My New Best Friends

Well after all of my ranting about needing different products I decided to go out an do some "me" shopping.  Look at what I found at Walgreens:

Nourishing coconut milk shampoo and conditioner.  I bought these because  they were buy one get one free and they had 50% more product for free.  So for $7.99 I think I got a pretty good deal.


I immediately went home and washed my hair!  Must I say that I really, really love these products.  I went back to Walgreens to purchase another set but all of the bonus sizes were gone so I didn't purchase anymore.

I also purchase some Elasta QP products from Walgreens.  The Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer (bonus size 80% free) was about $3.99 and the Glaze Conditioning Shining Gel (50% more) was about $3.49.  This was a very good day for me.  I love, love the Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer.  It smells yummy, kind of like mango ice cream.

I used these products to do finger coils in my hair.  It turned out pretty good.  Usually I would use gel to do these coils and like I said earlier I was looking for other products (not wet ones) to do styles with.  I think I have found that product!  My hair is shiny and it's very soft but it holds the styles perfectly.  I'm going to see how long I can rock these coils.

June Update

Yea, I have been natural for 7 months after transitioning for 6 months.  I am enjoying this!  Now I'm wondering if I still have a twa.  My hair is too long for wash and goes but it's not long enough for the beautiful twist outs and braid outs that I see all over You Tube.  What's a girl to do?

A friend at work asked me when was I going to straighten (flat iron) my hair.  Well I haven't really given it a thought.  If I flat iron my hair in this Florida heat it will revert back before I can make it in the office.  I really don't have any desire to straighten my hair at this time.  I love the curly locs that I have.

I still have not found the perfect curl defining product(s) for me.  Do you have any suggestions?  The Eco Styler gel really works to define my curls but I want to find something that's not so wet.  When I use the Eco Styler gel it takes a really long time to dry and I don't like walking around with a wet head.

I'm still learning and adjusting to my natural hair and I have no desire to go back to the creamy crack.
