Every once in a while, you encounter a brand and immediately start wondering where they've been all your life. Wondering why it feels like everyone's been keeping the secret to hella soft hair from you. Thinking that nobody loves you and wants you to be great with moisturized tresses.

That's me right now, as I fall in love with Pydana Collection.

As LA weather gets more frigid (yes, 60 degrees is COLD and io'n care what you say), I'm looking for more ways to pump my hair with long-lasting moisture and softness that holds up without hardening.


Enter: Pydana Collection aka my newest obsession. All Pydana Collection products are:

• Black Owned
• Woman Owned
• Curly Girl Friendly
• Silicone Free
• Sulfate Free
• Mineral Oil & Petroleum Free
• Free of Artificial Colors
• Plant Based
• Shea Butter Free
• Coconut Oil Free

Y'all. Listen. If you're still on the hunt for products that keep hair moisturized, soft, and defined for days on end while not feeling greasy or weighed down, then Pydana Collection is a MUST.

Read along as I drop the 411 on these five miracle workers for dry, frizzy, and low porosity natural hair...


Pydana Microwavable Thermal Cap

The Rundown
I know when it comes to microwavable deep conditioning caps, it seems like Hot Head has cornered the market. As someone who's had a Hot Head for years, and is now experiencing Pydana's Thermal Cap, let me let you in on a lil' secret.

Pydana has the BEST microwavable deep conditioning cap - PERIODT. Yes, you can quote me on that.

Every single detail about the Pydana Thermal Cap is engineered to perfection. I'm not just talking about the color and pattern (although this Okoye print is gawwwwjus!). I'm talking about how secure the elastic band is without squeezing my brain. How spacious the inside of the cap is to accommodate thicker, longer hair (and locs too!). How expertly crafted the inner contents of the cap are.

137% QUALITY all the way around.

Beyond superior construction, the performance of Pydana's Thermal Cap is off the charts too. I heated mine for a total of 3 minutes following the card instructions (2 consecutive minutes, then 2 30-second increments), and found that the cap stayed warm well beyond the 20 minutes I needed to use it for. It didn't feel piping hot to the touch (thank God), but the gentle warmth was consistent and made my deep conditioning session that much more effective.

The bottom line - if you want to freely multitask around the house while maximizing your deep treatment time, Pydana Collection is the way to go. Trust me.


Avocado & Babassu Herbal Silk Deep Moisture Treatment
Cost
$15.99 for 8oz

Where to Buy
Pydana Collection Website

Protein Free?
Technically yes; contains keratin amino acids only.

Curly Girl Friendly?
Yes - The Avocado & Babassu Herbal Silk Deep Moisture Treatment is free from silicones, drying alcohols, shea butter, and coconut oil.

Active Ingredients

• Water
• Babassu Oil: Oil pressed from the kernel of the Brazilian Orbigynya Palm Tree, with a similar chemical composition to coconut oil. It is able to penetrate the hair (to a degree), improving moisture, strength, elasticity, softness, and shine of hair. It is a wonderful alternative for those who want the benefits of coconut oil, but don't care for it in the hair.
• Soybean Oil: Carrier oil used to lubricate and nourish the hair, providing softness and shine.
• Avocado Oil: Omega 3-rich nourishing oil extract that can enhances shine, moisture retention, softness, and elasticity in hair.
• Aloe Vera Juice: Acts as a natural conditioning agent that restores the hair's sheen, luster, and shine. It not only makes the hair soft, but it also enhances strength and suppleness.
• Sodium Lactate: Liquid salt preservative derived from the fermentation of sugar, mostly corn or beet.

The Good
Oh my gawwwwwd where do I start? I love EVERYTHING about the Avocado & Babassu Herbal Silk Deep Moisture Treatment. This deep conditioner is an instant HG. Thick, rich, and creamy, this 8oz miracle jar has amazing slip and makes detangling drama a thing of the past. My favorite part though?


My low porosity sections LOVE it. Even though the Avocado & Babassu Herbal Silk Deep Moisture Treatment is rich and creamy, it soaks right into my strands almost on contact. Combined with heat from my gorgeous Okoye Thermal Cap, even my frizziest strands were dancing for joy. Upon rinsing, my dramatically rough ends were GONE. The shine was impeccable. Softness? Off the freaking charts.

Want to know something funny? I kept rinsing my hair well beyond the normal rinse-out time because it felt too soft, and too moisturized to be product-free. So much unnecessary water down the drain, because I had never experienced this level of hydration and smoothness from a deep conditioner before.

