If I was forced to pick one type of hair product and forsake all others, I'd pick  deep conditioners every time! They are jammed-packed with beneficial ingredients that can cleanse, moisturize and seal! 

On this episode of Curl Talk It Out, I spoke with Crystal of @worldofshawofficial and asked her about the characteristics we should look for when shopping for a good deep conditioner. She had some really great tips that I hadn't even considered before! Check out our new episode! 

Detangling does not need to be a night anymore!

More specifically this chick! 

Hair can be tricky and unpredictable but it's definitely not rocket science. All it takes is being aware of own hair. I asked Jess of @kinkykurlybabe, "Do you have any tips that can help naturals determine (even before buying the product or testing the method) whether it will be successful for THEM?" and she had some good tips to share that she learned from her own personal journey that I think will really help you out! So tune in!

I never did the big chop and I think it was more of a mindset barrier so I have so much respect for the ones who've taken the plunge and committed to a radical hairstyle change! You are the chosen ones because every big chop experience is different and can feel like you're in the dark for a bit as you learn about your reborn hair! Today I'm talking with LaRhonda of @thecurltakeover_ as she talks about hers and specifically how she got over the hump to just GO for it (and it's kind of funny lol)! Take a listen.

This is for all my multi-textured naturalistas. Which is actually many if not most of us! Don't give you hair the one-size-fits-all treatment, it's important to take the time to know every strand so you can use your products in the right way. Yes I'll say it again, knowing the characteristics of our hair helps us determine *how to use hair products* so tune in with JaCole (@coleworlds.curls) and I as she shares how she cares for her multi-textured hair!
