New Hair Loves! Oyin Hair Dew and Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter

I finally ordered oyin hair dew!! It smells amazing! Very sweet smelling. Sort of like honey or syrupy. I love it though. Its not very thick, id say its sort of similar to giovanni direct leave in in terms of texture and thickness. Ive been using it on days 2, 3, 4, etc of wash n gos to keep them moisturized. I dont think I'd be able to use it alone on day 1. I probably wouldnt try that during these colder months, especially now with the color in my hair. I will def repurchase this product though. In fact I will probably buy the bigger size next time, that would be my on con with it is that its so small! I know it shows how big it is online but I didnt realize it would be so small! I took a few pictures to show you the size of it compared to my hand and a bottle of hand soap. you can purchase it here oyins site. I purchased the 8.4 oz size because the next size up wasnt available then. (bottom pictures are my twist out with the camille rose butter, other pictures are old wash n gos with the hair dew as my refresher.

The Next product that I bought was Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter. This product is amazing. Ive used so far for when I twist my hair ( duh hence the name :p) and to remoisturize a wash n go. Its a very creamy consistency, its thicker than the dew, a little of this would go a long way. It made my hair really soft and smelled so good. It has a cakey type of scent. I would repurchase this one as well. I purchased this at ave you. I love their site. Fast quick cheap shipping and they always have coupon codes.

Updated Pics Of My New Color (curly hair this time)

I can never last long with flat ironed hair. I was starting to feel uncomfortable with my color being so much lighter so I decided to go back to curly. First I did a pre poo with coconut oil let that sit on my hair for about 40 min, then washed it tressame naturals low sulfate shampoo, put tressame naturals moisturizing conditioner in it, left that in, added some unrefined coconut oil on top then kinky curly curling custard and my hair is SOFT! My curls are even falling so much better since she cut it! I like it SO much better curly!

Hair Updates

So since my blog is mainly about hair and beauty (it supposed to be anyways :p) I will do a hair update!

If your new to my blog, around a year and a half ago I cut off all my hair. It was about an inch long when it had been bra strap length. Ive cut it a lot since then, straight across the bottom to make it all one length eventually but Ive regretted doing that! Its growing out in a weird shape now. I dont advise doing that lol Ive cut my own ends all along the way as well. So needless to say I think its a bit uneven but I also love it some days. I am not using heat on my hair as much as I was before which was mainly about once a month. I dont have time to straighten it now. most days I just wear it in a bun or a high pony tail puff thing. These pictures are today and its a 3 day old wash n go. I used Tressame naturals moisturizing conditioner as my leave in, hairveda vatika frosting as my sealant, and I used kinky curly curling custard on top of that. That sutff usually gives me multiple day hair with a wash n go.

First thoughts on Curl Junkie Curl Rehab!

So my first thoughts are....I LOVE this stuff! I got my order today from aveyou.com I got the strawberry ice cream scent, and it reminds me of OHM sweet hair pudding from a long time ago, I havent bought that product in years so if they changed the scent sorry. I shampoo'd my hair with Giovanni Tea Tree, conditioned with Tressame Naturals only this time I rinsed it out. I normally leave in it. Once I got out I sectioned my hair into 8 sections but I ended up sectioned a couple more once I started putting in the product cause it was still too thick..

Trying out a dif technique for Wash n Go's

So wash n gos have been my staple for the past 6 or 7 years. My hair is in a wash n go more than any other style. I usually just co wash (use a conditioner like a shampoo) daily in the shower, only rinse it partially out, towel dry my hair then add Giovanni Direct Leave In and Tressame Naturals and a sealant like hairveda vatika frosting or castor oil or shea butter mixed with coconut oil. I dont have any special way of putting it in I usually just slap it on there.

The few days I've been doing it differently, instead of using a towel, I've been using a cotton tee shirt to dry my which has made less frizz, then instead of just slapping the products on, I've been sectioning my hair and applying the products section by section. Four total sections. I am loving my hair lately! This is an awesome way of doing it! I was looking for a new way because my hair was feeling really dry. This technique is making sure all of my hair is getting conditioner. So its all moisturized. My hair is uber thick so this helps a lot! My curls are way more defined this way! Here is my hair yesterday after putting my products in:

Braid N Curl!

This is my fave fave way to wear my hair lately its similar to the twist n curl only its braids which for me work better than twist
