Fantasia IC and I go wayyyy back, lol. I started using it in 2006 after finding Naturallycurly.com. Primarily, I used it for wash-n-go’s…I didn’t wear puffs or twist-outs very much back then. After about a year of globbing it on, my already dry ends took a turn for the worse! For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out why…this…
-How long have you been natural?I’ve been natural 13 months now. My last relaxer was almost 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back since! -What is your regimen?I co-wash every day with Suave conditioner. Once a week I deep condition with Diez en Uno, my favorite Dominican product. I then brush with my Denman and seal with castor oil….
-How long have you been natural?6 years -What is your regimen?My hair routine is quite simple. I never apply heat, I use natural products, and manipulate my hair as little as possible.

In my PJ glory days, I loved trying out new curl creams, moisturizers and stylers. I gravitated toward these two when I was attempting to wean myself off of drying gels (yes, even the ones that don’t contain cones and alcohol can be drying). I thought, how perfect , something that will hold my hair, but moisturize it too! What…
-How long have you been natural? I’ve been 100% natural for about 5 months now. I BC’d in May 2008 after a year long transition.-What is your regimen? It varies. There are two ways that I wear my hair the majority of the time. First, is twists/twistouts. When I’m wearing my hair like this, I wash with Suave Tropical Coconut…
Many of you have asked what my hair looked like when it was shorter… what it looked like before henna. Your wish is my command: The pics range from 11/2007-10/2006 (from top to bottom- the most recent ones are first). My hair in 2006 was just below shoulder length. This is 11/2007 after several henna treatments- I used SheaMoisture to…

Please find general info and my review of each product below: Nourish and Shine I’m a HUGE fan of…
