My products and reviews (so far)

Shea Moisture

In case you guys didn't know I love the Shea Moisture line. All of there products are totally organic and contain certified Organic ingredients.  I feel in love with there soaps(check vid here)   So you know as soon I could I ran over to Target brought the entire Coconut & Hibiscus hair care line and later the Deep Treatment Masque(not shown below Shampoo and Hold and Style Mist which is gone now lol) . If you can not find the line in the stores( I had trouble myself) you can buy the products online

curl and style milk

First thing I love the smell of the coconut line. Second the products as for as organic products go are affordable. Every item is  10.00. As far as the smell Coconut really doesn't have a smell to me so to me it smelled more like cake batter. Like Miss Jessie's the smell is strong(especially the smoothie and mist) but only in the container. It fades after you apply it. The Shampoo is sulphate free but lathers and cleanses well. The Smoothie has the consistency of whipped shea butter and Shea Butter is one of the main ingredient along with Coconut Oil and Neem Oil. I use the smoothie to moisterize my hair at night or while twisting my hair. It leaves my hair nice and moisterised. The Curl and style Milk however is more like a lotion and not as thick as the smoothie. I used the curl and style milk and the hold and shine mist for my daily styling routine after I took out my twists. The hold and style mist while not a gel does give a light hold and made my hair sheen without being too greasy. I used this as a refresher and my last step before I run out the door. 

Pro VS Cons

Pros

Smells great

Organic

moisturizing

inexpensive for organic care about 10 bucks each

Cons 

no clarifying shampoo or  slippy conditioner ( I guess you can use the shampoo or Styling Milk to detangle many say they do)

Not much curl definition 

no gel or anything for a true hold in the line

Only sold @ Target  and sometimes hard to find in stores (more Target's fault then the company's)

Now I have to give the Deep Treatment mask its own review since its not really part of that line. Its under the Raw Shea Butter line (there's also a Black Soap line, and a Yucca and Bobab line neither of which I've tried yet). Because of that  this DT has different ingredients added such as Sea Kelp and Argan Oil. It smells more herbal-like but it is very light. It seemed to have a slight tingling feeling and felt as if it was penetrating into my hair. I usually use this about every 1 or 2 weeks before I wash. I wet my hair part it in big sections or twists,  put this in then cover with a plastic cap and let it sit for about a hour...Then I a quick rinse and wash and condition as usual. I believe this made my hair soft and shiny, and more manageable. So in a nutshell I love Shea moisture because for the most part the products do what they say and are organic and safe for natural and transitioning sistas (although I don't see why releaxed sistas or anyone else can't use them either) but their products do very little to define curls in my  natural newbie opinion. That's it in a nutshell diva if I stop being lazy and forgetting my batteries I do a vlog to accompany this lol but for now enjoy this. Next up KC also known as Kinky Curly and the Curlz line for Taget. Lata guys. XOXO!

oh boy

Since I was too afraid to go to the salon yesterday (still had the upset stomach)...I cut off a few of my relaxed ends with a straight edge(just cause I couldn't find the scissors) so my hair a little shorter but just in the front. I still need to do it cause I couldn't see the back. From what I can tell my back is still straight? So many textures in my hair right now its crazy but for now I'm try to deal with it cause I want a few more inches on my head when I do the BC lol.

Another note I did venture out yesterday ( just got sick of sitting in the house) and went to target to reup on the KCCC(Kinky Curly Curling Custard) and of course it wasn't there :(. So I picked up some Curls Goddess Curls Gel instead. Its cheaper then the KCCC ($7.99 for 8 zo vs $16.99 for 8 oz ). So I thought why not. Brought it along with the Knot Today Detangler. Although now researching I heard some not so great reviews about the Target Curls line. This is a different line then the one they sell online @ Curls.biz. From what I understand it is a line made specially to sell in the Target stores so maybe that why cause I've heard  good things about the products sold online.

In what seems to be my constant search for good products I was going thru hair tutorials on youtube and came across this line Oyin handmade. Also heard rave reviews on this product line. First thing I found out that I loved is that it located in Bmore. Shipping should take no time or I can travel to the store. Second they have trial sizes! So I will be ordering a few and if I like em I'll take a little trip to the store. 

I want to get the trial because I just have way too many products right now. I have Kinky Curly products which I still havent gone thru nor the Shea Mositure line. I'll have to post up review of each ( just so much work). I'm still new at this natural thing. IF you girls (or guys) have any suggestions please let me know. Lata XOXO

sooooo

well my plan was to get the BC tomorrow but I'm not feelin so hot :(. If I feel betta in the morning I'll do otherwise I'll have to postpone it a few weeks.
