Gentle readers, I realize I’ve been lax with posting for the past couple of months. Fortunately, the very capable Brook has been picking up my slack with her hilarious Project Runway Canada recaps (I’m pulling for Sunny too). Here’s why I haven’t been complaining about hair products lately – I’ve found one that I love [...]

Drowning in Hair Goop: Beaucoup des Boucles!

The best part of having curly hair is that the French word for curls is boucles. Just say it a few times. See? Anyway, Crème de Soin Définition & Contrôle Hydra-Boucle is the French version of Garnier Fructis’ Hydro Curls Defining Creme. I bought it in Paris, after I left my favourite all-purpose goop in [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Brook asked me if there has ever been a hair product that I am truly satisfied with. Not really, just products that frustrate me less. Even the good ones don’t guarantee a good hair day: for the maniacally curly haired, good hair days are the product of some mystical alchemy [...]
Drowning in Hair Goop: Get your Physique out of my face

I found this at the back of one of my bathroom cupboards. Physique products have been off the market for a couple of years now, so this “spiral cream” is a relic. I used it this morning as a test (you see what I do for you, internets?), but as soon as I hit the [...]
Drowning in Hair Goop: 24/7 TLC

It’s a beautiful sunny day and everything is covered with last night’s snow. There might be an opossum living in my backyard. My kitchen is full of tasty baking. I’m in a great mood and I don’t want to ruin it by bitching about some overpriced shit-ass hair goop that does squat. So today I’m [...]
Drowning in Hair Goop: a la Mode

I have no idea where this bottle of MODE Straightening Balm came from, but it’s been a fixture on my bathroom counter for a couple of years now. Possibly it just materialized one day, half-used, a mediocre gift from the Product Gods. More likely, I stole it from my mother’s bathroom one time when I [...]

Oh, the scourge of naturally curly-haired. We spend most of our lives longing for straight, sleek, shiny ‘dos, rather than the unruly mops that nature dealt us. Yeah, yeah, love yourself and embrace what you have. Fuck that. Nothing gets a curly girl to open her wallet faster than the promise of a little less [...]
