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:

I’m back with another review of Amazing Botanicals Products. Last week I reviewed the Pumpkin Pomade and this week, I decided to double-up the review by trying both the Aloe Mint Spritz and the Hibiscus Cream Gel.

The Top 5 Oils For Healthy Beautiful Hair

There are an abundance of natural oils that can help you to achieve beautiful, healthy looking hair. In this blog post, I want to share my top five.

Without further ado, let’s get going…

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.

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

I live in Brooklyn, NY so I when I get the time I love dropping by Karen’s Body Beautiful. I’ve been lucky enough a couple of times to actually see Karen, (apron and all) mixing up a batch of her wonderful products. A couple of weeks ago I dropped by and picked up a sample size of Creamylicious and decided to share the results.

Karen’s Body Beautiful Creamylicious $8.00 (1oz)/$18.00(7oz)

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Rosehip Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Essential and/or Fragrance Oils, Vitamin E & Carrot Seed Oil

I love the fact that this product has all recognizable ingredients. It has a thick, creamy, cake-batter-like consistency, which at first I thought might not be moisturizing enough, but when I rubbed it between my fingers I could really feel the emollience of the shea butter and the oils in the product.

It’s not often that I can find a conditioner for less that $10 that can multitask well, so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Desert Organics Red Grape Conditioner. First, the important stuff:

Desert Organics Red Grape Conditioner $8.99 (on sale NOW for $5.40!)

Ingredients:

Aqueous Infusion of Certified Organic Extracts:, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) (Grape), Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (Olive), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (Grape), Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil (Sunflower), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Oil (Shea Butter), Emulsifying Wax (vegetable derived), Resveratrol, Red Wine Extract, Panthenol, Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E), Prunus Amygdalus Protein (Almond), Polyquaternium 7 (coconut derived), Proprietary Blend of Natural Essential Oils, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Glutamate, Potassium Sorbate

This product has no parabens, sulfates, cones, or other icky stuff, and it worked

I was curious when I saw that Jane Carter had come out with a sulfate-free shampoo. (One would think her line is completely sulfate-free, but unfortunately it’s not). However, most of her line is cone, paraben and mineral oil-free. This shampoo (and most of her line) is for all curly hair types. (I’ve been using this shampoo for a couple of weeks now, and here’s the scoop:

Jane Carter Solution: Hydrating Invigorating SLS-free Shampoo $7.99

Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Gel, Purified Water, (aqueous extracts of nettle, burdock, and rosemary), Sodium Methyl Sulfolaurate, Disodium Sulfolaurate, Sodium Sulfoacetate, Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl, Sarcosinate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocoamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate, Glycol Stearate, Sodium PCA, Polyquaternium-7, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, PG-Propyl Silanetriol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Extract Fragrance, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Citric Acid

I separated my hair and washed it in sections following my regular routine. I do like how well this
