SheaMoisture Curl Memory Cream Custard I used the SheaMoisture Curl Memory Cream Custard to twist my hair all this week. The SheaMoisture Curl Memory Cream Custard uses sea kelp and argon oil as its featured ingredients. The cream is very firm. But it has a great vanilla scent. I used it in my LOC Method. It kept the moisture in my hair and it held my twists together. I liked it. It also helped keep the curls all week without having to retwist my hair. The 12 ounce bottle can be found for $7.99 at TJ Maxx and Ross. I love how it is color safe and sulfate free. It's a very nice holding butter for twists. I recommend to naturalistas in need of a good quality twisting butter.

The Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian Anti-Breakage & Repair Antidote 24 Karat Glistening Gold Twisting Gel

I was able to use The Mane Choice Ancient Egyptian Anti-Breakage & Repair Antidote 24 Karat Glistening Gold Twisting Gel for a couple of weeks. I can gladly say that this is one of my new favorite gels!

First of all, the gel defiantly earned the name of 24 karat. It literally looks like gold glittery glue which makes me happy. Yet, it doesn't exactly shimmer once you put it in your hair. But that is okay.

The 24 Karat Twisting Gel is good for twist outs, braid outs and wash n’ go’s. It gives amazing definition, moisturizes hair, and tames frizz. It also stimulates growth and fights split ends.

The gel incorporates the fatty acids omega 3, 6, and 9. The ingredients include sweet almond oil, castor oil, soybean oil, jojoba oil and more.

The gel can be applied sparingly to wet or damp hair and can be dried by air drying or a blow dryer. It is gentle enough to use daily.

Everytime I used it, my hair did not have a crunch like other gels. There wasn’t any flaking either. No drying gel after effects. Just hydrated and defined curls each time. I enjoyed this gel and I will defiantly be purchasing more.

The 24 Karat Gel can be purchase in a 12 ounce bottle for $15.99 at Sally’s Beauty Store, the Sally’s Beauty Supply Store website and The Mane Choice website.

I recommend this product to any naturalista who is always looking to improve their braid out, twist out, or wash n’ go.

Curls Blueberry Bliss Hair Growth Oil

I tried the new Curls Blueberry Bliss Hair Growth Oil. This oil is one of the many products included in the new Curls Blueberry Bliss line.

I used this oil in my LCO Method routine. It had a great and repetitive Blueberry/ blue raspberry scent as noted through the whole line.

This oil uses Blueberry extract, pomegranate seed oil, Argan oil, and gardenia flower oil to repair and rejuvenate your hair strands.

I did not notice any significant growth with this oils but it did do a great job of keeping in moisture.

I would recommend this oil as a sealant.

Curls Blueberry Bliss Control Paste I was able to try the Curls Blueberry Bliss Control Paste. I used it to control my baby hairs and slick my afros into puffs. This sweet smelling Paste used Argan oil and Blueberry extract as the featured ingredients. When I tried to use the Control Paste for my baby hairs, it worked very well. The baby hairs did sweat back some days. The Control Paste worked wonders with slicking back my edges. But I had to be applied generously for that. I didn't notice any flakes. The Curls Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Paste can be bought on the Curls website and the Target website. It can also be found in select Target locations. It can also be found in some Sally's Beauty Supply locations. The 4 ounce jar is sold for $8.99. But I would say that overall I had a decent experience with this Control Paste.

Curls Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Jelly

I used the Curls Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Jelly for the first time last week. I used it on both freshly washed wet hair and damp hair. But I like it more when I use it on wet hair.

The Control Jelly uses Blueberry extract and castor oil. It also has a sweet scent.

This jelly really gave my curls so much definition but when I paired it with certain different leave in conditioners other than the Blueberry Bliss Leave In Conditioner, I noticed lots of flakes. But the product by itself did not flake. It only gave very defined sweet smelling curls.

The Curls Blueberry Bliss Curl Control Jelly can be bought on the Curls website and the Target website. It can also be found in select Target locations. It can also be found in some Sally’s Beauty Supply locations. This 8 ounce bottle is sold for $17.99.

Curls Blueberry Bliss Reparative Leave In Conditioner I finally tried my first product from the Curls line! I tried the Blueberry Bliss Reparative Leave In Conditioner. This product has a nice creamy consistency and it smells amazing. I honestly think it smells more like blue raspberry than Blueberry but I love it just the same. The Leave in conditioner uses a wide range of organic ingredients including mango butter, coconut oil, grape seed oil and blueberry extract to leave even the driest curls moist. I generously applied the leave in and was thoroughly pleased. My hair was hydrated and soft. They even held the hydration into the next day. This leave would have to be one of my new favorites. It comes in an 8 ounce bottle for $11.99 and a 2 ounce bottle for $2.99 at Target. This product is also sold on the Frizz Free Curls website as well as on Target's website. I defiantly loved this leave-in and can't wait to stock up at the next sale!
