Sophisticated Bun Style :)

I have been really inspired lately do alot more styling. I think part of it is I am in the between stage of length for my hair. Although I do enjoy twistouts I just want something different, so this time I came up with a sophisticated bun with twist in front. This type of style can be worn to work, on interview, etc.....I hope you all like it and feel free to try it yourself. The only thing I used was Hairveda pomade, for twist in front, for back I slicked it back in ponytail with some Hicks Edges. I added some Marley Hair to make the bun. Let me know what you think??? Until next time rock your natural self :)

Bantu Knot Out

I managed to achieve my very first bantu knot out. I only used two products which were a refresher spray and HoneyChile HairLove HoneyBlossom Twist and Loc Souffle. It was done on damp hair that I allowed to completely dry before I took them out. This will definitely be my signature style in future, what has been your experience with this style????

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review


Disclaimer: Tropical Traditions provided me with a free sample of this product to review, and I was under no obligation to review it if I so chose. Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a product giveaway in return for the free product.
This will be my third product review, I was not paid for this review just to let you know. The product that I reviewed is called Tropical Traditions Gold Label Standard Virgin Coconut Oil. It is 100% organic vegan coconut oil, I used it several ways; as a prepoo, sealant, moisturizer mixed with conditioner, and finally in my homemade mixtures. My overall opinion on this oil is its excellent, its a little bit creamier than some of the other types of coconut oil I have used in the past. This also provides a little more moisture as well, would I buy this product again for my own personal use yes. I have several other coconut oils in my product stash so as soon as I use them up. I will most likely purchase this with my own money. If you wish to purchase this product I will include a link at the bottom of this review along with some pictures of the actual jar. 



If you have any additional questions feel free to add them in the comment section :)
Also they are offering to do a giveaway of this product stay tuned for that.

Glossy Locks Honey Coconut Milk Shampoo, Conditioner, & Smooth/ Moisture Hair Balm Product Review

This will be my second product review my first one was not on hair products but on organic bath soap. I was given the opportunity to do this review because I contacted the company. They were gracious enough to send me three of their products in sample sizes, and I was not paid for this review just to let you know. The three products that I was sent were Glossy Locks Honey Coconut Milk Shampoo, Conditioner, and Smooth/Moisture Hair Balm. There are only three products from this particular Glossy Locks line but I believe they are going to add more in the future. On to the review :)

Glossy Locks Honey Coconut Milk Shampoo=  Honey, Concentrates of Green Tea, Burdock, Nettle, Rosemary, Peppermint, Rose Petals, Calendula and Hibiscus, Aloe Juice, Vitamin E (a-tocopherol), Coconut Milk Powder, Saponified Coconut Oil, Rice Protein, Wheat Protein, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Colloidal Oatmeal, Neem Oil,Citric Acid, Extracts of Japanese Honeysuckle, Grapefruit Seed, Thyme, Oregano, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Lavender and Goldenseal, Coconut Flavor.

Glossy Locks Honey Coconut Milk Conditioner=  Infusion of Green Tea, Burdock, Nettle, Rosemary, Peppermint, Rose Petals, Calendula and Hibiscus, Aloe Juice, Honey, Rapeseed Oil, Vitamin E (a-tocopherol), Avocado Butter, Virgin Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Cetyl Babassuate Oil, Rice Protein, Wheat Protein, Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5), Colloidal Oatmeal, Neem Oil, Vitamin C (ascorbyl palmitate), Coconut Milk Powder, Citric Acid, Extracts of Japanese Honeysuckle, Grapefruit Seed, Oregano, Thyme, Cinnamon, Rosemary, Lavender and Goldenseal, Coconut Flavor.

Glossy Locks Smooth and Moisture Hair Balm=  Avocado Butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E (a-tocopherol), Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5), Rosehip Oil, Lavender Essential Oil.

These are the ingredients of all three products as you can see all of the ingredients are all natural. The scent of the conditioner and the shampoo are the same they smell like honey and the balm has a different scent it smells like lavender. My opinion of these products first the shampoo is very thin, however a little goes a long way so you should not have an issue getting it to lather. The shampoo to me is a little drying if I were to use this on regular basis I would do a prepoo before hand. The conditioner however is quite thick and the slippage on it is awesome I have super thick hair. As far as the moisture for it I give it a 5 out 5 it provides great moisture I did not have to do a deep conditioner to give my hair some extra moisture. Finally the balm I give it a 4 out 5 only because I felt like it smoothed on better on my daughter's hair who is 3c/4a her hair is kind of fine. My hair is thicker it smoothed but I need something heavier its just too light. Does this product live up to the name Glossy Locks? After using this twice and the only reason I could not get more use out of it is the sample is 3.5ozs. So between my hair and my daughter's it went quick, for both of us I think it did give some shine. 

Overall these products were better than I thought I was kind apprehensive because I did not see any reviews on these products, online for individuals with kinky hair. Now just to let you know the price is kind of high the full size of these products comes in 8oz. which will cost you $16 each. The balm the biggest size for it is 2oz. the cost for this is $15. If you want to get samples of these they will run you about $8 for each one. The balm sample size is 0.5oz will be $6. If you have any additional question feel free to leave comment or send me an email :).
