Natural Hair, Winter Blues!

Natural Hair Winter Blues!

Every winter we are faced with dry tresses due to the frigid winds of this season.  We often combat the ravages of the winter season with our satin-lined hats, caps, and scarves to guard our hair from the elements.

Why is the Winter so Rough for our natural hair?  Because it sucks the moisture right out of our tresses!  That dryness than causes our already fragile strands to tangle.  Tangles create knots and knots slows down the washing and styling processes.

My major issue for this season is that I am a primarily "Wash And Go" lady and until this year, I was able to maneuver the winter season fairly well but this season my "Wash And Go" wreaked havoc on my work scheduled.

This caused me to look primarily at protective styling as an option, especially for Monday through Friday.  I then added wigs of various styling options and colors into my arsenal.  This allowed me to keep my hair braided, moisturized, and protected until the Spring.

What is even more exciting is that with all the new "natural" hair options from both European and African American companies have allowed us to not skip a beat in keeping our natural hair styling.

Over the next weeks, we will be looking at some of these options.

Until next time, Happy Curls to You!

Eco Style Olive Oil , Shea Butter, Black Castor Oil

Hello ladies, Eco Style has another new product!  Eco Style Olive Oil, Shea Butter, and Black Castor Oil gel.

I went to my local Beauty Supply Store to pick up some Eco Style Black Castor Oil and Flaxseed gel when I said the shelves were filled with this gold container.  So, of course, I reached for the jar and started to read it!

A one stop product for Wash N Gos!  At first I put the jar back on the shelve to get my usual but the one product only intrigued me.  I picked up the jar and off to the counter I went.

My Experience:

I washed my hair with African Soap Peppermint shampoo, applied a wash out conditioner, I applied a coconut leave-in and shingled the Eco Style Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Black Castor Oil gel.

What I Notice:

• The flip-top jar was convenient and  I liked.
• The fragrance of the gel was soft and floral
• The gel was "gold" and had a glimmer shine to the gel.
• This gel felt thicker than the Olive Oil version and similar to the Black Castor Oil and Flaxseed version.
• This gel also seem to "weigh" hair more than the Olive Oil and Castor Oil/Flaxseed version .
• I was surprised that this gel dried faster than the other two versions also.
• Eco Style Gold has a "10" hold.
• Hair was not hard to the touch when dried.

What I liked about the product:

I didn't get that jheri curl look or texture when my hair dried.

Happy Curls to You!
