𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥-𝗕𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗨𝗧𝗬 𝗧𝗜𝗣

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⁣

𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗔𝗥-𝗕𝗬 𝗛𝗔𝗜𝗥 𝗧𝗜𝗣

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⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗘

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⁣
