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.

Product Junkie Withdrawals

Hello Beautiful Curlies!

I am writing this post because I want a record of what I, not only emotionally but physically too, am going through. Black Friday was last month and I didn't get a single thing. Don't get me wrong I had a list with almost 20 products on my phone but realized that I haven't used up what I had. And it I am on a no-buy till march.
 So while everyone is getting there black Friday discounted products and making videos I noticed I physically have been running my hands through my hair constantly. This is serious y'all! Is it possible to be addicted to buying hair products? Not necessarily using them, because in all honesty some of them ain't worth it, but just buying them. For example, I am a big fan of CurlyGirlJess on YouTube, and yes I know we don't have the same curl pattern but i don't care, and she did a haul that included kizuribeauty products. Their products are AFFORDABLE!!!! The first thing I thought of was this might be a replacement for Shea moisture because i don't know if anyone else is noticing this but Shea moisture is upping their prices and in some products (the style milk) decreasing product sizes. I really wanted to try their products and they are now having a sale for 20% off(ending today of course i find out about it the last day of the sale). If anyone is interested let me know if you heard or used and liked their products. Take care Curlies!

Shea Moisture Darcy Botanical Soultanicals Product Review

Hey beautiful curlies!

I recently feel in love with my curls...again! I, like many other naturals, I got frustrated with my lack of curls. Everyone repeats the same theory that type 4 hair does not have a curl pattern. If I hear that one more time imma lose it. Its a lie! How can your hair be curly and have no curl pattern? I'll admit type 4 hair does not clump its curls easily but it still has a curl pattern. Anyway I had a failed braidout turn magnificent braid out the other day but my hair was really dirty so I had to wash it, don't ya hate that?

Anyway I washed with Shea Moisture Curl and Shine Shampoo. I noticed some bottles of this is a white and creamy but mine is alot darker idk why. Here's what I did:

  • Detangle hair with Herbal Essence Honey I'm Strong Conditioner & water. Braid hair.
  • Shampoo twice, once w/ braids focusing on scalp & second with hair unbraided to make sure to clean strands.
  • Apply Darcy's Botanical Pumpkin Seed Conditioner w/ hair in 4 sections. Left it on overnight.
  • Apply Soultanicals Murula-muru moisture guru and braid hair.
To me every shampoo is pretty much the same. I never had a shampoo that I loved and I dilute every shampoo I use. 
The Darcy's Botanical Conditioner is hands down the thickest conditioner I ever came across. The bottle is pretty full and I still had to muscle the bottle to squeeze some of it out. I love the smell (pumpkin) but it has no slip at all. It does provide moisture but wow no slip is a big offense to me. 
I already have a full review of Soultanicals but ill mention that I like the Muru guru. It has a banana smell, some slip and seals in the moisture. All in all I like this butter/cream.

I thought I'd keep this review short and sweet. Let me know if you guys want a more in depth reviews or short reviews. Take care beautiful curlies!
