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,

Verano

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.
