Hey curlies! I posted a new video about my hair again. I didn't make a blog post about the last video because I've been insanely busy, but no one had any questions for me, so I'll just leave it at that.
I'm on a new growth journey to figure out how long my hair can get if I DON'T trim or cut. So far, I haven't trimmed or cut since 2017 began. I've had a few major cuts and I don't want to do any more. Follow me on Instagram for daily updates... (Curls of Innocence)
Check out the video for more details on this new journey and also some mini product reviews!
Hey, curlies!This post isn't going to be long, just a quick diary entry following the last post.
Well, of course, it's been weeks since then, but oh well. I've been super busy lately, and blogging has not been on my priority list!
Anyway, I tried the Shunsleek hair care products. I got these from the World Natural Hair Show in April. I've been using them on the kids hair since then, and I finally did a full review on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SIsoViK5Sw
Yeah, they weren't all that. The spritzes barely did anything for our hair. The coconut detangler worked well, though.
I was so disappointed because this company did not do well with their presentation. Apparently, they need a graphic designer, because the way they designed the bottles, as you can see in the video, is not up to par. Also, there is NO excuse for the amount of misspellings on that one container!
Anyway, enough criticisms. There's my review on Symari's wash day, I hope you enjoy! Tell me what you think.
Hey, peeps! Check out my vlog for the World Natural Hair Show! I had a ton of fun, even though I decided to bring the kids, considering that they don't get out much. I think they had more fun than I did. More pics on my Instagram page, epic.realist! :D
I got to meet Natural Neicey there! One of my favorite natural hair vloggers! She was soooo sweet, and her big hair was gorgeous. Already looking forward to the next show in October!
Got a BUNCH pf products for 60 bucks! That's what I love about these hair shows; everything is on SALE! Mega sale! The Jane Carter stuff was only 5 bucks each! OMG! So, keep an eye out on my channel for product reviews! They'll be a lot of them coming soon.
Heya, curlies! I have had a lot of changes to my hair and my kid's hair recently, but the one thing that remains the same is the pre-pooing part. I still pre-poo our hair with coconut oil. No matter the hair type, a lot of people swear by coconut oil for pre-pooing and detangling. Ya'll know I can't leave the stuff in my hair... don't need protein overload! lol
I even use coconut oil on my 3 month old's hair after his baths! It's all he needs right now. He has a natural mohawk. O_O
Recently, I tried something new with Syriah's hair, though. I have seen other vloggers do this and I have yet to try it on mine. I used coconut oil AND conditioner to pre-poo her hair! And this time, I put a plastic bag on to really moisturize it. Felt so good and moist when I washed her hair afterwards. The detangling process wasn't hard, either because I had previously finger detangled.
As you can see in the video, I used a VO5 conditioner. I have used this in the past and it has never failed me. It's cheap and it works! Plus, it has no silicones, and although naturals SWEAR by silicone usage for slip, I don't like to use them a lot. Eventually, my hair ends up feeling horribly coated.
That's also my reason for not co-washing with conditioner that is not meant for washing lol! I do, however, LOVE the As I Am Coconut Cowash. I am still using the same one from my CurlMart haul from a few months ago, only because I have been either washing with my trusty Shea Moisture raw shea butter shampoo or my Dr. Woods liquid black soap, which is WONDERFUL as a shampoo and a conditioner combined!
We've been re-purchasing it for about 4 months now.
Other new changes that I've made, I've cut a few inches off my hair about 3 weeks ago! Watch this video to find out why.
Because of budget changes, I've had to cut back on a few things. So we are currently using the Cantu repair cream leave in. It's okay. It's cheap and it works, but I have to be careful. Overuse of that stuff will cause my hair to feel coated as it has done in the past. But for now, it works.
Even though I cut a good chunk off of my hair, it doesn't seem like I cut much off. My hair is still longer than I expected it to be after cutting. But my hair does grow really fast (without vitamins), so yay for that! Plus, my 'holy grail' oil always helps with growth and I still use that religiously.
So, that's my update for today. I will try to come back and post more often. I have been slacking on that because of me doing more YouTube videos now. Video editing is soooo fun, but it can be time consuming! I'm trying to get to where I can do three videos a week with ease... yeah. Not easy with four kids.
But I do homeschooling videos now as well, so I record that, too. Beauty & brains for the win! xD
Peace out till later, folks! Join the website so you won't miss out on updates. SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel for more vids, and thanks for reading! ;)
