Two new products on my counter

L’Oreal’s Re-Nutrition has made me quite pleased over the past two weeks. I thought the little container wouldn’t be able to hold up to daily use with my curly thirsty hair, but I haven’t even gone through half the jar yet. A little goes a long way, and it detangles oh so well. I use either a wide tooth comb and a Denman. Not much tangling.

It’s been getting cold and my hair was turning from soft sheep wool to steel wool. Until I asked someone randomly at Starbucks what she used in her hair, because her curls looked amazing and so cushy. She told me about Taliah Waajid, a product I thought I would have to special order from the US, something I am trying my hardest not to do anymore (…says the ex-product-junkie). But low and behold, it was in my local beauty supply store for $8. YAY! I am so happy I found it. LOVE the way it makes my hair soft all day, even when I use gel on top.

There you have it! Enjoy, and let me know if you’ve tried these and what you think.

Hi…

Hi. I’m back. It’s been a while and I’ve been all over the place. Had to take some time to sort out some things, try some things, undo some things. Just like all other things in life, I guess.

I was still online, for those of you who didn’t follow me. For those of you who did and still stuck with me, thank you.

I am no longer an all-natural-everything product junkie. I am now willing to try store bought products and remix them to my delight. I big chopped my hair last year and was very happy with it. I spent some time straightening it, just for the hell of it.

That’s when I learned to let go a bit. I was beginning to feel like I had to be just about my hair, which I was not. It was taking up a lot of my time blogging about it instead of just enjoying my hair and sharing it.

I had spent all of my youth going back and forth between natural and relaxed, not for any other reason than boredom. Having it straight reminded me of why I liked it curly, so I went back.

I was sick for a while and my brother passed away so it wasn’t a fantastic year. But, I took up photography – self portraits mostly, vacationed more, met some awesome people, did a ton of offline things, and am feeling much better about who I am and where I’m going.

I’m glad to have this blog back up. I’m glad that I can feel better after so many many months of not. I will share the hair care things I love when I can. For photography, life, and non-hair things, you can follow me on my other blog.

And because this is a hair blog, I’ll leave you with a hair product I’ve been using and like quite a bit: L’Oreal’s Re-Nutrition Deep Moisture Mask. I’ll do a full post on it soon.
