One of the most popular questions I get from my Trinidadian afrobellas is – where can I get these products you speak of? It’s true – in the USA we’ve got a wealth of natural hair goodness at ready disposal. When these products are imported and sold elsewhere, they’re often marked up to high heaven or imported in quantities that don’t meet demand.
Well Trini bellas, there’s a new store for you to check out. Body Beautiful, a brand new beauty supply store has just opened on Ariapita Avenue. I learned of this via my high school listserv — yes indeed, the owner is an alumni of my high school. Hilarians forever!
The store is offering natural bath, body, and hair care products. I’m not sure if Miss Jessie’s or Curls is available yet, but one of my favorite brands, Kinky Curly, is finally available for sale. Click here to read my review from 2006. Since then the brand has expanded to include some new products (the shampoo, the children’s line, and Midnight Miracle which I think I NEED in my LIFE). For now I’ll just say, start with the Knot Today. It remains one of my natural hair must-haves because it is THAT good.
Click here to check out Body Beautiful’s Facebook page, and if you’re in the neighborhood stop by and get what your hair needs!
I will definitely be passing by to get me some Kinky Curly, and give it a try 🙂
Been a while since I read your blog – missed it! 🙂 Sucks that I can’t be there, though. Damn Pacific ocean! 😛

Great news…I have to tell my family about this…Thanks!
I love this brand and it all started with Knot Today. I bought one and within 6 months bought two more. It’s like the other conditioners are fillers and more for shaving legs than for working with my hair. I have to say I don’t enjoy the price for the pace at which it disappears from my cabinets, but oh well. I haven’t found a replacement yet!
Oh my, I’ve growing out my natural hair since the end of Spring and looking for natural products! A friend suggested Kinky Curly; but, I didn’t know where to find it. Thank you bella!
I read this post, checked out Kinky-Curly’s site, and immediately went to Whole Foods last night and purchased some! I hope that the raving reviews are true and that I too will fall in love with Kinky-Curly! Thanks for the rec! 🙂
I want to try kinky curly really bad I was wondering how it compares to mixed chicks products which I use currently. I am transitioning out of a relaxer (8 months in) 🙂
OMG!!! Did you say HILARAIRIAN???
I go to Bishops!
WOW! Small world!!
SO glad to hear about this shop as I’m transitioning right now as we speak!!
Thanx Afrobella!!
Thanks for the heads up!. I too am a Hilarian and am transitioning from relaxed to au naturel :). Still trying to build up the nerve to do the big CHOP OFF but I will definitely check out this store for the Kinky curly products. Reviews have been great.

Is Body Beautiful still opened in Trinidad? Are the products still available?
Oh yes that wonderful store Body Beautiful is still on the ave and still have all that us naturals need from good advice to tryouts and of course the products. I am 1 month post big chop and loving every single moment of it. 😉
