Natural
Hair – Product Junkie Reviews by Dayah Au Naturale
1) Giovanni
Tea Tree Triple Treat:
Love it!
Very invigorating and kind of therapeutic =). I love that its pumped out (to
control my "heavy handiness" lol) and the slippage...a little goes a
long way also. Smells great...I just sit back and relax while it in my hair and
it feels great. I like the tingly feeling too. Becoming my fav for cowashes and
conditioning
2) Eco
Styler Gels:
Ok...so
I decided to try other kinds of eco styler gels for slicking my hair back into
a ponytail.
The pink says its for curls and waves....not good for slicking back but seemed
good for defining curls.
The black (or dark brown) is hands down my fav.
All of them (the pink, green, and brown gives a firm hold)
3)Fruit
of the Earth Aloe Vera gel:
I love
this gel! My new favorite! It slicks hair back and holds it in place without
flaking, making it hard, or looking like u have gel in ur hair!
4)Dr.
Bronner’s Magic Soaps Hemp peppermint soap made with organic oils:
...some
ingredients include organic coconut oil, hemp oil, jojoba oil, peppermint oil
and glycerin. Tried it out as a shampoo.
The
smell is very therapeutic...makes u wanna leave it in ur hair for a while and
go kick back lol. I wouldn't use it all the time tho (or any shampoo) and I
would read the bottle throughly before applying. Hope this helps :)
5)Tropic
Isle Living Jamaican Blk Castor Oil:
My first
impression of this oil is that it is very thick. It greases my scalp no matter
if my hair is dry or wet. But putting it on ur hair...I prefer my hair to be
dry first. Will see how that work another day
Love
this for deep conditioning. I add some to my conditioner by mixing in a bowl
before putting it in my hair...after 30-45 minutes with a cap on....my hair
looked and felt very moisturized and healthy. I also tried putting it on my
scalp and ends with my hair dry instead of wet and I think I like it better on
my dry hair than wet :)
Doesn’t
penetrate the hair too much when dry :/ I dont really see a difference in my
hair. Much rather stick with evoo, evco, or jojoba oil
6) Shea
Moistures Curl Enhancing Smoothie:
This has
been my staple moisturizer for the past month. Definately leaves the hair
moisturized. I used it with evoo and my hair is moisturized and shiny (not
greasy) for days.
7) Curls
Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste sculpting shine pomade:
Slicks down unruly edges, tame frizzy, out of control curls. And adds amazing
shine all in one step.
No sulfates, silicones, parabens, mineral or petrolatum oils!
Love it!
Def controls and sculpts to keep hair in place without a hrd hold And it smells
good too :)
I used it
to tame edges and make my style more neat and together
Not good
for when the hair is wet or damp :/
8) Shea
Moisture Organic Line:
I love
this stuff...it makes my hair soooo soft (very soft even after just shampooing)
and easy to detangle. Hair feels and looks moisturized and smells good :)
9) The
Tangle Teezer:
...a
detangling brush ideal for all hair types....gentle effortless detangling for
both wet and dry hair...increases shine noticeably
Now
this...is a detangler!!! It detangled my hair in no time and there wasn't much
hair on the brush at all. I used it on soaking wet hair that I also applied a
water-based leave-in. I'm going to have to see if it detangles dry hair the
same way as it claims :)
10) Africa's
Best Ultimate Herbal Oil. A blend of penetrating natural oils for bath, body,
hair, and scalp:
Use for my scalp and hot oil treatments :)
Ingredients: soy bean oil, walnut seed oil, kiwiw fruit extract, olive fruit
oil, castor seed oil, sesame seed oil, jojoba seed oil, carrot seed oil, sweet
almond oil, tocopheryl acetate, safflower oil and calendula extract, yarrow
extract, cucumber extract, carrageenan extract, ginseng extract, sage extract,
confrey extract and aloe extract.
11) Apple
Cider Vinegar (acv) rinse:
I mixed
1 tbs of acv to 1 cup of water (2 tbs acv with 2 cups of water) and did a final
rinse with it after washing/conditioning my hair. I poured it over all my hair.
But for now on I'm going to use a bottle with applicator tip to pour on my
scalp. It will remove the left over residue after I finish cowashing or
conditioning my hair to make sure ever thing is out, it restores natural ph
balance, and close cuticles.
12) 1875W
Conditioning Hard Bonnet Dryer:
Ionic
conditioning makes hair healthy by smoothing the cuticle to reduce frizz...hair
cuticle is visibly smoother and conditioned resulting in softer, shiner hair.
13) Jane
Carter Solution:
LOVE
LOVE LOVE Jane Carter Solutions. All of her products. They all moisturizes my
hair well and does what it say it will do. Definately worth my money.
PASS =)
14) Denman
Brush:
...supposed
to make detangling thick, coarse hair easy and less painful
People
swear by this brand brush, but I really dont know what they rave about. It
helped clump my curls together, but tangling was not easier. It seemed like
more hair was on the brush than it is on my wide tooth comb. I prefer my wide
tooth shower comb over this any day :/
15) Shea
Moisture Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Conditioning Curl & Style Milk:
Love it
for moisturizing my hair after conditioning
Makes
hair very soft too
16) Luster
Pink Hot Oil Treatment:
I love
that this hot oil treatment is self-heating :)
Makes my
hair really shiny after I wash it out and gives it life again without adding
any products after I wash it out.
17) Carol’s
Daughter Hair Milk Line:
Shampoo
gets hair squeaky clean, not moisturizing.
Conditioner has good slip and detangles well.
Curl Definer didn't define too well and dried my hair...seemed like it sucked
all the moisture out :/
Overall...failed :(
18) My
own mixture of oils for a pre-poo :) :
Didn't
achieve the tingly feeling, but great at re-moisturizing hair before shampoo
19) ECO
Styler: Defines curls very well, but will leave hair flaky and not good for
more than one day, also good for slicking hair back into a ponytail.
20) Jane
Carter Solution- Curl Defining Cream:
PASS.
Defines curls. Only downfall is that I have to put it in with my hair soaking
wet :/
21) Mixed
Chicks Leave-in Conditioner:
moisturize,
control frizz and defines curls
ok...so
I've used this leave in for a week and now it seems like its doing nothing for
my hair :/ Has anyone else got that a product worked perfect the first few
times and then does nothing for your hair later?
Update...I
don't like this product anymore...I think it might only be good for ppl with a
twa (teeny weeny afro)
22) Twisted
Sista:
I
brought it to eliminate frizz and to try it out for a wash n go. The conditioner
made detangling easier and made my hair soft. I like that there wasn't a time
limit on how long to leave it in my hair before rinsing. The curl activator did define
some curls, but not all over my head. It says to apply generously and that's
what I did but like all wash n go products that I've tried, it left white
residue in my hair :/. Not satisfied.
It did
tame frizz tho
23) Honey
Nutt: My second favorite line :) very moisturizing! Love the shampoo,
conditioner, and twist out!! PASS =)
24) Kinky
Curly:
Shampoo
cleans hair to a squeaky clean.
Leavein/detangler good...moisturizes and helps a little with detangling. Only
bad thing is that it doesn't penetrate too well and can leave a residue when ur
heavy handed with it.
Kinky Curly Curling Custard isn't there (I gave it away). It did define curls,
but cause a lot of shrinkage. Good for wash n go and twist outs but can leave a
film in the hair. :/
25) Mixed
Chicks’ Deep Conditioner:
Thick
consistency, but didn't do enough for my kinky hair. Not enough slippage.
Not for me :/
26) 100%
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: I know it says cooking oil, but I can't wait to try
it as a deep conditioner for my hair :)
