In my quest for healthier hair, I decided to experiment with an Ayurvedic approach. I did some research on it and I saw that others who used the powders (Henna, Cassia, Amla, etc.) were getting great results. So on a recent trip to the Indian grocery store, I saw three powders, which I thought would be interesting to try: Amla, Brahmi, and Shikakai.
The powders are manufactured by Hesh and are said to have the following properties. . .

Bonjour, mes amies!
I really love raw shea butter. It has done wonders for my skin, especially this winter. My skin was so dry to the point of itching and irritation. Ugochi recommended using raw shea butter and since using it I haven’t looked back. However, since the weather is warming up, pure raw shea butter is a bit thick for me. I needed a lighter mix to use. So, I decided to make my own whipped shea butter mix using some nourishing oils. . .

Earlier this month, Carol’s Daughter invited the Beauty 365 team to learn more about Transitioning Movement.
We learned that more and more women are transitioning from relaxers to natural hair. The relaxed hair market has been rapidly declining. We were informed that is has decreased from over $100 million to $35 million in sales.
Despite the declining market, there is no packaged kit or localized resources addressing the issues involved with transitioning to natural hair. . .

Disclaimer: I am not a hair scientist, cosmetologist, or anything of that sort. However, I do have an extensive science background and I have reviewed a vast amount of literature. With this information, I will explain this topic as clearly as possible.
There’s plenty of talk about hair porosity on the Internet and hair forums but there aren’t always clear explanations of the science. This series is aimed to give you a simple and clear explanation of the science of hair.
Porosity is defined as “the ability to absorb fluids”[1]. It is typically described in relative terms. . .

In January 2011, I got box braids and I was really excited because I hadn’t had them in a long while. I wanted a break from maintaing my relaxed hair. The previous time I had braids was in early 2008 and my hair did pretty well after taking them out.
That was not the case this time. My hairline was WRECKED and my relaxed hair was really thin and breaking. . .

I am usually very loyal when it comes to exfoliators.
When I was a teenager, I was an avid user of St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I was in my price point (e.g. CHEAP) but very rough and harsh on my skin. . .

One of my favorite beauty products I discovered while living in Nigeria is black soap.
My personal favorite brand is Dudu Osun by Tropical Naturals. The ingredients for this soap are honey, shea butter, camwood, palm kernel oil, cocoa pod ash, palm bunch ash, aloe vera, lime juice, water and fragrance. . .

Burt’s Bees invited Ugochi, Stephanee, and me to a holiday party earlier this month. It was truly a lovely experience. We were able to see the myriad of Burt’s Bees products in various rooms throughout a beautiful New York City loft.
Burt’s Bees has some exciting gift sets for the Holiday Season. They have combined some of their most popular products in adorable containers and bags…

Hello B365 readers!
Recently, Stephanee and I were lucky enough to represent Beauty 365 at the launch of Carol’s Daughter’s new Chocolät Smoothing Collection…
The collection is designed to physically rebuild hair structure by softening and smoothing each strand. The collection consists of three steps: Chocolät Smoothing Shampoo, Conditioner, and Blow Dry Cream. The products contain Keravis, which is a plant-protein that physically rebuilds hair by filling in lifted cuticles.
I just want to let you know that I HATE blow-drying my hair at home. My arms get so tired and my hair does not get the texture that I like…
