Twice Is Nice...and A Surprise Coming
Anyways, on to my post. I did a hot oil treatment and washed my hair tonight once again using the Aphogee products: shampoo for damaged hair, moisturizing balancing conditioner, 2 minute Keratin treatment, and the provitamin leave in. I then twisted while damp using my shea butter moisturizer and watered down Giovanni direct leave in. I plan on doing the same moisturizing regimen I used this past week, alternating my products that include Carols's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter, I could definitely tell a difference in how moisturized my hair was on this wash day. I do still plan on buying the Kera Care Butter Cream or the As I Am Double Butter as soon as I can, I know I liked the Butter Cream better than the Double Butter so I think that may be the one I purchase along with the Hair Milk for my daughter.
I surely saw a difference in the my hair shed from either breakage of regular shedding. I detangled a different way this time and I think I will do a video on that next week when I wash again.This was also my first time using the Keratin conditioner and I loved the way my hair felt afterwards, it was so soft. Can't wait to see the results in the morning after I untwist, stay tuned for pictures.
Also guys stay tuned for a surprise first thing in the morning...good night!

Aphogee Protein Treatment
First of all when I went to purchase the treatment I happened to walk in with a female police officer and we both just happened to be going to the same product. I asked her if she had ever used the protein treatment and she said yes and that the Aphogee products are the only ones she uses, who would have thought it, oh and she was natural. As we were talking she was telling me that she uses all the products on a regular basis and that her favorite is the hair oil, according to her before she hits the streets she washes, throws the oil in her hair and is out the door.
By this time I was feeling good about the products.
I bought my stuff and was on my merry way.
I first shampooed with the shampoo for damaged hair, and let me tell you I make sure to read the lables before using and the last thing I read was if gets in eye rinse with cold water, and lawd have mercy, what happened the shampoo got in my eye and I thought I was going to be blind forever. I rinsed for about 10 minutes and it took 15 for my eye to get back to normal. It burned like crazy and that was just the shampoo. After rinsing and drying I applied the protein treatment and this time I put on gloves cause I was still afraid from the shampoo and this stuff smelled bad, I used a spray bottle for this step and kept my eyes closed, not finna get me again.
I sat under the dryer for about 30-40 minutes and came out with some rock hard hair.
After rinsing I used the Moisture Balancing conditioner, then did a DC with my own conditioner and styled my hair like I usually do, oh and I used Aphogee ProVitamin leave in as the base for my other styling products. Style of choice was of course a twist out.
Am I happy with the results? Yep!

Aphogee Review
So school is starting back on Monday, sad face, but I will be so excited to see a check.
This week was time to get my girls hair ready for the year after having a break during the summer, I decided to give the Aphogee line a try, I did a little research and figured I should have good results with it being all pH balanced and stuff, I did like that fact. Here's what I bought.
Overall I loved the outcome of my girls hair, I will definitely be using them again on their hair and can't wait to use it on mine as well.
Check out pics below, I am working on a video review and having trouble uploading the videos from my phone to my computer, hopefully I will have it soon.

Greetings from the road & Updates
Anywho, on our way to Texas for the 4th to visit my mom, girls in the back with a little car sickness as usual, they got it honest from me, and that's with the bracelets and all. While driving I thought I would post about my hubby who cut his Loc's out after getting them started several weeks ago. In all fairness I don't blame him, it's hot and he works on air conditioners which makes him sweaty then he starts digging in his hair making it look a mess like it was yesterday. So instead of making me do his hair he decided to cut it off, no worries though he his going to grow it back out and start over in the Fall. Pics at the bottom...
Quick product review: with a little water last night I retwisted my twists from Tuesday with Kimmay leave in and the As I Am Twist and Define Butter...the best definition ever. Took twists out while riding and my hair is so defined and shiney, can't wait to seperate and fluff some more. I think I am in love with the Butter, again.

