Hi-Lites in My Sisterlocks

A few weeks ago, I had this sudden urge for something different with my hair, but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do. After a lot of thought and research I decided to Hi-Lite my Sisterlocks! Big deal, right?!

The days leading up to my Hair Appointment (of course I went to a Salon), I was really anxious, even having nightmares about my hair. LOL! But seriously, one night I dreamt that I put conditioner in my hair and all my Sisterlocks unraveled...very traumatic, but they were all still there in the morning! So when the day finally came, I was nervous but excited for the change as well! 

Bantu Knots on TWA

One of my good friends did the Big Chop a few months ago and her TWA is starting to grow out of the "Wash-N-Go" phase and she was looking for a new style; so I suggested Bantu Knots. They're relatively  easy to do and give great curl definition when you take them out. She was skeptical of doing them, so of course I volunteered to do her first set for her!

Chai Tea Shampoo Bar Review

A few weeks ago, at the Baltimore Natural Hair Expo [HERE], I picked up a few shampoo bars from the Pure Shea Store. Up until this point, I had never used a shampoo bar on my Sisterlocks, although I have tried the OyinHandmade Poo Bar on my Loose Natural Hair [HERE] and loved the results, so I was anxious to try it on my Sisterlocks. 

The NuGrowth Book Club is Official!

My vision for the NuGrowth Book Club is to build knowledge within the natural hair community by reading and discussing Non-Fiction African-American Literature about Culture & Beauty. Initially, I was going to have the NuGrowth Book Club solely online, but I love the in-person interaction and sense of community, so I'm going to do BOTH! You can join the NuGrowth Book Club by subscribing to the mailing list [HERE] or below.
