The Nappy Princess Spa Tutorial Videos

I'm excited to introduce The Nappy Princess Spa, my tutorial videos in helping apply everything you're learning here. You can view the five part Hair Washing Series on our YouTube channel now. I'm working on more series to add, including styling.

I know many of us need more than pictures to pick up a new skill. I hope you find my tutorials helpful.

    Natacha,
    I'm YQ over at Nappturality and I just came across your blog and I just have to say that I am so glad that I found it.
    I have a 20 month old and am trying to find the best, quickest, and easiest routine for her hair (and for me). I've peeped through your posts and plan on going through them a little more in depth this weekend but I want to say that you are doing a great job and you're giving me a lot of new ideas for my daughter's that I can start learning how to do (beacuse I can't do hair to save my life lmao).

    I just wanted to say Thank you for your blog. I used your hair washing ideas on my 7yr old yesterday and they worked fabulously! I actually washed and combed her hair without her crying! She said, "Mommy, I liked when u do my hair this way!" Needless to say we both were very happy with the results. I should have found your blog years ago! Keep up the great work! I am one happy moma!

Please leave that baby's hair alone!

I'll never forget the first time I saw Mocha Girl One (HmG) . She was an emergency c-section, and had to spend several days in NICU. She was born four days past her estimated due date and looked huge in her incubator. I imagined her to be especially delicate and feminine. I couldn't wait to frill her up, and more importantly to do her hair ! The only reason she wasn't sporting a barrette the day we took her home from the hospital, was because the one I brought to match her lacey outfit, slid right out. Mocha Girl One's baby hair was silky straight and fine. As the weeks rolled by, it became wavier until she had a lovely curly fro. I washed it all the time . I brushed it several times a day . I tried snap clips, and moved to velcro barrets when the clips slid out. I bought a different head band for every outfit. Meanwhile her curls continued to wind tighter and tighter. I kept everything in a pretty box, dubbed the hair bin . I was really frustrated at not b

Trader Joe's Castille Soap Discontinued!

There's some controversy about the use of castille soap as a shampoo. For example, popular YouTuber Kim , of KimmayTube tested the ph of Bronner's Castille Soap and found it to be much higher than the recommended range for hair (between 4 and 5). You can watch her explain her findings. She also did an informative series fraught with good visuals on understanding the effects of ph on hair. That said, I've been using diluted castille soap successfully for YEARS, but I've never tried Bronner's Castille Soap. I had a bottle of Trader Joe's Castille Soap . Turns out Trader Joe's formula includes Aloe Vera --which has an acidic ph---probably bringing down the overall ph of the product--perhaps balancing it for hair. The manufacturer recommends it's use as a shampoo right on the bottle's label. I did not get a chance to personally test the ph of my bottle, because by the time I noticed Aloe as an ingredient of my castille soap, the bottle was empty