So Much To Say So Little Time
So yesterday I got my coupons and hit the street trying out my new found love. I started at 10:00 am getting my couponing on, first was CVS for my BOGO box of cereal and Old El Paso Tortilla Stuffers that was for dinner tonight and quite good. They were on sale for $1.99 and I had a $1 off coupons so I grabbed a few of those. My Baby Girl enjoyed two tortillas.
Next was Walgreens and then Dollar General with the coupons cause they both had some awesome deals too. Okay so now it is 11:30am and I am headed back home to get my list together and the rest of my coupons and print some more and then head off to Kroger's...to make a long story short I spent most of my day shopping for the home finally finishing by 4:30. It wouldn't have taken so long it I would not have been searching the web for more coupons, next time I will make sure to have all this ready before hand, I am learning, regardless I did really well yesterday. If the people on TLC can do it I know I can.
Truthfully, we spend $130 every one and a half to two weeks and that is only on food, if I include household necessities that price would be more so as you can see I need to do something and fast. Surely as time goes by I will get better and better, wish me luck.
2. I finally had the chance to wash hair, I know I just washed Saturday but last night I noticed my hair was feeling a little uuugghhh. So guess what I dd? I whipped out the As I Am Coconut Cowash and got to work. I washed my hair in the twists that were already in and just retwisted afterwards using the Kimmay leave in (sorry ya'll, that stuff is just great in my hair and leaves it super soft).
On to the Cowash: I love the cowash and the smell of it. The texture was like any normal conditioner but the smell was amazing, not flowery but more fruity, delicious. After rinsing my hair was so soft and still so very moisturized I was very surprised, I have to say I liked it better than my Tresemme Naturals which is the only conditioner I have been using for a while, I was really sad that the sample was all gone :(. My hair responded well to this product, definitely something that I
If I had 5 thumbs I would give that many thumbs up for this first time use.
Has anybody else had amazing results with this product?

Carols Daughter Curl Defining Hair Milk
I am not big on curl defining, one because I am not big on definition and two because wash and go on this hair is a no go. I go it partly because I was just interested and it was my birthday and hubby said he was taking me shopping so I couldn't pass it up.
My results after the first try:
Curl Perfecting Shampoo: I was not impressed with it much, my hair felt rough after shampooing, whenever I use it again maybe I will add some oils, or rather, I think it may be good watered down a little. It smells amazing though. It won't be my staple shampoo, sorry still not better than my Shea Moisture
Gentle Shampoo for Curly Hair
We love this because it:
PLUS, this has NO Parabens, Petroleum, Mineral Oil or artificial color
Ingredients
Curl Perfecting Conditioner: As far the conditioner goes, I loved it, it was even a great detangler which surpised me. It was like silk between my hands. I conditioned my baby girls hair with it yesterday thinking it was just a coincidence and it wasn't, the wide tooth comb glided through it. And once again the smell was amazing. The after affects were great too. This will be a product to buy again, always looking for something to work in all of our hair.
Gentle Conditioner for Curly Hair
We love this because it:
PLUS, this has NO Parabens, Petroleum, Mineral Oil or artificial color

Hair Milk the Original Curl Definer: Soooo, I did a wash and go with this but only for yesterday, cause I was in a rush to get to church and after an hour and a half of Zumba my hair was super sweated out on Saturday. Anyways, this left my hair so soft but unfortunately there was a no day two cause I just couldn't do it. I also like that is a lotion form.
Styling Aid for Already-Defined Curls That Need Control

Loreal Sulfate Free Moisturizing Shampoo
I am being good and using the right shampoo on my hair, you know the one for "color treated" hair that I used every once in a while the last time. I decided I wanted to try this on my hair, seeing that she does not like sulfate, my hair gets very rough after a shampoo. Now that I think about it I still have a huge bottle of Tresemme Naturals under my sink that she does not like, been trying to give that sucker away.
This Loreal is a keeper, it really reminded me of my Shea Moisture Retention shampoo I use now, my hair was left so soft and still felt moisturized after being rinsed. I did not get the conditioner cause I used what came in the box with the hair dye which is a great two minute conditioner before I DC'ed, I may buy it next time though just to try it out.
In all, I feel like this is going to be a good shampoo to go to for me.
For first time use I give it a 5.

Other ingredients: Sea kelp-trace minerals detoxify hair follicles of impurities and residue.

I definitely give this product two thumbs up!!!
Now on to Quemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream
I heart this soooo much it's ridiculous, this left my hair so super soft the past week when wearing my twist out, I hated to wash my hair. The consistency reminded me of Afroveda Totally Twisted Ginger Almond Butter the only difference is the smell, I'm just not to fond of the smell of the Almond Butter it triggered my allergies something awful. The Burdock Root barely has a smell and I like that.
Quemet Biologics Burdock Root Butter Cream
Product Description
Our Burdock Root Butter Cream is a light, water based leave-in for fine haired naturals, straight styles and those looking for a light penetrating moisturizer. It conditions and softens while nourishing the scalp. Leaves hair healthy, soft and supple!
Key Ingredients: Contains Pure Mediterranean Olive Oil for softness and emollience, extracts of Burdock Root, Nettle Leaf, Oatstraw and Wheat for their conditioning, scalp nourishing, shine enhancing and hair growth properties. Vegetable glycerin for its humectancy and MSM sulfur for nourishment and healthy hair growth.
Directions: Rub a moderate amount between palms and evenly distribute through wet, damp or dry hair. Leave-in and style. Use alone or in combination with any of the Qhemet Biologics leave-ins.
I give this product two thumbs up cause that's all the thumbs I got, if I had more they would go up too.
Unfortunately, my after almost two weeks my little sample size is completely gone I used the last bit tonight, but you know I will be putting in another order for the big size ASAP!
Hope you enjoyed, until next time, holla.

