  DOUX Pop Lock This is a new product by The Doux.Com.  This product boosts that it will give your hair:  shine, definition, it resists humidity but most of all "keep curls Poppin" for days! What's in the product?  Honey, Argan Oil, Keratin Amino Acids, and Silk Amino Acids. I picked up the product after coming across some YouTube reviews by some Natural Hair Content Creators.  I liked what I saw and decided to take a trip to Walmart to pick the product up.  There were plenty of bottles on the shelf.  My first observation was the size of the bottle.  It is 8 fluid ounces but looked quite small a bottle to tackle the task of a Wash N' Go! This product is part of The Doux Wash And Go Collection.  The price of the bottle varies from $12.99 to $15.99 and can be found at places like Walmart and Sally's.  This product can also be purchased from The Doux's website for $14.99.

The warm weather is upon us and I've been experimenting with a new hair routine.  I had been previously using the Shea Moisture Peace Rose Oil Gel and Conditioner.   I liked the product but you have to use the Peace Rose regular Conditioner as a leave-in.   Anyhow, my hair has always loved the Shea Moisture Curling Soufflé Gel and I decided to try it for the warmer season since it is heavy on glycerin, by the way, which my hair simply adores. My hair needs water at least every three days but in the warmer weather with perspiration and being outdoors more, I really prefer to rinse my hair under the shower nightly (daily).   I find that if I’m just rinsing my hair that the Shea Moisture Curling Soufflé Gel holds up very well unlike other products that tend to breakdown or needs to be reapplied after rinsing.   I also like to “oil rinse” my hair too and this product seems to compliment that regimen well. I know, I know but that stickiness!   It ...

$4.86 Walmart/$5.37 Amazon.com for 25 fl. ounces When I first Big Chopped and had about an all over inch of hair on my head, grooming my tresses was easy and carefree.  At that time, however, I used a lot of gel.  I didn't mind then because I redid my hair EVERYDAY by jumpimp in the shower, applying my leave-in and then using my hands to smooth through the gel. As my hair continued to get longer, I realized that I had to change my routine.  I than tried YouTuber MahoghanyCurls method of "only" using her conditioner as a leave-in and "styler."  My hair grew nicely and continued to retain length. I then started writing my blog and started trying out different products.  Looking for the "Holy Grail" product that would make my daily routine and regiment simply, easy, and effective.  Until one day I realized that my hair wasn't retaining the moisture like it had been when I was using the "Only Conditioner" method.   So, I deci...
