Greek Yogurt and Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Treatment

So, its been about 4 weeks since taking down BG "S" locs.  Since then, we have been getting back into the swing of things.  Some products don't work like they use to prior to loc'ing so we've been in a trail period (trying some old products and some new products).

One thing I have been consistent with is Deep Conditioning weekly to get the hair back to a healthier and stronger state.  I have currently been using the Nothing But Intense Healing Masque (review to come), which I like a lot.  This time I decided to try an all natural homemade deep conditioner by way of beauty blogger Coilybella.  You can find the recipe HERE along with the benefits.

Here are some pics of the process

*MIXING*

1.  Starting out with the Fage Greek Yogurt

2.  Remaining ingredients added (AVJ, Coconut Oil, EVOO, Honey, ACV, Shea Butter)

3.  After adding the melted Shea Butter to the mix, it solidified (duh) due to the cold temperature of the yogurt and AVJ, so I warmed the bowl up in a pot of hot water

4. The deep treatment after blending and warming

 

*APPLICATION*

1.  BG "S" hair after applying Deep Conditioning Treatment
2.  BG "S" hair after being left on for an hour with a bag and spandex cap
3.  BG "S" hair after rinsing (yes, it feels exactly how it looks! Like butta...)

FINAL VERDICT

Love, love, love it!  The slip was amazing and it allowed me to detangle with ease.  After rinsing her hair, it was amazingly soft ( I couldn't believe it ).  And the hair was so shiny!  On the flip side, it stinks (which is what the ACV and EO is for) and its messy but I can deal with the smell since I always deep condition before washing. And the mess is certainly worth the outcome of how the hair looks and feels along with the benefits of a natural recipe!

Product Review: Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque

Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque

What They Say:
Our all-natural intense treatment masque deeply penetrates to moisturize and repair over-processed, dry, brittle or damaged hair. Sea kelp trace minerals detoxify hair follicles of impurities and residue. Argan oil restores shine and rebuilds hair elasticity. Shea butter deeply moisturizes and repairs damage to hair and scalp.

What I Say:
This is a oldie but goodie and I am finally getting around to doing a review!  This was one of the first products I used when I started BG "S" healthy hair journey.  When I first began using this product, I used it as a styling product to do two-strand twists on slightly damp hair.  As a styling cream, this stuff is A-mazing, it absorbs nicely into the hair, it is unbelievably moisturizing and it makes the hair super soft.  The scent is strong, so if you are sensitive to smells this product probably won't work for you.  It wasn't until recently that I used this product as a deep conditioner.  As a deep conditioner, I wasn't exactly blown away.  I didn't notice much if any difference in the hair other than a nice sheen added to the hair after rinsing the product out.  This product is great if used as a styling creme but not so great if used as a deep conditioning treatment. I will not be using this product as a deep conditioner but as a styler.  A little goes a long way so the product last a long time!
