I feel like I only have two style options… a twistout or a ponytail. I’ve had a ponytail all week. Any other style suggestions? Bantu Knots are on my list of things to try, but that’ll have to wait until I’m on vacation from work or something because I already know my hair will take an eternity to dry.

Today I washed my hair and decided to do a two strand twist. I’ve been meaning to try my two strand flattwist ever since I cut my hair, but I’ll have to save that for a weekend experiment. I’ve stopped trying new styled during the week. I just don’t have time in the morning to come up with a plan B after plan A didn’t work.

I love twisting my hair because I can feel each section of my hair and know whether it needs to be moisturized or not. When I wear a ponytail, I do moisturize it, but I can’t get into and assess the middle sections the way I do when I twist it. I’ve noticed that the back of my hair is the most moisturized. It also seems to be the section that grows the fastest and is the healthiest.

So since my bottle of Castor Oil dropped, broke (glass and everything) and spilled all over the bathroom floor (and rug), I’ve been using Jojoba Oil. It’s much lighter. I’ve had it for a while, but I never really gave it a chance, so now it’s time for it to shine. So far, so good. My hair felt really soft after I put it in and it’s much lighter than Castor oil. It’s probably the lightest oil I’ve used.

I think I’ll be ordering more styling products from NaturallyCurly.com really soon. Once a product junkie, always a product junkie. LOL.

XOXO,

I finally tried the My Honey Child – Olive You Deep Conditioner. It felt so creamy and moisturizing when I first put it in my hair. I just knew my hair would love it. When I went to rinse it out though, I feel like the whole thing rinsed out. I expected there to be a slight creamy/oily residue, but there was none. That’s not to say that the product isn’t good, just not what I expected. I love love love the smell. It smells like it has some kind of rose product in it.

When my hair dries, I’ll see just how moisturized or shiny it really is. I think the next time I use it, I’ll mix some additional oils in it. I almost mixed some oils in it today, but I wanted to give the product a fair shot without any additions.

I also applied some of the Blended Beauty – Curly Frizz Pudding to my damp hair after I washed and conditioned it. Again, it’s not as moisturizing as I expected. I don’t think I really have a use for this product now, but I’m almost positive that it’ll come in handy for styling in the near future. The smell is delicious as well.

What I really need is a good moisturizer. I’m thinking something water based or aloe based would be good. Any suggestions?
