This oil was given to me as a gift. Talking about excitement! I've always wanted to try a Creme of Nature product, but being the practical person that I am, I like to use up my products before investing in new ones.      I love the little bottle. I find it cute and it doesn't take much space. I also love the smell and based on its thick consistency I know I'm going to be using this oil for a while because a little goes a long way. Another reason why I love this oil is because it's the perfect combination with my leave-in conditioning cream when I moisturize and seal my hair. My leave-in conditioning cream leaves my hair shiny, sleek and moisturized, the oil leaves my hair even sleeker and my fingers just glide through my hair. No need to use heat on my hair to get a sleek look because the oil does it for me. I had seen a couple of Youtube videos of ladies saying they don't need to use heat with this oil... they were right! Another pro of this product is...

Another product that gave me an "ahhhhhhh" moment was this one: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream ! Oh... my... gosh! Aside from the ORS Olive Oil Incredibly Rich Moisturizing Hair Lotion , I've never used any other hair lotion when I'm moisturizing and sealing my hair. At some point, I wanted to get rid of it because it was already oily, then sealing my hair with oil again was like a pleonasm to my hair: oil upon oil. And the oil would sip through my scarf and unto my pillow case... not a pleasant experience. Products for ethnic hair are not as popular here as they are in the States. And if you ever find one, it's generally on the pricey side. I honestly discovered this conditioning creamy by accident. They were at the bottom shelf and there weren't a lot of them. It cost me only $2.92 at WalMart at the time of purchase. It's not oily, it's thick in consistency but a tiny bit looser than the ORS hair l...

If I said I wasn't impressed with those commercials advertising the Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser line, that would be a lie. To this day, I'm resisting the need to buy both shampoo and conditioner because I don't need them right now, meaning that I can invest in something else that I need. Thus the reason why I picked up this butter. As I was reading the instructions and ingredients' list, it sounded to me the purpose of this "butter" was to deep condition, although it says to leave it on for only 5 minutes. I went home and deep conditioned the first time with it without heat for 2 hours (I was doing chores and lost track of time) The layers (2 plastic bags and a towel) must have moved or I left the product on for too long because my hair was hard when I rinsed it out. I left it under the sink to give it another try the following month. The second time, I deep conditioned with it with my soft hooded bonnet attachment for the recommended 5 minutes... When ...

I purchased this soft bonnet attachment from a Chinese store on Amazon.ca, for less than $5.00, no tax or shipping. I wanted to know how effective a soft bonnet attachment can be comparing to a hard hooded dryer. I've had a hard hooded dryer before, but I'm not ready to invest in a new one at the moment. And I really liked the convenience of having a hooded dryer that won't take much space, something that I can take with me if I ever travel. The convenience of buying anything from the online Chinese stores is the price and the fact that the shipping is always free or very minimal. The con to that is the shipping always takes a long time. Before purchasing it, I've read mixed reviews about it and at some point was a bit hesitant. But I didn't have much to lose so I ordered it. After several weeks it finally arrived. And I've been using it ever since. I currently set my hair on rollers every wash day, and air drying my hair wasn't giving me the resul...

In my last post, I recounted my relaxer disaster. The more I think about it, little details of that day are coming up. The strength of the relaxer may not have been the problem. The processing time (around 30 minutes) may not have been the problem either. I have done both of these things when I first started to relax my own hair and I've never had any problems until last November. The problem was the water pressure in my movable shower head! It was too weak to wash the relaxer off as quickly as I would want it to. If there is no pressure to wash the relaxer out of the hair as soon as possible, of course the hair is going to be over-processed. It only occurred to me the other day... Now I have to take care of that shower head... So, with that being said, I decided to stretch my relaxer a bit longer than 12 weeks, just to avoid overlapping it. I thought I would re-visit something that I haven't done in a long time - just because I didn't like the result at the time - to h...
