Let's Jam Custard Flexible Hold Cream Gel 10oz

Image
For all of you product junkies, this one is hot off the press!  So new that most local Beauty Supply Stores don't even have this item on their shelves.  In fact, I went to my local BSS and they didn't have it and I traced off to Walgreens to locate it.  They had only one lone jar on the shelf and that was because the lip had been cracked.  Not wanting to venture to my area Walmart, I took the damaged jar to the Manager and she gave me a 15% discount off the $5.49 price for the 10 ounce jar! How I applied the product : I co-washed my hair with my Adama Jasmine and Peach Conditioner.  I then applied Tresemme Naturals Conditioner and finished detangling.  I did rinse most of the Tresemme out and left my hair very wet in order to apply the Let's Jam Custard. I rubbed a small amount in the palms of my hands and than found it most effective to apply to my tresses in sections.  After applying the Let's Jam Custard to each section, I also used my wide...

Scarves in Motion

Image
Scarves are as individual as the woman who dons it!  As exoctic as the way that she wraps them!  As retro as her last thought!  Whether worn on plantation fields are on a Milan's runway, you can always find the appropriate scarve to fit the occassion. The use of the scarf as an accessory is almost as old as time itself!  The Egyptians adorned them as far back as in 1350 B.C. when Egyptian Queen Nefertiti wears a finely woven scarf topped by a conical headdress.  They can be made of anything from cords, rope, cotton to finely made silk scarves. Scarves reflect the culture of the woman and her status in her tribe. Scarves are a reflection on how you move, live, and flow! © 2012 Lady Summerset for Crowning Glory Coils and Kinks.  All rights reserved.

Adama Peach Jasmine 100% Vegan Conditioner

Image
Understanding the health benefits of what we put on and in our bodies, I was in search for a clay-based hair conditioner.  I had heard a lot about Terressentils but was not convinced enough to pay the high shipping cost.  However, I will say that the product had a good price point and great reviews.  I felt that I needed a more economical alternative and decided to search for a clay-based alternative and found it in ADAMA. Prior to my search, I had not heard about this product line.   There were not too many reviews about the performance of the item.  I was able to find it on-line rather easily and the shipping and handling were either free or reasonable.  This item could be found at Ebay, Amazon, and some on-line health stores. Product D escription : This ancient remedy combines enriching trace minerals with moisture rich botanical herbs to repair dry ends and add intense shine to dull, weak hair.    Adama minerals nourish the sc...

Detangle Those Tresses

Image
To detangle our natural tresses can be quite a task, as most of us knows!  Those big hair, Coily Curls, and Kinks days can result in a tangled mane that is hard to tame. Most naturals detangle in the shower with a conditioner that has a good slip, a wide-tooth shower comb, and a good leave-in conditioner.  Naturals should never comb their tresses when hair is dry unless her mane is detangled and stretch through some kind of manipulation (blow drying, flat iron, or twist out). Natural tresses should be parted and washed, conditioned in sections.  This will enable you to do a thorough job without getting completely frustrated with the detangling process.  Ouchless pony holders and plastic hair clips keep the sections intact while working on another. A good detangling process will clear the tresses of shed hair, thereby, reducing the chances of the shed hair coiling around another strand and creating single-strand knots!  This also gives you an opp...

Reve Essentials Hair and Body Moisturizer

Image
I became aware of this recently launched "natural" hair and body product line through a fellow YouTuber called Jcokes7 and her video is entitled:  "The Happy Hair Wrecker -- ReVe Essentials - 125."  As always, we naturals are always looking for that "magic" product that's going to make our daily grooming a more pleasant and consistent experience. After watching Jcokes7's video and went directly to Reve Essentials' website.  The site is very straightforward about its product and makes no claims that this is a product that will "change" the way that you look at natural hair. The major issue I had with the site was that the descriptions were not matched with an "image/picture" of each item.  I had to go back and forth between the video and site to make sure I was ordering the item shown in that video.  However, I must admit that I went to the site several times and didn't purchase.  This was simply due to ALL the ...
