West African black soap all day long. I suffer from hyperpigmentation like many other black people and this really helps in fading any black marks/blemishes⁣

Aztec Clay. Then Dizziak conditioner slightly diluted as a leave in. As a 4B/C natural under all these inches, detangling is a BREEZE⁣

Daily (sometimes multiple) FT with my sister and 3 little nephews in Brum. I miss them so much⁣

Once every two weeks. Clarify, clay, diluted leave in. I used to be a lot more on it but after suffering from depression a couple of years ago, I had to simplify to get back on track⁣

Aaliyah. Michelle Obama. Misa Hylton – give her ALL HER FLOWERS. And Foxy Brown. And then Sharmadean for just being an example of what’s possible⁣
