Trying to detangle my thick and coily hair can sometimes become quite daunting.  Because of this, I am always looking for ways to make the entire process easier. I was intrigued by this product that claimed to make everyday detangling fast and painless. My curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to test the claims of the Remington "Tame the Mane" Electric Detangling Brush.  Would it help me detangle my thick bush quickly and free of pain??? First Impression The cost of the product is set around $20 and can be purchased  HERE . When I received the product, I noticed a little blonde girl with long curly hair on the packaging.  This did not make me confident in the results to say the least...but I digress. The product is a vibrant purple with teeth that made me extremely nervous about putting it anywhere near my hair.  The detangling brush is cordless and takes batteries, which is definitely a plus.  This means that you can "tame the mane" on the go.   ...

Benny Harlem quickly grew in popularity due to images like these going viral on Instagram.   Women everywhere began fawning over Harlem's chiseled cheekbones and of course the beautiful hair that adorns his head. I still remember the iconic photo that made him and his daughter an internet sensation.  It was a beautiful representation of Black Love shared between father and daughter.  I will admit, when I first saw this picture,  I was blown away! I thought Benny Harlem and his baby girl deserved to be on someone's magazine cover.

A t some point in our Natural Hair journey we have all heard of the signature Deva Cut that could help get your curls into formation. That signature cut was developed and implemented by DevaCurl.  DevaCurl has now become known for what I consider luxury hair care products.  Most of their products range from $20 to $60... so yes, the prices can be very steep.  Oh My GIF from Antm GIFs Source: DevaCurl Because of the luxury prices, I have been afraid to try out the DevaCurl hair products.  Fortunately for me, I was recently sent one DevaCurl's newest products to try out, Super Stretch - the Coconut Curl Elongator. Disclaimer - I did receive this complimentary, but this will have no bearing on my honest review!  The Claims DevaCurl Claims that Super Stretch "weightlessly elongates curls and maintains definition" . The website states that the product is " Versatile and lightweight, this styler has a rich velvety texture that the provides the mo...

Photographed by Tyler Mitchell, Vogue, 2018  W e all know how rare it is for Beyoncé, the Queen of everything (if you ask me), to give interviews or speak publicly on private matters.  We usually have to try to decipher her life through pictures, body language, and song lyrics... I'm looking at you, Lemonade.    That's why I am in total shock and glee that Beyoncé is gracing the September issue of VOGUE and she decided to give readers a glimpse into her life.  When Beyoncé covered Vogue Magazine in 2015, the magazine was unable to interview the powerhouse singer.  This time around, Beyoncé is sharing intimate details surrounding her pregnancy, body image, breaking down barriers, and much, much more in her own words. BODY POSITIVITY While I found the whole piece by Beyoncé moving and inspirational, I thought that  it was very important to highlight her thoughts and views regarding her body image.  Due to the nature of this blog and my own stance on body acceptance, I wa...
