**Updated HAIR PRODUCTS**

I have been ONLY using these all natural "organic" products in my hair for a couple months now. Whether my hair is curly or not. These products were brought to my attention from Youtubers that I like to watch. Thanks "shortysgs03" and "bbop2282", as well as "andreas choice". :) if you have time, check out thier vids, they are all equally amaazing in thier talents!!

So for starters, I stated using "Shea Moisture" hair products. I use thier: "Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo", this product is amaazing for my hair!! I honestly don't need to use a conditioner after shampooing, which when using other shampoo products, I always need to use a conditioner! My hair soaks up all the moisture and can get dried out real fast...but this product, I swear is amaazing. I will never use another shampoo for my hair! The smell has a organic smell to it, some reviews, people didn't like the smell of it, but I love the smell, and it leaves my hair smelling great for days!! My hair becomes soooo soft after using this! It's sold at Target and Walgreens. I purchased mine at Walfreens for $10, TRUST me, it may be alot, but well worth it :)

Another product fave, that I love, is: "Cantu Shea Butter Leave in Conditioning Repair Cream"
This product is GREAT as well! It's a leave in cream, you can use while styling, and as well on wet hair. I also started using this on my almost 3 year old daugter's hair. We kind of have the same hair type! This product leaves hair feeling so fresh and clean, lol. It's not heavy either, which I love. You know sometimes when you use some hair products it makes you feel dirty? LOL, like oyu have a head full of grease on your head...I hate that!! You don't need alot on your hair, just a dime size. Depending on your hair though, if its thick and course, you might need more that I would. It smells heavenly as well. Very rich. Highly reccommend. It's sold at Walgreens for about $5. Worth the buy, and it comes with alot of product :) :) 

Annnnd FINALLY,

"Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Hair Masque"

 

I have a love for this as well. Its a deep treatment masque, which means you wash your hair, then you leave in for 25-30 minutes. I like ot put a shower cap on, and sit under my dryer for 30 minutes, to let the product build up in my hair! Leaves my hair feeling great, and after my hair has seen this product, it has become so much stronger. Again, this product is sold at Target or Walgreens. I purchased mine at Walgreens since I have one literally right donw the block form where I live! It retails for $10. The smell is the same, a bit stronger and organic, than the shampoo I mentioned above, but I like the organic smell, lol.


If any of oyu try these products out, or have any other suggestions, please let me know! Thanks, xoxo 

**Hair UPDATE**

It's been a minute, huh? Well I am back with a little update ;)

A few months ago I had a devasting adventure at the hair salon. I went in for my regular "wash, set, and blow dry". After I finished the first 2 steps (wash, and set), they blow dried my hair...the woman who was working on my hair (blow drying it) looked at my hair in disgust and was like, my hair is really damaged and I needed it to be cut. I was sooooo hesitant, because it was already kind of short (it had been breaking off). So I'm like whatever, just do it, I told her. She began to snip away, and I literally was trying to hold back my tears as I warched my hair fall to the ground, lol :( I know, such a baby! Anyways, I hated it at first, then kind of began to like it, then I started wearing extensions because I was back at hating it!!

One day I was on Youtube, and I was searching for videos on how to care for natural curly hair. I ran across "shortysgs03". And now, I have a new found love for rocking my curly hair, and having a better knowledge on how important it is to care for your hair!

So, since my hair was cut off (think   of a bob cut), I wanted it to get back to its healthy state! I started taking "hair, skin, and nail" vitamins from Walgreens, began drinking water, and went cold turkey on wearing my hair straight. Which meant my hair was FREE from heat exposure :) I did this for almost 3 months. This week, I decided to wash my hair, and roller set, and sit under the dryer (those are sold at beauty supple stores). I was amazed at how much my hair actually grew in 3 months!!

So now, I think I will start this routine, where I will wear my hair straight maybe every 2 months or so, and see how the length of my hair changes. I usually don't wear my hair straight in the summer season anyways because when I do, my hair doesn't stay. It will curl up :(

So if any of you suffer from the same thing, I suggest, a good diet, meaning multi-vitamin, lots of H2O, and letting your hair be in its natural state without putting heat to it OR coloring it as much!!

Hope this was helpful to some of you, Thanks, xoxo
