LuxeOrganix Conditioning Shampoo Review & Giveaway

December 18, 2015 by Alisha 4 Comments

One of the first things I discovered when I went natural was just how bad using shampoo was for my coils. It’s not that shampooing your hair is the worst thing but those that contain sulfates are what strip your hair of the oils that it actually needs to help keep it healthy. And if you’re like me with purple hair, then those sulfates will not only strip the oils but also the color! Yea…ask me how I know! -_- lol

I recently had a chance to try out LuxeOrganix Cleansing Conditioner Cowash and I LOVED it. Refresh your hair and liberate it from the daily grind of everyday shampooing, while igniting your senses with this gentle, luxurious Refreshing Mint #CoWash Cleansing Conditioner. Enhanced with natural essential oils and botanicals that won’t strip your hair, color or scalp. Designed to protect and preserve your hair’s natural oils, while still gently cleansing and providing your hair with enhanced moisture. Hair styling becomes easier with this premium cowashing treatment. Woman Owned Company, Made in the USA with the highest quality ingredients.

I usually just cowash my hair with regular conditioner so I was pretty excited to try out this conditioner. I recently got a sew-in and it was suggested by my friend Maria to just use conditioner to cleanse the hair. Here’s how I was looking before: [Read more…]

Sometimes I Give Into Peer Pressure

November 1, 2015 by Alisha 3 Comments

Typically I’m not one to give into peer pressure, but the blogging world will have you doing things you NEVER dreamed of…like posting.every.d*mn.day! -_- I’m not about that life but I want to break outside of my little box and spread my wings.

Several of my blogging boo’s out there in cyber world are doing NaBloPoMo. If you’re like me than you might have also been asking “what in the world does that even mean?” Is it a new food dish…an exercise…what?!?! NaBloPoMo also known as National Blog Posting Month. Basically you will post daily for 30 days. I’m good for posting twice a week and I barely made it today! [Read more…]

Coilylocks Reader Survey – Help a Sista Out!

September 1, 2015 by Alisha 1 Comment

Almost 8 years ago I published my first blog post. Then my 2nd one was 4 years later…LOL! That was just after I did my first Big Chop and I wanted to share my journey with the rest of the world. So much has changed since those first two posts and it amazes me daily how much it has grown along the way. I’ve had a chance to make new friends literally all over the world with me just rambling out things going on in my life.

A few years ago I learned that people could actually make money doing this. And with that comes people selling you pipe dreams or giving you misinformation. I’ve made a lot of mistakes with my blog and I’ve also grown a lot as well. I started off just talking about natural hair and the journey that my teenager and I were going on together to have healthy hair. While working on my blog I met other bloggers and influencers that discussed health/fitness, nail art, motherhood and then WINE! I think by now you all know how much I love wine…LOL! [Read more…]
