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.
