My Review of the Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Heated Clip Hair Setter 

I recently purchased a new hot roller set, which I shared in my Mini Hair Haul -- April 2012 post. I used to use hot rollers back in the day (back in the day meaning college years ;-)), as they were a quick way to get big, bouncy curls without having to use a lot of damaging heat, such as that which stems from the use of curling irons and curling wands. For one, hot rollers generally don't get as hot as other heat styling tools, and thanks to the now prevalent use of ceramic technology, they are considered more safe than before.

John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme: A Review

A few weeks ago, I shared my purchase of John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Straight Fixation Smoothing Creme in my Mini Hair Haul -- April 2012 post. I've since had the chance to use it on my hair a few times, as well as my sister's and niece. Well, today I'd like to share my official review of the product. But first, here is some basic information about the product, as provided via John Frieda's website:

Product Review: Cantu Shea Butter 

I recently had the opportunity to sample a few products from the Cantu Shea Butter line. If you recall, I mentioned my thoughts on their moisturizing cream shampoo in my Q&A Vol 6: Sulfates, Clarifiers and My Lengthy Transition video (the mention begins around the 3:55 mark). Well, today I'll be sharing my thoughts on the Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioning Repair Cream and Flat Iron Spray.

 Shecky's Beauty at its Best Awards 2011

Two winters ago I shared my fabulous night of beauty and fashion at Shecky's Girls Night Out. Well, I've remained on their mailing list ever since and was recently sent an email announcing their favorite hair products for 2011.

Beyond the Zone Stiff Head

I've been looking for a wax stick ever since I saw YouTuber BrittneyWins use one to slick her edges back in one of her tutorials. Although the Pre-conditioning Light gel by Isoplus does a great job of slicking my edges down when my hair is curly, it causes my edges to wave up and basically revert when I apply it to flat ironed tresses. So, I figured a wax stick might be just the thing I need to keep my edges in check when I rock straight looks.

Try Hair Rules!

My sis, Girl with Curls, recently forwarded me some info on the Hair Rules line of hair care products. If you recall, I posted Eye Luv Makeup's review of some of their products last year, and since her hair texture is very similar to my sister's, it's not surprising that both of them have found success with the line. In fact, my sis likes it so much that she had her stylist, anaturalbeauty3, use one of the products from the line to style her naturally curly hair for her wedding last spring. When I last spoke with my sister, she had this to say about the product:

More Bad News for Brazilian Blowouts

The latest issue of Essence magazine features a new warning for the hair straightening system known as the Brazilian Blowout. I recounted my introduction to Brazilian Blowouts in my video, Thanks & Brazilian Blowouts, and even discussed my reservations about the process. Now thanks to new data, my reservations and skepticism about the safety of the process have been confirmed.

Mixed Silk & Bigen

Hey chickadees! I said in my Major Haulage post that I would probably dye the front of my hair before the weekend was out. Well, I did, and here's how it went...

#1. I started off with dry hair that had actually been doused with EVOO the night before (I slept with it in my hair as I'm prone to do).

#2. After shampooing with the Silk Elements ColorCare Sulfate-free shampoo featured in my Major Haulage post, I applied the Bigen hair dye in light copper brown to the front of my hair like so:

The dye up close:

#3. So after I slathered that on ever so gracefully (I actually made a complete mess and didn't use gloves. Don't try this at home folks!), I placed the colored portion of my hair in some tin foil just to get it out of the way and allow it to process a little better. I threw a processing cap on top and sat under the hooded dryer for 10 minutes as instructed:

#4. After the 10 minutes were up, I allowed the hair to cool for approx. 5 minutes before rinsing out the color. Next up was the deep conditioning treatment:

#5. I combed some of the Mixed Silk Nourishing Deep Conditioner through towel dried hair, put a plastic cap on, and sat under my hooded dryer for another 10 minutes. Afterwards, I rinsed it out in the sink with cool water and it looked like this:

My hair truly felt like silk, baby!

