My New Natural Poo Method

Posted in Hair, Hair Archive | Friday, February 24th, 2012

I’m excited about my new shampoo reggie because it’s saves money, product, water and detangling time! Of course it’s sulfate, paraben, mineral oil and cone-free. I was inspired by Naptural85 on YouTube and this video and adjusted it to work for me. I still haven’t tried the hair washing clay she’s using, but I’m itching to, (no pun intended) because it’s all natural!

Olive Oil Pre-Poo Method

Posted in Hair, Hair Archive | Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

I was telling my cousin that I was looking for a new deep conditioner and she mentioned that she used olive oil to condition her hair and scalp.

Well duh.

I always have olive oil in the bathroom, whether I’m using it as a body oil or on my face for my Oil Cleansing Method I’ve used other oils in my hair, I don’t know why it never occurred to me to use olive oil as a pre-poo. A “pre-poo” is a hair conditioning method that you do before you wash your hair. In other words, you deep condition before cleaning your hair instead of after. I started

Review: Shea Moisture Organic Shea Butter Shampoo

I kept passing this stuff whenever I was at Target, because I remember the old Shea Moisture brand, (remember the ones in the white bottles with the red and green lettering?) and they were chock full of icky ingredients. Then one day someone asked me had I tried their reformulated shampoo and I got curious. I’d already tried their Deep Treatment Masque, and I really like it. So I thought I’d check the shampoo out for you guys. Here’s my review:

My girl Scarlett is back with some new products in the Wonder Curl line and I couldn’t wait to try them! I’ve reviewed and done giveaways on her Wonder Curl Get Set Hair Jelly here on the blog, and so I was excited when she told me that she was coming out with another product call Butter Than Love. It comes in two formulations: pudding and whipped. Here, I’ll review both:

Well here’s a happy accident… I mistakenly bought this product when I was looking to buy Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie. Instead of taking it back, I decided to try it and talk about it. So here’s my review of Shea Moisture’s Deep Treatment Masque:

 


Shea Moisture’s Deep Treatment Masque $9.99 (12 oz.)

Ingredients: Deionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), argan oil, cetyl esters, sea kelp extract, panthenol (vitamin B-5), ammonium salt, essential oil blend, avocado oil, lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) flower (and) lonicera japonica (Japanese honeysuckle) flower extract, tocopherol (vitamin E), hyssopus officinalis extract, salvia officinalis (sage) leaf and equisetum arvense extract, soybean oil, daucus carota sativa (carrot) seed oil.

 

The directions on this product state that it can be used as a deep conditioner, and that you should apply it to damp or wet hair, leave on for 5 or 30 minutes and thoroughly rinse. OR you can leave it in your hair and style as usual. Well, since I’m always trying

So this is more of the stash that I picked up on my trip to Karen’s Body Beautiful here in Brooklyn last month. I actually bought more of this product than her Creamyliscious but in hindsight, I think I should have swtiched that around.

Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love $18.00 ($8.00 travel size)

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter, Jojoba Butter, Aloe Butter, Essential and/or Fragrance Oils, Grapefruit Seed Oil & Vitamin

The consistency of this product is a like slightly melted pomade. The thing that’s nice about this product is a little goes a long way. It’s also extremely moisturizng.

Review: Trader Joe’ Tea Tree Tingle Condish

Posted in Hair, Hair Archive | Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

I know I’m like the last person to try using this product because I’ve been reading about it on natural hair boards and blogs for awhile now. It’s just that, if I’m already using products I like, that work for me, it’s hard to tear me way. (I’m a creature of habit I guess.) So when I ran out of my Giovanni Smooth as Silk Conditioner and I found myself in Trader Joe’s one day, I decided that I would try Trader Joe’s Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner. I’m glad I did!

Trader Joe’s Tea TreeTingle Conditioner $3.99 (16oz.)

Ingredients: water, tea tree, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, nettle oil, thyme oil, birch leaf oil, chamomile oil, clary, coltsfoot leaf, yarrow oil, mallow, horsetail oil, soybean protein, cetyl alcohol, vitamin e, trace minerals, citric acid, sodium hydroxymethylgycinate, grape seed oil

This stuff is great! It has incredible slip, and I was able to detangle my sopping wet hair
