I mostly stray from the tenants proposed by the curly girl method but it makes sense, just soooo much sense, not to use harsh shampoos on our delicate coils. I heard this waaaay back in 2003 and tri...

I pressed my hair again! on a whim the day after my birthday. It turned out well last time with no damage and I was bored and needed to wash out the failed birthday hair anyway. I spoke too soon in ...
