I remember the days when younger people wouldn’t dream of dying their hair grey. Actually, older women who had gray hair didn’t want grey hair. The first sign of a gray strand and they were running to the drugstore to purchase a box of “Natural Black” by some major hair care brand. Today, not only are women embracing their natural grey tresses, they are booking appointments to have their colorist transform them into silver sirens. Grey hair is definitely on trend. This ain’t your grandma’s … [Read more...]
Many of us naturals have struggled with the way our hair should be worn in the workplace, but what about head wraps and turbans? Is there an appropriate way to wear them or should they even be allowed in the office at all? I’ll be the first to admit that I was against this whole idea of head wraps in the office, unless it carried a religious meaning.

I use Africa’s Best Organics Hair Mayonnaise as my deep conditioner once a month to strengthen and moisturize my hair. The directions instruct leaving it on for 15 minutes but I prefer leaving it in overnight and washing it out in the morning. Overall the product has done wonders for my hair and has contributed … [Read more...]

Two words that brings out a certain emotion from most naturals (besides deep condition) is Wash Day. Normally setting aside a vast amount of time, or normally a day to conquer this process. We have compiled a list of wash day dos and don’ts to make the dreadful wash day a breeze. 1. DO: Detangle before you wash.

Whenever she announced that she was going to wash my hair, I immediately ran to the garden and tried to hide myself between some animals. At some point my mother got tired of this routine and … [Read more...]
The title says it all. Leaving the security of your job is petrifying, especially if you are leaving it for an unknown opportunity or something that may be a huge success or a detrimental flop. Whatever your reasoning for leaving your current job, it is scary to think about all of the terrible things that could go wrong once you leave.
