Color Smart: 4 Things You Should Consider Before You Color Your Natural Hair

by Audrey Sivasothy of The Science of Black Hair

Taking your hair to the next level with color can be a really exciting experience. Color can jazz up a boring puff, add dimension to locs and twistouts or really turn heads as a simple statement piece on TWAs. While going darker, adding lowlights or coloring within your natural color range won’t cause you too many problems—the drastic color leaps upward (more than 3 shades beyond your natural color) can really take a toll on your hair. Before you engage in any hair altering experience, first understand and weigh the risks. Never ever color your hair on a whim or without a gameplan for aftercare. Finally, decide if you trust yourself enough to do it yourself. Be honest with yourself and say, Self— do you really know what you are doing? What if this color is unsuccessful? Am I prepared for breakage? Am I prepared for a weird color result? Before you take the color plunge, here are some things to consider.

Product Review : Curls With Care

Hey Curlies!  I promised to post this review about a New Natural hair line ''Curls with Care" and so here it is! 

First of all let me give you a little background of the products in general.

"Curls With Care is a all natural hair and body care company. based in Toronto, Ontario. 

All of our products are:

• Made in Canada
• Made with natural and certified organic ingredients
• Vegan and Gluten-free where possible
• Biodegradable
• Cruelty-free
• Petroleum, Silicone, Sulphate, Alcohol, Paraben, & SLS Free 
• Safe and non-toxic
• Packaged in recyclable material

What more could you ask for in a all Natural product!  I was so excited to be able to meet with the creator of this Company as well as the privilege to work with her and to try out her products. 

The products I got were Holy Grail Premium Conditioner, Fresh Start which is a Invigorating hair Mud wash (My Fav) , Coco Bliss , and Sealed which are both hair and body serums.
  I wet my hair and used the Fresh Start Mud wash on my scalp only to desolve any build up I had. I then wrapped my hair for about 20 mins then rinsed with my regualr shampoo, and my hair and scalp came out pretty clean without feeling stripped.

I Used the Holy Grail Conditioner to detangle. Now! one thing with my hair is that it loves thick conditioners and lots of slip (silicone) to really detangle my Kinks, But this conditioner has no Silicone yet I was able to comb through my hair easily and I love the thick consistency of it ,plus it has all these natural ingredients that my hair needs like : coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, tea tree oil and the list goes on.. so I must say it is a HOLY GrAiL Conditioner!

I then decided to flat twist my hair damp using my shea butter mixture and the CoCo Bliss serum which has coconut oil and Jojoba oil in it to seal in the moisture . and of course I love anything with Coconut oil so I loved this serum. (used some on my legs too).

flat twist with CoCo Bliss

It came out a little too fluffy for my liking but I still love the waves and definition.

so in conclusion I'll definitely use these products again and will easily become staples in my wash routine!
