Happy New Year to everyone!!!
I am kind of a product junkie (yeah). Secretly I think a lot of naturalistas are product junkies, lol. I have been on the grease band wagon, I have tried Miss Jessie's, Beautiful Curls, Curl Enhancing Smoothie and so many others that I can't even remember.
The last couple of weeks I have been revisiting some of those products. The Cantu Shea Butter is going in the trash! It makes my hair look dull and it feels dry so goodbye. I retried the Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Smooth-n-Hold Pudding. I can't stand the smell but I wanted to give it another try. I did a wet twist out and a dry twist out with this and I really loved the results. Once it dried I couln't smell it. I did however notice that I had flakes falling from my hair. I shampooed my hair and was back to the drawing board :(.
Will looking through my stash I saw some raw shea butter and I decided to do something with it. I whipped up the shea butter with Jamacian Black Castor Oil, extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil. OMG!!! I got the best twist out ever! After shampooing I didn't use any leave in conditioner. All I did was add the shea butter mixture to wet hair. I don't know about you but when I go to bed with wet hair, I wake up in the morning with wet hair. Not this time. My hair was completely dry and super soft and it was soooo shiny.
The next night I dampened my hair with water and did some chunky twists and it turned out really good the next morning.
I think I have found my staple product.
I'm going to take a picture and post it soon.
Talk to you later...