Literally, a miracle for my parched tresses in a jar. A little goes a long way - my hair was easily coated and there's still plenty left in the jar for future uses. The fragrance smells divine - light, sweet, and regal. Not aggressive, and barely noticeable after rinsing. But honestly, I wouldn't mind if my hair did hold on to the fragrance. I'd love to have this delightful aroma bottled up and sold as a room spray! I also got compliments on my hair smelling good at work!

The Bad
NOT. A. SINGLE. THING. Do you hear me?

NOTHING.

Except maybe, a bigger jar. Like, salon size. 🙏🏽

The Bottom Line
Honestly, everything above this line says it all. You've GOT to give this one a try for yourself.

Note: The Avocado Herbal Silk Leave-In Conditioner, Marula & Cupuacu Herbal Silk 3-in-1 Intensive Moisturizer, and Luscious Locks Herbal Silk Hair Oil are all a part of Pydana's Moisture LOC Kit. The individual product prices are listed for each one - but the kit currently has a discounted price of $35.97! Click here to purchase.

• Panthenol: Vitamin B5, known for quick absorption into hair and providing moisture control.

If you've been a reader around these parts for a while, then you already know I'm a huge fan of changing regimens seasonally. Every few months, the environment presents a different set of challenges for curly hair. During the spring and summer there's humidity, increased sun exposure, dry (hot) air, and more.

In fall and winter, we're up against moisture loss from cold air (it sucks all of that hard-earned hydration right from our strands... just trifilin'). Wrestling with sweaters, jackets, and scarves that snag our ends and cause strands to snap. Trying to fight back against dryness from blaring car, office, and home heaters.

Without intervention, these stressors create the perfect storm that can lead to breakage, extra frizz, split ends, stalled growth, and of course, dry, dull curls.

So how do you fight back?

With a fall and winter ready regimen focused on moisturizing and sealing from root to end, every step of the way. Around this time last year, I added Pydana Collection products to my cold weather arsenal. After seeing how soft, shiny, and moisturized Pydana Collection kept my hair last year, I knew without a doubt that they'd be back in my regimen rotation for fall and winter 2019.

If you're tired of putting in allllladis work on wash day, only to have hair that dries out faster than a chicken breast in the oven, you've come to the right place. Here's your five-step plan to fight back against harsh fall and winter conditions, and take your natural hair from dry and dull to moisturized, soft, and full of life:



Step 1: Cleanse (with Shampoo)
I know, I know. Sudsing up your strands with shampoo seems counterproductive to the goal of keeping dry, curly hair moisturized. But here's the thing. One of the major culprits of dry, crunchy-feeling hair is actually product buildup. The moisture and softness we so desperately crave (especially during fall and winter) is often held hostage by dirt, oil, gel, butter, and other gunk that's stuck to our strands.

The truth is, the rest of these steps for keeping dry curly hair moisturized and sealed won't even matter until you get on board with this one. If you're not shampooing at all (exclusively co-washing), I strongly recommend working a shampoo like the Pydana Collection Gentle Cleanse Shampoo into your regimen at least once a month, until you feel comfortable doing it more frequently.

Step 2: Deep Condition (with Heat)
🗣️Hey low porosity girls — this tip is especially important for you! If you expect to rock moisturized natural hair in fall and winter (not just shiny looking, but actually moisturized and sealed), then you absolutely cannot skip this step. The science says it all — your deep conditioner works better when it's warm. 

In these colder months, I'm reaching for the Pydana Collection Avocado & Babassu Deep Moisture Treatment. Combining this ultra-moisturizing deep conditioner with heat ensures that every single drop of babassu, avocado, and aloe vera goodness deeply penetrates into dry hair.

There are a number of ways to ensure your deep conditioner is warm enough to work wonders, but hands down, one of the best ways to do it is with a Thermal cap from Pydana Collection.

Y'all, listen.


I've said it before, and I'll say it again, louder for the people in the back: Pydana has the BEST microwavable deep conditioning cap, PERIODT. I've had my Okoye print Thermal Cap for a year now, and even with regular use, it has shown absolutely NO signs of wear and tear. The stunning print hasn't faded or turned. The elastic band hasn't given out at all. The inner contents and lining have not burned. Best of all, it maintains warmth for 30 minutes, easily.

Y'all, I've used caps by another brand 👀, and they fell apart with a lot less use. So listen to me when I say that the Pydana Collection Thermal Cap is 137% QUALITY craftswomanship all the way around.

