Wash Day Routine (15m Post BC)

So as my hair has gotten longer, my washday routine continues to evolve. I've been looking for tips on how to retain curl definition in my washngo and I think I've found a good method.

Tips:

- Part hair in sections

- Ensure hair is drenched in product

- Work in product when wet

- Detangle, Detangle, Detangle

Okay, so here it is:

1. Part dry hair in 4 and clip away

2. Start with any dry section, water it down and finger detangle

3. Work in shampoo/cowash then take a wide-tooth comb and detangle

4. Take a tangle teaser and smooth section till it is all clumped together

5. Rinse out section and apply conditioner & treatment for deep conditioning then clip it away in a Bantu knot style

6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all 4 parts done

7. Put a shower cap on and wrap head in a towel to trap heat in, then leave it for atleast 15mins

8. Rinse out hair in sections and keep in the 4 parts

9. Work in your product (ie. Leave-in, hair butter & styler) for each section and do not clip back

10. Style as desired

And that's it folks! Good for a week :)

2022 Outlook — Curls, Skincare and Wellness

I thought I'd create a post since reviving my blog (instead of the very old 2015 post I had chilling as my "featured post" lol. So here I am, creating a post to get the ball going and hopefully get some accountability going! For the last year I stuck to journaling and keeping most of my thoughts to myself (or with close family and friends), however I really wanted to take the leap of getting back into blogging and vlogging! I'm super excited and hope you'll rock with me. Here's the content lineup: Curly Hair (because of course, it's consumed my life for the last 7 years 🤫) Skincare (because a girl still has dry skin and acne, and I doubt that will go anywhere 😂) Wellness (because I've always been the "athletic girl" and overall health is SO IMPORTANT) If you're here for all of that, then stick around and stay posted for more :)

Dear Vitamins, PLEASE HELP MY ACNE

Okay okay, so I took one of my many strolls into Shoppers Drugmart because, it's like my favourite store. Only because I could totally spend like a gajillion minutes reading labels. I could spend my WHOLE lunch hour in these aisles: Makeup, Lotions/Creams & Vitamins. Before going on my vitamin escapade, I read up on some sites and blogs regarding vitamins that were beneficial for battling acne. In my previous post, I tried to lookup Vitamins to Heal Acne but only got so far as Vitamin A and Omega 3. Vitamin A I see everywhere and is pretty much the "go to" vitamin for face creams other than Vitamin E and Vitamin C. However I have read to be weary on going over the recommended dosage for Vitamin A and it totally made this girl's butt bleed . I haven't gone to a Dermatologist yet although I plan to, however it seems like Vitamin A cream is what's being prescribed. I'm trying to go for more of a holistic approach like XOJane instead of medications.

Cloré Haul: Marley Hair, SheaMoisture & More

Went to Cloré to gather some hair products, since you know, that's practically the only store in Toronto that caters to ethnic hair. Needed some weavage, a Cowash, and moisturizers for both my transitioning mother and I. It's always nice to educate someone on taking care of their natural/transitioning hair and letting them know it's not that bad or hard once you get the hang of it!
