HAIR ONE cleanser conditioner

nunaavane — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:42:02 +0000

I bought this cleansing conditioner at Sally’s beauty (when i was in New York) and so far i used it twice.

I am so happy i got it, i just love how it cleanses without stripping the hair out of its moisture, it leaves my hair soft, manageable

The caramel treatment

nunaavane — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:44:00 +0000

Things i used :
- 3 tbs of molasses
- 2 tbs Lustrasil shea butter & mango cholest.
- 3 tbs EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
- 2 tbs honey
- 5 drops of glycerin
- 1 tbs castor oil
- 1 tbs water

I mixed it all in this order, then applied it on my roots with a relaxer brush. Covered with a plastic cap & left sit for at least 1h. Then shampooed it out, deep conditioned with a moisturizing condish (under the heat for 30mns) and rinsed that out.

The results :

Amazing ! ! ! My curls are no longer kinky, i started to flat iron (& my iron broke !) but oh my ! This is better than the coconut & lime treatment i used to do, i will now use this to stretch till 14 weeks post (maybe 16 now)

My hair was soooo soft, specially the ng !

Tonight i went through my regular moisturizing/ sealing in sections, then oiling scalp session with the JBCO (Jamaican black Castor oil)

I am so impressed with this treatment.

Next time : will maybe put less molasses, not sure…