I believe my curls felt so quenched not only because the product is good, but also because it was the first time in forever that I switched up my moisturizing deep conditioner. I stated in my Q & A Volume 6 video that sometimes you just gotta switch up your shampoos and conditioners because you may find that your hair has gotten used to them, rendering them less effective.

#6. Anywho, after my hair was washed, dyed, and deep conditioned, I applied some of the Just So Curl Activator Gel I also shared in my Major Haulage post to damp hair, raked it through with a wide tooth comb, scrunched, then applied a small amount of the Isoplus styling gel to my edges to slick them down. Once I had finished, I looked like this:

A wet puppy, LOL!
And here's a shot of the texture up close:

#7. Of course, that wasn't the final result, because my hair had to dry. So, after allowing it to air dry for a few hours, my curls looked like this:

Although I loved how my hair looked and felt (soft and silky with a light hold thanks to the Just So Curl Activator Gel), I wasn't all that pleased with the color. I don't know why I continue to kid myself thinking that I'm going to get amazing color from anything less than a permanent formula once my color has grown out. Anyway, you can get a better view of the color here:

True, you can see the color, but it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. This looks more like Dr. Pepper burgundy to me than the light copper brown it claims to be. After all, my hair looked more coppery brown before:

Before Bigen & After

Anywho ladies and gents, that's it for my weekend hair update. For those of you who are in the market for a great moisturizing deep conditioner, I recommend you give the Mixed Silk by Silk Elements a try. It will leave your curls feeling quenched with moisture. Oh, and I'll be doing an update on the Just So Curl Activator Gel after I've had a chance to rock it for a few weeks. You know me, I can't definitively say how I feel about a product, especially not a curly styler, until I've had a chance to use it for a while, so stay tuned...

Major Haulage

I spent a pretty penny yesterday on hair care products because oddly enough, I ran out of EVERYTHING at the same time! I really didn't mean to spend as much as I did, but I really needed these items. Some are oldies but goodies, and others will be a new experience for me. Anyway, if you want to see what I got, I suggest you grab a cup of coffee and relax while I ramble a bit.

#1. Shampoo & Conditioner

I guess I'll start with the cleansers. I mentioned in my Q & A Volume 6 video that I ran out of my L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate-Free cleansers and was in the market for a different brand. Well, I decided to try this sulfate-free cleanser by Silk Elements:

(Retail value: $5.79 ea @ Sally Beauty Supply)

The Silk Elements ColorCare Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditoner are both formulated with "UV protector and silk protein to help prolong hair color vibrancy." Since I'm about to highlight my hair again, I'm definitely gonna need the moisture and protein these products provide to strengthen my hair before and after the process.

#2. Deep Conditioner

I've been using ORS' Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner for quite some time now but wanted to try a different moisturizing deep conditioning treatment. This little jar caught my eye, and the sales rep at Sally's highly recommended it:

(Retail value: $5.99 @ Sally Beauty Supply)

Mixed Silk by Silk Elements is a moisturizing deep conditioning treatment that "restores the hair while it hydrates and detangles. Natural curls are left smooth, silky and shiny." Since I've been wrestling with an incredibly dry scalp this summer, a moisture rich product like this is exactly what my hair and scalp needs (although I must say that Aphogee's 2 Min. Reconstructor treatment, which claims to treat dry scalp, and some of my pure coconut oil recently resolved that issue). Anywho, I'll let you know if this turns out to be a keeper or not, but so far I've been liking what the Silk Elements line has to offer and am looking forward to giving this a try.

#3. Moisturizers

(Retail value (left to right): $3.49 (Sally Beauty Supply) and $6.99 (Local beauty supply store))

As you can see, the item on the left ain't nothing new. If I don't do anything to my hair style wise, please believe that the one thing I do religiously is dab a bit of this product on my edges before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning to lock in moisture. It's the only thing I used to treat my bald edges after they fell out postpartum (See Thick Hair, Thin Edges for details), and I must say that it's done a fabulous job of preserving the hair as it grows in.

