Well, since I haven’t touched a flat iron in a year and a half, I thought I’d leave it up to the experts 😀 Ms. HeatherNicole of naturallycurly.com has amazingly awesome curly hair and equally amazing straight hair! I’ll be spotlighting her luscious curls at some point…

Giovanni Direct Leave-In

By Curly Nikki 3 Comments

Across the hair boards, this product is very well liked. However, my short stint with it was anything but positive. As I’ve stated before, my fine strands are very sensitive to protein- my hair gets hard, brittle and generally horrible to deal with. Giovanni Direct contains Soybean Protein, and my curls protested something fierce. The light consistency left my curls…

-How long have you been natural? It will be 6 years come December of this year (2008). My last relaxer was around late June of 2002, so I had transitioned for 5/6 months. -What is your regimen?

Qhemet Amla and Olive Heavy Cream

By Curly Nikki 7 Comments

Get it here. I think Suburbanbushbabe said it best when she described Qhemet’s Amla and Olive Heavy Cream as ‘rain in a jar’. It was her rave reviews and Teshon’s on naturallycurly.com that prompted me to try it (among other products, lol). Like Teshon, I’m a fine haired, protein sensitive curly. I need heavy moisture to maintain health and retain…

Seasonal Shedding

By Curly Nikki 2 Comments
