Kismera Energizing Leave in
Shortly after doing the big chop I fell in love with this product. It was a creamy leave in that had keratin in it (my favorite thing). I used the whole bottle and it gave me very good results. I wouldn’t repurchase though because there are some things I did not like about the product… First of all I LOVE the size of this product. I really like big pump bottles and tubs of conditioner. It almost felt too big when I was trying to finish it up! Like I said before it has a smooth creamy consistency. It...
QOD Keratin Damage Treatment
During the days of my transition I was pretty much trying anything with keratin in was having trouble keeping my relaxed hair from breaking off but nothing could really help. At the time was loving qod max and I decided that I would try this keratin reconstructor to see if it would help I bought the huge bottle during a black friday sale and it lasted me the entire year and then some. I used it several different ways and the best way was just simply sitting under the dryer with this on. I would also mix some...
Kuz/ Kismera Straightening Finishing Wax
During my transition I went to the salon and had my hair done with this product. It made my hair gorgeously shiny and prevented it from reverting until I washed my hair. I thought that if I was to buy this myself I could get those salon results at home. This is an Italian product from the KUZ line of hair products. They are really high quality products and cost a pretty penny for a 16 oz jar. This particular product was made to smooth “unruly” hair, whatever that means. lol The product itself is a thick cream with...
Adventures with my new diffuser!
Since I am in a winter wash n go challenge I began looking for ways to dry my hair faster so I wont get sick from wet hair during the winter. My soft bonnet was not cuttin’ it. It was giving me weird, smushed wash n goes that looked like they belonged in a horror movie. So I decided to spend my coins on a cheap diffuser from the beauty supply store. The brand of diffuser I bought is Diane, it was only about 6 dollars or so. Its not fancy but I figured it would get the job...
Novex Gold Booster conditioner
During one of my hauls I was able to find Novex gold Booster at a steal of a price! I ended up purchasing two and loving this deep conditioner ever since! It’s not like the other novex conditioners. Instead it is super concentrated and I feel it works better than the Novex conditioner in the tub! The product comes in a very large tube. Think of a jumbo sized toothpaste! LOL The tube itself is made of metal and you need to puncture the tip of the tube in order to get the product out. The packaging is so...
ABBA Creme Masque
During my usual ebay searches i was able to get a couple of these ABBA cream masks for very cheap. This is probably the most “natural” product I have ever used! I am always using commercial products so this was just a first step to a natural product for me. Even though this is old packaging the product inside worked extremely well! The packaging is a bit plain and simple but the product was great. I used it as both a rinse out conditioner and a deep treatment mask. I loved it more as a deep treatment and my...
Rusk Being Gutsy Hair Thickener
In an effort to thicken up my hair I decided to try Rusk Being Gutsy hair thickener. As it turns out it was a pretty good curl definer as well. This product left me pleasantly surprised. The packaging was pretty plain yet modern looking with a purple and grey color scheme. I thought the tube was a bit small at first but once I started to use the product I quickly came to realize that not much was needed to do the trick. The products itself is a thick custard like texture with an inoffensive fresh scent. It felt...
Progress Pudding: September ’14
Hey everybody! I just want to quickly update the progress my hair has made over the last few months. Its not much however but every inch counts! I’ve never had long natural hair, even as a child. A part of me thinks that long hair is genetic. I have been working so hard with my hair and I don’t see much progress. Perhaps I need to make a new regimen… Here is my hair from December 2013. The ends suck and I did a poor job of straightening. I also had a lot of layers in this picture. Here...
Arosci Luxe Curls Defining Cream
After enjoying straight hair for a while I decided to go back to wearing my curls. This was the perfect time to try something new so I decided to try Arosci Luxe Curls Defining Cream. I received this product from winning their contest on Facebook. The packaging was very clean and there was plenty of product inside for several applications. I did find though that I needed to use a lot of product so it could define my curls. The product itself had an herbal-soapy scent which is hard to describe. All of their products have a distinct aroma...
Rollersetting with Hourglass/ Conici Rollers
After some time working with Conici rollers I finally figured out how to use them to attain the best results on naturally textured hair. It took a few bad hair days but I got it eventually! The first time I used them I decided to work with pins since I assumed they give me more tension and smoother results. The pins I had were not the pins from the Capelli Care website so I am not sure if their pins were longer. The pins I used were the standard plastic 3 inch pins. The holes in the rollers do...
