HAIR PRODUCT FAIL!

When buying hair products, sometimes you just have to go with what YOU KNOW. But then there are times, you become adventurous and curiosity takes over. And then...Hair Product Fail Happens.

I was using Cantu Coconut Curling Cream, which I actually liked (See my previous post on a review). I ran out of it and decided to try something  else. Big mistake. Well since I've had good experiences with  Shea Moisture's product line (The Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Organic Yucca Baobab Thickening Conditioner) I wanted to get something else from the Shea Moisture product line.

I bought this Shea Moisture Curling Souffle ($9.99), and I absolutely
H A T E D it. Why? First of all, I have never had a product make my hair sticky, tangled and dried out at the same damn time. It kind of has the consistency and feel of Kinky Curly Custard and looks very similar to it in color. I tried using the Curling Souffle twice.....no three times, to make sure it wasn't just me. I applied it like I do everything else, from root to tip, while wet. NO BUENO! On top of the mess, aka my hair, it made the back of my neck sticky!!!! WTH?? I was literally wiping the back of my neck ALL DAY with a wet napkin ugh! Irritated and pissed at Curling Souffle at this point.

THE worst natural hair product I've ever purchased, needless to say. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy (Well...maybe I would). Nevertheless, it was horrible for MY hair. I returned it Walgreen's and I exchanged it for some other items.

If you've had success with Shea Moisture Curling Souffle, that's great. Different products work with different hair types. 

For now, I'll stick with Cantu Coconut Curling Cream.

It's in love with my hair! Soft, moisturized with a light firm hold for defining the curls. I can actually get my fingers through my hair and it makes it manageable. Yeah...I'm good. :-)

Hair Update & New Product Review

I haven't done a hair update in a minute and it's growing like wildfire.

 Still don't plan on cutting it, but I would love a color. The only thing is that I'm afraid the dryness will break it again and I wouldn't want that.

My next Protective Style: Kinky Twists

I don't know when, or even where I will get it done, but it's on the to do list. Sticking to my 2012 goal of protective styling. In the meantime, I'm seeking new ways to style my hair. If you don't know by now, I get bored EASILY with my hair. I gotta switch it up...head wraps, turbans or whatever. I need options and versatility!

In the style above, I did a side part, pulled back, and clipped a large chunk of it with a flat clip. Then I flat twisted the front, going down the side, close to the hair line, starting from the part. At the end of the flat twist, I secured it with a bobby pin. And I let the rest fly!

Product I used: Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream

The Verdict: LOVE IT!

Price: $5.99 (or something like that) @ Walmart

How I Use It:

I wet my hair in the shower, blot it with a towel to get out excess water. Then I apply it throughout my hair.

The only thing is that it leaves behind a white residue, at first, eventually it disappears. But I noticed a little goes a long way. You don't have to use a lot...I'm kinda heavy handed with product though :-P

It defines my curls and I can feel the moisture in my hair at the end of the day and it's soft with a little hold. 

I like to add coconut oil for added moisture, especially if I'm going to wear a head wrap for the day.

Cantu Shea Butter Coconut Curling Cream gets my STAMP OF APPROVAL! :-)
