Product Review

Hello to all of my lovely naturals,

So I have been looking for a reason to buy Shea Moisture's Organic Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie and coming up empty. Lucky for me my bestie decided to cut his hair off and gave me his. First it smells lovely now on to the real stuff. Now you all know that I like Shea Moisture because it is all natural but I am kind of peeved because it does not come with directions but I guess they figure you can use it any way you would like to. So I washed my hair with my home made shampoo and conditioned with my trader joes conditioner and then applied this to my hair. When it first goes on it is kind of thick and white and you have to work it in so once I did that I looked in the mirror and I could see that my curls were defined. Then I twisted it up in fat twists and let it air dry over night....Ummm my hair felt so dry like brittle it was horrible but it looked great. So I am at a cross roads with this product I will have to try it again and maybe instead of only putting this product on my hair I will first moisturize my hair and then see how it goes. It kind of sucks because I really want to try to wash and go but it is colder than a witches tit outside so that is a no go. Okay so my over all rating is a 5 out of 10 because I like how thick it is, the smell is amazing, and it did define my curls but I didn't like the way that it left my hair feeling parched after my twist out. I am happy that I didn't spend my money on it but I will give it another try. So you can pick up this product at Target and it cost $9.99 Have you had different or similar results with this product? Let me know


Always,

Organic Conditioner Review

Hello to all of my lovely naturals,

In my never ending search for natural products I decided to try some homemade conditioner. I am not really sure how I felt about it I tried a conditioner that added texture to your hair, but it didn't really appear like it had more texture and it didn't really feel moisturized. Let me show you the recipe before I continue:

1/4 ounce organic plain yogurt
1 egg yolk
1 smashed avocado


Okay so I mixed this up and placed this on my hair for 40 min and rinsed it out. I mean it was not bad but I didn't feel like it made my hair feel extra moisturized nor did it help to define my curls. Oh boy and the biggest factor in me not liking this homemade conditioner was that the egg white partially cooked in my hair, leaving behind little bits of egg. So I walk out of the bathroom and my husband was like..."wait what's that in your hair, I mean its all over your hair" he was referring to the little strings that the avocado had left behind in my hair. Needless to say I will not be trying this one again...but I do have this recipe for mayo conditioner. Don't get me wrong I love my Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque, but I also love to try new things. This however was a FAIL but hey on to the next..Do you all have any homemade conditioner stories that were positive or negative? Please share.

Always,

Stylin n Profilin: Fat Twist Out w/ Twist Headband

Hello to all my lovely naturals!!!!

Okay so I apologize about not posting yesterday but I was filming my video for youtube which I posted this afternoon so check me out at MzGrimmage!!! and tell me what you think. I know that I have been posting Sun-Thurs but now that I have my youtube up and working (well it needs a little bit more work) I will have to balance or better yet juggle the two, that being said there might be some changes coming; I will let you all know when I figure it out myself. Now that's out of the way I want to show you all this easy hair do that I did for my friend and fellow blogger Metaphor. I co-washed the hair with Trader Joes Nourish Spa Conditioner and deep conditioned it with Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque. Then I hit it with my whipped shea butter and I applied my natural spritzer on it, detangled, and twisted it into about 7/8 fat twists which then were pin curled. Once everything dried (she slept on it) I put some castor oil on my fingers and un raveled the twists, poofed the hair. I sectioned off the top and twisted from one ear to the next then secured the end of the twist with a bobby pin that I hid behind her ear. In order to maintain this hair style all you need to do is twist the back part of your hair every other day (or everyday its up to you) and un ravel in the morning. Check it out drop a line and tell me what you think.

Product Review Part 1

Hello my lovely followers and Happy Halloween!

Now that we go that out of the way,I went shopping for hair products this weekend! So I came back with Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque w/ Sea Kelp,Argan Oil & Shea Butter. Like I mentioned previously I read on the Thank God I'm Natural blog that this was an awesome brand. Not to mention that my friend has some of their products and they work fabulously on her hair and her daughters. If that was not enough
the ingredients are all things that I can pronounce,identify and are natural. So I am going to do my regimen and tomorrow give the results for the product.Hey if any of you all know of any great products or have used this product before please don't hesitate to leave your comment.



Always,
