http://amazingbotanicals.bigcartel.com/category/jewel-afrika-designs?page=2 Saying It Loud !

Eco Styler Custard Recipe Always in search of a better product, newer combinations, and simply something that tickles my product junkie-holism! This is not a new idea.  It's been around for some time being passed from one internet or on-line hair guru to another! The receipe is quite simple and foolproof.  The ingredients are easily accessible and can be just as easily interchanged or replaced by your personal favorited products. I used the Olive Oil Styling Gel, which I love!   The product doesn't contain alcohol, which is drying to the tresses and allows you to make a more natural hair end product. Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel Ingredients:  Water, Carborner, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, PVP, Glycerin, Triethanolamine, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate, Polysorbate 20, Tetrasodium EDTA, Olive Oil, Fragrance, Blue 1, Yellow #1 Ingredient Lesson : Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate:    It is a chemical preservative commonly found in "natural" cosmeti...

Curl Kit -- Curly By Nature

Image
  Something new for natural curly, wavy, and kinky ladies to try!  Again, while perusing the naturalistic world, I came across an item called the CurlKit!   It has a subscription cost of $20 a month.  The subscription cost is taken out of your account on the 15th of the previous month and the items are received around the 7th day on the following month. The package will include a random assortment of 6 to 9 products (some will be samples and some will be full size product), along with some literature for naturals!
