I have had several emails asking me how I make liquid African Black Soap (ABS) from the solid one found at Natural Moisture especially now that we have discontinued the Liquid African Black Soap. The formula is very simple and requires very little input on the skill side. So today I will give you the formulation and a step by step guide on how to make your own ABS shampoo or just a liquid soap that you can use for your whole body.

Knowing Your Ingredients: Which Alcohols Are Good Or Bad For Natural Hair
Are you losing the battle with dry hair? Are the ingredients in your hair products sabotaging your efforts to healthier hair? Here is the deal. The products you may be using could be having drying agents in the form of alcohols. Wait a minute. Not all alcohols are bad for your hair. They are some good ones which actually condition our hair and there are some bad ones which dry out our hair and even other alcohols which do not affect our hair much and all these often grace the ingredients list of hair care products we use. This is what I want to share with you so let us get started by discussing the different types of alcohols that are found in hair care products.
Hey folks. Met one of Natural Sisters’ readers at a wedding in Durban. I had come all the way from Johannesburg and she was coming from Cape Town only to meet in Durban. How cute life presents itself sometimes. I thought I had lost the photos I was taken with Nicole in Durban so I was not going to be able to share with you. But then, some time last week, I noticed I had already saved them before my handbag was stolen in September. I was at the wedding on the 30th of August. Real awesome time.
Being MIA for most of September meant having quite a back log of posts that I would like to share with you guys. There are events I went to and things that I have been doing to my hair. So I will be bombarding you with post after post for some time to get everything out of the way. Besides, I am in this full time now so I can really do it more. One of those events I attended is the Professional Beauty Johannesburg show which was hosted at Gallagher Convention Centre on the 31st of August to the 1st of September.
