From My Video "One Of My Favorite Hairstyles"





It was so hot today I decided to wear a chignon.  My edges were a little puffy, so to control that, I added some Chi Silk Infusion, then sprayed a little water on my edges, then proceeded to blow dry my edges and nape with the Conair Hot Air Brush.  The item I'm wearing in my hair is called a Gale Barrette. It's sold at Mehandi.com . Here is the link:  http://www.mehandi.com/shop/barrettepale/index.html

My Review Of The Kanechom Goat Milk Conditioner

The Kanechom Goat Milk Conditioner has new packaging now.  It's no longer yellow.
I got a chance to try this product with both the Silicon Mix and by it's self.  With the Silicon Mix, even though the results was nice, it wasn't as good as when I used the Kanechom alone.  I'm glad I got a chance to use this product because it's been talked about for a long time.   As always, I did my roller set to get my results which was a half up/half down hairstyle that had lot's of bounce and body.

Products Used For My Banana Clip Hairstyle Video


As promised here are the hair products I used in my Banana Clip Hairstyle Video. Yesterday I conditioned my hair with the Suave Natural Infusion with Awapuhi Ginger & Honey Suckle. It's a new product that shocked me because it works just as good as my Dominican Products I use. Then I used the Suave Natural Infusion Strengthening Light Leave In Cream. What I like about the creme is that it leaves the hair silky and soft once wet or dry.  Then today  I applied the Aunt Jackies Curl La La leave in ( I absolutely love that stuff).  It keeps my hair so moisturized all day.  Then I applied the Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil Deep Nourish 5-Action Hair Elixir to seal in the moisture.  The two work excellent together.  When I did a roller set yesterday, my choice was the purple because the purple rollers give me large bouncy curls.   The brush I used in the video was a Denman Brush.

Creme Of Nature Straight From Eden


Right now I'm doing a year long stretch (meaning I won't be relaxing my hair for a whole year). At this time I believe I'll be 9 months post relaxer in about a week.  I have this relaxer waiting for my use.  Lately I've been thinking that I may go longer than a year, I'll have to see when the time comes in September of this year.  This relaxer is suppose to be much better, more gentle than the usual relaxer on the hair.  If I should relax my hair at that time, (in September), It will be exciting to see how much my hair has grown.  Lately however, I've really been looking at my natural hair, and at the moment I'm just not sure when I'll be relaxing. If my journey does happen to get tough, I'll be relaxing my natural hair for no more than 6 or 7 minutes just to loosen the curl (if it's very tight). So far, the only area I'm seeing soft yet puffy curls is in the nape area.  The rest are wavy/S shaped curls.  What's helping me through this stretch is my attitude twards it. Last time I only lasted 9 months and 17 days.  Stay tuned to see what I do next.

My Review Of The Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum

Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine is an excellent product.  Whenever I shampoo and condition my hair, I use this product to detangle my hair on contact.  When my hair dries, it's soft, bouncy and just over all healthy looking. It's a permanent part of my hair regimen.

Beautiful Textures Naturally Straight






I got a chance to try this product.  I was surprised by how hard it was to even find it.  All  the stores were sold out, and just couldn't keep the product on their shelves. When I finally got a chance to try it, I made a Youtube video as I used the products step by step https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hq19-l7bss .   On the box it says: The New Reversible Straightening Texture Manageability System allows you to go from curly to straight styles, without permanently changing your natural hair texture.  Whatever your texture... curly kinky-coily, wavy or frizzy, experience the ultimate in easy manageability and versatility. Go back and forth between natural and straight styles with unparalleled touchable softness, movement and shine. Reversible straightening that lasts up to 4 to 6 weeks and the maintenance system defends against reversion, fighting humidity so straight styles last longer. This product is suppose to work on : Curly, kinky-coily, wavy or transitioners.  I gave it a try since I'm 7 months post relaxer and I'm doing a year/plus stretch.

I did get very straight results, but I could have done without the coating on my hair. I found my hair was at it's best after my first wash because  of the coating left on my hair.  I plan to try it again at 9 or 10 months post relaxer.

Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil For Dry Damaged Hair

I was very pleased  to receive a sample of this product  in the mail.  After trying it, I had to immediately go out and purchase the full size product.  My hair felt so silky and soft. It had lot's of body and shine.  I couldn't find a dry patch in my hair after using this product. Not even days later.  It turned out to be a true winner in my book, and is now a permanent part of my hair regimen.  It's always so exciting to find a product that actually works for your own hair type. Garnier just keeps getting better and better.