Now as for the Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer, I originally sampled this as a moisturizer for my braidouts but have found that it works great as a moisturizing leave-in prior to heat styling. After all, it claims to be an "intensely rich thermal protecting treatment," and I must say that a little goes a long way. I just dab a small amount of this in the palm of my hands and work it through the underside and top side of my hair, concentrating on the ends, and comb through. I don't section the hair off when applying this because if I use too much, it will weigh my hair down and make it greasy.

I've said many times before and in my From Curly to Str8: My Hot Tools vid that I truly believe the key to getting silky straight hair that doesn't frizz or revert is to infuse it with moisture prior to straightening. This is the same leave-in I use on my mother and sister's hair prior to straightening (I'll be doing an update on their hair soon, so stay tuned for that), and although their texture is different from mine, it also does a great job of sealing in moisture for a lasting press.

#4. Heat Protectants

Speaking of a lasting press, I would never flat iron my hair without using a good heat protectant, and as many of you already know, my beloved One 'N Only Ceramic Silk has been discontinued, so I've been experimenting with other heat protectants with a similar, creamy texture. The last couple of times I straightened my hair, I used this:

(Retail value (left to right): $5.00 and $5.99 @ Sally Beauty Supply)

On the left we have Beyond The Zone Straight Shot Kill the Kink, which I've found to be a great heat protectant (and a nice curly hair styler too--although it seems like most of the straight hair products double as great curly hair stylers, as strange as that may seem). Although the consistency is a little more serumy than I like, I have to say that my hair does not react to this product like it has with other serums and heat protectants. For one, it definitely doesn't dry out my hair or flake up like some of the other ones that I've tried (Joico's K-Pak Smoothing Balm comes to mind because it left horrible flakes in my sister's hair! That bad boy retails for $18.00 at Ulta, and please believe I returned it after one use.). I do however feel that I'm able to prevent a lot of the dry, frizzy mess a lot of serums cause by using it in conjunction with the Elasta QP moisturizer and the Megasilk Heat protection spray you see in the pic above on the right.

Speaking of which, I've been using the Megasilk Olive Heat Protection Spray for quite some time now and am rather pleased with it. In fact, it's the only spray that I can use on my hair without it leaving a sticky residue (Does the Chi Iron Guard or TRESemme Heat Tamer Spray ring a bell?). I spray some of this on my hair after I've allowed my hair to air dry a bit with the moisturizing leave-in and heat protection cream. I also spritz my hair with it after straightening if I'm going to use a curling iron (See the TBYHC 2011 Edition Wrap Up post for an example.). It leaves my hair soft and silky with a fabulous sheen.

#5. Styling Aids

I'll be taking a trip to North Carolina soon, and am pretty certain, based on past experiences, that my Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 Miracle Worker ain't gonna cut it in the Dirty South! All that humidity is gonna have my curls looking like a big poofy mess, so I've decided to go back to the curl activator gels, which provide a stronger hold.

(Retail value (left to right): $3.29 and $1.69 @ my local beauty supply store)

The product on the left is Just So Curl Activator Gel, which I picked up at my local beauty supply store. I was gonna get my old tried and true, Worlds of Curls curl activating gel, which I once used religiously to get my curls to "pop," but decided against it considering that I can still clearly recall the slimy buildup it would leave on my hair after a few consecutive days. I therefore decided to try this gel, which is similar in that it is a moisturizing formula (it happens to contain aloe vera, which seems to be great for the hair and skin), yet it claims to be a "greaseless," "clear and light" gel with "No stickiness, no build up, and it washes out easily." I'll be using some of this on my next wash day (which is today), and plan to take it with me to NC. I'll definitely let you know how it holds up in the hot, humid south.

The product on the right in the pic above is the Isoplus Pre-conditioning Light Styling Gel that I use to slick my edges down. Now that I have edges to slick down again, I've decided to go back to the one gel that has yet to fail me.

