AZ mom's adventures creating a curly hair love affair for myself, my sweet curly girl and my rambunctious curly boy.
Wouldn't it be interesting if Disney remade the movie "Tangled" with a little curly-haired girl whose hair was as long as that tower? Guaranteed new plot twists, drama and major tears as that witch pretending to be her mom combed out her hair! Why does this resonate with me?! I’m ALWAYS on the hunt for… Continue reading Tangled
Yesterday was Day 16 on my #whole30round2 journey so I was annoyed, over all approved snacks and really missed sugar in my coffee. But I’m not quitting!! Things got better because I had a great spiral zucchini faux pasta dish my dope husband made. Then I looked in the mirror after pulling my hair up… Continue reading Not Quitting Whole 30 Nor My Curl Journey
I remember the day we found out we were having a baby girl like it was yesterday. I was laying down on the ultrasound table and Eugene (my husband) was standing behind me to the left. I remember Dr. Amaya saying "you're having a girl"!! I can't recall exactly what I said or did in… Continue reading Real Dads Do Curly Hair
Years ago a coworker told me her best friend (who is a curly girl) did not shampoo her hair. I thought it was weird but didn't think much more of it at the time. But I never forgot what I heard. Not too long after I purchased Curly Girl: The Handbook. I learned about the… Continue reading I Stopped Shampooing
Wash day. It's a phrase that most of the curly/natural moms and kids I know dread. No, I'm not talking about the six loads of laundry with pockets full of sand and unidentifiable stains on the clothes the kids just got for Christmas. This is about telling your five-year old's glorious, curly mane that to… Continue reading Wash Day

I met this beauty my freshman… Continue reading Curly Connoisseur: Kimberly
Admittedly, I'm a lazy curly girl. Perhaps lazy is not completely true or the right word to use. I have every intention in the morning to co-wash, deep condition and diffuse my hair every other day or so, BUT as the illustrious lady in the news clip/meme so eloquently said "ain't nobody got time for… Continue reading When Hair Imitates Life
I'm not exactly sure when it started, perhaps before college, but for years I associated a professional look with having straight hair. It's not like I thought curls were unprofessional, I just thought people took you more seriously when your hair was not curly. In college, I studied journalism and wanted to be a news anchor.… Continue reading The Professionalism of Curls
My granddaddy is 94 years old. Physically he is still pretty solid and mentally he has the memory of an iPhone 7. He can recall dates/times of exactly where he was overseas during WWII or what was happening the moment he walked to the preacher's house with my grandma to get married, without anyone knowing.… Continue reading Are y’all combing the boy’s hair?
