A Review of Eden Body Works Curl Defining Cream on 4a/4b Hair
Eden Body Works Curl Defining Cream is amazing! It works wonders on my 4a/4b hair. Lately, I’ve been looking for a curl definer that’s not going to break the bank and it’ll be something I can use on my hair without it being wet. I’m not much of a wash-n-go person because I don’t like ...
My Wash Day Routine (on 4a/4b hair)

Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream…Yay or Nay?
So, I never actually bought this product; my older brother gave me his spare container when he came down to visit. I really wanted to like this product, being a fan of Taliah Waajid in general, but I didn’t. Initial Thoughts: I opened the jar and the cream was very THICK. The jar said I ...
The Importance of the Natural Hair Movement
There was a time when big Afros were a craze in the 1960s, but this brief movement was politically motivated in the time of the Black Panther Party. Today, the natural hair movement is an extension of what was started in the 2000s. I believe this movement is vital in today’s day and age because it’s ...