#6. Dye

Last on the hair product list is this lovely dye by Bigen:

(Retail value: $4.99 @ my local beauty supply store)

This is a semi-permanent formula that claims to be "Gentle" and "Oil Rich." It doesn't contain ammonia or peroxide, and is said to be gentle enough to use on relaxed hair. I've heard a lot of great things about this brand, and have been wanting to try it for quite some time now. I mentioned in my last hair update how bored I am with my hair, especially now that a lot of my Santa Fe Bronze highlights have faded. I'll be using this to dye the front of my hair because I wanted to go with something a little less harsh than permanent dye (I believe the scale of intensity goes something like this: rinse-->temporary-->semi-permanent-->permanent). I'll probably dye my hair before the weekend is out, so I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out.

#7: Lashes

Last but not least we have false lashes. I like to keep falsies on hand for when I sport dramatic eye looks. They definitely make the eyes pop, so I picked up the following pairs, which I think will add length without being too dramatic:

(Retail value: $1.99 ea @ my local beauty supply store)

I seem to prefer wispy lashes over clumpy, spider looking ones. They just seem to add a flirty touch without looking overly fake.

Well lovelies, that's it for this beauty haul. Stay tuned for updates on some of these items, as I'll be sharing my experience once I've had a chance to give them a go.

Have a great weekend!

XOXO,

Products on My Radar

Now that summer's here, my hair needs have changed a bit, and there are a few products I'd like to experiment with that I think may help keep my tresses in check. The first product is Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie.

I've heard great things about Shea Moisture products, and now that the entire line is available at Walgreens, I'm dying to check it out. If the Curl Enhancing Smoothie turns out to be as great as I hope, I may use it as an alternative to Miss Jessie's Curly Pudding, which would help me save some pennies considering that a full size jar retails for approx. $9.99. I'm also interested in checking out Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque. The summer sun can wreak havoc on parched tresses, and I could definitely use a deep conditioning treatment such as this to keep my locks well hydrated.

Another product on my radar is the Organix line of sulfate-free cleansers. I've been experimenting with sulfate-free cleansers for about a year now and must say not all are created equal. The Organix line has been recommended to me a few times by a handful of my subscribers, and I actually meant to purchase some a while back but picked up a few bottles of Renpure shampoo and conditioner by accident because the packaging is similar (probably a marketing tactic, I'm sure).

Anywho, I will definitely share with you lovelies my experience with these products once I finally get my hands on them. If any of you have tried these products and wish to share your experiences, please post a comment below. I'd also like to hear of any other products you may be using this season that you feel us curlies should be aware of.

Cold vs. Expeller Pressed

Good afternoon divas,

I wanted to take a moment to address a question that was left in the comment section of my post, $3.00 vs. $11.00 Coconut Oil. A subbie by the name of Chidalu asked:

"I have a cold pressed coconut oil jar from Nature's way and it's organic but it was only like $5.00. Is cold and expeller pressed the same thing?"

I thought everyone could benefit from the answer, so here it goes:

Yes, "cold pressed" and "expeller pressed" are the same in that they are chemical-free methods used to extract the oil from the coconuts.

Now, I must say that I don't doubt that you can find a good, quality oil for less than $11.00. When I discuss pricing, I'm simply using general terms, as everyone's shopping experience, which is largely determined by location, is different. However, I believe that one should be able to tell whether they have received a good quality oil or not based on its appearance, smell, and performance.

I hope this answered your question. Happy hair growing!

XOXO,

DPrincess28

Hair

$3.00 vs. $11.00 Coconut Oil

In my video titled, "My Favorite Products: Hair & Skin Care," I listed Organic Virgin Coconut Oil as one of my favorite hair care products. I purchased it as an alternative to EVOO since I was looking for something slightly heavier and more moisturizing to put in my son's hair. Well, I received a few comments from some of my subbies, informing me that $11.00 is a lot to spend on coconut oil, and that I should purchase the $3.00 variety from my local Indian market. Well, I did, and must say that there is a BIG difference between the $3.00 and $11.00 coconut oil!

