The Glories of Castille Soap


Nothing else has helped to grow my hair as the combination between castile soap and olive oil.

I used to use this combination while in my mid-20s and (age too) helped to grow my hair into the middle of my back. I wish I had pictures, however you will have to take my word for it. Not only is castile soap ph-balanced, it also contains essential oils that are perfect for super curly hair. The olive oil also added oil to my hair too, however sometimes I would feel as though my head was baking during the summer time.

At Noah's Health Food store at Spadina and Bloor in Toronto, I bought my first bottle of Dr. Bonner's Castile soap in ages. It was wonderful that I actually remembered the shampoo that had been so good for me for so long. The only reason why I ever stopped using it was because when I moved to Montreal - I was not in tune with the health food store shopping thing and picked up Lush products (which were not bad) instead.

If you have super curly hair, you may find castile soap to be exactly what you need. I am still going through my bottle of the ph-balanced glycerine soap I bought before. By time the really cool, harsh and dry weather comes - which can play havoc on super curly hair - my castile soap will be there to protect me.

Zhara's Blog

Donna: What started your interest in hair? Zhara: I think for the majority of black women myself included, I've always been obssesed with a major interest in my hair! Lol. My hair has always been a forefront of never ending years of hair dilemmas and styles. Black hair is the most fragile and versatile texture in the world.This has made my hair journey an interesting one from being natural as a child to permed in my teen years with good and bad hair days that brought about emotions and experiences that lay down deep in the soul. A black woman can never escape her personal hair struggles unless she makes peace with it and works with her hair in tune with nature....thankfully going natural has definitley lead me to this path :) Donna: Tell me about your website? Zhara: It's actually more of a community of support and motivation more than a personal website per se. I joined a community online photo blog called fotki.com to document my personal hair journey among thousands of other...

Britney Spears Plans Plastic Surgery

Britney Spears is planning to undergo cosmetic surgery because she has slacked off her diet sources say. Spears would like her body to be the way it was before she had kids. Spears has been ripping pages out of magazines to choose what she thinks are her favourite body parts. Sources say Spears is insecure over how much her body has changed since having her kids. She is reported wanting to do whatever it takes to be back to her best, even if that means plastic surgery. Psychologist Linda Blair says that Britney may need more than just plastic surgery to feel better about herself. Blair says people often think plastic surgery is the answer and will solve their problems when it really does not. Spears is looking into getting a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast enhancement and rhinoplasty. She is also looking to get a chemical peel for her facial skin.

Section 1: Site Goals

Q1: What is the mission/purpose of the organization? A1: The organization being represented on this website is owned by Mariame Kaba. She produced an essay entitled Restoring Black Women’s Agency: Hair Straightening as Rational Choice. Briefly, the background on the client and the product is that Ms. Kaba is a PhD student at Northwestern University in the Department of Sociology. She has an B.A. degree from McGill University and an M.A. from the City College of New York. It is her master’s level work where the 21-page essay on Restoring Black Women’s Agency comes from. Her thesis was on the topic of the politics of Black women’s hair and the essay is a shortened version of that thesis. The client originally wanted the entire thesis to be turned into a website. Unfortunately, there are some logistical problems involved with retrieving the entire document. Therefore, the shortened version will become the main knot that will hold the website together. The rationale of the essay is base...
