I’m not an addict, and I don’t claim to be a guru. The truth
of the matter is, I only started wearing make up at the age of 18/19– a fact
that’s completely laughable to my younger make-up toting sisters. By then,
everyone I knew was a total pro – they knew what to wear and when to wear it
whilst I struggled with art of applying eyeliner without poking myself in the
eye.
When it comes to my hair, I’ve always been natural but have
never really known what to do with my tightly wound curls that love nothing
more than to role into a frizz ball – and I’m not talking cute afro here, I’m
talking a veritable hot mess.* Right now I’m in a bit of a blow dry rut but
deep down I’d love to rock my curls with pride.
So here I am, writing a blog to document my attempt to wade
through a minefield of hair and beauty products in an attempt to find what
works for me. I’m always tempted by new products but am usually held back from experimenting
but am usually held back by one question. Will
that work on my afro skin/hair? Which is probably just a bit of a cop out
cause I’m a total a chicken! The plan? To find my staples, a core collection of
lotions and potions that work for me, my hair, my skin, my shade.
Wish me luck!
