Welcome to world of taking care of curls.. Part Deux

Hello my lovelies. As promised, I am doing my second follow up on taking care of my mane of tight curls. Today was hair washing day so I used these three products.
All from Lush Cosmetics

One size for this Moisturizer $21.95
1st - Jasmine and Henna fluff Hair Moisturizer . This contains Jojoba oil, Almond, Brazil nut and extra virgin coconut oils. This is perfect for us curl girls who are always on the prowl for moisture and great oils for our hair.  You must apply this before you actually do any washing or conditioning. Consider this almost your pre-treatment for your hair. It must stay on your hair for 20 minutes.  The amount you use depends on how long and thick your hair is. For me I used half. for my longer haired beauties, you should use the hole tub. Now before you cry bloody murder about using the whole thing at once, remember this is a treatment. The effects are very long lasting because of the oils in the moisturizer.


Yummy at $23.95


2nd - I rinsed out the Jasmine and Henna Fluff and washed my hair with Curly Wurly Shampoo.  This shampoo seems so good and it is REALLY THICK. It has coconut oil, creamed coconut,  vanilla, mashed avocado and fresh eggs. ( talk about a moisture cocktail). This product also has SLS which helps it lather. You need to make sure when rinsing that you rinse well because there may be bits of coconut around your hair. When I said thick, I meant it ;)


Feels Great $27.95


3rd - For the conditioner, I used Retread. Retread is Lush's triple strength conditioner. ( most of my curl girls know. we always need moisture) Retread has seaweed, lanolin, and soya milk. These provide much needed protein. It also has Jojoba and Avocado. (I wasn't kidding ladies about the moisture). I left this on my hair for 10 minutes, then rinsed.

Now what I will say to my loves with curls, Pat dry your hair. Do not let that towel scrub through your hair. In fact , comb and let air dry .


Here is my end result
 I am shiny , less frizz ( thank god)  curly mess.  My hair feels clean and moisturized.


Have a great day beauties

Today's POV...... Review of Curl Junkie's Smoothing Lotion Leave in Conditioner

Hey My Beauties. My apologies in posting delays.  Today's POV is about Curl Junkie's Smoothing Leave in Conditioner. Just to give a little background, my hair is like a sponge.
Here I am :D


 It soaks moisture like no one's business but once it has soaked everything, it gets extremely dry. I am talking sahara desert dry. In my quest to find moisturizers that will work all day, I came across Curl Junkie's Smoothing lotion Leave in conditioner. I found this while surfing online. I have had this for awhile but only started using it recently.

This conditioner has Jojoba, Apricot Kernel and sunflower seed oils. The slip is fab on this product. It moisturizers with out my hair feeling sticky ( huge plus) . My application of the product is literally to wet my hair and then apply. I usually apply a fair amount ( more than a quarter size big) because my hair is quite thick and dense and I want all my curls and coils to get as much moisture as possible.


Once done with application, I just fluff my hair out. My curls feel better and my scalp feels moisturized and this what I need.

I will actually being doing a blog on each item I use in my hair so for my curl girls that are looking for moisture and curl definition I hope these blogs will help.

HAVE  A GREAT DAY LOVES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be Gorgeous. Be Wonderful. Be YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
