How to shingle hair

Kelis pictured here with shingled hair I've been asked how to shingle hair MANY times before. The funny thing is that once I explain the process, most people already know what it is however they do not know that it is called shingling.  Shingling hair is a method of achieving curl through layering of product on sections of hair. doing this locks in moisture and maintains a “wet” look.If you want to achieve this look simply...

Stress and Hair Loss

We’ve all been there before. It’s the last of the month-bill week. You open what should be a $40.00 bill only to find that once again they (whomever ‘they’ may be-most of the time Rogers in my case) have over charged you and your bill is now $200.00. Then you feel it, that vein on the side of your head throbbing as your once manageable mood soars to uncontrollable heights. Stress sets in. If you Google the word stress you will get a pretty...

Wasaga Beach 2012

My fave Wasaga pic Wasaga beach! Ah what can’t I say about this place? It’s amazing, from the locals to the entertainment, Wasaga is a great place to be-not to mention it is the longest fresh water beach in all the world!  I spent about a week in total in Wasaga and I really wish I had got more pictures. Most of my time was spent lounging on the beach and luckily I had my Coconoix butter cream to help keep my hair moisturised!  This...

South Asia fest

Yesterday I had a blast at the south east Asian festival. There was tons of food and not to mention entertainment! We started out with some amazing almond and pistachio ice cream on a stick (the best type of ice cream I have ever encountered let alone tried). As we walked down Gerard we heard the sounds of South Asia as our nostrils were filled with the tantalizing scent of fresh curries and sweet pastries. We...

Unlock Your Dreads!

After a while it can get a little tiring to keep up and some people say enough is enough! Over time having to pay for a loctition to re-twist your dreads can be costly, coupled with care products. Not to mention that if twisted to tightly to...

Dread Washing!

Ever heard this “don’t get dreads, they are dirty!” I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say that dreads are “dirty” when in all reality dreads are just like any other hair style- though, will admit they are QIITE high maintenance. So where does the misconception of dreads being dirty come from? Well if we look back we can see that during the 60’s and 70’s there were a group of people known as hippies. Bare with me. Hippies...

Dreads!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your summer and remembering to stay moisturised and hydrated ^^. So lately I have been getting a few questions in my inbox on dreads. First off I want to define exactly what a “dread” is. Haile Selassie and his pet lion Many people forget that dreads are a type of hair style and not a people. When referring to a group of people with dreads in the religious sense, one would say Rastafarian or Rasta....

Taboo questions

No matter what ethnicity you are you can probably think of more than one occasion where someone has asked you a question about your hair that has made you a bit uncomfortable. I can’t express how many times I have wanted to just tell someone off because of their ignorance especially in high school. Some of the most common questions and comments people ask and say are.... “Can I touch your hair?” I have been asked this one almost all...
