Walmart & Whole Foods Haul

Hey all :)

So I've recently went shopping for some new conditioners, shampoo & henna. Let me tell you this, I love pretty much everything I purchased and how they worked well with my hair. The products that I purchased from Walmart are below. The list and price of each are as follows:

Suave Daily Clarifying Shampoo (Family Size) 2.87

Suave Almond & Shea Butter Conditioner 32 oz 2.87 ( Smells great )

Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment around 4.00 (product review below)

Giovanni 50/50 Balanced Shampoo (not too sure of this price but this stuff was expensive)

Giovanni Nutrafixx Hair Reconstructor (again pricey)

Organic Olive Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion 5.87 ( I love how soft this stuff makes my hair feel)

I only picked up three things from whole foods:

I got this Henna for about 7.50 & in the burgundy color.

Organic JoJoba Oil for around 9.00 ( I absolutely love this stuff)

Organics Green Apple & Ginger Conditioner for around 11.00 (Smells GREAT ! )

Product Reviews:

The first product I wanted to review was the Organics Green Apple & Ginger Conditioner. This stuff smelled great as soon as I opened it. However, I had to apply a bit more than usual to get it to really define my curls. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone although the price is a little outrageous for the size.

Next, my favorite treatment (I use it as a deep conditioner) is the Garnier Fructis 3-Minute Dryness Reversal Treatment. First let me tell you that the 3 main ingredients in this are, Olive, Avocado and Shea Oils. This is from the bottle: Olive oil nourishes the hair's inner core. Avocado oil nourishes and softens the middle layer. Shea oil nourishes and smoothes the surface of the hair.

As soon as I applied this to my hair, it immediately responded & not to mention it smells wonderful. I know that I will be using this constantly so I'm hoping to buy more of this and quick. Also, I want to try the deep conditioner they make which is infused with the same 3 ingredients.

Overall I would recommend both products.

Peace & Happiness. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

New Purchases

Hey all :)

So I (Erricka) have recently bought three new items to add to my collection of natural hair care.

They are as follows:

ApHogee Pro-Vitamin Leave-In Conditioner

Coconut Oil

Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In Conditioning Repair Cream (My Favorite)

I am absolutely in love with the smell of coconut oil; it drives me insane. I am hoping to visit a health food store on Friday to purchase some mango butter and I am still in search of a protein treatment.

Later Gators :)

This is JenSon...one half of this blogg. and of course there is Erica! Erica & I are lovers...besties...sisters...ya know the whole nine. We decided today to do a joint blog! We get a lot of attention on twitter with the things we say but thats only 140 characters, but here we can say so much more. We are very opinionated...to say the very least lol so this should be quite interesting!

We hope you enjoy our freaking blog...if you don't whatever we aren't worried about ur wack butts anyways! HA!
