CURLS Passion Fruit Control Paste

Ok, It's my turn! I completely concur that CURLS Passion Fruit Control Paste is AMAZING not to mention it smells great! But since I'm a naturalista, I have a different take on its amazingness! First and foremost, I love its versatility because not only will it lay down your edges but it will also define your natural kinks, curls, & coils! I love the consistency of the paste, it is NOT sticky or pasty which is critical when applying a control paste and it does not flake. This paste also adds shine to your hair without it appearing greasy. Also, this product will last a long time because you do not need much to achieve the look you want whether it's a natural top bun or a twist-out! I definitely recommend all my naturals girls out there to try CURLS curl control paste! You can find this product at your local Target, it is only $7.99!  Let me know what you think!

Take Heed Ladies: Heat Damage is Alive and Well

What's up to all the natural hair ladies out there! I'm one of the seemingly few ladies out here that still relaxes their hair, but I am always listening and learning new things about the natural hair journey. Everything from homemade products, protective styles, twist outs, Bantu knots, curling puddings, super expensive, but supposedly tried and true products, and of course, using NO HEAT or MINIMAL HEAT. FOR ALL LADIES (yes, all ladies), be very aware and careful of the amount of heat you put on your hair. But specifically my natural girls, beware of the impact it can have on your hair and natural curl pattern. Everyone is different, but it's better to be cautious than sorry. Check out what happened to this young lady below. How have you combated heat damage in the past or how are you currently combating heat damage? Share your tips and tricks!
