Products I love right now...

I'm not a PJ (product junkie) anymore. When I first started on my natural journey, I spent a small fortune trying products, but now that I'm 6 years in, I'm like "eh" with products. I've found a "concoction" that works for ME and I'm really satisfied with it...I've been using it for 2 years now, and I've not found anything that has made me want to try something different. It's basically stuff that I got from the store and mixed them together. It was a recipe I got from a girl friend of mine. Anyway, it's basically conditioner (50%), setting lotion (40%), and sweet almond oil (10%) mixed in a bottle...I change the percentages depending on my hair's needs and depending on the weather...

I have been using some commerical however, and I'll post reviews every now and then when I venture out and try them...

I got a sample pack from http://www.shescentit.com/ a couple of weeks ago. I really like her products. Nadia is a 90-100% Natural Hair care line that was created with the emphasis on hair care a more natural and healthier way. It is perfect for chemically treated hair as well as Natural hair. (taken from the website) . The samples are a good size too...Enough for 2 to 3 shampoos...

I tried:

The Jojoba Hemp Conditioning Shampoo. I really like this product...First and formost, there are NO sulfates it the shampoo...Yippie Dippie for that, right? Yes. Like most sulfate free shampoos, there wasn't a GANG of suds, but there was enough there to more than get the job done...After I shampooed, my hair didn't feel coated or stripped. It was really gentle, and it smelle pretty good too. Cost: $12 for 8oz (when I checked). It boasts some really great ingredients too: Aloe Vera, Hemp Seed Oil, Panthanol, Glycerine, Castor Oil, and others...

Fortifying Hair Masque. This is a protein conditioner for normal to dry hair. I wasn't overly impressed with this, but I was impressed with the ingredients. Would I use it again? Without a doubt. I don't use protein conditioners very often, but when I do, I could see myself using this over the other protein condish I have. I think it's the price that has me going "eh", and the fact that I'd have to order it online...BUT it's a good product. It gave my hair good slip and my comb literally slid through my hair...What more can I ask for??? How about a Nadia store next door to my house??? More great ingredients too: Shea Butter, Olive oil, wheat protein, panthenol, and so much more...$12 for 8 oz.

Avacado Conditioner. I wont lie...I was really skeptical about this condtioner...Why? Umm, the color...Me no like it...I swear my Grandmother has a bottle of lotion under the sink in her bathroom that has been there since the 70's that's this EXACT color...I promise. Other than that, it's good stuff...Gave great slip...Didn't coat my hair, and left it really light after it dried. Its calling card is that it's for hair that's been fried and overly-processed. Again, she's doin' it with the great ingredients: Avocado oil, grapeseed oil, and castor oil. 8oz for $6.




Banana Brulee Moisturizing Deep Conditioner. In love with this stuff...Let me tell you...This gave my hair super "slip". It smells good which is something I have to have...(a good smelling products). It has a nice thick consistency, too. I conditioned, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then rinsed. I didn't apply any products and let it air dry to see what it did...Bouncy hair...Fluffy...It's a keeper. Again, great ingredients: Essential oils, bananas, castor oil, glycerine, coconut oil, babassu oil, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, and other good stuff. 8oz for $11.00...
