I had the opportunity to review Arhpahair (Pronounced "Afra") All Natural Hair Products so I decided to show you all my wash day and twist-out methods!
All Natural Scalp Cleanser
The Owner was generous enough to send her entire line of hair products and they include the following:
Wash Day Products
My wash day line up included the Strengthening & Moisturizing Shampoo, the All Natural Scalp Cleanser, and the Avocado and Honey Deep Conditioner (in that order).
Strengthening & Moisturizing Shampoo
Strengthening Shampoo |
Pros: Did not strip my hair dry like normal shampoo. Upon initial application, the shampoo went on my hair almost like conditioner; I was literally finger de-tangling my hair with the shampoo! It was crazy. A little goes a long way with this shampoo and I LOVED that. It foamed easily and left my hair so shiny after I rinsed it.
Cons: No lie, I had no complaints with the actual shampoo. My only suggestion would be to put it in a bottle with a pump to control the amount of product that comes out since it is so rich and a little really goes a long way.
All Natural Scalp Cleanser
Pros: This cleanser is made with apple cider vinegar so I already knew it would leave my scalp squeaky clean and it did! I applied it directly to my scalp and kept it on for five minutes, then rinsed as directed.
Cons: Since the Scalp Cleanser is made with apple cider vinegar there is a slight vinegar smell upon application, but if you follow the directions and rinse the product, your hair will not be left with any vinegar smell. The smell maybe a issue to some, but it wasn't a big deal to me.

All Natural Avocado and Honey Deep Conditioner
Pros: Where do I begin? The smell of the deep conditioner is incredible. I was expecting more of an earthly heavy scent but it was the complete opposite. The smell is light and wasn't annoyingly strong like other conditioners I used in the past. The Deep conditioner melted into my hair and made my hair so soft and manageable! This is another one of their products where a little goes a long way because it really penetrated my strands and left strong and curly- shiny hair behind.
Cons: I NEED more of this product; 4 ounces is not enough for the magic it contains. PERIOD.

Twist-Out Products
For my twist-out I used the Rich Conditioning Hair Cream as my moisturizer and the African Hair Growth Pomade as my oil. The two products combined left my hair defined, shiny, and EXTREMELY moisturized.
Rich Conditioning Hair Cream
Pros: It is extremely thick, yet goes on your hair with ease and melts like butter. My hair literally sucked the product up upon application. It wasn't too oily and the scent was light and matched the smell of the Avocado and Honey Deep Conditioner which was amazing.
Cons: I wouldn't be able to use the moisturizer as a stand-alone product because of how quickly my hair absorbed it (which isn't a bad thing), but when it was combined with the African Hair Growth Pomade, the Cream somewhat reactivated itself and made my twist-out more defined.

African Hair Growth Pomade
Pros: Not too oily and I love a good pomade for my scalp. The oil saturated my scalp and hair without dripping down my neck or ears (lol). The smell was light and not heavily fragrant.
Cons: I would appreciate this product in oil form as well, not just as a pomade, but I don't have any complaints on the product.

Final Thoughts?
Overall, Arhpahair All Natural Hair products have been a blessing to my hair. I loved how well the products worked together on my head and I love even more that all of the ingredients are all natural. I plan on incorporating the Strengthening and Moisturizing Shampoo and Avocado and Honey Deep Conditioner to my monthly wash day routine because they were my FAVORITE products out of the bunch. They left my hair shiny and bouncy even after ALL of the products were washed out.
Like I mentioned before, I wouldn't necessarily use the Rich Conditioning Hair Cream by itself because my hair absorbed it too quickly, however when paired with the African Growth Pomade both products showed up and showed OUT with my twist-out definition!
The owner was a dream to work with and I am so grateful she reached out for a product review. I highly recommend her products if you are struggling with dry/previously heat- damaged hair, prefer an all natural product selection, are in need of affordable products, and if you support black-owned businesses!
