product review

organics olive oil styling gel.

i gave this product 2 tries on freshly shampooed and conditioned hair and both attempts were total failures. the texture is like a custard and it smells good. i wanted to like it but both times it seemed to straighten out my curls rather than define them. the directions state that it's great for roller setting or sculpting. perhaps if i decide to do either of those i'll give this product another try. until then my verdict = FAIL

the experiment & love.

 the experiment.

mini me and i have set a goal to try a different hairstyle each week.  today i took down some 5 day old twists. i wanted to try an updo like the one on janelle monae.

sadly my hair was not long enough...but i made do with what i have and i liked the outcome.

mini me did a deep cleanse with Bentonite clay, then applied Suave Naturals Coconut conditioner as a leave in. her ringlets are always defined with/without product.

love.

my hair is super dry like to the tenth power and i have tried all kinds of mixtures and too many conditioners to name to no avail. over the weekend while in target i came across herbal essence hydralicious reconditioning conditioner. 

 where have you been all my life?  i liked the smell and it was instant softness as i applied it but i knew the true test would be when i rinsed it out. moisturized, defined, and super soft. i have finally found a con that works for my hair. i am in love.
