The take down – in between protective styling

I’ve had them in for a month and even thought they still look pretty good and aren’t super itchy, I’m going to take them out. I wanted to share with you all what I do…

Hey babes! I’ve been super busy working on projects, but hopefully after this week Incan start posting consistently again. Yesterday I got my hair colored and flat ironed and I wanted to share my results and experience. I’ve been going to my beautician since high school. Lydia was the one who encouraged my natural hair journey and when it comes to color and heat, she is the only person allowed to…

Auntie Maxine couldn’t of said it any better. This has been hard for me to write and talk about because this is about me. I have lots of strengths and weaknesses. One being my ability to care. Being caring is a great characteristic to have, but it can also be a hindrance. Sometimes, I care too much. Sometimes I put my needs on hold to care about something or someone else. The worst part is,…
