Product Review – Mielle Organics

Posted in Hairstyles, Product Review by

  I’ve had my eye on Mielle Organics products for some time and kept seeing wonderful reviews for the products on Instagram. I had the pleasure of trying a few of the products and was very impressed.

To start, each product came with a safety seal. It’s not something I generally look for, but it was nice to see it, so I know it wasn’t used before I received it.

I began with the Babassu Conditioning Shampoo. A plus is that it’s sulfate free. I am usually a fan of sweet smelling products (Maybe it’s the foodie in me) and this was not sweet smelling at all. It has a very light and refreshing smell. It smells like Lemongrass and mint. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I love the smell, despite the fact that it’s not sweet. A little shampoo goes a long way! It has a good consistency and lather. I generally lather twice with shampoo.

I used the Babassu Oil Mint Deep Conditioner. With this conditioner, a little goes a long way as well. I didn’t have to use half of the jar just to coat all of my hair, which is great because I know it will last longer. The smell was very similar to the shampoo and both products give your scalp a nice minty, tingle. I left the conditioner in for almost an hour (I lost track of time) with my Hot Head Deep Conditioning Cap. Once I rinsed out the conditioner, my hair felt great! It felt moisturized and strengthened.

I straightened my hair this time around and applied a little of the Avocado Hair Milk just before wrapping it. I was a bit hesitant because it is water based, but my hair was fine and didn’t revert. Let me just say that this is my favorite product out of the bunch! The smell is light and sweet. My hair was super shiny all week and very moisturized. What more could you ask for?

Now I see why everyone raves about Mielle Organics. I was most impressed by how shiny the products leave my hair. I’ll definitely be trying the other products in their line in the near future. Mainly the White Peony Leave-In Conditioner and the Mint Almond Oil. I think the Leave-In would be great for when I twist my hair… especially since it’s a spray.

I tried a straight style and also my usual twists to see how the products work with straightened hair and with curly hair and it works very well on both. 

If you haven’t tried Mielle Organics yet, what are you waiting for???

Product Review – Eden Bodyworks Coco Shea Berry Kids

Posted in Uncategorized by

This past week I decided to try the Coco Berry Shea Kids line from Eden Bodyworks. 

There was a CurlBox Dope Deal, so I decided to order them online. It ended up being cheaper than buying each item separately in the store. I did see them in Sally’s Beauty so I was able to smell them beforehand and they smell so good. A product I would definitely use in a child’s hair (or my own). 

I started off by washing my hair with the shampoo. Very nice product! It cleanses without stripping. My hair still felt moisturized and not dry and trashy. 

There is no rinse out or deep conditioner for this line, but there is a leave-in conditioner spray. That’s one thing I wish they had. Instead, I used my tried and true Camille Rose Naturals – Coconut a Water Deep Penetrating Conditioner. 

After deep conditioning and rinsing, I sprayed some of the leave in and twisted my hair with the Berry Curly Cream. I used the Berry Natural Smoothing Gel on my roots and also on my edges. 

My twists stayed neat all week and at the end of the weak I had a beautiful twistout that was full of definition, shine and it still felt moisturized. I didn’t re-moisturize my hair during the week (I never do). 

I’d recommend these products and I think they’d work wonderful in children’s hair. They seems very gently but they get the job done. I will also use them again. 

This is damp hair. Bobby pins are used to keep the twists from unraveling until it dries in position.

This is end of the week hair.

 
…and here’s my delicious twistout!
