Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream

Good Afternoon my lovely readers!

Last week in Atlanta, I went to the Natural Hair Show at the Georgia International Convention Center. Such great deals were going on, EDEN BodyWorks had a special 4 products for $30, Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream $20, Shea Moisture had 3 for $20 and thats just a few of them. So of course I took advantage and bought a couple things I thought I would like to try. I bought the Jane Carter Curl Defining Cream, Shea Moisture Raw Shea Lotion, Jane Carter Nourishing Cream, and the Shea Moisture moisturizing line I received at their meet up as a gift. So excited to try them all!!!

So this morning I decided to try the Curl Defining Cream. So I washed my hair with the Shea Moisture Curly Shampoo, Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave in and then I towel dried my hair with the deva curl microfiber towel. Then I took the curling cream and applied it as if I was using the KCCC. My hair is super soft but my curls/coils are not defined at all! I might have used it wrong and I will try it again with my hair soaking wet like with the KCCC and see if it does a better job but right now its highly overpriced as a moisturizer which is all it did for me. I will try it again later and let you know how it works!

The Shea Moisture Raw Shea Lotion is super thick and I will use it this winter so I dont have dry skin, in the summer not so much since its humid in Memphis and it will probably just melt off!

Peace Love and Hair

For all you ladies out there who need to detangle their hair in the morning Jane Carter Revitalizing Leave in Conditioner is where it is. I was washing my hair every day or other day and my hairstylist told me that I shouldnt wash it everyday. However I read that women with Type 4 curls should never comb your hair dry so I needed something to detangle and moisturize so I could get through these curls/kinks. I happened to be in target and saw it was a revitalizing leave in coniditoner that was a spray and it was misty (kinda like a combination of water and your favorite conditioner in a spray bottle to detangle your weave). It was $7.99 and three of the first five ingredients (said to be the most important) I liked....Water, Aloe Vera, and Essential Oils. Gave a shot and I love it. I have been using it everyday to detangle my hair and then adding some of the Miss Jessie's Baby Buttercreme to lock in the moisture and keep it feeling soft all day. Jane Carter has some other items I might try out like the Curl Defining Creme that just came out in a 16oz jar. Soon as I get it I will let you know what I think

Daily Regimine? Deep Conditioner?! Still Trying to Figure it Out!

I am finally back from China and my bachelorette festivities in Miami with the girls. Right before I went to China I decided that I would wash my hair on a daily basis for the next couple of weeks to see how my hair responded to that treatment. It has def grown and I like this routine. So here has been my daily regimine for the past 3 weeks.

1. Shampoo with Kinky Curly Shampoo

2. Condition with Curls professional line conditioner (rinse out)

3. Add the Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in conditioner

4. Curls gel'se lec to hold my curls

5. Curly Q's Red Velvet Cupcake Cream Moisturizer

Well when I got to Miami, the weather was drastically different and my hair felt like an oriental rug and I decided to experiment with some different products because as you all know Memphis weather is drastically different in April than it is from June- Early September. It is humid and extremely hot and I will probably need a new regimine for the summer. So yesterday I decided when I got back from Miami that I really needed to do a deep conditioning treatment. So I went swimming and decided to try Carol's Daughter Tui Shampoo and Smoothie and leave the smoothie on for 20-25 minutes and then add some black vanilla leave in conditioner. I woke up this morning and my hair felt like an oriental rug......can I say ROUGH! I needed to wash my hair again (which is not so bad since I have short hair)!!! However my sister said my cute little niece has the same issue of dryness that i have and she told me to try Silken Child Moisturizing creme. I tried it and I will let you know by the end of the day what my hair feels like. Right now my edges feel a little rough :(......Help!! I need moisture so bad!!!! I have posted a picture of the new items I tried and you can see the other items in an earlier post
