. I have bought tons of products since the last time but I haven't had time to do a proper review of each one. Its better later than never not so?

Hi guys,    I would really love to colour my hair. I think about it all the time especially when I'm on Instagram. The only reason I haven't had a dye job is because of fear. Walahi I don't want anything to happen to my precious curls by mistake. I was so glad to find this super cheap temporary hairspray at Blenco the other day. It doesnt look like much but its a really cool spray. I didn't know how the silver would come out but I must say I love how it looks. I think its a steal for N350. I must warn you though about the smell. It is terrible. I always spray my hair outside so that the air will diffuse the pungent chemicals in the spray.  6 shades of gray All you have to do to get is out is a quick rinse. Thanks for stopping by, K im B
