New Year And New Set Backs!

Hey my natural and relax sister, I've been gone for too long and I am trying bring it back! Long time no see right?!. So I'm finally one year nappy happy and my hair is going through some changes, but not in a good way. Last week I had to trim two inches off because of my lack of taking care of my hair, I've been slacking on my weekly deep conditioning and co wash days. Ugh! I'm so sad about that but at the end of the day, it's about healthy hair right?!

Right now I have my hair in a protective style, box braids. I plan on keeping them in 4 to 6 weeks the max, just to give my hair a break and also look into new products or d.i.y to try. New year, new products and different hair regiment. I tried to let my sides grow back but I decided to cut them again. My hair goal for 2014 is just to have fuller and healthy hair. The beginning of 2014 my hairstyle choice was the tuck n' roll. I'm in love with that hairstyle , it's so easy to do and different ways of doing it also. Pictures below are some hairstyles I've been doing has of late, I hope you enjoy!

But until then......... HAPPY HAIR JOURNEY!



Let's Talk Product Review { Aunt Jackie's curl la la defining curl custard}

Hey my beautiful sisters, let's get right into it. This is my first time trying any type of hair custard, I was browsing through Family Dollar and came across Aunt Jackie's curl la la defining curl custard. At first I wasn't sure if I should try this product because it looked kind of suspect, the ingredient's were a littler off to me. But after seeing some of my fellow curl sisters on Instagram and they results with this product I decided to give it a try.

The consistency feel like some type of grease form , and it smells like the conditioner packet out of a Just For Me relaxer box! So at first I'm like oh hell no (excuse my french) I hope I didn't waste $5, yes I am the cheap queen! The product suppose to define, shape and control curls, waves, coils and braid-outs while adding moisture.

I decided to use the curl custard to define my twist-outs. The first go around, I didn't approve of the result I received . My twist-outs usually be define and fluff at the same time, but it look like my hair was weight down. But the point of trying a product , you have to give it time to work. I tried it a second time the same thing happen I was really disappointed, So i decided to try it with my go to curl creme and finally I receive some amazing results. I also did an wash and go and that didn't do so great.  Overall I give this product two stars, will I purchase this product again? I don't think so!

Pros
work well with other curling cremes
easy slip
no flakes
good for moisturizing
leave hair feeling soft

Cons
unsure ingredient's
smell like a relaxer
does not define curls





First time using the product

Third time using the product with another curl creme

 

 

Disclaimers: I'm only going off on my own hair experience, this is just my opinion! Just because it didn't work for my hair, doesn't mean it won't work for your hair. Do what work's for you!!

But until then.....

HAPPY HAIR JOURNEY
