I have been using Mixed Chicks deep conditioner ever since I began transitioning to natural hair in 2010 (and after my big chop, eek! I permed it back, aah).

Anyway, once in New York, I headed straight to Ricky’s to get shampoo and conditioner. I have had a really hard time finding good products in the Stamford area, so it was top on my agenda. I headed there with some friends, and even saw Titi and Miko walking down…
