(You can see my Video tutorial and in depth Review) Sliding into the naturel hair community, the brand offered something new and exciting, putting their au natural ingredients at the front line.

Having curly hair is a high maintenance lifestyle not many people know about. (The question; what do you put in your hair? is not so simple to answer) Unfortunately for us our neglect of ourselves shows itself mostly through our hair.

I recently tried some UK made products from the elegant Anita Grant online store!

Anita … Continue reading Review: Anita Grant Creamy Café Latte Vanilla Leave In Butter
I've said this a lot recently but I am a newly converted finger detangler! I know a lot of curly girls already do this and for some years now I've been too stubborn/unable to do it myself. This has resulted in using a hair brush to untie my knots and stretch my curl pattern … Continue reading Beginner’s Guide to Finger-Detangling
