However, a large majority of users layer it under their gel and scrunch out the hardness later and the smell dissipates after hair has completely dried. This is one of those products that people either overboard love it or don't like it.   Product Description Dryness causes fizziness and out of control hair. Curl keeper controls all frizz and allows you to become the master of gorgeous frizz free curls. Curl keeper ...

Conditioner Only 30-Day Challenge with Tresemme Naturals

Image
$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...

Product Swapping

Image
Picture by:   http://www.kinkycurlyhairchick.com/when-product-junkyism-sets-you-straight Can your bathroom cabinet be mistaken for a Walmart, Target, or Walgreens hair product shelf?  That may signify that you have a problem with perusing the hair product shelves once to often! Who isn't guilty of that?  Wanting to try out the latest product that has hit the market. Or, a YouTube.com hair guru that has shared another wonderful product that they are using which yielded great results!  There is product temptation all around us! One of my solutions has been to swap products with a natural haired coworker!  We have different textures of hair.  I'm 3b/c-4 and she is 4a-b.  We discuss with each other what products that we have that hasn't worked for us and then ask whether the other is interested in trying it out.  We don't charge each other, it is a free and easy exchange and a way to keep our cabinets from product overload! As Always, Ha...

Picture By:   appleloniasway To get 10% off your Membership Enrollment  Please use Referral Code: http://curlkitshop.refr.cc/TR98DS7 These were the items and products that were included in the May Curl Kit Box.  I must say that the box, once opened, let out the sweet and natural smells of the Nyah Soap and the Peach Bellini Soy Candle.  Let's take a look at what was in the box! ORI Essentials Conditioner http://oriessentials.com/ ORI (pronounced "or-ree") Essentials Cleansing Conditioner was a full-size bottle. In researching this product, I realized that this company was fairly new to the "natural or organic" arena. In fact, the website only had a one-page mission statement about themselves and their product along with a picture of several products that they intended to offer. However, they do have a Tumblr.com and a Facebook page. Next product, Yum Yum Candle (7.5 oz. recycled glass) for $15.99 http://www.yumy...

Yet Another Hair Type?

While I was researching 3c Hair Texture, I came across Honey, Brown, Sugar's Blog on hair typing.  However, I decided to read the comments and came across one from "Just Love Me Nothing Less."  She asked the blogger to take a look at another Hair Type and gave the following link: http://www.honeyfig.com/en/products/hair_care/hair_types/index.html So, I decided to take the bait and ended upon the blog Honey Fig. The following was taken from her Blog: Type 5a Relaxed Now, this may go against all that you have read about Hair Types. You might say that relaxed hair does not have a category of its own, but we beg to differ. Relaxed hair is definitely in a class unto itself. Once the hair has been chemically altered, you will have to respect it and treat it differently from the other types. That being said, you should focus on the moisture retentiveness and rebuilding any lost protein. To prevent damaged to the hair it is suggested to apply a treatment oil ...
