What is REAL Shea Butter?

I always thought shea butter was yellow. In the local Korean and African beauty stores, shea butter is bright yellow in color with a strong smokey odor. I have been working on developing my own product line for almost a year now and during my journey of learning about different ingredients that benefit our hair, I discovered that the shea butter I used in my hair at the beginning of my hair growth journey was not shea butter at all. The yellow shea butter sold in many Korean and African hair stores in the U.S.

Can Natural Hair be Trained?

I’ve heard of the so-called concept of “training” natural hair, meaning to have the hair respond a certain way to heat. “Untrained” natural hair would be more unrulely, so to speak. It wouldn’t become silky straight when a blow dryer and pressing comb, or flat iron is applied, but after using these appliances on the hair on a regular basis, the hair will respond “better” by becoming more silky, straight, smooth, straight, and some what limp.

Satin/Silk Pillowcases – Do they really help?

I decided to try the whole satin pillow case idea instead of my satin bonnet or scarf and I find that they can be more damaging than good. Here’s why: Without your hair tied down they create tangles & knots Your hair may not stay on just the pillowcase itself If the air is dry it will still dry out your hair They can’t retain moisture in the hair So now lets review the above reasons; Without your hair tied down they create tangles & knots Absolutely! Although I find that sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase may keep your hair from being really smashed down, the hair tends to tangle and knot more because it is out and not tied down to prevent friction as you sleep.

Kinky-Curly Spiral Spritz Review

I tried the Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz about 3 days ago and it works wonders for a second and third day curl refresher. It works just as good as plain water to refresh your Kinky-Curly styled hair, but adds a ton of moisture rather than plain water. Just use this product the same way you use water when you refresh your look and you will be left with shiny spirals and curls.
