My little baby girl has beginner curls that I have had problems keeping moisturized, without it coming out greasy. Thankfully I decided to give the Curls hair products a try on her hair and I already love it. See this before & after picture below, to see the difference in her hair after using the Curls products. Her hair is no longer dry and tangled. It is now moisturized, easy to manage and not greasy at all.


The two Curls products I used are the Cashmere Curls Leave In Conditioner & the Champagne & Caviar Curl Elixir.  To learn more about Curls Hair Care Products, go to Curls.biz.

"I am a self-trained artist who uses the mediums of storytelling, music,  painting, sculpture, and installation. In my art, I explore universal themes of matriarchy, cultural knowledge and preservation that are cross-cultural in their significance. My subjects are often women, relatives, and Indigenous deities of the African and Asian Diaspora. By situating them in a reverential context, I am able to retrieve historical narratives and illuminate mythical lore that have been subjugated in conquest, and rendered to the periphery of cultural significance.

I construct material spaces that offer a place of reprieve from mechanized culture; within these arenas, Deities and traditions can interact with the physical world. By doing so, I create a place of refuge for myself, and others, to consider our ancestral past and reconnect to our present cultural identity."

Zena Carlota Pearl Allen is a self-taught artist who currently resides in the Bay area. In 2010, she began creating drawings for the first time in 13 years informed by Mithila art: a folkloric painting tradition of Indian and Nepalese women. She is deeply inspired by her personal research of folklore, oral histories, and the iconic imagery she encountered while living in East and West Africa as a teacher and student, respectively. Studying the music and storytelling tradition of “Jaliyaa” as a kora player (West African harp) for the past six years has placed her on a journey that is a natural progression to apply in her own art the same themes of ritual and tradition found in West African music.
