Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks

  Week 1 — From Summer Curls to Fall Coils Preparing 3C–4C Natural Hair for the Change of Season There’s something about the changing of the seasons that makes me want to take inventory. We change our clothes.  We put away some of our summer favorites.  We pull out the sweaters, boots, scarves, and deeper fall colors. But what about our hair? Our natural hair goes through seasonal transitions too.  The routine that worked beautifully during the hot, humid days of summer may need a little tweaking as we move into the cooler, drier days of fall. And if you have followed Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks for a while, you may remember that I have had my share of adventures with natural hair—and yes, quite a few adventures with hair products too!  I went natural in 2010, and one thing I have learned is this: Natural hair is not something you master once and never have to think about again. Our hair changes. Our lifestyles change. The seasons change.  And as we mat...

  DOUX Pop Lock This is a new product by The Doux.Com.  This product boosts that it will give your hair:  shine, definition, it resists humidity but most of all "keep curls Poppin" for days! What's in the product?  Honey, Argan Oil, Keratin Amino Acids, and Silk Amino Acids. I picked up the product after coming across some YouTube reviews by some Natural Hair Content Creators.  I liked what I saw and decided to take a trip to Walmart to pick the product up.  There were plenty of bottles on the shelf.  My first observation was the size of the bottle.  It is 8 fluid ounces but looked quite small a bottle to tackle the task of a Wash N' Go! This product is part of The Doux Wash And Go Collection.  The price of the bottle varies from $12.99 to $15.99 and can be found at places like Walmart and Sally's.  This product can also be purchased from The Doux's website for $14.99. This item is described as a 5-Day Curl Forming Glaze.  On their ...

Now that the winter is upon us, the need for a change in our hair routine is also necessary.  Things that we should adjust: Wash Hair Less Often . Use this time to “leave your hair alone” or give it a winter rest. Less shampooing means less manipulation, product build-up, and gives you a lead way to employ protective styling.        Pay Attention to Your Scalp .   Use a scalp treatment like “Jane Carter’s Scalp Nourishing Serum” to energize your scalp while protecting against bacteria and fungus.        Do not Forget to Moisture at Night .  Using a clear, conditioning cap will do the trick.   Lightly spritz your hair with water or your favorite liquid leave-in, cover with cap, and wrap with a scarf and you will wake of with slightly damp hair that you can shake and go.        Deep Condition Your Tresses .   Winter is harsh on the body and hair.   Take time to pamper your hair w...

$4.86 Walmart/$5.37 Amazon.com for 25 fl. ounces When I first Big Chopped and had about an all over inch of hair on my head, grooming my tresses was easy and carefree.  At that time, however, I used a lot of gel.  I didn't mind then because I redid my hair EVERYDAY by jumpimp in the shower, applying my leave-in and then using my hands to smooth through the gel. As my hair continued to get longer, I realized that I had to change my routine.  I than tried YouTuber MahoghanyCurls method of "only" using her conditioner as a leave-in and "styler."  My hair grew nicely and continued to retain length. I then started writing my blog and started trying out different products.  Looking for the "Holy Grail" product that would make my daily routine and regiment simply, easy, and effective.  Until one day I realized that my hair wasn't retaining the moisture like it had been when I was using the "Only Conditioner" method.   So, I deci...
