Why I went Natural
I started getting chemical relaxers when I was a small child. My mother would relax my hair a few times a year. Once I became a teenager, I learned how to apply the "creamy crack" on my own. I was so used to it by this time. I would retouch the roots every 6 weeks to 2 months. Yes, it was excessive but this was all I knew about hair. I considered my hair still natural because I didn't wear a weave most of the time. I tried extension braids a couple of times as well as ponytail weaves. I even tried drawstring wigs when I was a young adult. But the majority of my life, I wore my real hair but in a permanent straight look.

Is Hair Transplant The Best Option To Stop Receding Hairline?
Hair loss is a global issue and is equally demotivating and traumatising mentally and emotionally. Pattern baldness referred to as “androgenic alopecia” usually happens due to an interplay of three crucial features: Genetics, Hormones and Age. The factors are common in both the genders however the difference is in the pattern of hair loss.

Review Senka Perfect Whip
At first glance, my current face condition tends to be oily (oily skin), dull, slightly structured, and dehydrated. But strangely, on my oily face, pimples rarely appear, mostly just pimples on the forehead area that start to appear when my skin indicates rejecting a product. So to minimize dull and stubborn oil in the face area, I started to take the initiative to replace facial soap.

A Rant About Mask-ne
Gosh darn dimma-dammit. Why is this happening. I have had acne since I was maybe eleven or twelve years old. Pimples, blackheads, cystic pimples, dry patches and an oily T line to be exact. It was so greaaaaat. Acne haunted me through my teenage years, always there on dates, peer events, and in photos. I definitely think that I suffered emotionally from it, and was also bullied as a result of my acne. I remember crying in the bathroom at middle school because some of the popular kids had nicknamed me the Pizza Face Case.

New Year, New Skin – Leave Bad Skincare Routine in 2020!
New year, new life! – sounds like a perfect New Year’s resolution and, yet the chances to accomplish it are at all a time low. We now have been under quarantine restrictions for almost a year, thus our lives are limited within the scope of four walls. Of course, national lockdown does have some advantages – more time for us, and for the family, time for our hobbies and new things, new pets and new tasty home-made dishes, etc. On the other hand, we haven’t seen our friends eye-to-eye for a long time, we had to celebrate the biggest celebrations alone, and some people even lost their jobs due to the ongoing pandemic.

Going from Long Hair to Short Hair, as a Woman
It's probably taboo to talk about, but I feel as though every woman has had the thought, "what would I look like if I shaved off all my hair?" Some women naturally rock this look. Make-up or no make-up they never lose their feminine nature and it just looks good on them. Pop-culture dictates that if you shave your head as a women you're going through your '2000s Brittany phase." And in some instances it's possible, repeating history is truly never off the table even when it comes to celebrities and their breakdowns.

Can Beauty Come Out of Ashes?
Celine Dion asked a question in her song "Ashes" - Can the beauty come out of ashes? If we try to answer this question on a literal basis, the answer is Yes. Ashes can indeed be an ingredient in your skincare recipe. Yes, you read it right. Many different types of ashes found all over the world can be utilized to make your skin "better." Don't confuse "better" with "fair," and I think it's high time to avoid using these terms. Anyways, let's talk about what do I mean by better skin without digressing further.

Natural Hair Care Tips: 4 Gems That Will Help You In Your Journey
A couple of years ago, I submitted an article to Vocal providing tips and tricks for natural hair beginners; you can view that here. I've been wearing my hair naturally for almost ten years, and I've had the first-hand experience of the trails and error one woman must endure getting the same hairstyle you have seen on Instagram and YouTube tutorials. After spending hundreds of dollars on products and tools, I've concluded that I wasted valuable time and money. I love to share my current findings with the natural hair community. Let's face it, corporations are here for one reason and one reason only, and that is to make money. Their job is to sell you a product so they can get rich. Your favorite companies do not have your best interest at heart. Having Instagram has changed my life when it comes to caring for my natural hair. I've been following Jennifer-Rose for over four years. I saw her initially collaborating with one of the originals of the natural hair community Taren Guy. I loved Jennifer-Rose because she didn't hold any punches with the truth and how to care for our hair. Her passion exudes through her videos, and she genuinely cares about her clients. After following her on Instagram and using her tips, I've cut down on my hairstyling time. Here are the four valuable pieces of information to help you through your natural hair journey.
