My granddaughter was scheduled to have her hair braided and that put me in search of a heat protectant for her natural hair. I ended up in Walmart and the first item I saw in the area of heat protectants was Aussie. I had never used any Aussie products, so this was my first experience with this line. It was the bright purple packaging that really caught my attention. It had a great price point of $4.97 so I took the item to the register and paid for it and took it home. I really didn’t know what to expect from the product because I haven’t used heat on either of our hair for over a decade. I section her hair in approximately eight sections and sprayed each section as I blowed dried her hair. It had a light floral fragrance, sprayed easily, and was not too oily. I was pleased with the outcome of the usage of this product on her 4a, 4b hair. Now, the hair was not bone straight but made her tresses more manageable and the right texture for braiding. If you would like to s...

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 pro...
