What is Argan Oil? Sally's Haul::: Product Review

Argan oil is high in Omega 3 and Omega 9 unsaturated fatty acids providing a boost of vitamin E when applied to the hair.

With frizzy or damaged hair, the hair strand is split and jaded. When the oil is applied to the strand the outer hair sheath is nourished and the cells flatten. Due to the dis-order of the outer sheath the oil readily enters and is absorbed by the hair strand.

The hair strand is immediately nourished providing hydration and elasticity. With the immediate repair of the outer hair sheath, each hair strand lies flat and combined with other strands reducing frizziness and tangle.

Proclaim Natural 7 Argan Oil

The hair strand will take on a nourished shiny look as the hair is rehydrated with locked in moisture. The Omega fatty acids and Vitamin E provides nourishment to each hair follicle that increases strength and protein bonding.
The application of argan oil is very simple. After washing your hair you apply the oil and massage the oil through your hair using your fingers. A little oil does go a long way so when applying the oil try to judge the least amount required to cover each hair strand.

I purchased these items a few weeks ago and wanted to try them all before giving my two cents. After researching Argan Oil I went to Sally's and bought every product with Argan Oil that my pennies could afford! LOL! I was pleasently pleased with ALL of my selections. I loved the Natural 7 Oil so much that I went back to buy three more bottles. Go to http://www.sallybeauty.com/ because they are having a sale. The three bottles of
Proclaim Natural 7 Argan Oil (pictured above) are buy 2 get one FREE!!! I love free stuff..The Hairtrition was pretty good, the leave-in conditioner worked great as a detangler!! I give it two thumbs up! These products can be used on relaxed or natural hair.

Samples .....Indigo for Hair...

===

Don't be creeped out by the website, the images are kinda spooky but its all good. Ive always had a pleasant experience purchasing from them...They even except Paypal which is awesome.

I mixed 2 boxes of Henna, Honey, EVOO, conditioner, scented oil, and lavender for fragrance (not pictured)


It looked really gookey...the smell wasn't as overwhelming as I imagined...


Coated each strand with the mixture, from root to tip...



BEFORE::: Over processed, split ends, damaged hair.... My hair is relaxed in these photos. (pics taken approx. 3 years ago)



After Henna treatment, I clipped my ends....

I was very pleased with the results. My hair was soft, bouncy, and full of luster. One downside of the henna was that my hair was extremely thirsty afterwards. Nothing major, just had to generously oil my scalp.

A few months after the Henna I put a Cherry Cola rinse on my hair. I posted this pic to show that you can color your hair after using henna,...

The pic was taken after using Indigo...It turns your hair like a blue-black hue. Its 100% natural as well, just add water and apply!!

This pic is a request from a follower of the blog, she wanted to see how my hair looked after the BC!! This is for you girl!!! This is a month or so after cutting my hair..around 8/2008... Rockin' the Florida Evans fro!!! LOL

Product Review: Carol's Daughter- SweetHoneyDip ChocolateBrownSugah Scrub!!

Chocolate, Honey and Vanilla Bean-Scented Natural Exfoliant

SweetHoneyDip ChocolateBrownSugah HONEY CHILE!!!! This product rocks on so many glorious levels!!! My beautiful cousin Mary bought me this for my birthday, it came in a cute little draw string satchel thingy. I remember when Carol's Daughter first hit the scene, I read that Jay-Z loved the 'Ocean" scent sugar scrub so I ran out to buy it!! LOVED IT...so I couldn't wait to use this scent because I had never smelled it before. Yall know I am super EXTRA but believe me when I say this product is the biz-O! OMG...My skin was so soft and moisturized, not to mention I smelled like a big ole' Tootsie Roll. The scent is DREAMY!! The brown sugar crystals exfoliate and with this WINTER weather, my skin needed some TLC. Shout out to my cuzzo for such a great gift. I love it!! Thank you again!!

Cara B Naturally is for ME!!

I won! I won!! A few months ago I won a box of Cara B products from Candice, founder of Simplistic Chic , I was so geeked because I never win anything from the 50-11 giveaways that I enter..So to find out that I won was awesome!!

As you can see my daughter's hair is very thick, kinky and it is very tangled in this pic. Usually I try to refrain from allowing her to wear her hair down for extended periods of time. It is a nightmare to comb her hair when its tangled for she and I.

After taking all of the hair accessories out her hair I bathed her with the Baby Bar Soap Bundle. It was very mild, I loved how the scent wasn't overwhelming. The smell was sweet yet subtle, the soap lathered up rather quickly. I felt comfortable allowing her to bathe herself with the bar soap unlike other brands that can be too strong. After she was nice and clean I wet her hair and lathered in the Shampoo / Body Wash. This shampoo/wash lathered up quickly and had a silky feel to it. It felt like it was lotion in the shampoo because her hair and skin felt so soft. A small amount of lather got in her eyes and she did not flinch. That is so comforting for a parent who has a small child, tear free natural products are always a plus!! My daughter has a very mild case of excema and the Cara B products didn't iritate her skin like some "natural" products have done in the past. The shampoo doubles as a body wash and I have even used it as a bubble bath.

After rinsing all of the shampoo out her hair I added the Leave-In Conditioner / Daily Moisturizer which instantly moisturized. The sweet almond smell was so yummy!! Her hair started waving up...it had a 'wash-n-g0' look to it...I could have put on a head band and sent her on her way. It was so cute and SOFT!! The awesome thing for a parent with a child who hates to have their hair washed is that the conditioner was a leave-in. YAY!! We didn't have to rinse the conditioner out! YES!!!

Since my daughter has sensitive skin I only use 100% unrefined raw shea butter because of her excema...I took a small chunk of shea butter and squeezed some Body Lotion and mixed it together. It worked like a charm!! It mixed very well and gave the boring shea butter smell a kick of yummy goodness!! The almond and jojoba oil was so sweet...we were kissing all over her because she smelled so good. After she was dressed I combed her hair with the Moisturizing Hair Mist which is awesome as a detangler. The usual chore of combing her hair is so much easier with the Cara B products.

The whole family has used these products. The Moisturizing Hair Mist with shea butter is what I use when I twist my hair. I love that these products aren't greasy and sticky!

Where have these products been my whole life!!!???? Thank you Simplistic Chic and thank you Cara B Naturally!!!

PRODUCT REVIEW:: Tree Hut Shea Body Butter

On a recent trip to Wally World (Wal-Mart) I zoomed in on this body butter. It said shea butter so I was tempted to further inspect this unfamiliar product. As usual, I unscrewed the lid to catch a wiff...I was blown away at how GOOD it smelled. That day I fell in love with Tree Hot Shea Body Butter. I purchased the matching shower gel and sea scrub. Very affordable!

**NOTE::: It contains No Parabens or DMDM!
