Returning to my roots has been the best experience.  I have found myself surrounded by women who encourage, support & guide me through a amazing journey. Support is easily found on the Internet not in nameless chat rooms but in videos with women who look like me, talk like me & want to truly know me.  YouTube is better than any college or cosmetology school! Users like BlackOnyx, DivaKeke76 , Naptural85 & Lexiwiththecurl (to name a few) guide you through product reviews, how to videos & answer questions we have all asked at some point!  I have never been more proud to be Black & A Woman! Twitter has open another world that allows people with the same interest to connect with tag lines like #teamnatural & #naturalhair . Locally I have found support in a group we call "Happy to be Nappy" (photo) where we meet on Facebook to share product ideas, ask questions & talk each other off the ledge when we become frustrated! We have also had a product...

Well Gel & I have been battling to be friends or at least associates for awhile now unsuccessfully.  I would continuously see my YouTube sisters rave about how their hair was defined or their curl was elongated but i couldn't duplicate it.  I recently did a review on the Ecostyler Moroccan Argon Oil Gel and the initial results were OK but then my hair dried out as it had done previously with other gels.

Welcome to review #2.  I decided to try the Eco-styler Moroccan Argan Oil Gel. The first thing i noticed was the smell...pleasant like a green apple so i will begin positively.  I didn't have the best results with the Olive oil gel in the past but I was told that the problems I encountered , the flaking, stiffness and drying out would not be there.  I began by washing, conditioning , treating  (see video) and detangling my hair in the shower. I patted my hair dry and  applied the gel by raking it through with my fingers from root to tip. I went quickly to avoid my hair becoming completely dry before i could complete my entire head. My curls are completely defined and have a beautiful shine while its wet.  As my hair begins to dry it begins to feel crunchy so I spray it with the Shea Moisture Oil Mist i purchased earlier this week. I did see improvement but there was still some stiffness.  Overall i think if you want a...
