Reorganizing the Blog


I know things are getting hard to find--sorry about that. It kind of snuck up on me! Give me a moment to figure out categories maybe shift things around, add some tags. Thanks for being patient with me and for all the support.

Be Blessed!

    Thanks for the subject list/labels. I'll be re-browsing quite a few topics. :)

    I like the labels idea. But maybe you can make them a bit more general? Many only have 1 post under each. For example instead of having "cornrow puff," "cornrow twists," and "cornrows" you could simply have 1 label that says "cornrow styles"

    I agree with Nicki about the more generalised topics. For example Nappy Princess would aved the spa days, the fun days etc..

    Getting there! You are absolutely right. I was just typing in tags I thought would fit and was surprised by how it was all organized. I will go back in and trim away the excess.

    Thank you so much for your input! I have trimmed down the tags. I left a few with only 1 post, because I anticipate writing more on those topics in the future. What do you think? Any more suggestions?

    Actually what you can do is to break it down into major categories like Health, Music, Sports, etc..then put in those file relevant to the major category.

    I think the labels are the major categories--yet specific enough for a beginner to find what they are looking for quickly. I didn't know a lot of the terminology in the beginning.

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

Mocha Mom Speaks about Length Retention and Protective Styling

My hair on the day I put in my Braidlocks before the shrinkage set in. I considered making another video, but opted to return to my first love--writing. I've been reflecting on the many responses I've received on my Hot Topic: The Tangle Teezer is Breaking my Hair video. I've been wondering if there's a little more to my success story. There was a time my daughters' hair remained the same length year after year. I thought their hair wasn't growing or had reached terminal length--meaning their hair had grown as long as it could possibly grow. It never occurred to me that their hair was breaking off at the ends as quickly as it was growing in from the roots. Culturally, as people of African descent, we do many things to our hair that's death to our ends. I never set out to retain length. Something changed in me during a completely unrelated experience. I talk about it in detail in my post Her mother needs to do her
