It's winter in Cali, which means the early mornings and evenings are chilly, with mild to warm mid-days, and full on sunshine all day!

This outfit is a by-product of the need to be comfortable, stay warm early in the day, peel off some layers during lunch and stay warm during that chilly evening walk to the car.

This was my first ever attempt at a braid-out, and I've been loc'd for almost 5 years! Some might be surprised by this, but my favorite part of locs is how low maintenance they are, and elaborate hairstyles can be a laid back buzz kill. Nonetheless, I gave it a try and though the results were not as defined and short lived (because I didn't use a setting lotion), I would try it again.

A week ago, Head & Shoulders sent me a few products for a line tailored to and for women with textured hair. Head & Shoulders is all about living life head first — this means shampoos and conditioners that work in perfect harmony to care for your tresses from scalp to tip!


Head & Shoulders' brand continues to develop products that provide superior scalp care without sacrificing the beauty benefits of leading cosmetic shampoos. In fact, the Moisture Care Collection:
  • Provides moisture for scalp and hair immediately and over time, helping to eliminate dandruff and leaving you 100% flake-free 
  • Is specifically designed for textured hair 
  • Includes a shampoo, 2-in-1, co-wash and scalp soother 
  • Main ingredients include vitamin E rich almond oil, coconut essence and dandruff-fighting ingredient zinc pyrithione (ZPT) 
Though I haven't struggled terribly with dandruff, my sister definetely has from time to time! So my sister Lissa joined me in testing  the cleansing, conditioning and styling products in the collection. Over the course of a week she really noticed a difference in some of her build-up areas around the perimeter of her scalp!
