" It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without a dope blog to read through.
Think of how many weak products you been through, times up sorry I kept you"
Yes I like to open up my blogs with my own verse of a song.
It has been a while since I have posted a blog, and I have a lot to discuss. I have been trying different products and different styles. All of which I have not taken photos, but I won't leave you completely unfulfilled.
So for the past month I have only used shampoo once, and that was because I was a bit concerned that my hair was not being cleansed properly. However, I have now overcome the mindset that you have to use shampoo to properly cleanse. Shampoo does contain harmful detergents that strip the natural oils from your hair. So I have only been using cleansing conditioners. I have tried the following products:
1. Loreal Evercreme Sulfate Free Cleansing Conditioner
2. Wen By Chaz Dean- Sweet Almond Mint
3. KeraCare Cleansing Creme-Sulfate Free Curl Cleanser
Each of the products have given me very positive results. My hair feels clean and I do not feel any product build up. I refresh my curls every day with water and Curls Unleashed Second Day (no Pic available at this time). The cleansing conditioners can also be used as a leave in. I only use leave in conditioners depending on what styling product I am using after. Certain products don't blend well and you have white balls left in your hair. (not attractive at all)!!! I recommend each of these to cleanse your hair without the sulfates.
Last night I washed with 1 1/4 tablespoons of baking soda with a cup of water and followed with KeraCare cleansing cream and conditioner. My hair was detangled with the conditioner and remained that way during the drying process.
I am still in search of the product that will elongate my curls since I do have a lot of shrinkage. The natural journey continues. I have a few styling products to post about and that will come shortly.