Here's the bottom line: if you want to freely multitask around the house while ensuring that your hair gets the moisture it needs, Pydana Collection is the way to go. Trust me.

Step 3: LCO
When temperatures drop, your best bet for keeping hair moisturized and sealed is with the LCO method. Because cold air literally sucks the moisture out of your hair, layering in products is the absolute key to fighting off dry hair and achieving style longevity. My cold weather LCO combo of choice is the Pydana Collection Moisture LOC Kit, featuring the Avocado Herbal Silk Leave-In Conditioner, Marula & Cupuacu 3-in-1 Intensive Moisturizer, and Luscious Locks Hair Oil. Each product contains key ingredients that penetrate, nourish, moisturize, and seal each strand.

They're also free from from silicones, drying alcohols, shea butter, and coconut oil. That last one is super important during fall and winter. I love me some coconut oil, but when the oil in the jar turns solid, I put it away. Why? Because if it gets hard in the jar due to the cold air, just imagine what it'll do on your hair!

In the video, you'll see me apply the Pydana Collection Moisture LOC Kit products in the following order, after ensuring my hair is soaking wet with warm water:


Avocado Herbal Silk Leave-In: Packed with avocado oil, aloe vera juice, and vitamin B5, this leave-in conditioner helps to maintain the hair's internal moisture by providing it with water and other vital nutrients to absorb. It also aids in moisture retention by smoothing the hair and smoothing the cuticle layer.

Marula & Cupuacu 3-in-1 Intensive Moisturizer: Rich in cupuacu, marula, olive, and rice bran oils, this cream provides the hair intense moisture and nourishment. Packed with ingredients designed to combat moisture loss and help seal the cuticle layer, the Marula & Cupuacu 3-in-1 helps to form a protective, yet penetrable layer that maintains moisture and softness long after wash day ends.

Luscious Locks Hair Oil: This lightweight, yet effective blend of nutrient-rich oils is where sealing all that moisture into the hair happens. Sealing is what prevents the rapid evaporation of water from the hair that can leave it feeling dry. Not to mention, it provides additional softness, shine, and protection from friction against your clothing.

Step 4: Let it Set
In warmer weather, I'm more inclined to apply my leave-ins and such in the shower to dripping wet hair, style, and air dry. But when it's a smooth 60 degrees and freezing (no judgment please), nobody has time for that. And here's where the biggest game-changer for moisturizing and sealing goes down: let it set.


I know, I'm not the first person ever to suggest letting your leave-in and cream soak in before styling. But there's an added twist — go ahead and heat your Pydana Collection Thermal Cap back up. That's right — we're going to use a little more gentle heat to soak that ultra-moisturizing goodness directly into our strands. Low porosity naturals, you're going to love this!

In the video above, I leave the Pydana Collection Thermal Cap on my hair for another 15-20 minutes, then go right into styling. The benefits are twofold — one, the penetration of product ensures that my hair remains moisturized and sealed for longer. Two, it significantly cuts down on drying time — regardless of whether I choose to air dry or sit under a dryer.

Step 5: Style & Protect
When it comes to maintaining moisture and fighting off dry hair, your style of choice is important. Many naturals go into protective styling mode for the cold months, and you can totally ride that wave if you choose. I prefer to rock my wash and go's year-round, so I choose to embrace step 4, add my gel of choice, and get on with it.

I use a bit of Luscious Locks Hair Oil to fluff my hair, gently stretch with a blow dryer, and band the front half of my curls. Since I usually style and set my hair at night, I sleep on it stretched, and wake up the next morning ready to go — with soft, moisturized, and shiny curls that pop!


However you style your hair during fall and winter, keep these important tips in mind:

• Always sleep with a satin scarf and/or pillowcase (I use both)
• Every 3 days or so, re-apply a few drops of Luscious Locks Hair Oil to the ends of your hair to help prevent snagging and splitting on clothes
• Be gentle (and patient) with your hair
• Avoid styles that pull your edges too tight
• Ease up on products with coconut oil high on the ingredient list for now

And that's it! In five easy steps, you can take your natural hair from dry and dull to moisturized, sealed, and poppin' all season long! If you have any questions, feel free to leave them down below!

Happy Black History Month, y'all!

Well, it's more like Black History 365/6 around these parts, but I wanted to do something extra special in 2020, dedicated to the beautiful shades and undertones that make us unique and proud of our ancestry.

Since November of 2019, I've been quietly playing around in skincare products from four amazing brands. I incorporated them all into my regimen for an extended period of time because I wanted to be 100% certain they were straight fire.

