Quick Review Follow-up

Last time I checked in I posted about Shea Moisture products. Its been about two weeks since I started using the products and I am in love with most of the products. I am currently using this on my natural hair, but I think the shampoo should be a staple whether rocking your natural hair or your weave install. The shampoo is moisturizing and does a really good job of  cleansing without stripping the hair. I would specifically recommend for curly installs; with moisture being key to getting bouncy curls that "pop".
On the down side f the products, I didn't like the masques, they did nothing for me. I am not sure how well the masques work on your hair extensions, when it calls for deep conditioning. Overall I had a good experience with the products and it helps that I got them at a good deal!

Hello.....SheaMoisture!

Hey its been awhile but I'm back! Fortunately we have been really busy but unfortunately blogging has fell by the wayside. Anywho I wanted to share a new product I came across and the great deal I found on it at my local Walgreen's. As you all know (if you have read previous entries), under this weave I am a natural girl. Well I am taking a few months to let my hair rest, let my curls pop and my fro...well be a 'fro. With that said, I set out for some products to play with. I came across a product line called Shea Moisture and after much research of reading natural hair/curly hair blogs, watching videos etc, I decided to try it. Well luckily for me the entire line was on sale at Walgreen's buy 1 get 1 Free!
Well....I tried the shampoo tonight and I LOVED it!!! It is sulfate free, and pretty much chemical free. It's gentle and moisturizing. (I think this would be a great product for washing your wavy/curly installs as well).
Along with the shampoo I bought a few other items to try (I couldn't pass a B1G1 deal).  I am now under the dryer with the deep conditioning masque and will be trying a twist out with their hair milk and hair smoothie...so I shall report back. Hopefully you get a chance to try it, I think the shampoo will be a staple for my summer wavy/curly installs as well. But hurry, the sale is only until April 2nd.

12 Days of Christmas

Black Friday

Product Spotlight: Moroccan Argan Oil

I often get asked what  I use in my hair and/or asked advice on the do's and don'ts of what to use on your hair extensions. My advice is pretty standard no matter the texture, length, curl patterns etc. Generally I advise to stay away from oils, because of their tendency to weigh down the hair. But there are always exceptions to the rules. I was in Sally's one day buying Caruso Steam Rollers (another post for another day) and on the phone simultaneously with my friend, who was so excited about me being in Sally's and about this product she recently purchased that she wanted me to try....Moroccan Argan oil. Well I had recently read really good things about Moroccan oil on a few natural hair blogs and wanted to try it but hadn't ordered it yet, so it wasn't really a hard sell. Anywho I buy the oil, take it home and try it out.....um yeah....IN LOVE. Let me tell you, the oil feels a little thick when you put it in your hands, but when you rub your hands together it's really thins out and feels a little silky. When you put it on your hair, your hair immediately absorbs it. There is no oily residue, no greasy look, no stringy oily mess....good stuff right. Reading the back of the bottle that is exactly what it promises, it creates a natural looking sheen on your hair. Its so light that you can put a little on daily if you so desired. The best thing it is all natural, derived from Mother Nature herself, the oil is from the Argan Tree native to Morocco. The price isn't too bad....right around $10 but you get a good size bottle and a few drops go a long way. It also works really well on skin and has a mild, sweet, nutty smell. And I almost forgot to mention how soft my natural hair and my hair extensions are after using it....Loves it!  Try it out let me know what you think.
