Wash and Go Routine feat. Kinky Curly Custard +ALOE VERA!

NEVER in a million years did I think I would complete a SUCCESSFUL wash and go on MY 4C textured hair. I've only done like two (wash and gos) since I have been natural because they ALWAYS come out janky and hot frizzy mess.....Buuuuuut not this time. My sister introduced me to Kinky Curly Custard and needless to say, this product got my ENTIRE head together!!

The last time I did a wash and go I used the "toxic" Eco Styler Gel and that was a hot MESS. The gel did not mix well with the Shea Moisture moisturizer and coconut oil that I used. Also, I used waaayyy too much product and not enough water...Girl, it was just a mess.

This time around, I wanted to incorporate natural (aka grown out of the Earth) products. I used my go-to and FAITHFUL Aloe Vera gel as a leave in and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

 Peep how I completed my wash and go below:
  • Start your wash and go with fresh (clean) hair. *This is the most important step; it will determine how well your wash and go products will take to your hair.*
  • Section the hair off and finger de-tangle as needed.
  • Generously spray hair with WARM water (low porosity tip) to prep it for the Aloe Vera gel.
  • Take your aloe slices (gel side) and smooth the gel onto your scalp and body of your hair (click for aloe vera benefits).
  • Be sure to WORK the aloe vera gel into your strands and don't forget your ends! They need the most lovin'
  • Next apply your oil of choice (my go-to is extra virgin olive oil) onto your scalp as well as the body of your hair to help moisturize and lock in moisture. 
  • Work that oil in Honeyy and coat your hair with MORE  warm water. 
  • Next, apply the Kinky Curly Curl Custard (try saying that five times fast lol) to your ends first, then work it into the body of your hair using the "raking method". *Note: a little goes a LONG way with the curl custard, trust me*
  • Repeat this process until your entire head is finished, then dry your hair (using your method of choice) and style!
I let my hair air-dry for about an hour, then I used a blow dryer (with a blow dryer diffuser attachment) to dry my roots. 
Day 3 Curls!


While drying, the product did leave my hair EXTREMELY moisturized, but it also had a slight sticky feel. My curls dried to a beautiful finish and the sticky feeling diminished, leaving my hair full of curls and bounce! 

 No white residue and NO crunchy feeling. Ms. Kinky Curly Custard + Aloe Vera made this wash and go BEYOND successful. I highly recommend this product ESPECIALLY for us 4C beauties like me that can use some help with the curl poppage.

You CAN Overcome Heat Damage... Here's how

The title seems misleading, but it's true; you CAN overcome heat damage! But it will not happen overnight. Contrary to belief, there is no overnight hair product or oil that will magically fix your damaged hair. Before I dive into anything, let me give you a rundown of my heat damage experience. Go back to October 2017 for a second. It was a beautiful fall day in Atlanta. For whatever reason, I got the sudden urge to straighten my natural hair.A wig was not enough for me anymore. I just took my extra long twists out and I wanted to try something I haven't done in a while...... This was my first mistake. Later that day I began to prep for my straightening. I pulled out some old and I mean OLD heat protectant spray and spritzed it all over my hair. I can't remember the brand, however I do remember is it was in a green bottle, with an orange spray top. As I gathered my tools, I realized I had two really old flat irons tucked away in my beauty closet. I was excited about ...

Mielle Organics vs Kinky Curly (Curl Enhancers) REVIEW

Haven't blogged in a minute, have you missed me? (haha) Anyways, I am back with another review! Well it's a semi review.....This time I put my two favorite brands against each other. Off rip, my favorite product for SUPER curl definition is the Kinky Curly Curl Custard by Kinky Curly. My sister put me on this product earlier this year and it has been the ONLY product so far that gives me maximum definition. I have been itching to try other curl enhancing brands since I fell in love with the Kinky Curly Custard, so I finally tried something new! Before I get into this (new to me) product, I want to explain my hair to you. If I can be honest, I don't know my exact hair type. From what my hair has shown me, she behaves in a very "4C" manner.  My roots stay kinky, to the point that if there is no water/moisturizer on it, FORGET trying to define anything. The body and ends of my hair are another story. I have loose-wavy curls in the front, tight ASS coils on th...

Texture ID...ENTIRE Line - Honest Review

I literally just want to dive right into this review and I will try my absolute hardest to not be long-winded (lol). I had the honor to try the entire Texture ID product line by Sally Beauty. I won them through a giveaway my homie/hair product-plug was hosting. The entire Texture ID line is made with four essential ingredients ( honey, aloe vera, protein, and nutrient rich oils) that are supposed to lock in moisture as well as provide intense definition. Listed below are each of the products from the Texture ID line as well as my initial thoughts. I will also let you know if I recommend the product or not and why I do (or don't recommend lol). Let's get into it.... Texture ID: Curl Clarifying Shampoo  - Rating: 6/10 The shampoo is very light almost too light for my hair, but it lathers well. I love the scent; it's not too heavy but it is also very light almost like a dryer sheet cotton-like scent. The product claims to not strip your hair of natural oils, b...
