I ENDED MY NO BUY!

Hello Beautiful Curlies,

For those who do not know I won a ton of products from a naturallycurly.com giveaway last year. In my opinion, my family disagrees with this statement, but i was not a product junkie before that giveaway. Something about getting a lot of products to try kick started my inner pj. HOWEVER, it was brought to my attention by my family that I should go on a no buy for 6 months. And that six months has ended at such a good time. Target is currently having a BOGO 50% off sale for Shea Moisture.



Well I took advantage and brought 4 products. The Curl and Style Milk, Deep Treatment Mask, The Purification Mask and the Smooth and Repair Nourishing Hair Masque. I took advantage because it seems like Shea Moisture never has a good sale going on, or maybe I'm missing them. At my local Target these are 11.99 each and they became $9 each (which isn't too good but hey what can ya do?) I have just tried the Purification mask last night to relieve my itchy scalp and it was a good experience but I will be trying it again before I do a review. Hopefully its not too late for you to pick something up on sale too.

Side note: Please check your products before you buy them because one of my was clearly tested by some inconsiderate fool and i didn't realize it until I got home.

New High Porosity Regimen/ Bumble and Bumble & Original Moxie Product Review

Welcome back beautiful curlies!

In my last post I told ya I discovered that I may have high porosity hair based on how my hair behaves after a ACV rinse. Now since then i have been really caught up in my family's birthdays, as well as my own, and my hair has taken a back seat. Now I knew I was not going to have the time to maintain my hair so I put them in twists (bad idea). For many twists are a protective style but for my hair they are destructive! They look horrible after only a few days and when they are taken down its tangles galore.

So last night i applied some Tresseme Naturals (white cap) to my hair to moisturize and provide slip. Then I used a applicator bottle to apply my avc rinse concentrating on my scalp first then on the length of my hair. Secondly I used the Aussie 3min Miracle to detangle and deep condition. Okay I never rinsed it out because I was tired of getting my hair wet so I used a cotton T to soak up the excess product and went on to styling. Now the plan was a wash and go. However, my hair doesn't dry in time for work the next day so I did medium-large braids instead. One side I used Bumble and Bumble Bb curl conscious defining creme, on the other side Original Moxie Shape Shifter Reforming creme.

This will be a short review because I simply hate long ones. The curl conscious creme is a thick white cream that goes on smooth but in my opinion provides only some definition. I still had frizz and as the days go on that frizz will only increase. So...overall my review is a 2/5.

The Shape Shifter is quickly becoming a favorite for me. Now i noticed it doesn't work for me unless I use the acv rinse first. It is a runny cream that is sandy in color and smells herbal and awful. However, goes on like a dream and provides a nice amount of slip and SHINE!!! Not like a oily shine but a hydrated shine. My hair looked so much better, the health of my hair looked so much better. I didn't need a lot of it either.

Well i will be using this regimen for a while to see how this works out minus the Bb curl conscious creme. Take care curlies!
