Inspiration by A Curly Engineer

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing well. So in this post, I want to share my personal tips on how I achieved a healthy hair growth with my natural hair. I receive many questions over the years asking, "How long have you been natural?" and "How did grow your hair?" So with these questions, I want to give a thorough explanation while keeping the information as simple as possible. I don't want to make these tips complicated and scare anyone away (LOL)! A Background on my Natural Hair Growth Journey In 2006, I had my last relaxer treatment. Then, I transitioned my hair for a year and a half. Then, I "big chopped" the relaxed ends and became fully natural (S/N: This month marks 12 years, since I became a full natural *happy face*!) I have cut a couple of inches at a time during my earlier years of my hair growth journey due to the lack of maintaining the health of my hair. After my hair cut in 2011, I wanted to learn more on how to take...

Hi there! It's been so long since I have shared a blog-style product review. So, I wanted to start with a hair care product line that I love dearly! Hope you all will enjoy it! Mane Like Me was launched in February 2018. The founder of this haircare brand, Mrs. Quecina (@pinkstarnute_naturalhair on social media), contacted me to try her very own Revive and Retain Duo Haircare System that includes the Moisturizing Hair Pudding along the Hair and Scalp Oil. Later, she released the 10-in-1 Mane Revitalizer Spray which became a part of the Trio Haircare System. Now, there is an Ultimate Haircare System which includes the Refreshing & Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner. This product line is made for all curls, coils, and kinks. Also, I must not forget to mention that all of these products are 100% FREE of parabens, sulfates, silicones, petrolatum, mineral oil and formaldehyde ! Now, let's review the entire Revive & Retain Ultimate Haircare System! Refreshing...

Hello everyone!  If this page looks familiar from the previous posts (in the past 5 or 6 years), that is because I made a recent change to my blog and other social media platforms! I had the name "ReggaeInspired" for a very long time. It was spreaded across the internet as the platform to share natural hair tips, tutorials and inspiration. I still like to continue this journey of spreading positive light on curly hair care... Now, a new name has been born. Over the past few months, I felt it in my heart to shift my name to something that really describes me and what other young ladies are becoming.  "A Curly Engineer" Over these past 8 years (yes... EIGHT), I had the determination to strive and work hard to pursue my studies in Civil Engineering. To God be ALL THE GLORY, I received my B.S. in Civil Engineering (Spring '17) and M.S. in Civil Engineering (Spring '19). So many experiences have happened over the years (and speaking ...

 Paul Mitchell Original The Conditioner  Name of the Product: Paul Mitchell Original The Conditioner Purpose of the Product: Leave-in moisturizer that helps balance moisture, prevent dryness and improves texture. My Thoughts   First and foremost, I want to mention that this product is VERY hydrating. I purchased this product in a 33.8 fl. oz. bottle (which is more than enough). A little goes a long way when applying this product. It is water-based and contains Hawaiian awapuhi (a ginger plant) which makes this product very rich in moisture. When I apply "The Conditioner" on my hair shaft, I'm able to get instant slip. My hair is able to detangle very easily with this product. I recommend that you apply this product on damp or dry hair. This product works well with the LOC Method. So, it is important that you seal the product with an oil or a cream (or both) to save the moisture in your hair. I have used this product for almost a month and I lo...
