Product Review (Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner




I've been procrastinating on reviewing this product for months. For no reason in particular. I just have. I only mention it because when I planned to review it the product was fairly new on the scene. By now everyone has probably already tried it and really has no need to hear my review. That said, I'm sure some of you haven't so I'll give my review anyway.

First let me say that the price was great. I got a 32oz. bottle from Walmart for $2.84 although I was there a week or so ago and I think they raised the price a bit. Not by much. It's still in the $3 range.

Anyway, the smell is very pleasant. It's a light vanilla-ish scent and is not overpowering at all. The consistency is pretty creamy and thick. I have used this conditioner to condition about 4 times as well as to DC after having added EVCO (extra virgin coconut oil) and honey to it.
I have to say that it was not bad. Especially for the price. It didn't leave my hair feeling the best it's ever felt (I mean it's no "Totally Twisted") but I think it did well and I can also tell that this is one of those that would probably work great on someone else's hair.
It has good slip so it's good for detangling. My only problem with it is that I need a conditioner to feel like it really penetrated my hair and I didn't get enough of that feeling with this one. However, and this brings me back to what I said earlier, I can tell that this is one of those conditioners that some people will die for. I probably won't buy it again but I think it's worth trying out if you are the market for a new conditioner. Let me know if any of you have tried a it and what you thought about it.

EZ Combs



I'm sure everyone has seen these hair accessories around enough to be a little familiar with them. I had seen them many times and even stopped to look at them in the stores but I guess I figured my hair was too thick to really be able to use them. Well Sally's had them on sale a few weeks ago for around four or five dollars. SOLD...to the woman with the giant 'fro. Lol.
So I got the EZ Combs home and sat with me them for a weel or so amd finally one day after I had done a braid out I decided to give them a try. Here is the result. I personally thought it turned out fabulous!




The next day I pulled this bang back into the ez comb in a hump. It looked even better but I didnt get a pic of that.
