Restore the Luster to Your Hair with Living Proof Timeless Collection from Ulta

February 29, 2016 by Alisha 2 Comments

*Disclosure:  This post was sponsored by Ulta as part of a Blog Blast Activation for Influence Central. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.*

As much as I would like to tell Father Time to let Sybil (my hair) and I just be great, I realize that is no longer an option.  We constantly torture our hair in the name of beauty. As those pesky greys advance at an alarming rate, the gap between coloring our hair gets shorter and shorter and we find ourselves exposing our hair to chemical processes that strip our locks of their natural luster and splendor. We can enjoy the beautiful hair reminiscent of our youth, and protect our investment in it, too, using a regimen of products that cater to our hair’s current needs.

I’ve been coloring my hair for so many years that I didn’t realize how much grey hair I had until I started letting some of my purple hair grow out.  Lawd!!!  I had no clue all of that was hiding up underneath there.  And I promise you as I get older, those hairs grow at a rate that is quite possibly faster than the speed of light…seriously!

Since I can’t reverse time or slow down the aging process, I can at least use products on my hair that will help combat some of the stress I put on my tresses.  Available only at Ulta Beauty, the Living Proof Timeless Collection includes not only shampoo, conditioner and plumping mousse but it includes a pre-shampoo treatment as well.  All of my naturals can definitely relate to a pre-poo!  Even those with relaxed, naturally straight or multi-ethnic hair will love using a pre-treatment shampoo!  I also love that it’s formulated specifically for color treated hair!   [Read more…]

Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals

February 24, 2016 by Alisha Leave a Comment

This post brought to you by This Post brought to you by Jamaican Mango & Lime. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Coily Locks.

I’ve been natural for over 5 years…this time!  14 years ago I went natural and it was basically because 1) I was saving money for my upcoming wedding 2) I got tired of spending an entire Saturday in the hair salon 3) I wanted to try something new!  Back then the products available were sparse and not many salons in my area of Nashville knew how to deal with natural hair unless you were coming in for a blow-out.

Fast forward to today and the options are endless.  It’s so nice that I can just go into my favorite beauty supply store or even mass chain store and pick up products for my hair.  Along the way there have been several hits and misses when it comes to products, but I was happy when I discovered Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals.

Jamaican Mango & Lime Pure Naturals ​ is the line of moderately ­priced hair care products that deliver a “360 degree Moisture Miracle” of intense, lasting moisture to every, single strand of hair because its Moisture Miracle 360 °™ Blend ​ of Pure & Natural butters, oils, natural extracts & vitamins that penetrates & surrounds every dry, thirsty, overworked strand and locks in 360 degrees of intense, long-lasting moisture.  It’s nice when can find a line that carries everything you need to help your hair maintain moisture (which helps with length retention) as well as products for endless styling options.

Sybil Gets Her 1st Sew-in!

January 27, 2016 by Alisha 4 Comments

Last month I had the pleasure of hanging out with talented Maria of The Maria Antoinette!  Maria and I first “met” when she and LaQuisha of Corner Curl Girl over 3 years ago when they had a 30-day natural hair challenge.  That’s the first of 2 challenges I’ve actually completed in the last few years by the way…LOL!  I’ve had the chance to witness Maria’s business and following grow tremendously over the years and so happy to be able to call her a friend.  Not only is she the bomb with hair and makeup, she is genuinely a nice person as well.  Nothing worse than someone being pretty on the outside with a heart of stone!

You all know that I’m not for long hair, but what I’ve been wanting since I got my taper cut was for the top to have more length.  Shrinkage is the debil and it didn’t help that my last 2 cuts totally jacked up the length on top.  -_-  I showed Maria a picture on instagram and we just knew we had to recreate that look.  I’ve never had a sew-in before so this was all new territory for me.
