New Shampoo to Try


So, I like to try to buy items that I can use on all of my kids. Especially if it doesn't work for D's hair, at least I can use it on the other kids. So last night while surfing the internet I found this blog: http://www.tightlycurly.com/


She talked about her favorite products...so while at Costco today they had the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo (one of her recommended shampoos). She recomends the Herbal Essence for conditioners, I still love those and the Infusium Moisturologie (which still may be my all time favorite), but thinks the Herbal Essence Shampoos are too drying. So....while I will use the rest of the Herbal Essence on the other girls, I bought two huge bottles of the Sleek and Shine at Costco. I haven't tried them on D's curls yet, but they worked well on my other two girls and they let their hair soft without conditioner and tangle free, so I have hope for trying it on D.

Products I Want to Try....

These two are on my list to try, I read an article on "thirsty hair" in a magazine....so if you try them first let me know.

1. Dove Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner. I know me and I will buy the matching shampoo also, but I have a couple more washes left of the Hello Hydration...so until that it gone...I have watched a couple of You Tube videos on this and the reviews have been good leaving natural hair really soft and another video said it is amazing.

2. Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Tiem Renewal Mask. It is supposed to be used as a deep conditioner. It claims it will make amends for up to two years of damage after a month's use. There are no supporting videos that I could find, but since it retails for $5, I thought I would give it a try.


New Products


Here is what I am trying:

Aveeno Active Naturals Nourish + Condition Leave In Treatment ($6.50) This is a spray leave-in. I have been using on Darline's hair for a few days in combination with the Pantene Relaxed and Natural Daily Oil Cream Moisture. I usually spray D's hair in the morning with a leave-in, and then in the evening put a grape size amount of the Pantene in her hair. I have to say that the two combined have kept her hair super soft this week and no itching! I am always trying something...so you never know what is next!