Afroveda-I'm In Love With The Butter
Tuesday, October 20, 2009
Wash-a-no no


Oh By the way the conditioner I bought is the Neutrogena Triple Moisture conditioner, I loved it, not to mention it smelled great, it is for dry and color treated hair so I thought I would use it to see how worked. It has olive, meadowfoam seed, and sweet almond oil in it.The consistency was nice and creamy but not so thick that it just sat on my hair, I bet it would work great as a leave in too. It still needs to pass the wash and go test to see if it makes the cut. So far I am up to three conditioners that Rock. Alright ya'll bedtime for me. Happy Nappy!

Amprogel Curle Curl part 2
This time I added some a little Eco Styler Gel with the Ampro Activator, I deep conditioned real good and while in the shower I raked my mixture through real good with my fingers. Again before doing that I added my Elasta QP Leave in to my hair. This mixture turned out really good. My hair likes these two products, there is no flaking, greasiness, or crunchiness. I am really excited that I found something for my wash n go's, I was getting worried for a minute there...
Anyways check out my videos and pictures.

Two product reviews
Elasta QP Feels Like Silk Leave In H2, moisture sealing conditioner


Product Info: Softens, detangles, moisturizes, and also for natural hair. This product is infused with olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, and other organic extracts. I liked this product alot for my hair, mainly because it is not thick. This is something that I can definitely tell a difference when used in my hair.
Would I use again: Definitely!

I also decided to try Elasta QP Deep Conditioner, loooove it! Man I was so impressed. I shampooed and deep conditioned for about thirty minutes and rinsed, when it was time to style I sprayed with my Feels Like Silk and let air dry. The feeling was super nice. These two products are going to be a staple under my sink.
So my hair regimen consists of this:
Shampoo: Elasta QP Conditioning Shampoo, I usually shampoo every 1 or 2 weeks, I was using Aubrey Organics, but for the price QP works just as well.
Conditioner: Elasta QP Intense Conditioner, use as needed which is usually once a week and Organix Shea Butter conditioner for my cowashes.
Deep Conditioner: once again Elasta QP DP11, never been so impressed with a D/C since I have been a natural girl. I always deep condition at least once a week, my hair needs it.
Other hair products consist of my homemade Shea Butter cream, tea tree, vitamin, coconut, and grape seed oil mix that I dab on my scalp and massage in every few days. I really don't have styling products as far as gel and stuff like that, I haven't worn a wash and go since the end of May mainly because it is too hot and humid here in Memphis right now so I have been doing some protective styles, plus the stuff I used in the winter don't work for this summer heat, it has been tried already. When I find something I will let you know.
Oh, and I can't forget my Henna which I use about once a month, I will be using it again on tomorrow, will let you know how it turns out. Toodles.

Product Review: Naat Intensive Mask

While walking around my local BSS I ran upon this Intensive Mask Hair Treatment for curly hair. I used it once on last Monday when I bought it and again this past Saturday as a deep conditioner when I washed again. You know what? I really like this product, it was fantastic! It also did a wonderful job on both my daughters hair, which makes it a plus product in my book. My hair was super soft and full of moisture all day, and after rinsing out of the girls hair I was able to run a large comb through it. I have been looking for a deep conditioning treatment and this is definintely going to be the one.
Product: Naat Treatment Curly Hair Intensive Mask; $5.99 at beauty supply store, $7.99 on line http://nunaat.com/.
Info: Intensive Mask with Keratinand Cupuacu Butter restores hair, it was specially developed to treat wavy, curly, and wavy curly hair.
Would I use again: Definitely! As soon as I fun out I will be buying this again and between me and my girls I am sure to run out quick. There is also shampoo, conditioner and a leave in that I would like to try too.
I give this product five stars
