January Faves/Reviews (Hair Care Products)

Mas vale tarde que nunca! (better late than never)
When I went out during the month of January, I really didn't vary my makeup routine. I have not tried any new products. I haven't really been in a makeup mood. I've been focusing more on my hair.



NO PETROLEUM JELLY that can weigh down hair & clog follicles. This light, non-greasy formula enriched with NATURAL OILS and VITAMINS A, B, C & E will add moisture to your hair leaving it soft and manageable.

Directions:
Apply to fingertips and gently manage throughout hair and scalp. OLIVE OIL has long been used as a skin softener which you will notice on your fingertips & cuticles after each use. With regular use you should obtain the same results on your scalp.

Ingredients: water, isopropyl Myristate, soybean oil, olive oil, stearic acid, stearyl alcohol, glycerol sterate, vitamin E, matricaria extract(chamomile), Calendula extract, vitamin B, macadamia nut oil, vitamin A, coconut oil, rosemary extract, sage extract, vitamin C, great burdock extract, triethanolamine, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, imidazolidnyl urea, fragrance, FD&C yellow #5, FD&C blue #1.

As I have two different textures of hair, it can be a challenge to manage it. I used this product on my scalp daily. I would recommend it to anyone trying to manage naturally curly hair or to anyone transitioning from a relaxer. I probably would use this product if I had my hair in an updo, as opposed to down. I feel like it might weigh down my thin hair if placed on the ends. It has a strong smell which might take a little getting used to. It is inexpensive & you get quite a bit of product.

4 out of 5 stars.

Mane 'n Tail Detangler, the solution for hard to comb hair

Directions
After showering, while hair is still damp, spray Mane 'n Tail Detangler liberally on hair. Work formula through, making sure it covers and reaches all of the hair. DO NOT RINSE OUT. Comb out hair with a large tooth comb or brush. Results are a super slip that allows hair to respond to styling effortlessly. Style as usual. If pump becomes clogged, run under warm water.

I LOVE this stuff! I'm 7 months post relaxer. I have more new growth than relaxed hair at this point. Mane 'n Tail Detangler makes detangling my hair a breeze. I have not encountered a better product. I use this on my tween daughters' hair as well.
All Pros & NO Cons with this product. It may leave the hair a little oily. My hair absorbs product & tends to be more dry in the winter months.

5 out of 5 stars!

Got Flakes? - Take Care of Your Skin!

Brrrr! Temperatures in my area have dipped below normal.
You may feel that familiar crack of dry skin.
I love love love my too hot showers. I know, that's terrible right?
I'm working on lowering the temperature gradually because I know that HOT water is terrible for my skin. The skin is the largest organ of our bodies. It is a marvel of design. Like a wetsuit. It is essential to drink enough water during colder months. It is also imperative to properly moisturize after showers & baths. Many of the products we use on our skin deplete it of natural oils. These need to be replenished. My current routine includes the use of some critical components.

1. A Korean Washcloth. I got mine from Walmart. If you are fortunate enough to have an Asian grocery store in your area, you may be able to find these. It is similiar to a kitchen scrubber sponge. The mesh kind, not the brillo type. I exfoliate DAILY. It is made of nylon & feels like the a cat's tongue. You may be able to find these on ebay.



2. A Gentle Cleansing Agent: I'm using Bath & Body Works discontinued works BREATHE collection. (got this from an outlet mall on the low)
It is a soap free formula. From time to time, I use Dove, Cucumber Melon bar.
I'm interested in trying Dove Nutrium.








3. Superior Moisturizing Routine: Olive Oil most closely resembles our skin's natural oils. When I get out of the shower, I use a blend of olive oils. Mine has regular & extra virgin olive oil together. After that, I break off a piece of raw shea butter & the warmth from my hands melts it. I concentrate on rough patches like ankles, knees & elbows. I also add some to my eczema areas. Warning, you may feel like a NAP after this treatment. There is nothing like a good rubdown to release endorphins.





4. DETOX & Supplement: Sugar is the enemy. Did you know that it causes our cells to age? YES! I drink a cup of Dandelion Root Tea every morning.
I drink it without any sweets. This is a detoxifying tea. I also have increased my intake of fresh fruits & veggies. I am working hard to be consistent with my intake of essential suppliments. I feel this is critical to great looking skin. I take Omega-3, & Flax Seed Oil for this. I have seen a marked difference in the smoothness & softness of my skin as a result of this routine. I hope you find it helpful.
