I have been dying to report on the Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter & the Aloe Whipped Butter Gel. They both really seem to be the same consistency. I have used both and it seems they can be used separately or together as a moisturizing, sealing, leave-in combo type product. They both have a soft hold as well for twists. I think the Aloe Whipped Butter Gel provides more of a shine though and so far that is the only difference that I noticed from the two. Both products go on very smooth and I am able to … Continue reading Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter & Aloe Whipped Butter Gel – Product Review
I’m sticking to my regimen>>>yay me!!! I wasn’t feeling my twistout maybe due to me using a moisturizer underneath my styler…idk but I went back to square A. I did the following: *Cleanser – Jessicurl Cleansing Cream *Conditioner – SheScentit Honey Rinse *Leave In – Karens Body Beautiful Sweet Ambrosia *Styler – Beija Flor Naturals Creme Brulee I love the JC cleanser as it goes on smooth and I’m able to detangle pretty easily too. Again…the SSI conditioner makes my hair so soft. I detangled with it and left it on for 10 mins. The KBB leave in goes on … Continue reading Another Great Twist Out with Beija Flor Naturals and Karen’ Body Beautiful
I was going to wait until tomorrow but I decided to wash my hair tonight. Routine below. * Prepoo – Sheamoisture curl enhancing smoothie – I saturated my ends with this like an hr before actually cleansing. *cleanser – Jessicurl cleansing Cream – I love this cleanser because I can detangle with it. *protein treatment – Curl Junkie Repair Me! Left on for 10 mins with a cap. *Deep Conditioner – Jessicurl Weekly Deep Treatment. I love this conditioner but the fact that I have to leave it on for a minimum of 30 mins is annoying. Once I use … Continue reading Wash Day-How I pampered my strands!
At night all I did was retwist like 10-12 big twists without applying any product and went to bed. The next morning I rubbed a dab of my KBB Butter Love between my hands and unraveled the twists, fluffed and was out the door! My hair is slightly longer looking and it will be after each day of twist out maintenance. Continue reading Twist Out Maintenance & Day 2
Check my last post to see my regimen for this style. I untwisted this morning. My hair retained a lot of moisture with the KCKT and MYHC T4C combo. I’ve been tending to my twists nightly by spraying with Oyin Handmade Juices and Berries and using a dab of Qhemet Biologics Olive & Honey Balm to layer over after. I grabbed my Karen’s Body Beautiful Butter Love and grabbed a dab to rub between my hands for the twist take down. I love how my hair turned out!!!! It survived a 2 mile walk at lunch too!!! I’ll probably twist … Continue reading Twist Out with MyHoneyChild Type 4 Creme
So I took out my comb coils…after an unsuccessful coil out attempt as my hair was as dry as a bone. I used my Kinky Curly Come Clean Shampoo to rid my hair of the gel. I used Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Smoothing Conditioner as my rinse out conditioner. I grabbed my Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave in conditioner as it was dying to get used. I then began twisting medium sections of my damp hair with my MyHoneyChild Type 4 Hair Creme because it has a great hold! I used MyHoneyChild O’honey Curl Mist to dampen any sections that … Continue reading Two Strand Twists with MyHoneyChild
So I felt like doing my hair again today>;>;>;boredom took over…i also dusted my ends… I began using my Afroveda carrot shampoo bar and it was my 1st time using it. It was kind of tricky getting a lather going which is why I’m not a fan of shampoo bars. I didn’t like how my hair felt after using it>;>;>;it felt waxy or something so I reached for my Keracare Natural Textures Cleansing Creme which I was able to detangle with>;>;>;followed by Curl Junkie Repair Me and Curl Rehab. I then used my Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion as a leave … Continue reading MyHoneyChild Twist Out Creme Review
So I just tried the MYHC Honey Hair Mask (left it on for like 45 min) on freshly washed and clean hair>>>my hair was so shiny, moisturized and soft after using it. The price is very right as I got 4 ozs for $5. Hmm this may become a staple although I really love my Jessicurl Weekly Deep Treatment, MYHC Olive You DC, and my Curl Junkie Curl Rehab. It looks like I have 2 more uses out of my little jar so I’m going to give it a whirl a couple more times. See the pic below which is … Continue reading MyHoneyChild Honey Hair Mask – very effective conditioner
OMG where has Oyin been all my life (#rihanna voice)>;;>;;>;;I have the best twists that I’ve ever done ever I tell ya!!! I cowashed with the As I am Naturally Coconut Cowash conditioner and deep conditioned with my Curl Junkie Curl Rehab (idk why I really wasn’t feeling the deep condition>;;>;;maybe because I cowashed idk???) but I used my shescentit avocado conditioner right after. I used an old tshirt to soak up excess water so my hair was damp and began to use the Oyin leave in and twist big twists as I went along. The leave in which is … Continue reading Oyin Handmade Hair Dew, Whipped Pudding and Burnt Sugar Pomade – Twist Results A+++
