In Review: Thank God It's Natural Shea Butter Sampler

Author: lilisokey


A couple of weeks ago myself and a few other bloggers were invited by author, Chris-Tia, of "Thank God I'm Natural" to try her new product line which is respectfully branded "Thank God It's Natural." I jumped at the opportunity to sample the line because not only am I a fan of the book but all natural products always tickle my fancy. 





I was sent the Shea Butter sampler which contained the following products:

1/2 oz. of all natural organic shea butter
 1.5 oz. bar of luxurious olive oil Wild Lemongrass soap
 1 peppermint shea butter lip balm. 


My first impression of the products was great! The items were pacakged very nicely and the the design of the labels are sleek and eyecatching. I also like the fact the Chris-Tia kept the products simple. They are almost like every natural's staple if you decided to use the universal products for your hair.



The Shea butter is simple, 100% natural with no extraness. I like that but I wouldn't have mind if it had a little bit of scent. An essential oil fragrance, maybe? Personally the smell of raw shea butter isn't my favorite.

I was very pleased with the Wild Lemongrass soap! I loved the scent and the lather it gave in the shower. Mosty likely I will be purchasing the full sized bar, it was fantastic! My mom and CharBaby are even fans.

Lastly, the lip balm I absolutely LOVED! I am a sucker for lip balms, I have a huge collection which is kind of obesssive. TGIN's balm is made with Shea butter, coconut oil and olive oil. It's peppermint scented/flavored and I really enjoy how it feels on my lips. The fact that it's smooth and hydrating makes it even better.

Over all I would highly reccommend trying TGIN's new line of products. They are simple and good for your hair and body! Not only that, the products are affordable.

In Review: Belle Butters

Author: lilisokey
Shea and Matcha Green Tea Butter, $13.50/8oz
(All photos used are from BelleButters Online)

Recently I had the opportunity to receive some lovely products from Belle Butters to review. As you all know, I am a huge supporter of my fellow entrepreneurs and I cannot say no to YUMMY HAIR PRODUCTS that are made naturally! Yes, I know, I need self control. I was browsing Belle Butters site when I saw a few things I wanted to try. I tweeted the owner to see what she recommended, I was overwhelmed (in a good way) by all the choices I had in front of me. When I noticed she sold a face product that targeted oily skin, I knew I had to inquire about it. I ended up receiving the Shea and Matcha Green Tea Butter along with the Neutralizing Butter for Oil Skin. The quality of the butters are great and the owner was kind enough to send me full sized products, so I will have them for quite a while. Click the jump for the full review.



Shea and Match Green Tea Butter
Ingredients:  Unrefined Shea butter, Matcha Green Tea butter, Avocado oil, Rosemary oil

My experience: When I first opened the jar I was expecting something soft and fluffy, instead I was greeted with a solid and firm butter. Honestly, I preferred that better than something super soft because I like emulsifying my butters in my hands to get them the texture I like. Over the past week or so the product has softened a lot and is now the perfect texture without me having to work it in my hands. I'd describe the butter as thick, smooth and easy to apply to my strands and body.

How I used it: I have been using this butter to seal or unravel my twists. After bathing Char and I have really liked using it on our bodies. It works great for her itchy eczema prone skin but it isn't too heavy where we feel like our skin is coated with something. 

Overall: This product has been working well for me and CharBaby. I love the fact that I can use it on my hair and skin with no worries of clogged pores or heavy residue. When using this butter to take down my twists it adds shine to my strands and control frizz. 

Neutralizing Butter for Oily Skin, $12/4oz


Ingredients:  refined avocado butter, blueberry butter, activated charcoal powder, grapeseed oil, aloe vera gel, lavender oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E

My Experience: When I first saw this product online I was praying that it would work for me. Sadly it didn't and I know it's because my skin is just a pain in the hind parts. I have very oily skin and the older I get, the oilier my face gets. I have been holding off on going to the dermatologist but I think it's time for me to make a visit. This product has some amazing ingredients and comes with a step by step note on how to use it. I followed the directions and have used the product 3x. For some reason my skin just doesn't react well to it, my face became even more oily as the day went after using this butter. 

Overall: The product didn't work for me but I plan on trying it a few more times to see if I experience any change but I am pretty sure my skin is just being stubborn and won't my results will be the same. If anything should change I will come back with an update!

In Review: DAX

Author: lilisokey

Ingredients: Petrolatum, Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Lanolin, Castor (Ricinus Communis) Oil, Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Oil, Olive (Olea Europaea) Oil, Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), D&C Yellow 11 (Cl 47000), D&C Green 6 (Cl 61565)

My experience: First, let me say DO NOT JUDGE ME. Don't go judging me, I don't want nobody judging me *Kevin Hart voice.* LOL, YES y'all I tried DAX and I had a decent experience with it, for those of you who wanted to know. After reading THIS post by Curly Nikki, I had to go out and purchase myself $3 jar. Last week I started tweeting about eventually using it and people went crazy. Some went good crazy and some went "GIRL. Alex, WHAT are you doing?" crazy! I love my natural hair tweeps! Anyways, initially I was super nervous about using it. After reading and re-reading Nikki's post for tips, I decided to jump right in.

How I used it: I used my DAX to twist. I made sure to keep the product AWAY from my scalp. Clogged pores are NO BUENO so if you choose to use this product, stay clear of your scalp. Before applying DAX my hair was clean and damp. I prepped my strands for twisting with lavender water and I sealed with my Safi, Avocado Shea Butter. Be sure to seal your strands first when applying the product. Since mineral oil, petrolatum and lanolin are very heavy, sealing will keep your strands nice and hydrated underneath the DAX. I ended up twisting my hair in about 20 medium sized twists. I kept them for 2 days before unraveling. I must say, Once I took my twists down, I was more than happy with the definition and feel of my hair.  My strands don't/didn't feel oily or weighed down after taking the twists out. The best part of my DAX experience was not having frizzy hair by the end of the day. My hair STAYED defined and soft all day. 

Overall: I'll be honest, I liked the DAX and I may even use it again *gasp*. I really like how it defined my hair and kept my curls from expanding and frizzing. The DAX even fought off my terrible twist out shrinkage! I blame my this experiment on CurlyNikki, LOL! I was supposed to be an "all natural" type of girl... I guess I stepped out and liked it.

Review: JRai Tees

Author: lilisokey

I was contacted by JRai tees on YouTube a couple of weeks ago asking if I was interested in receiving a tee from her line. I checked out her items and immediately wanted the "Embrace the Kink" tee that you see above. I gave her my choice and a few days later I had my tee! How cute is it? (FYI: It didn't come with a cut collar, I did that myself.) The gold on black looks so good to me. She also mentioned that if I liked the tee, she'd be willing to sponsor a giveaway and I KNOW how much y'all love those.

Overall, the tee is decent. I am more of a tri blend, soft tee, deep v-neck, type of girl but the cotton loosened up a little after I washed it. Although I didn't buy this tee, I would purchase one from the line. JRai's prices are pretty affordable and her concept is cute! JRai tees also sent Char a little shirt which looks super cute on her. I will have to try and snap a pic soon.

What do you all think about the above tee? Would you wear it? Leave your thoughts below. If the response is positive a giveaway maybe set up in the near future.

Review: Shea Moisture Purification Masque

Author: lilisokey
Where to Buy: Target, Walgreens
Price: 12oz/$9.99

Ingredients: Deionized Water , Cocos Nucifera Oil (Coconut) , Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) , Mangfera Indica Seed Butter (Mango) , Persea Gratissima Oil (Avocado) , African Black Soap Extract , Sea Salt , Cetyl Esters , Kaolin Clay , Grapeseed Oil , Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil (Jojoba) , Behentrimonium Chloride (Conditioner) , Salicylic Acid , Salix Alba Bark Extract (Willow) , Melia Azadirachta Seed Oil (Neem) , Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil (Tea Tree) , Sorbitol Esters , Aloe Vera Leaf Juice , Tocopherol (Vitamin E) , Rosemary Extract , Salvia Officinalis Extract (Sage) , Plantain Extract , Lonicera Caprifolium Flower and Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract (Honeysuckle and Japanese Honeysuckle)




My Experience: After hearing so many great reviews about the above product I decided to go ahead and give it a go. I've walked passed Shea Moisture's Purification Masque time and time again in Target but didn't really think twice about buying it. Well, I was convinced to pick up a jar when the #NaturalHair ladies on Twitter were going crazy about it. I must say, I can see why they loved it so much. This product smells so good and I love the consistency. The slip is amazing and it really soothed my itchy scalp. I used the masque as an overnight deep conditioner. I hadn't DC'd in quite sometime and I really needed to give my hair some T.L.C. On freshly washed hair I applied the masque generously in sections, covered with a shower cap and wrapped my hair in a turban. I swear, after rinsing this product out of my hair, my strands felt like pure silk. I should have purchased 2 jars.



Overall: I will be buying this again and I love it. If you are looking for a good DC try this. Shea Moisture's products are a favorite of mine next to Oyin Handmade and this masque will be added to my staples list.

IN REVIEW: Miss. Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment

Author: lilisokey

So, I finally got my hands on Miss. Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment. I had NO CLUE that they would start selling this on the ground, at Target. I have been wanting to try it for months now but the shipping charges online have always deterred me from going through with my order. Yay, for Target! I am so glad that they are selling products geared toward us natural hair gals!

Click the jump for an in depth look on my NEW LOVE for this product.


Ingredients: water, behentrimonium methosulfate and cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, behentrimonium chloride, cyclomethicone and dimethiconol, lauryl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, cyclopentasiloxane, butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), fragrance, dimethicone, DMDM hydantoin and iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, ceteareth-20, hydroxethylcellulose, hydrolyzed soy protein, liposome (centella asiatica), aloe barbadensis leaf juice, EDTA disodium, tocopheryl acetate, mangifera indica (mango) seeed butter, D&C red #33, citric acid (Glycerin Free and Paraben Free) 


My Experience: After my less than pleasant run in with Shea Moisture's Curling Souffle, I was dying to get home and wash my hair. I actually forgot all about my MJSST until it was time to jump in the shower and wash my hair. I figured my hair needed a good deep condition so why not try it. My first impression of the product was a good one. I opened the jar and saw pink, that was a plus from the jump. Everything pink makes me happy, LOL! Also, the scent was decent. It smells a lot like cherries and bananas. Odd combination but yea, there's definitely some fruity smells going on, which I didn't mind. After checking out the smell, I put it to the side, washed my hair and then parted in 4 sections to prepare for the product application. I instantly fell in love with the thick and smooth texture of MJSST. Talk about a product with SLIP, amazing! My hair literally soaked this stuff up. I really needed a good DC treatment, my hair was feeling kind of dry. Once it was all detangled and rinsed out, my strands felt so replenished and moisturized, I started to question why I waited THIS long to add this product to my arsenal.

Hair with Miss. Jessie's Super Sweetback Treatment in.

Overall: I love this product. My hair felt amazing during and after the application. The scent is decent, the consistency is to die for and the slip provided is awesome. My thick and coily type 4 hair thanked me for the is deep treatment. I really thought people who told me such great things about this product were exaggerating but I must say, I can see what all the fuss was about. Miss. Jessie's Super Sweetback treatment is definitely a great product and once I run out, I will be sprinting back over to Target to stock up.

Have you tried MJSST? If so, how did you and your curlies like it?

IN REVIEW: Shea Moisture's Curling Souffle

Author: lilisokey

I really wanted to like this product. Despite all of the negative feedback I came across about it, I still wanted it to work for me. It didn't quite do the job. I wasn't highly disappointed in the results more so the terrible sticky coating my hair was left with. My hair felt greasy and extremely sticky. To say the least, I was not impressed with Shea Moisture's Curling Souffle; which was surprising because I love everything else in their line. 


I was told that a little goes a long way, so I was sure not to be heavy handed. I was also advised to use it alone, no extra products were needed. So on freshly clean and naked hair I started twisting. Immediately I was taken back by the texture. It felt weird and for this product to be water based, it had no slip. My twists were not bad looking after it was all said and done but my hair felt extremely oily. I had to wash my hands at least 6x while twisting. I did not like that at all.

Under the jump is the video of my true and honest opinion about the Curling Souffle. Have any of you tired it? If so, how did your strands react?

xoxo,
Alex

Mixed Chicks Leave-In Conditioner

Author: lilisokey
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Amodimethicone, Emulsifying Wax, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein/PVP Crosspolymer, Stearalkonium Chloride, Methylgluceth 20, Hydroxypropyl Trimonium Chloride, Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Jojoba Oil, Safflower (Carthamus Tinctorius) Oil, Primrose Oil, Wheat Amino Acid, Crosilk, Hydrolyzed Collagen (Marine), Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, FD&C Yellow 5 Aluminum Lake (CI 19620), FD&C Yellow 6 Aluminum Lake (CI 19630), Fragrance

I was never super excited to try Mixed Chicks Leave-In, in fact I knew I would never buy it. I convinced myself that the only way I'd try and review the product was if I got a free sample.   Many of the reviews I read on MCLI weren't great among the type 4 ladies so I did not feel like I was missing out on a magical product. Usually, if a review is great, I will do my own research before running out to buy it. Believe it or not my product junkism is getting better!  

Yesterday, I was given the opportunity to try the leave in. I used the product on dry hair to prep for a twist out. The smell was way too strong for me and usually smell good products win me over immediately; this one, not so much.  However, I didn't let that deter me. I continued to apply the product evenly to my twist sections. This product provides great slip  but I feel like it left my hands super sticky. I caught myself rinsing them at least 4x during the process.  

Once my twists were finished I couldn't see/feel that there was a dramatic difference in the amount of moisture to my hair, which was kind of disappointing. I banded the twists and set them with a satin scarf. This morning I was anxious to see my results! 



All I can say about the definition MCLI gave me is OMG! I am sold, I LOVE this leave in.  I took down the twists with a little bit of oil to avoid frizz and voila--perfection! My hair was not only defined this morning but SUPER DUPER SOFT! This just comes to show that everyone's hair is different because my type 4 hair LOVES this stuff.

Have you tried Mixed Chick's Leave In? If so, what are your feelings on it?

Great Slip with Vo5's Strawberries and Cream Conditioner

Author: lilisokey
CVS, $0.89

Ingredients: Water Aqua, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Stearalkonium Chloride, Stearyl Alcohol, Steareth-21, Glyceryl Stearate, Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Leaf Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract, Tocopherol Acetate, Biotin, Niacinamide, Polysorbate 20, Ascorbic Acid, Panthenol, Propylene Glycol, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance Parfum, Red 33 CI 17200

Ingredient Attributes: silicone free, sulfate free, paraben free, glycerin free (via Naturally Curly)

My Experience: I have heard so many good things about Vo5's conditioners from fellow naturals. The product is cheap and provides great slip while detangling. I saw that it was on sale for $0.89 at CVS and I had to get a bottle to try for myself! Y'all know I love a bargain so a 15oz conditioner for LESS than $1 was an awesome buy. I've gone into a few different CVS before looking for the strawberries and cream conditioner but it was always sold out, so I was happy to get my hands on it this time around.  I used this conditioner while taking down the cornrows under my weave install. Every cornrow I took down, I lathered with conditioner, detangled and clipped off the the side to prevent matting and tangles. I was so impressed at how well my hair responded to it. My shed hair literally slid out very easily without snagging or knotting around my hair strands. I should have bought a few bottles of this stuff because I love it.  It smells like a great, like strawberry ice cream and it gets the job done.  I have also used it to co-wash and I was also very satisfied at the results. My hair was soft, moisturized and easy to comb through once the conditioner was rinsed out. My experience with this Vo5 conditioner was good and I am glad I gave it a try to see what all the hype was about. 

Overall: I like this conditioner and I will be repurchasing when I see it on sale for just 89 cents! Such a great buy and it works very well. I would definitely recommend kinky, coily, curly haired ladies to try this out if you need a product that provided great slip at a affordable cost.

Hair Rules Kinky Curl Cream

Author: lilisokey
I stumbled across my Hair Rules Kinky Curl Cream under my sink a couple of days ago and decided to give it a try AGAIN. The first 2 times I was not a fan of the product but this time around I got great definition using the products as a styling aid for twisting in prep for a twist out versus a wash n go.

I made a YouTube video that will be posted under the jump and I wanted to get you fellow naturals opinion on something. This products description is "This amazing, ultra-moisturizing curling cream transforms spongy 'fro and kinks into bouncy, luscious spirals, simply and effortlessly. Stretches and defines tightly wound tresses without chemical or thermal manipulation." Now, the part I highlighted in red is what I disagree with, personally I do not think that tight kinky hair cannot be "transformed" into BOUNCY LUSCIOUS SPIRALS but that's just my opinion. In my mind I am picturing type 4 curls becoming type 3 curls-- maybe it's just me. HairRules YT channel left a comment on the video which you can check out for yourself. Doesn't seem like they were too keen on my opinion. 

I do think that there are products on the market, like this one, that can definitely enhance the natural curl pattern of ones hair but NO PRODUCT can give you what you don't already have. What do you ladies think about that? Please leave your comments in the box below, I think this can lead to some GREAT natural hair convo.

D.I.Y Hair Care's Neem & Green Tea Body & Hair Milk

Author: lilisokey
Hey y'all, it's been a few days since I've posted but I'm back with some exciting news! I was sent a product from  Jarmelia of D.I.Y. Hair Care and I love it. Jarmelia and I actually did a product swap, I sent her a Safi product to test out and she sent me her awesome Neem and Green Tea Body/Hair Milk to try. Good deal , right? 



Ingredients:  Aloe barbadensis (Organic Aloe) Juice, Lavendula angustifolia (Organic Lavender) Distillate, Anthemis nobilis (Organic Roman Chamomile) Distillate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ricinus communis (Castor Seed) Oil, Stearalkonium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Hydrolized Wheat, d-Calcium Pantothenate (Panthenol Vitamin B5), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Rosa mosqueta (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Salix nigra (Organic Black Willow Bark) Extract

I like this product for 3 reasons, the ingredients are awesome, the detangling properties are amazing and it's affordable; the THREE A's! I tried the hair milk on my daughter's freshly washed hair and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to detangle her curls. The slip is great and the scent was also very pleasant.  Once I run out of this sample, I will be purchasing! My daughter's hair loves this stuff and it's a new staple for us. 



Thanks Jarmelia!

Alex

Yay for Enso Naturals!!

Author: lilisokey

I had the pleasure of hosting a giveaway for Enso Naturals a couple of weeks ago, I'm sure y'all remember that. The company was nice enough to send me some products to try and OMG, I am in love. My twist out today was so bomb, soft and smelling great. I was sent the Marshmallow Root Twisting Pudding and Sweet Honey Hibiscus Leave-In; both of which I have been stalking on their site!


The pudding was like nothing I have seen before and I was pleasantly surprised at the texture. It wasn't too thick, too watery, or heavy. It reminded me a lot of a gel more than a pudding but either way I loved it. My hair also seemed to be a fan. I coated my strands with water first, then the leave in before topping it off with the pudding to twist. I like how the pudding gave me enough slip to detangle my strands too, my denman slid through my hair. 


The only complaint I have is about the leave in, it didn't give me the slip I thought it would. My hair is THICK and has the tendency to be DRY so I need my leave ins to be wet and thick at the same time. The leave in was heavy enough but I didn't feel like it soaked into my strands, it kind of sat there. The pudding definitely made up for that problem though, which is good because I know that these products work well in conjunction with each other.


Overall I loved these two products and will be a paying customer of Enso. Their products are natural, fresh and affordable which is ideal for me; exactly what I like in products. To purchase the products mentioned head over to Enso's site to lust after the great hair goodies.

Ayurvedic Hair Care: Vatika Oil

Author: lilisokey
One thing that I love to coat my strands with is coconut oil, my hair loves the light fragrant oil and my thick hair soaks it right up. It wasn't until last year that I started using Vatika oil, which is a great coconut based oil that's full of great auyervedic ingredients like alma, lemon and henna! The henna along with other herbs coats the hair protects it from oxidation maintaining its natural color. The yummy amla strengthens the roots of  hair to help maintain overall health and natural thickness. And lemon acts as a  astringent and helps control sebum flow. Doesn't that sound great?  I often mix my Vatika oil with a deep conditioner which gives me a little extra moisture when needed. It's rumored that Vatika's unique natural formulation ensures deeper oil penetration to give your hair and scalp complete nourishment for problem free, healthy hair. I am not too sure about the "problem free" part but my hair definitely thanks me once it's slathered in oil.  

I use Dabur Vatika Oil and I purchase it from here. It's a great buy and when I catch a good sale I stock up! Hairveda also sells a Vatika Frosting that is OUT OF THIS WORLD, also a great buy and the smell is to die for.

Are you a Vatika Oil user?
If so, how do you use it?

Product Review: Cantu Shea Butter Leave In

Author: lilisokey
16 oz/$5.99 

I've had this Cantu product sitting under my bathroom sink for months now. I tried it once and to be honest, I don't remember what my hair's reaction was to it so I gave it another go. According to the company who makes this product Cantu® Shea Butter Leave In helps moisturize dry brittle hair with deep penetrating oil and emollients that soften, detangle and add shine to hair. It also helps protect the hair against heat and sun styling damage and provides extra protection from split ends and breakage. See my thoughts below.

Ingredients: Water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Glycine Soja Oil (Soybean), Propylene Glycol, Polyquaternium 37, Propylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, PPG 1 Trideceth 6, Cetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Stearalkonium Chloride, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone, Panthenol, PPG 1-PPG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, Lanolin Oil, Cinnamidopropyl Trimonium Chloride, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Acrylamidopropyltrimonium Chloride/Acrylamide Copolymer, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Benzophenone 3, BHA, BHT, Zea Mays Oil (Corn), Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, DMDM Hydantoin, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance

My Experience: I used this product alone on damp hair and I was immediately impressed on the slip it provided. The thick creamy texture smoothed nicely on my hair and I didn't have to use a lot to feel like my hair was moisturized. Once my hair was dry it clumps nicely and the curls were popping all over the place. I felt like I had a soft hold, which I didn't mind. My hair was soft, defined and hydrated which was plus. 

Overall: For the price and cost of this product I will say that I am satisfied. I can also purchase it on the ground which is a good thing. My local Target always has Cantu products in stock. I probably won't use this too often because I see that some of the may cause a lot of build up, like the "cones." Overall I'd give this product a 3.5 out of 5.

Curl Junkie's Smoothing Lotion Review

Author: lilisokey


Under the jump is a video of my thoughts and experience with Curl Junkie's Smoothing Lotion. I must say that this leave in conditioner is BEYOND great and is almost tied with my love for Kinky Curly's "Knot Today" leave in. The smell is amazing, the texture is smooth and it's packed with glycerin, which my hair LOVES. I was able to pick this product up on the ground at the Hair and Body Boutique; it was $21 for 12 fl oz (pricey, worth it though) but not paying shipping was a huge plus. See the video below for my details.
