Holiday Rush!!

So it is almost that time of year again, you know the time when people are running over you in the stores with buggies and strollers!! Lol  I've recently just started a new job and things have been crazy!! I'm currently doing some photography work so things have been extra busy since this is the time of year when many families are coming together to take family photographs for the holidays. I've really been thinking about (again thinking) doing a braid out on my hair. My only thing is, that it seems that my hair has more tangles when I'm unbraiding my hair. I was wondering how many of you prefer a braid out to a twist out?? What kind of results do you receive from each?? If any of you have any tips on having a defined braid out let a sista know!!!

As soon as I can get to my hair I will be updating you! Lol Until then, I will be rocking my wigs!! Hate it or love it!!!

A Shea Moisture twistout..Day 2!!!

Hello everyone, just wanted to share with you my second day twist out!! It's even more fluffier than the day before. I am definitely loving the moisture that my hair is retaining from the smoothie and the souffle. I have never thought that i would ever be able to to get a really soft, defined twist out on my hair!! I mean I even got the end to curl up and they stayed that way all day and with not much shrinkage. I don't say this often but I have definitely found a staple moisturizer!!

Love it!!!

Product Review: Shea Moisture

So it has been a few since my last post and I have been quite busy with work and my B-day lol, but all the while I had to catch the Shea Moisture bogo sale at my local Walgreens!!! I have been eyeballing these products every since I've tried the black soap purification mask. I ended up purchasing the Curl Enhancing Smoothie and the Curling Souffle'!

I'm not big on wash and go's quite yet but these products worked beyond excellent for my twists/twist out!! I mean it usually takes me a while before I buy into the hype of a product but, after reading and watching review after review I must say it is the best moisturizer that has ever touched my 4C hair!!! Amazing!!! Now if I had just known about this product some time ago well then....yea I would have been better off!!! As for the Souffle, I have to play with the product a bit more. It is excellent though for holding your twist and braids without the crunchiness. Just make sure you use a very small to dime size, if that, amount on each section or you will have a sticky mess on your hands!!. A little of that goes a very long way. All in all I am in love with these products and I do plan on repurchasing in the future!

Let me know what products you purchased on your Shea Moisture haul!!!

What's your experience with Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue????

Thankfully, I have been really busy lately because I've started a new job which mean more $$$$$$$ so I have not had a chance to write. Today I received my sample of the "Curly Meringue" from the Miss Jessie's Hair care line. Now, I've been wanting to try out their products for a while but every time I look at those prices I just can't purchase them! Although I have read and watched many reviews about this particular product in the end it seems to boil down to one thing and that is "you won't know how well something works on your hair until you try it!" That, my dear friends is exactly what I plan to do. I will most likely use it on my twists/twist out because I'm not into the wash and go's just yet perhaps, when shrinkage is not factor lol. Well feel free to comment and let me know your experiences about any of their products that you have tried!!! Oh yea by the way if it does do the job, I will definitely be repurchasing during the holidays!!

Carols Daughter Monoi Repairing Hair Mask

(Excuse the pic..I am extra tired but I had to make this post!! Lol)

A few of you may began to realize that I really love free samples. Well after I came home today from work I discovered a small package in the mail for me. Oh my what could it be? A free sample from the new line of Carols Daughter products, the MONOI Repairing hair mask!!! Can you say super excited??? Lol. I would suggest that many of you should search sites for free product samples and I guarantee it would be worth your time browsing the web for them. I feel that if you can try a sample first before committing to the full size it will always be a great help in making the decision about the product and if it's right for your hair. I know many of us naturals had to learn the hard way (well at least I did lol). As soon as I try this product I will be sure to give you my review and results especially since it claims to reduce breakage by 96% just after one use...yea we will see about that!!!

If any one has tried this or other products in this line please feel free to comment and let me know how your experience was.
