Product Review – TGIN Twist & Define Cream

  New product alert! 

I was shopping around in Target on what I was planning as a washday and stumbled upon Thank God It’s Natural’s Twist & Define Cream. Perfect… because I was planning to twist my hair!

I washed and deep conditioned my hair. I applied a small amount of extra virgin olive oil, which I usually do. I applied TGIN to each small section as I twisted it. 

It felt moisturizing and had great slip… as long as my hair was still damp. As my hair started to dry, if I applied the product, it felt a bit sticky. As soon as I dampened my hair again, it applied well. 

My hair dried faster than usual. It felt like it had some hold and would be perfect for keeping twists neat as the days go by. It didn’t feel as moisturized as I’m used to, but it didn’t feel dry either. 

I untwisted my hair the next day to have a twistout and the definition was excellent! My hair didn’t feel dry and it didn’t feel weighed down with moisture either. It felt light and bouncy. I was pleasantly surprised. 

So far, it seems like a great product. A little different that how my hair usually feels, but different in a good way. We’ll see how it holds up for day 2 and day 3 hair. 

I almost forgot to mention the best part! THE SMELL!!! It smells soooo good. I’m big on smells, so I’m usually drawn to products that smell delicious!

Definitely worth a try! I imagine it would work even better combined with TGIN’s Buttercream.

Product Review – Camille Rose Naturals Style Setter

It’s no secret that I’m in love with Camille Rose Naturals Products. When I saw their new Coconut Water Style Setter in my local beauty supply store and didn’t see my tried and true Aloe Whipped Butter Gel, I figured it was worth a try. After all, I haven’t tried a CRN product that I didn’t absolutely love… until now. 

The consistency of this product is thick, similar to the CRN Coconut Water Penetrating Hair Treatment. Although it’s thick, it’s not too heavy or greasy. It went on smooth as I twisted my wet hair. As I twisted, I noticed that it didn’t feel as moisturized as it usually does… it almost felt dry, so I added some CRN Moisture Milk when I finished twisting. 

As my hair dried, I noticed that it felt oily, but still not moisturized. Almost like my hair wasn’t absorbing the moisture. There was oil on my scarf, oil on the pillowcase and oil every time I touched my hair. *Yuck* It didn’t feel as soft as it usually does either. The definition was great though! 

  
I ended up washing my hair again a day or two later and finding CRN Aloe Whipped Butter Gel to twist it. 

I gave the product to my mom to try because I thought maybe it was just me. Her hair is a different texture than mine and she said that her hair loves it. *shrugs* 

I suppose you’ll have to see for yourself.  

XOXO,
