Product reviews

I recently bought two of the three new Suave Professionals conditioners. I got the Almond Shea Butter and the Rosemary Mint. Suave didn't fail me, of course. Now I haven't gotten good at choosing things aren't filled with lots of stuff that's good for my hair so I not sure if this fits that bill or not. What I can say is that just like the Sleek and Humectant these two conditioners are very good. I actually dc'd overnight with the Rosemary Mint and the next morning was lovely. There was bit of evoo in my hair because I had to take down my puffy ponytail which require a bit of detangling. So I used my spiritz that has conditioner, water and evoo in it. After
doing my co-wash and detangling in the shower, I put my hair in two stranded twist and noticed that how nice my roots looked. Two thumbs up baby!!

So anyway, what I noticed right away about these two conditioners is the texture. Unlike Sleek and Humectant, these two fellows have a kinda 'clumpy' texture. Maybe I'll add a pic for comparison. Despite this clumpy look, they work just as well and of the two I like the Rosemary Mint best. I could feel a tingle in my scalp that was really nice and because I am familiar with rosemary I could easily smell it. There is no overpowering smell just the hint of refreshing clean. The mint tingling in my scalp made my hair feel extra clean. I have to say it's a keeper, unless someone tells me that it's a lousy product for napturals!

The Almond Shea...hmm, nothing to right home about. Yes it feels great but I've come to love the light fragrances in my conditioners and this pretty much has none. There is a slight hint of something from the almond but nothing that lingers. If I had an occasion where I didn't want anything to outplay the scent of my perfume, this would be a good choice.

What else have I tried? Well because I've decided to make a conscious effort to be more natural, both inside and out, I am getting away from the shower gels and looking for more natural products. I tried a new olive oil soap and an african black soap that I bought a the natural hair expo.






























The olive oil soap, very lightly scent feels very good on my skin. I look forward to eventually make my own soap but it will do for now. This soap left my skin feeling squeaky clean. I've grown so accustomed to that slippery film on my skin from commercial soaps that it felt strange at first. Right after showering I put evoo on my face shealoe on my skin. Right now, since I'm single, this is better than sex! roflmbo.
The black soap is the bar I use when I shampoo my hair. I mostly co-wash but enjoy a good sud now and then. That clean, clean feeling that comes from this soap is amazing!

Keep it real, keep it natural YY
