Product Review

This is my reviews on all the many products I've used over the months.

Organic Root Stimulator Lock & Twist Gel: This product applies hold to hair while adding moisture without build up. And it does just that! I was slightly skepitcal with it being a lock gel, but when I applied it for my flexi rod set my hair was soft and very manageable. I didn't have any hard or flaky feel. I will def use this again. Where can you buy it? Sallys Beauty Supply- $4

Knot Today Kinky Curly Leave-In: Used to detangle and condition curly, wavy, or kniky hair. I'm not a guru of Leave-in's and detanglers, but this product doesn't work with as much ease as the other girls say it does. I have to spray sections with water then apply and then comb. But once my hair dries it feels like build up and dried out. Where can you buy it? Target- $12

One 'n Only Argan Oil Curl Creme: Enhances and defines curly hair, Eliminates frizz humidity resistent, leaves curls bouncy. It left my hair soft and my braid out defined and smells yummy too! Where can you buy it? Sallys Beauty Supply- $10

Proclaim Argan Oil Intense Moisturizing Conditioner: Infuses moisture into hair and helps repair dry, damged hair without weighing it down. Provides brilliant shine and gently detangles. This really made my hair soft and gave me so much extra moisture. Where can you buy it? Sallys Beauty Supply- $7

Silken Child Leave-In Detangler: Smooths, eliminates frizz and adds shines and body to hair, provides nautral moisture balances and manageability. Instantly detangles. Love! Love! Love! This detangler even though it's geared for kids this really made my detangling process smooth and my hair soft. Where can you buy it? Sallys Beauty Supply- $4

Silk Elements Megasilk Leave-In Moisturizing creme: Contains olive oil and shea butter. Helps restore hair's natural moisture balance. Exceptionally rich hair moisturizer that helps transforms dry, lifeless hair into soft, shiny mangable hair. Used on my scalp and hair to maintian shine during the week on my braid and twist outs and it does the job. Where can you buy it? Sallys Beauty Supply- $6

Proclaim Intense Hydrating Hair Masque: This hair masque is made to condition and defrizz your tresses. And when I put it in for 20 mintues with a plastic cap (No Heat) OMG my curls weren't frizzy even after I roughed it up with the towel and you can see the sign and moisture also. I used it when I co-washed with the Proclaim Intense Moisturizing Conditioner, works wonders! Where can you buy it? Sallys Beauty Supply- $8

But the best part was the free samples!!! I ordered the Mixed Chicks Sulfate free shampoo, Mixed Chicks DEEP conditioner, Carols Daughter Hair Balm, and a Denman brush. But the extras are awesome!

Braid-Out & Curl

I tried a new style a few weeks ago (via Kairox146 on Youtube)... It's a Braid-Out and Curl at the end. I used the One 'n Only Argan Oil Curl Creme and my Orange Flexi Rods. Check out the results: Braid & Curl

Flexi Rod Craze!!!

While on Youtube I found a few tutorials on using Flexi Rods. And I instantly fell in love!!! So I ran to Sallys Beauty Supply store (Which I pretty much visit 2-3 times a week) and bought some. I started out with (20) Blue and (20) Orange. And I liked it,but everyone elses reaction was WAY more heightened than mine they LOVED it. Now I want to try the other sizes (Larger),but I'll pace myself. And oh yeah I've given up the flat iron until my birthday in April (I'm 3 weeks strong) to see how much more growth I'll get without it!!! Here's some photos:
