Shea Moisture Product Review

-

For the past month and a half I have been using some Shea Moisture products that I have been wanting to share with you guys, but it's been hard to figure out where I stand with them. I feel that I am never 100% happy with products that I am using and sometimes I think it could just be because I have curly hair. I always feel that there is something that could be improved to make my hair the way I want it to be. All I am asking for is my hair to be hydrated, voluminous, bouncy, soft, and frizz-free with some control/manageability. Does that seem to be a lot? I don't feel that it should be considered a lot when typically the things I'm describing are related to each other. Yet I can't find really anything to that satisfies me 100%. *sad face*
Anyway, leading up to my product review...
I used three Shea Moisture products: Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner, Curl Enhancing Smoothie, & Curling Gel Soufflé.




    1. Curl & Shine Conditioner      $9.99
      I liked this conditioner a lot. It smelled nice (like coconut) and it was hydrating. The only thing that I want to say is that this is a conditioner that is used daily so it does not penetrate deep into the hair cuticle, meaning it doesn't keep my hair hydrated for more than one day.



    2. Curl Enhancing Smoothie           $11.99
      I LOVE this stuff! I still have a lot because I don't like to use too much (I use about a nickel to quarter size amount). It is hydrating and smooths the hair shaft making my hair soft. This product also smells really good and a little goes a long way. I would buy this product again.



    3. Curling Gel Soufflé       $11.99
      This product is used to hold the curls shape and it is nice, but it's not a strong hold. I felt that my curls shape wouldn't last all day and or it'd start to get frizzy. This is made with agave nectar so the product feels grainy and sticky in the tub, but once applied (if it's distributed correctly) you don't feel it when it's in your hair. It is also very liquidity and for it to be in a tub like this makes you have to be super careful because clumsy me spilled part of the container all over when I was trying to use it. You cannot put this stuff close to your root, I can't really explain it, but I did it and it bothered me all day because it felt gross. Although there were some negatives to this product, I do have to say that for this product being all natural that it was a good product! I have tried other products that were "all natural" and "organic" and I felt the products did absolutely nothing, this product on the other hand did partially of what it said it'd do. It could also just be the thickness and texture of my hair that it didn't work to its full potential.


      I realized that at the end of this post I forgot to include a very important factor on these products!
      There are no parabens, no phthalates, no paraffin, no formaldehyde, no propylene glycol, no mineral oil, no synthetic fragrance, no petrolatum, no synthetic color, no DEA and no animal testing.

      Let me know if this review helped you in anyway because I'd love to know! Let me know what YOU thought about these products or a different Shea Moisture product. & Finally, recommend me some curly hair products that you enjoy. xx

    Flamboyage

    Image
    I had a girl come into my school who had a 2 inch regrowth of level 3 and then the hair shaft was what you see on the left, which since I use Goldwell in my school I matched it to 5NBP (5 Neutral Beige Pearl) or light brown reflecting opal. She wanted a flamboyage which is an ombré with a balayage. So the first step I did was for the regrowth I mixed 60mls of 20 volume and 60 mls of 5NBP (Goldwell uses a 1:1 ratio). I applied it to the regrowth area and let it process for 20 minutes. I then brought the color halfway down the shaft to refresh the color and let that process for about 10 minutes. After rinsing and washing the color away, I had to roughly dry the hair 80-90%. I took horizontal partings in the back and did subsections vertically where I lightly teased and applied BW2 lightener. Slowly as I got to the top most horizontal sections and I started to balayage higher and higher. I did the same thing as I got to the front, but I did diagonal partings toward the face since she wan

    Pureology Curl Complete | Product Review

    Good Morning! So I just finished my first bottles of Pureology Curl Complete Shampoo and Conditioner. I MUST say that I doubted these products in the beginning. I just didn't think that they'd be comparable or... better than curlyhair specific product lines. Clearly you can't judge a book on it's cover and I was proved wrong immediately. I loved this set! First, I just want to say that this duo lasted me a good two+ months. The price point is higher than average, but it is totally worth it. For a curly girl like me I usually HATE shampoo, but I really liked this one. It didn't make my hair feel dry/brittle after using it and it helped remove product buildup and oils off my scalp. I still have a good amount of shampoo left since I barely need any and it's concentrated so a little goes a long way.  I also loved the conditioner! It hydrates really well and again a little goes a long way. It provides great slip to be able to detangle and makes my hair really so

    A Guide for Tinder

    Good Morning,  My boyfriend and I were hanging out with our friends a few nights ago and they were all discussing their new Tinder accounts that they recently set up. They were saying how it's a different way of meeting people because you set it up based on age and radius. It's like speed dating, but you don't really get to speak to them. As I was going through their Tinder with them and hitting "like" and "dislike" and the rare "super like" which you only get once a day if you don't pay for it, it felt like a game. As a girl who doesn't have a Tinder who is looking at other girl's Tinder with my guy friends and knowing what they are looking for I felt there was a need for a general guide, especially since there are fake accounts on there! Picture Guidelines : 1. A good selfie. 2. An entire picture of you dressed well. (casual or formal, it doesn't matter) 3. You with your friends or family. 4. You being active o
