Product Review: Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose

     When first transitioning to natural, I came across info regarding Aubrey Organics product line. I became interested in the line and emailed the company and they sent me samples packets of all their products (I know, awesome right). The line contains all-natural ingredients and can be found out your local health food store. This conditioner has a flowery scent and is very thick. I tried it as my rinse-out conditioner in co-washing my hair, but it did not give me much slip on "this" hair. However, when I tried it as a deep conditioner..... I loved the way my hair felt it was soft and well moisturized. Being pleased with the results I purchased it and will probably purchase it again. This is definitely one of my go to deep conditioners. I purchased at Vitamin Shoppe for $8.99.

Ingredients: Aqua, cetyl alcohol, alcohol denat. (38b, lavender*), butyrospermum parkii (shea butter)*, triticum vulgare (wheat) germ oil, lonicera caprifolium (honeysuckle) extract, aloe barbadensis (aloe) leaf juice*, glycerin, simmondsia chinensis (jojoba) seed oil*, rosa rubignosa (Rosa Mosqueta®) seed oil*, citrus grandis (grapefruit) extract, tocopheryl acetate, foeniculum vulgare (fennel) fruit extract, humulus lupulus (hops) extract, melissa officinalis (balm mint) leaf extract, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) extract, glycine soja (soybean) oil, daucus carota sativa (carrot) root extract, beta-carotene, hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) water, angelica archangelica extract, chrysanthemum sinense flower extract, magnolia biondii flower extract, ascorbic acid. *Organic

Product Review: Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme

 Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme "The Sweetest Baby Buttercreme Period"

     With its baby scent and creamy texture, this worked wonders for my twist-outs. I was kind of hesitant when I first seen the ingredients, because normally mineral oil just sits on my hair. However, it gave me a very defined twist-out and it was very moisturized as well. I probably wouldn't use it as a daily moisturizer, but most definitely a styling agent. I purchased it at my local Target for $32.00.

Product Review: Aunt Jackie's Curls & Coils Knot on my Watch

     I received Aunt Jackie's Knot on my Watch in my December Curl Kit.  Its label says its a instant detangling therapy that softens, helps restore moisture balance, eliminates knots and tangles.  This product has a sweet scent and I was able to smell it even the after applying other products. I normally can only detangle my hair in the shower with rinse out conditioner on it to provide slip. However, with product I was able place it on towel dried hair and it detangled like an angel. This is definitely now going to be one of my staple products and I plan on purchasing it again. I love, love, love this product.

Product Review: Nice & Curly 3-In-1 Triple Tamer

     I have to be careful of the shampoo I use due to my sulfa allergy. This shampoo is sulfate-free in every sense of the word. It claims to cleanse, condition, and detangle. It did clean my hair every well, it gave a nice lather; detangle...... it did not, my hair laughed at it. I probably will continue to use it as a shampoo until I run out, but  I probably won't purchase it again. I can't really describe the scent, but it  has a medicine like smell. I purchased this at my Local Beauty Supply Store for $4.99.

Product Review: Karen's Body Beautiful Sweet Ambrosia Leave-In Conditioner

     I ordered KBB Sweet Ambrosia Leave-In some time back when I order my favorite butter KBB Butter Love. I was looking for a Leave-In to provide moisture to my always thirsty hair. It has a very light creamy texture and of course has an excellent scent, Creamy Coco Mango. I have tried it with several products and have yet to receive fuzz balls or bad results period. I love this Leave-In, it is one of my staple products; I use it as a Leave-In as well as a moisturizer. It is available on-line at http://shop.karensbodybeautiful.com. 8 oz at  $16 or 16 oz at $24.

Ingredients: Purified Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Vegetable Wax, Olive & Jojoba Oils, Organic Aloe Vera, Echineacea, Nettle & Horsetail Extracts, Essential and/or Fragrance oils, Natural  Enzymes, Panthenol & Vitamin E.

Product Review: Naked by Essations Honey & Almond Moisture Whip Conditioner

     My cousin introduced me to this product back in September. I am a conditioner fanatic, so of course I had to try it. It has a sweet smell and very whipped, airy texture. I really enjoyed using this conditioner, it did provide moisture to my hair, while strengthening it as well. It was light weight,  so I have slept overnight with this conditioner on my hair; the directions say 3 to 5 minutes (I don't follow directions very well...wink). He gave me a big 64 oz container from his Nairobi rep that comes into the salon (I know I made out like a bandit, Thank You Cuz!); so I have tons conditioner for days. I am not sure how much he paid for the large container, but it is available on-line at http://www.essations.com for a 8 oz container is $14.00.


Ingredients: Cetearyl Alcohol & Polysorbate 60 & Peg-150 Stearate-20, Cetyl Alcohol, Hydrolyzed Protein, DM DM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Glycerine, Polyquarterium 7, Stearal Konium Chloride, Sunflower Oil, Honey, Almond Oil, Water.

 I also want to  note that it does contain protein, so it probably wouldn't be best to use this every week if protein sensitive.
