Coily Headed Chick’s Hair Perfection First Impression Review

This is not a full review! I will continue testing this product hopefully in the next 2 weeks before the temps get too low to go out with damp roots.

SO far I’m impressed by this gel. The first time I used it I wasn’t too impressed. I found it made my hair crunchy (which is normal) and dry. However, the first time, I tried it alone instead of with a leave in, ect.

However, this time I used less gel (about 2 pumps per section)! I also used a leave in and a butter or cream with the gel. I didn’t get a lot of crunch (I mean very little and mostly only on the ends of my hair).

Today I used it with:
 Organicals Deep Conditioning Crème (http://www.ingredientstodiefor.com/item/Organicals_Deep_Conditioning_Creme/1001/) - it’s a conditioner based sold by a website called Ingredients to Die For! Since it is a base (check out this video or the website to find out what a base is or to even purchase), I added honey, my Rosemary Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Vatika Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Grapeseed Oil mixture to it.



 Camille Rose Moisture Butter- see previous post. So far I like this better than the Almond Jai Twisting Butter. However I still have dry hair after using this. It feels really nice and has nice slip on wet hair though! It sorta foams too!

And of course Hair Perfection (Youtuber’s jcokes7 (CoilyHeadedChick) new hair product).

I must say this is the second time I got a nice, mostly frizz free, and soft wash n go when using a leave in, a cream or butter, and a gel. I’m loving my hair right now! I’m going to try and get at least 2 or 3 day hair with it. Hopefully, I can test it some more and get a full review out!

P.S.: When my phone charges I might come back with a pic of my hair!

Peace and good hair days everyone!

For the Wash n Go Challenged

Hey guys! I know it has been a while. But April, May, and June have been hectic and trying for me. I graduated from college, stopped volunteering (on some bullshit…), and developed asthma. But now that things have settled down, I figured I should start posting again! I’m also a product reviewer for KinkyCurlyCoilyMe (as of last night)! So I’ll definitely be posting over there. Whenever I do, I will provide a link! 

Well on to the post…

Some naturals swear by wash n go’s. As for me, I ALWAYS had issues doing them. Either I would get tangles and SSKs, my hair would shrink and not flatter my face, or I would use certain gels and get hard, crunchy, dry hair. Well, I finally figured out a technique to eliminate this! I hope this helps anyone who has issues with getting a nice wash n go.

After cleansing (this should be done on clean, wet hair) apply a light but moisturizing leave in conditioner (I used Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Nectar). While hair is still wet, apply a cream or creamy butter (I used Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter - Old Formula)! Then apply your gel while hair is still wet. Since I was afraid my hair would get hard, I opted for pure Aloe Vera Gel (Lily of the Dessert) which has a soft hold.

*Note: I started this process in the shower (leave in and butter) and ended in the kitchen (aloe vera gel).* 

I let my hair air dry and checked for moisture by touching lightly. For the most part, my hair was soft, moveable, WELL DEFINED, and fell in my face nicely. 

Now to preserve the style you can add a light refresher (a light leave in or spray leave in) and pineapple. I like to make two on both sides of my head so I can sleep more comfortably. I used Oyin’s Juices and Berries as a leave in spray and sealed with Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO). If you use a lotion type leave in, spray hair with water first, apply the leave in, and then lightly seal.

The next day my hair felt sorta dry in my jungle area (the sides near my ears). The rest of my hair felt relatively soft. So I refreshed with Curl Junkie Coco Cream Lite and sealed again. Today my hair feels sorta gunky. Next time, I won’t use so many different products and seal each time. But for the most part, 1^st and 2^nd day hear were wearable and soft (except for my jungle). For me, if my jungle stays moisturized after a day or two, I know the moisture content on the product is excellent. Unfortunately, I can’t say that for the Camille Rose Almond Jai Twisting Butter. I’m testing it out some more before I do a formal review. But so far, it’s not a staple or a re-purchase.

I’ll be back with more posts!

Peace!
