Hola Chicas! I’m a huge fan of green drinks, but since I’m preggers, I’m taking a prenatal. I researched vitamins the same way I did natural hair, and decided that Rainbow Light One (a food based vitamin– some argue that these are better than the ones that contain minerals and vitamins chemically derived in a lab) would be one of…
Remember the ridiculously beautiful and wholly natural Zhara?! Well she’s back to share a very special recipe with the CurlyNikki community. Zhara’s Hairsational Organic Herbal Hairgrowth Tea!!!!!! Healthy nutrition and exercise are definitely the most important part of your natural hair care regime in my opinion.What goes in the body is a good refection of what comes out; physically, mentally…
Last weekend, I posted pictures from my shopping spree. I re-upped most of my hair products, and bought another bottle of Trader Darwin’s (Trader Joe’s Brand) Super Crusade. I received several emails asking if I’ve switched multis. I haven’t. I’ve been taking Trader Darwin’s since I started the blog at the end of last year. Here is the review I…
Those of you that know me, know that I NEVER work on Friday. It’s my ‘maintain the sanity’ day, so that I’m better positioned to help my client’s maintain theirs!

I ran across THIS article, and thought you mixtresses out there may find the following helpful. For those of you that don’t concoct your own spritzes,…

SAO, used as a carrier oil for blending essential oils, is beneficial for the skin, hair, and has overall health advantages as well. It can be used as an effective massage oil, and many use it to treat under eye bags, and eczema. For hair, moisten your fingertips…
In the cyber world, there are several concoctions and magical serums floating around that promise to swiftly grow your hair to great lengths. I’m not in the position to review any of them…not even Boundless Tresses, which I used intermittently for 2 weeks. I believe that growth happens from the inside out…Obviously, we can’t override our genes, but we can…
People are always asking me if I take vitamins and mineral supplements to achieve growth. Well, I do. I’m not really into ‘length’ as much as I’m in to BIG HAIR. But obviously, big hair comes with more length. So, I’ve been popping pills since March 2008, and I hate swallowing pills. My dream hair: I love her length, fullness…
