Using Eco Styler to make my curls "POP"

 I was watching a youtube video from the Curly Nikki blog and  saw this lady using Eco Styler to make her curls pop... So of course being the PJ,  that I am you know I had to try it.  So on Friday night I tired this product.  On the video the lady put shea butter in her head, I guess to soften it up...so I washed my hair and then put in shae butter first, and then some Eco Styler.  I had to work the styler in but in the end..yes my curls were popping... That is the upside.  The down side was that my hair was very hard after it dried.  Now the lady on the video said she could wear the style for about 3 to 4 days.  Now I know why.  I would have taken a picture, but I needed to wash this stuff out...lol  So I guess when I'm not in the mood to do my hair for that many days I will try the regimen.  Until then I will just used eco styler to slick down my edges. lol.

It takes two....an unlikely pair...

No I am not playing with you...Yes I did combine the two products and it wasn't planned.  Today when I washed my hair with Kinky Curly Shampoo (only because this was the first line I had and didnt want to buy more until I used it up), and I use the Curls Coconut Curlada Conditioner.  As I reached for my Curls Milkshake I realized the bottle was empty.  So I was in a panic mode...looking through my basket of products trying to find a styler for my hair...I saw Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding and I was like "What the Heck", I didn't have any other choice....lol.   I am loving my curls...See for yourself...

How do I feel about the products:

Curls Coconut Curlada Conditioner smells so good and make your hair feel soooo soft.  It also stretches your curls out in the shower.  Now I need to find a Curls Styling Product that really make your curls "pop" and hydrates it as well.  The cost for the Curlada was very inexpensive, only $9.99 at Target.

Miss Jessie Curly Pudding, I still don't know about this product...but today my hair looks and good. My hair doesn't feel as soft as it does with the Curls Milkshake...but I will take it.  So I guess the verdict is still out...lol.  The cost for the Curly Pudding was $7.00 but its only the two ounce container purchased from Amazon.com.

...Frustrated with my hair growth or lack of hair growth....

Uggghhh!!! Yes today is one of those days.  I am tired of the same hair style.  I knew this was coming but it doesn't mean its easy.  Everyday I walk out the door with the same hair.  I am the type of person that like to try different styles and not being able to do that has me blah today.  I can't and won't do the weave/wig thing to change my look.  I thought about getting braids but I don't like that either.  I just I will have to just continue with my TWA and pray to the hair gods that my hair grows faster...lol

..Shea Moisture....the results

I treid the Shea Moisture products about a week ago.  At first I liked it so good so far.  But what I am finding out is that it is too heavy for my head.  I have fine curls and this product is for thick hair.  I found when I shampoo, condition and style this product is perfect.  It gave me big shiny curls and this product smells awesome.  But when I went a few days of only just wet and go (styling it with Shea Moisture Curl Enhance Smoothie) it didnt work so well.  I had product build up which weighed my hair and my curls down.  I felt like I had a big blah on my head...lol   So after about a week of using this product....it will go back in the basket, maybe if my hair gets thicker as it grows out, I will revisit this product again.

Revisit with the Young Natural Diva - Reyna

So many people have asked me to do an update on the Young Natural Diva Reyna.  Reyna is still in transitioning.  We are ready to cut but she is waiting until she gets out of school for the summer.  The plan is to cut the rest of the perm off of her ends. She will wear her natural hair for a week and then get it braided for the summer. 

twist out

such a Diva!!

...Cotton Ball...day 76

Today is a very good natural hair day!! Today is day 76 and my hair feels like a cotton ball.  I am still using the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Cream....this morning I just wet my hair in the shower and then put the cream on and my hair and went to work.   I have been using Curls Champagne and Caviar Curl Elixir for the shine because that has been my problem, trying to get my hair to not look dull.   I am still auditioning headbands and things to put in my hair.  I have not been successful yet.  Don't worry I haven't given up the search yet...

I am thinking about having a natural products party since when speaking with other naturals we all have products at home that we found did not work on our hair.  In speaking with someone we found out we both love products that the other one hated...so I might try to get this started pretty soon so I can get my sink counter back...lol

Shea Moisture...

I read up on Shea Moisture and decided to try the product line.  A co-worker of mine bought this kit that they sell at Wal-greens and I compared the prices and the cost of the product for each individual bottles were $9.99 each so i decided with the kit I would save about $20.00 so I bought it. 

The first time I used the product I didn't read the instructions and I didn't realize the Curly Milk was the conditioner, so of course I put this on my hair and didn't like it...i thought it was looking crazy,  I didn't like my hair......HA!!! I needed to wash it out...so I tried it again.....and the verdict is still out....so far I like the results...im still not sure...I will have to keep trying...  I got several compliments on my hair...so I will stick with this product for 2 weeks to see if this is my final choice...a friend of mine said you need to wait a month...but you know how indecisive I am....it will be two weeks..I'm doing good to wait that long...lol
