Twists & PonyTails (Blended Beauty Products)



This is a quick hair style I did on my niece this past weekend.  Let me start by saying, her hair is very different from my daughters' hair, it is long and fine with very loose curls (tangles very easily).  I don't consider myself to be equipped with the "necessary"products for her hair type but when I typically do her hair, I do what I can with what I have.  So this time, I had the pleasure of trying some new products from Blended Beauty children's line called Blended Cutie (Thanks KandyLand Kurls & Stacey).  You can find these products at www.blendedbeauty.com.  I really enjoyed using these products!  Stay tuned for a detailed product review of each product.

Products Used (Blended Beauty)
BC SilkShake (A natural detangling lotion spray)
BC Jelly Cream (A soft hold moisturizing gel lotion)
BC Down & Out Styles (A styling cream and moisturizer)

Before and After Washing 
All detangled. It was a breeze after using the SilkShake  (Look at that sheen, my daughter even said , "its so shiny")

Look at that definition (After approx. 10 mins)

Product Review: Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Masque


Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Masque
Cost: $9.99 (Target/Walgreens)
Size: 12 oz
Scent: Light Floral
Consistency: Rich Creamy

What They Say:
This all natural intense treatment masque with biotin & bamboo extract is for thin, fine hair. It penetrates to moisturize and repair over-processed, dry, brittle or damaged hair. It thickens, volumizes & softens.
Baobab oil-Contains vitamins A,C,D,E and F to fortify and strengthen hair
Yucca-Thickens hair and helps to prevent hair loss
Biotin-A powerful B vitamin that strengthens the hair follicle

What I Say: 
I enjoy this masque as a deep conditioner.  It has a nice creamy, thick texture.  I have used it on dry and wet hair and liked the results of both. It leaves the hair soft, manageable and feeling healthy & strong.  It does not provide much slip for detangling which I don't mind because I detangle prior to using.  BG "S" does not have thin or fine hair (she has thick, coarse hair) but I like this masque for her hair especially since it has both biotin and vegetable protein in it. (I typically stay away from products with protein for BG "S" but to my surprise this product doesn't make her hair hard.)  Oh and I absolutely love the smell!
