SoftSheen Carson Hydrasteam Mask is amazing!!! 

Hey guys I wanted to review one of the products that’s included in my giveaway!

SoftSheen-Carson Hydrasteam mask

I first found out about it on Moknowshair’s YouTube channel, it’s one of her go to products for moisturization and I always wanted to try it! Unfortunately this line has been discontinued so when I saw it at Burlington Coat factory I just had to try it, and after trying it I went back out and bought a 2nd one for one of my followers to try, it’s THAT GOOD!

I wish I had a before picture but this is a picture after I’ve had the product in my hair for half an hour. This picture doesn’t do any just to how the product made my hair feel. 

This mask is supposed to be used with a steamer, which I do not own, I just used a plastic cap and let my hot head do the work for an hour lol. This mask made my hair feel so soft and silky and didn’t even need to use a comb (just finger detangled). I want to buy a steamer just to see how much better it could be! I’m going to link moknowshair video so you can see a visual of the product at work!

Is the over hyped product always the Best Buy??

I don’t religiously wear make up but I’m very big on staying moistureized (lips and skin). With that being said I always have some form of lip product on me and I’ve tried a lot! 

Sometimes you feel compelled to try the new product you’re seeing advertised everywhere, well at least I do, I know I have a problem 😩

I’ve tried soooo many lip products and I can tell you many of them are not worth the buy! I’ll review the top 3 lip products I religiously purchased.

1st we have the EOS brand lip balm. The EOS lip balm can range anywhere from $2.99 to $3.99 depending on where you go, I personally have never purchased an EOS lip balm for less than $3. The EOS brand is the product I’ve seen the most advertisements for and I would say the least effective of the 3 lip balms I have listed here, and I also noticed my lips peeled more when I used it so I switched to the next brand.

2nd we have the Burt’s Bees brand lip balm. The Burt’s Bees brand ranges from $3 to $4, pretty much priced around the same as EOS. I’ve seen quite a bit of advertising for Burt’s Bees but not as much as I’ve seen for EOS. I liked the Burt’s Bees better because it didn’t cause my lips to peel as much as the EOS brand did and I loved the scents. I still found myself applying the balm multiple times a day.

3rd we have Chapstick brand lip balm. The particular lip balm I bought from this line was a newer product and was priced at 2 for $3, making the Chapstick the most affordable product here. Chapstick is also the brand I’ve seen the least advertisements for. At most I applied the Chapstick twice a day. 

Overall I’d say the most advertised product was not the best and from now on I’ll be buying Chapstick brand until I find something better.

What are some of your experiences???



It’s all over Facebook but is it worth the buy???

Every curly haired girl loves the flexibility to change up their hairstyles with curly styles or even going straight; so when we are presented with a product that will make straightening your hair easier without damaging your curls, it just seems too good to be true.

I’ve seen so many videos about E’Tae naturals products and I wanted to know if it truly worked as well as it’s portrayed in the videos. So I took on the challenge and purchased the products and tried it for myself. The products are a a little on the pricey side so I did some research and found out which actually do the bulk of the work (and that’s all I purchased). When companies make products they formalize the line to work best together, but I’m not so worried about that because I thought the replacements I used were pretty close in ingredients, but if you don’t care about the price go ahead and buy the whole line. The two most valuable products to me are the caramelux treatment and the butter shine, the shampoo and conditioner are not as important you can substitute for treseme or something.

The overall attractions

 

• These products are some of the most natural products I’ve seen: the ingredients list is stuff you can probably find in your kitchen or easily buy at your grocery store
• The caramelux treatment is used before shampooing and softens your hair even before the wash process and makes styling easier (this in my opinion is the most important of all the products)
• The butter shine was more of a heat protectant and gives your hair a nice shine and moisturizes your hair
• Because of how natural they are, these products can be used on all hair types, curly or straight, before straightening or curly styles, and even on kids hair.

The cons
These cons might not be big cons to some, but just some things I observed.

• Because of the ingredients in the caramelux treatment (molasses,honey,caramel) this product gets a little sticky
• Because of the natural ingredients the butter shine gives off a strong smell of rosemary so if you don’t like the smell you might not like this

I tried these products so that you wouldn’t have to, but if you really want to give it a try and let me know what you think!

My hair needs HELP!!

Ughhhh I need help!!! and lot’s of it!

Since I’ve gotten engaged I vowed to grow my hair healthy and strong, and I was doing back to back braids as a protective style, until about February.

When I removed those braids, I realized my hair was falling out, and not because of the braids and I knew this because I’m a habitual braid wearer. And my hair was at the healthiest it has ever been. So in my quest to figure out what was wrong with my hair [I tried protein treatments, deep conditioners, hair masks, I stopped being vegan(granted it only lasted 1 week)] I finally decided to just cut my hair which I felt was the last possible solution, I figured my hair had to be damaged from something somehow.

It was after I cut my hair I realized it was the medication I was taking, the pharmacy switched me to generic instead of what I was usually taking and my body did not respond well to it (but that’s a story for another time).

Well now I’m trying to get back on track, my hair still doesn’t not feel back to normal, even though it has gotten a lot better, if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do, I’d appreciate it!

And 2nd I need a protective style, or some way to style my hair until my hair gets back to normal, if anyone has any suggestions for this as well… I’m a lazy girl I usually do 2 french twists and go but I can’t do that at the moment with my hair and the way I cut it. I tried a wig (I’ll do a post about it) and that didn’t last long since it was a straight wig, I’m extremely picky and it was looking crazy lol…so maybe someone can suggest a cute curly wig?? Idk!

All my curly girls please help, or curly guys, or any one for that matter lol.

Until next time….