As someone who's battled psoriasis all my adult life (and since high school, tbh), skincare has always been a sensitive subject for me. In the 20+ years that I've been dealing with psoriasis, I've had to tread lightly. I can't use all of the products that everyone can — heavy artificial fragrances and colorants are a nonstarter. Extra drying sulfates are a hard pass. That's why I had to be so particular and take extra care with this compilation — I couldn't risk exacerbating an already sensitive skin ailment by going all willy nilly with the products.

I'm happy to report that for my tricky, sensitive, and sometimes dry skin, these products have been a blessing.

Keep reading (or watching) to discover why.

About
ASE Naturals was founded by Shannon Cann — a true renaissance woman building a beauty empire on the principles of self-care, mindfulness, and the power of nature. Shannon is a layer, herbalist, certified reiki practitioner, and the formulated behind all of ASE Naturals' offerings.

After a life-threatening medical emergency landed her in the ICU immobile and intubated, Shannon committed to a complete lifestyle overhaul after her recovery. She became vegan, committed to clean beauty products, and connected with herbalism as a means of guarding her physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

From her own rituals of self-care, ASE Naturals was born — a skincare line that promotes mindfulness and nourishment while harnessing the healing power of plants.

March 2019 will mark SEVEN years of The Mane Objective. That's 84 months of hair journey-ing. 28 seasons of styles and tutorials. 2,555 days of product reviews and recommendations. 3,679,200 minutes of content dedicated to growing, maintaining, damaging, and growing again my natural hair.

I say all this to say, I'm quite far from the new kid on the block. I don't dabble in trends, or make try-hard viral videos for followers and IG fame. I'm true to all things natural hair, and proud to stay in my lane. In the 7 years that The Mane Objective has been around, I've seen trends die and bounce back with a vengeance. Watched bad advice go viral, and companies once cherished be sold to conglomerates. I've laughed as brands that paid us dust in the past circle back to try and collect on Black woman coin. I've also cheered from the stands as small brands moved from kitchen recipe to retail shelves.

My natural hair resume has given me somewhat of a 6th sense about brands on the natural hair scene. A keen sense about brands are on the precipice of a breakout season. Sometimes it's the story. Other times, the packaging and branding. All the time, it's because of the quality and performance of the products. In turn, I become these brands biggest cheerleaders - and have legit emotional moments when I see them hit major retail, growth, and PR milestones.

I'll always be cheering for my faves like Be Kekoa, tgin, Soultanicals, Obia, and more. In many ways, these brands represent the goal post and next level. They're inspirational, for sure.

Keeping this list under wraps for almost 2 months has been beyond difficult. You guys are like my product junkie family — and I hate keeping secrets! But hear me when I say this list is WELL WORTH THE WAIT. Calendar-wise, it's one of the most time consuming compilations, but ever second spent bringing this feature to life pays off big time when the DMs and comments roll in telling me that you've found your new holy grail, or that you're obsessed with the brand.

That's what this list is about — connecting you to new, Black-owned staples that you're going to fall in LOVE with.

Y'all ready for this new wave? Let's get into it.



Note: This list appears in alphabetical order. Also, the video companion to this blog post is coming soon — just trying to clear a few YouTube technical hurdles. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Alright you guys, I've held you up long enough. Without further delay, I present the ULTIMATE Black Friday // Small Business Saturday // Cyber Monday Sale Guide! A lot of you guys have been waiting on this list — and thank you so much for being patient with me. Between working a real job (I'm not an influencer for a living lol), blogging, the gym, and life, things have been hectic!

You guys know the drill — grab your note pad (or get your screenshot buttons ready) and let's get down to business. I'm going to try to update this list as much as possible as new sales become available, so check back often if you don't see your favorite brands listed yet. I'll try to let you guys know about updates via Instagram Stories and Facebook. So make sure you find me all those places:

Instagram: maneobjective
Facebook: maneobjective

The list below features brands of all sizes, with a special emphasis on small and Black owned businesses. This season and year round, let's make sure we're supporting the brands with a vested interest in the natural hair community beyond their bottom line. Like last year, I've added an extra category of businesses — HOME! Black business is flourishing within the beauty category, but in other industries as well. So you'll see Black-owned alternatives to popular home goods on this list, too!

Oh, and don't forget to share this post on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, Tik Tok, smoke signal, with a friend IRL — wherever! The more the merrier! Where possible, I'll be including my favorite products and reviews.

Let the deals and steals begin! (The list is in alphabetical order, BTW.)