My husband, who doesn't consider himself to be a hair aficionado by any means, knew immediately that something wasn't right about the $3.00 coconut oil I purchased after we ran out of the $11.00 variety. For one, we both noticed that the $3.00 jar of coconut oil stinks! Instead of smelling like the sweet aroma of freshly cracked coconuts, it smells like burnt, roasted peanuts! Secondly, I've found that the $3.00 variety dries out quicker, and isn't as moisturizing. With that said, I decided to do some research, just to see what the difference is:

#1. The $11.00 coconut oil is organic, meaning that the coconuts were grown without pesticides, chemicals, or fertilizers, which makes them healthier. I know some of you may think "who cares if it's healthier," considering that you're putting it in your hair, not in your body...but guess what? If it's going on your skin or scalp, then it's getting into your pores, which means that it is going into your body, so the organic, "healthier" variety is best.

#2. The $11.00 coconut oil is "expeller pressed," meaning that the oil is extracted from the coconuts by physical, or rather, mechanical means, as opposed to a chemical extraction. Using solvents and or chemicals to extract the oil is the quicker and cheaper route, but this method produces a lower quality oil. I believe this to be true, as the $3.00 coconut oil I purchased is not as moisturizing as the $11.00, expeller pressed variety.

So ladies and gents, I've said all that to say this: cheaper isn't always better. For those of you who have yet to experience what it's like to moisturize the hair with organic, expeller pressed coconut oil, you may want to consider upgrading to the $11.00 jar. A little goes a long way, so you'll still get the right bang for your buck, and a better quality oil at that!

Softsheen Carson's Mango Oil & Cupuacu Butter Whip Coil Cream vs. Elasta QP's Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer

I've been looking for a creamy moisturizer to set my braid-outs and bun-outs. Although I love the Oil Moisturizer Hair Lotion by Bronner Bros., that formula is very aqueaous, and doesn't give my hair the lasting hold and moisture it needs. It works great at keeping my straight ends moisturized because it isn't greasy and doesn't weigh the hair down, but just isn't heavy enough for my textured locks. So, as you know, I recently purchased Softsheen Carson's Mango Oil & Cupuacu Butter Whip Coil Cream. This product claims to be great for twists and braid-outs. Well, I used it to set and moisturize my braid-out, and this was the result:

As you can see, my waves are a little wild. As for moisture, the product seemed to leave my hair feeling coated, like a waxy layer was on my strands. The product isn't greasy, and the consistency is pretty creamy, which is why I was surprised by how the product performed. Needless to say, I didn't care for how my hair felt with this product. Honestly, I think it would work great for holding twists or braids, but not for moisturizing twist-outs or braid-outs.

After that little experiment, I decided to purchase a jar of Elasta QP's Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer. Now, I've been meaning to try this for quite some time now, but could never seem to find it when shopping at big name beauty supply stores. Lo and behold, I finally got my hands on a jar after visiting a mom & pop beauty shop. I've heard many great things about this product on other blogs and hair care boards, and am so glad that I've finally had the chance to give it a go. Here was the result:

As you can see, my waves are much more tame, and you can even see the nice sheen this product left on my hair. The consistency is creamy like the Butter Whip Coil Cream, but not deceptive in that the moisture seemed to actually penetrate the hair, and no waxy buildup was felt on the strands. Now, my hair did seem to dry out as the day progressed, but that's because I didn't seal in the moisture like I should have. Next time I'll try sealing with pure coconut oil, and hopefully the moisture and sheen will last longer.

By the way, in order to get elongated waves, I air dry my hair in a banded or Tomb Raider ponytail first. I've also been braiding my hair in smaller sections:

Doing so has provided me with a more controlled, and less wild and wooly look.

I plan to continue using the Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer. I want to see how my bun-outs turn out with this, and I'll be sure to use an oil to seal in the moisture.
