BEST detangler EVER!!!

Okay, so I finally decided to try the Kinky-Curly brand, and although many have praised these products, I was doubtful. The price for the amount didn't seem all that great to me either. So this weekend while in the Target store with a fellow Kinky Girl, I decided to give the Knot Today detangling leave-in conditioner a try. I must say...it was love at first comb. It smells amazing and the comb (which is a shower comb from Sally's) went through my hair with ease. Now I have thick curly hair and it can be very difficult to manage at times, but with this conditioner, I don't have that to worry about. I haven't tried all of their products, but I am here to tell you that the Knot Today is highly recommended from yours truly...

...ENJOY!

Life and Times of a Product Junkie

So a fellow Kinky Girl (Ashley) texted me today and told me about all the yummy products she was picking up from Target. Being that I am a PJ (product junkie) this was difficult to hear and not participate. So...soon as break time came at work, the first place I drove to ( a very slow 53mph) was Target. Now for any of my naturals who have been in Target lately, you KNOW all the fun stuff they have for us. It is easy to go broke in this store.
Well being that I know my limits (sort of) I decided to go back to an original product that I use to love, Cantu Shea Butter Leave in Conditioner. This is about $6.00 for a 16oz container. This has great slip and is just the right consistency (not too watery and not too thick). Plus for that price, you can't beat it.
I also, decided to pick up a bottle of Herbal Essence Hydralicious; Reconditioning Conditioner. This was about $3.00 for a 10oz bottle. Although I have never tried it before, I figured it would be worth it since I have been pleased with EVERY Herbal Essence product I have purchased, plus it states it is for dry/damaged hair. Although my hair does not fall into either of these categories, with the winter weather quickly approaching, that extra moisture will help against brittle hair. FYI its the purple bottle of Hydralicious.
The final product that I decided to purchase was Curls Blissful Lengths; Kukinut Oil Elixir. This is suppose to aid with hair growth and can be used as a heat protectant. A happy healthy scalp would produce healthy hair (along with so many other factors) but I have always had a pretty dry scalp and during the winter it just gets worse. This product was about $8.00 for a 4oz bottle. I have my own oil mixture that I created at home, which consist of raw shea butter, virgin olive oil, jojoba oil, and pure coconut oil. I may add a few drops of this oil into my mixture to see if I can create the ULTIMATE CONCOCTION!!! (pinky finger to the corner of my mouth moment)
Now you may think, that's not too bad, but the fact that I have unopened bottles of product at my home now...SMH...well unless someone come out with a PJ rehab program, I got ta do what I got ta do!

Happy shopping fellow PJs

TRESemme' Naturals

So a few days ago, I attempted to dye my hair. In order to add a bit of extra moisture to my hair, I grabbed a small $.99 bottle of TRESemme' Naturals (travel size). Not really thinking too much about it, or really knowing what benefits it would have.

After my color attempt flopped (color only took to my edges, so I look like I have on a auburn headband), I added the bottle of conditioner. I was pleasantly surprised! I had never heard any reviews on this product and wasn't expecting to fall in love. I got out two days later to purchase a large bottle, which was under $6, and now I have a new product that will stay in my bathroom. It leaves my hair feeling extremely soft, adds shine, and it's friendly to my wallet. It has some weight to it, which I love, so it elongates my curls a tad bit. However, this could be because I leave about 20% of the conditioner in my hair after rinsing. I am happy with this product and suggest that you try it if you haven't already. If you have, let me know how you feel about it.
