Hello folks… BGLHer Natalie throws out a great question.
I’m a lifelong natural who has only just (over the past year or so) learned how to take care of my hair… I was wondering if you could ask the naturalistas out there what deep conditioner they use. I’m now fully CG (curly girl — no shampoo, [...]

This conditioner [...]

Yummy, yummy, in my tummy and my hair! ^_^
Don’t be surprised, beloved readers. Like honey (see my review) and Blackstrap molasses (see my review), maple syrup is a humectant. What’s a humectant?
Behold!

Yes, beloved readers…I’ve finally tried it. Giovanni’s Direct Leave-in.

Beloved readers, I used the shampoo for this line ages ago. I have (finally) gotten around to trying its coordinating conditioner, this month.
I swing between “Natural Ingredients Are the Best!” and “I Fear No Silicones!”, in my product choices. I was having a “back to nature” moment in my hair care journey when I purchased [...]

This, beloved readers is a great staple add-in for deep conditions, if you want to stick your pinky-toe into the world of Ayurveda for hair care (Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine native to the Indian Subcontinent and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine.)
I must wax some [...]
Beloved readers, I’ve waxed poetic before in several posts about the benefits of aloe. I’ve even dedicated a post solely to its benefits. (Coming next week!)
I adore aloe as a moisturizer, holding gel, curl-definer, shine spray, softener and scalp soother. It works well in a variety of forms and in this case: a spray.
I love [...]
Question for J from Chandra:
Hello Jenteel,
Thank you thank you thank you for your blog I must say first and foremost. I really can’t thank you enough for all of the great information and inspiration. I am a singer songwriter currently living in Germany but from Florida. I have struggled with my hair [...]
