Mixed Chicks Hair

Au naturel
As most of you may know- I’m a mixed chick. My mom is white and my dad is black.  It was a struggle growing up. My mom didn’t know what to do with my hair.  Often times, she put it in braids.  
 If I wore it curly, my hair would poof up!

Me & Mommy


 For years, I’ve traveled from store to store, trying to find the best product for my locks.  Recently, I was given samples of the “Mixed Chicks” hair products.
 It is a simple three step treatment for those with curly hair: shampoo, conditioner and leave-in-conditioner.


So—I decided to give it a try.


This is how you likely see me on television—hair pressed out and straight.


I started with the shampoo. As you can see—it works up a good lather.  


Next step-  the deep conditioner.  It felt a little oily but it seemed to moisturize my curls.
After I rinsed out my hair, I put in the leave-in-conditioner.


 So here is the end result.  It defined some of my curls but not all. :(  After over a decade of pressing my hair for television, some of my curls have soften. However, I was hoping the product would shape my curls a little bit better.


Needless to say—I would give this product two thumbs up!  My hair was moisturized- something my locks needed!

  1. I love your post about your hair! I have been natural for about two years now and I love my curls. I remember when we were in high school, I loved your hair, even on your poofy days! :) You look beautiful with your hair straight, but I love your curls! ;)

  2. A good way to encourage the curls is with your fingers! Do some finger curls all over, having naturally curly hair takes extra work sometimes just to remind your hair what to do. I need to get some of that for my hair which has been natural for almost these years now too, you really straighten your hair well that's my challenge:)
