Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex Hair Masque and Curl Cream Review

Posted on January 12, 2017 by admin

I purchased two products from the Shea Moisture Superfruit Complex line, 10-in-1 Renewal System Hair Masque and Multi-Vitamin Soft Curl Cream. The line is designed for wavy, curly hair.

I started off by washing my hair with Shea Moisture African Water Mint & Ginger Detox & Refresh Hair & Scalp Gentle Shampoo. I squeezed out as much water out of my hair but I don’t use a towel. I applied the 10-in-1 Renewal System Hair Masque. The masque is thick and smells great. I left the masque on for 30 minutes and used a heating cap. After rinsing out the masque, my hair felt super soft.

To style, I used the Multi-Vitamin Soft Curl Cream. I cream had a nice consistency, not too thick and not runny. The smell was great. I was able to detangle my hair with no problem. I made sure not to apply any to my roots as my hair easily gets weighed down. I scrunched the product for a while. I followed up by scrunching Curl Keeper Original to my ends. I let my hair air dry and once dry, I broke the cast.

I’m certainly impressed with these two products from the Superfruit Complex line. I loved the results. The masque was very hydrating. As for the gel-cream, I got great curl definition and hold. I certainly will be adding these two to my hair care routine.

Review: Jane Carter Solution Revive & Repair Hair Masque

Posted on October 20, 2016 by admin

My only experience with Jane Carter Solution is using their Revitalizing Leave-in Conditioner to refresh my curls. The Revitalizing Leave-in is great. I was in need of a treatment so I decided I would try their hair masque. I purchased the Jane Carter Solution Revive & Repair Hair Masque.

I started off by washing my hair with Shea Moisture African Water Mint & Ginger Detox & Refresh Hair & Scalp Gentle Shampoo. With my hair wet, I applied the masque in sections to my hair. The masque is thick and creamy with a pleasant smell. The slip is amazing. I left it on for 20 minutes and used a heating cap. My hair felt super soft when I rinsed it out. To style my hair I used the Revitalizing Leave-in. I didn’t use anything else because I wanted to see what would happen.

(Lighting is always an issue)

Really pleased with the results. The Revive & Repair Hair Masque delivered on its claims. This is definitely a holy grail product for me.

Beauty Tips for Women: Beer rinse for curly hair

Posted on June 25, 2014 by admin

Yes you read correctly, beer is good for your curly hair. The benefits of a beer rinse are softer hair, shine, volume/bounce and revitalizes curls. Buy hair volume enhancement, to get the volume you are looking for. I wondered if this would be good for my 3a/3b low porosity curly hair. I decided to give it a try.

What you need is a bottle of beer. It is recommended that the beer be non-alcoholic. Non-alcoholic beer is more acidic so you get the best results. I didn’t use non-alcoholic beer because I didn’t want to invest in a 6 pack that cost $8. I had a bottle already that I could use and it wouldn’t cost me a thing. The beer should be room temperature and flat. So just open it and leave it out overnight.

I decided to wash my hair in the sink because I wasn’t down with the idea of a whole body beer bath.

I started off by cleansing my hair with NYC Curls by Carlos Flores. I took the opportunity to detangle my hair at this point.

Next I poured out the beer into a measuring cup to make it easier to pour. I placed a large pot in the sink to catch the beer as it fell off my hair. I would pour back the beer into the cup and pour it on my hair again. I did this about 4 times making sure to really saturate my hair. I scrunched my hair several times working the beer into my hair. I would say this process might have lasted about 5 minutes. During this rinsing process my hair felt soft. I rinsed out the beer with plenty of warm water. My hair had a faint beer smell.

The last step was to condition my hair. This step is optional. Some people do it and others don’t. But it does help eliminate the beer smell if the water rinse didn’t do it. I conditioned my hair with EO Essentials lavender & aloe conditioner mixed with two spoons of honey. I saturated my hair with the mix and combed it through. I then rinsed with warm water.

I styled my hair as usual. My hair was super soft. I had a lot of volume in my curls and at the top as well. I did notice a bit of frizz at the top but it wasn’t too bad. My hair was very shinny and my curls did look more tightly coiled. I am very impressed with how this rinse worked out for me. If the results were good with regular beer I can only imagine they will be even better with the non-alcoholic beer. I will definitely be investing in getting some non-alcoholic beer to do this again on my hair.
