cheapie products that I used now or in the past

Ok here are a quick list of stuff I use that I use that are pretty cheap...under 10 dollars

Eco Styler gel... 32 oz 4.99 Right now I'm using the new Argan Oil gel decided to try it since sis has the Olive Oil everyone raves about. One of my newest purchases. It looks a lot like the Olive oil just a different color and scent but its still very light. I like it. Not much Argan Oil as is its the last on the list. Works just as well as my old ampro gel with less flaking.

Hawaiian  Silky miracle worker - $ 5.00 16oz(may have been on sale @Sally's)  good to detangle adds shine

Mango and Lime firm wax and gel- ?price I believe it was under 10. I stopped using these because of the buildup from the wax but I love the smell maybe I'm too heavy handed with them :(. Maybe there's a more organic version of this scent? I would love to know.

Motions Marula Natural therapy hail and scalp oil. 7.00? I used this while my hair was relaxed and I loved the smell. I think they may have changed the formula cause before it had a stronger scent to me. The amount of actual Marula oil is small of course but its one of the few products in the Motions line I can find without a lot of the bad stuff in it.

Hello Hydration 5.00? brought at CVS on sale I believe its normally $8 for a 23oz bottle but that a lot.I brought this months ago I belive with the line was still new. I love this stuff its not expensive, and is extra thick and creamy as conditioner should be. I love the clean light smell.  Seems to work well with my hair is great for dangling/combing.

Acelite 3 $2.00. Found this at CVS . In a random section along with other foreign companies skin care products. Anywho its a little 4 oz bottle of olive, almond, and castor oil. I guess it was a little expensive for such a small amount but a little of the oil seems to do the trick. These oils are light so it doesn't seem to be greasy on my hair and as far as I know its just the oils according to the ingredients in the back.

Sorry....

I know its been a minute since I've posted and I'm behind on my reviews :(...In other news I really am going to get serious on the being more healthy portion of my hair regimen by eating better and trying to exercise. I've just been lazy bout it cause its still cold lol.

update

Ok tried the the greg juice and the burnt sugar from my Oyin haul last night and they smell great and they seem to do as advertised, but I needs to do a full wash and do a real trial with some other products cause I've been told you need to strip your hair to do a real experiment. That will happen this w/e as usual lol. In the mean time check out Oyin's youtube channel. I say one thing I wish I worked there cause they have too much fun in these podcasts. Lata XOXO

Oyin Handmade

Ordered Oyin Handmade over the weekend and got it already! I'm so anxious to play I love getting packages. Sorry guys I've already open opened it but I'll be sure to post up pics when I give it a try this weekend.

Oyin Handmade review

(orginally posted 2/2/11)Ok so I really did a good test of the giftpack and little extras I brought from Oyin  last weekend. The giftpack came in a little plastic baggie and contained goodies! It included a welcome letter with tips and suggestions, and 3 hard candies (how sweet). In the gift pack were trial sizes of "Greg Juice" "Honey Hemp Conditioner" "Shine and Define" and  "Whipped pudding". I also got trail sizes of the Honey Wash and burnt sugar pomade to complete the line. I couldn't wait to test the products so I immediately  tried the Greg Juice. It's definied on Oyin's site as a "refersher and can be used to moisterise and soften the hair. It does as described and has a citrus  scent. It also contains no oils so my hair didn't feel wieghed down or greasy as with most sprays. The smell while not overpowering seemed to last all day while I was a work. My only con is that my hair seemed a lil sticky but I once after I used it but I may have sprayed too much. I decided to wait a few days to try everything else. I first washed my hair with Aphogee (as a clarifier) then continue to wash and style my hair with the Oyin products. Honeywash lathered well and is very pleasent smelling. Oyin likes to use lavender and honey in a lot of their products which is good with me because not only are they plesent smelling they have benfitial properties for your hair. Although this might be bad if your allergic to these products so you may want to do a skin test first. After that I used the HoneyHemp conditioner. This conditioner gets raves reviews all over youtube so I had to give it a try. Like most of the products it smells delicious. It was rich and thick and is a good detangler. It left my hair nice and moisturized I washed it out but I'm sure you can leave a lil in maybe with some olive oil and do a prepo deep condtioner whateva you like. After that I rinse it out and started twistin my hair. Even though I cut off a lot of the relaxed ends it still takes me a good 2-3 hours to do nice sized twists. I will be doing my BC in a few weeks since I've found a salon that's gotten good reviews. Its just the matter of putting down the cash lol.

Sally's haul update

Ok so I got a small sally's haul for you guys:

Ecostyler with Aragon Oil 2.49

Tangle Teezer (yay! they only had 3 left) 9.49

Hawaiian Silky 14 in 1 mircle worker 4.99

I only went in there to pick up the tangle teazer but decided to get the other products since there was a sale and I don't just walk into Sally's everyday. I'm hoping I can use these as a replacement for the Kinky Culry Custard since I'm almost out at least for now. I spent $18 and was not about to spend another $30 bucks lol. Plus I have other products coming I don't wanna get to cluttered up with stuff. I had to pick up the Tangle Teezer because of all the problems I was having with de-tangling. I'm hoping it would help it has two sizes of bristles on the brush and that suppose to help loosen up the curls as they pass thru (I'm hoping you can tell from the pic my camphone does not do well in low light). Anywho I'll be using these later today so I'll be posting up a review lata. XOXO

random post up

Ok just letting you guys know I got the Kinky Curly review comin up. There's the Bmore Natural hair care Expo coming up in March. I went last year before with lil sis before I decided to go natural, so naturally I want to go back. My  Shea moisture I brought last summer  is about gone or done(expect the shampoo which I didn't use every wash and the DT I brought recently) so I decided to try a new line(yes product junkie in the house). Just brought  Oyin's sample gift pack. Once I use it I'll be doing a review on that as well. Their products get glowing reviews on youtube and the blogs. Their shop is located right in Bmore so imma have to pay them a visit. Another hot thing I keep hearing about is the Tangle Teezer. My hair for whatever reason is tangeling bad right now despite my cutting. I'm hoping the Tangle teezer will work where my brush/fingers have failed lol. It is an investment but it might be worth it if I can save some hair and stop all this breakage shedding.
