Product Feedback

Hey Chicas! How is your hair journey going?

I want to introduce this Coconut Cowash by As I Am. This product is amazing!!! So I just had to let you know about this product!

As you know I am very big on NOT shampooing my hair very often. I don't want to strip the hair from its natural oils. Even though I use non sulfate shampoo I would still only shampoo my hair once a month. Well, lately my scalp have started to itch a lot and it got to the point were I decided to use Head & Shoulders one time to see would that help with itching, but it didn't.

So one day I was watching MahoganyCurls on YouTube and she talks about using the Coconut CoWash, so I decided to try it! I could not be more satisfied! This product is absolutely a product that I would continue to purchase. This product is a replacement for shampoo. After I washed my hair with the CoWash, I still used my Trader Joes Conditioner to detangle. The CoWash made my hair super soft, it felt clean and my scalp do not itch anymore! I was very pleased to see that I did not have to use a lot of the product, so I know this 16oz jar will last me a while.

I washed my hair like I would normally do. I separated my hair in 4 sections and soaked my hair with water. I mainly massage my scalp with the Coconut CoWash and worked it into the rest of the hair. I made sure I rinsed out all the CoWash before I applied my Trader Joe's Conditioner to detangle.

I got this product at Sally's beauty supply for $7.99. I also saw it on Amazon for the same price.

Do you oil your hair daily?



If you don't oil your hair daily, you are missing a vital hair maintenance! We have tightly coiled hair that is fragile and gets extremely tangled. Keeping the hair moisturized helps soften the hair and lessen it from any breakage from the use of shampoos, combing, and styling. Also the longer the hair grows the dryer the end of the hair gets, so oiling the ends of the hair daily is very important for split ends. If you don't have split ends then you don't have to trim the hair. The last time I cut my hair was a year ago. I never really have to cut my hair ever since I gave up weekly use of flat ironing, oil daily, and do heatless styles.

Hot oil Treatments are great for the hair before or after shampooing. Saturating the hair with oil, place a plastic cap over the hair and seat under the dryer. The heat will lift up the hair cuticles and allow the oil to penetrate the hair shaft. This is great to help with dry scalp, prevent breakage and split ends, this is definitely a must if you use relaxers or straighten all the time.

Soooooo u know that I use the African Pride Olive oil mix from Sally beauty supply, right? So I decided to take it a little further and create my own Shea butter cream...I'll let you know how it goes and be sure to post a video!

Natural Heads Stand Confident

Don't let people's negative comments deter you from rocking your natural curl pattern. Being natural is more than just healthy hair, for African-American women we were always taught to use relaxers and never taught to accept our kinky hair. Our hair is beautiful just the way it is, altering it to make it straight doesn't make it better hair.

African-American people are so different than other ethnicity. We come in all skin shades and beautiful hair textures. We are just amazing; rather you know it or not.

For those with a more curly and courser hair type, I have news for you because I know you get the most heat for going natural. Your hair is awesome! The fact that your hair have tighter curls and is courser, you can style your hair and it last longer than a person with a looser curl texture. You can do so much more styles with your hair than any other hair textures. You just have no idea! So be confident, different and have fun with styling your natural hair!

Below is a Hair Type Chart. This is helpful when purchasing styling hair product.

*This post was inspired by my cousin that relaxed her hair after listening to negative comments toward the texture of her hair.

I'm a Transitioner



Yes, that's right! Im a transitioner! I never had the courage to do the BC (big chop). Luckily I did not have a bad outcome of not cutting it out. I know there are some that experience a lot of breakage or the relaxed hair and natural hair is not blending well. So it just depend on the hair if you should cut or not....or if u have the courage too! lol.

While I was tranistioning I was initially flat ironing my hair every week! That was so bad and I didn't know all the damage I was doing to my hair. That heat is the worse! My hair was always dry which resulted to breakage and split ends so I was always going to clip my ends. So I decided to make a change, and go without flat ironing. I start using Cold Wave Rods. I loved them! I had a really cute curly fro that last forever. Now since my hair is much more longer, my hair take forever to dry and I never have time to seat under a dryer.

So the best way to cover up that little new growth when you have a lot of relaxed hair is to use rods!
