For sale: Indian Natural Straight 14" Clip ins

For Sale:

Up for sale are like new yet used human hair clip in extensions that I originally purchased from Magic Hair Company. They are Indian Natural Straight 14" of the color 1b. When I first bought them I got the wrong color so I dyed them black (1b).

These hair have only been worn for a few hours. Its really good hair, little shedding but that expected with any kind of hair. Afterall the hair on your head does shed right? lol. The hair is not dry at all. That's all I can say about the hair because I haven't done much with it. Haven't used heat or tried curling it. From what I've heard MHC is good. Check youtube reviews if you don't believe.

The reason I am not keeping them because I just cant fathom wearing them after the bad customer service I received. So my loss your gain.

They were originally purchased for a total of $152 but I really want them gone so I am selling them for $110. If anyone is interested you can leave a message and contact me and we work out payment through paypal or you can visit my ebay page and purchase.

Product Review: Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Day and Night

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair Day and Night


For those who read my blog posts, you guys know that I have been trying to find a way get rid of my post acne scars. I am very unfortunate because I have had these scars for over a year  now and still have most of them. Here's where Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair (NRTP)comes in...

My mom had the Neutrogena Rapid tone repair night and I really liked it so I  decided to buy my own and seeing that I am a believer of sun screen I purchased the Day cream to work in conjunction with the night. Plus they do say that products in pairs work best together so I gave it a go.



My Assessment:

Stars: ***

These products boasts to have the fastest working retinol available with vitamin C. Also claims to brighten skin tone,rude fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the look and dark spots and improve the skin's clarity and radiance. All this in one week. Really? .. I must test this.

Unfortunately, I was extremely disapponted. All this beautiful stuff they said I never experience. Only thing that I could say was the radiance. The texture of my skin and incredibly increased and my skin is much more smoother and softer.

I first started using these products on July 19th 2013 and stopped using the Night October 13th 2013. I would say I gave them a fair shot of working. The only reason I am still using the day formula is because of the sun screen. I am currently on the lookout for a new sunscreen. Any suggestion for an oily skin gal? .. Anyway back to the product. I love the consistency of the product. Not to thick or runny and there isn't any awful and unbearable smell.

Rapid? I think not. I used this product for almost 3 months and don't see much difference in the acne scars. Probably like 15% of the scars has faded. I am somewhat disappointed though. As I say though my skin is much more smoother.  Won't be repurchasing this product and I am patiently waiting for the day cream to finish so I can move on to something else.

September Protective Style: Buns..

Bunning...


Since my relaxer in August I decided to Protective style til my next relaxer which will be for my birthday in October. So many may be asking haven't you been doing that all this time? 


Lol, yes I have been but this time I mean every day non stop.. Nothing but bun, putting my hair away and protecting my ends.  I won't call this a challenge but its something that my focus will be on. I will be doing it for about 5 weeks. After then I will have my hair braided for a next 3 weeks. I'm not sure if I truly will be braiding my hair. If not I will continue bunning.



I'll just be taking down my hair at afternoons when I come home from work to M&S with my DB Vanilla Delight and Grapeseed oil and then nourish my scalp with my Hair Trigger every 2 days. Then doing my bun in the morning for work. I'll try as much to finger comb because I find lately that I've been using my Spornette paddle brush since I bought it :)


I'll be doing my famous and favorite sock bun for the next 5 weeks. Here's just a preview

Magic Hair Company?? Never Again....

 Magic Hair Company

So... I always wanted to try virgin hair and had been doing a lot of research and watching reviews since last year. There were so many companies such as Princesshairshop.com, Rebellechicextension.com even Aliexpress.com ... Urghh, but I eventually settled on MagicHairCompany.com  Well... Seems as if I should not have done that.

I decided to try the clips ins first and then if I liked them I would proceed to purchasing wefted hair that would be installed as weave. The company had a discount going on and it wasn't working so I emailed them telling them what exactly I wanted, color and length and they created an invoice. Upon receiving the invoice paid through paypal- The order was a total of $154.76US which is 435.27XD my currency which is a lot for someone who just started working and for not much.

Well I am highly disappointed. It appears as if they took no consideration into my order. First off I received the wrong color. The colour I received was more of a #2 not #1b. The thing was so BROWN that it couldnt be blended in my hair in no shape or form. Here a look and see ..

Urghhh!

What did I do you ask? I decided to contact the company because this was a major oversight. They first told me to send it back so they could exchange but that wasn't possible for me. I had it sent to my sister who was on vacation who then brought it home for me. I did this in efforts to escape pay $500+ (my currency) to customs since I would be importing. They seemed to have understood but I must have be wrong because "out of the blue" I stopped receiving emails from them. I waited a week and then prompted to email them again asking what's going on and why there was no reply to my email. The person said "Not sure why you feel we arent communicating with you I see a reply to all of your messages" When that certainly wast true! They HAD stop replying to my emails and if I never sent another there would not have been a reply.

When the communication started again she said that they wanted to send me a #2 closure but I didnt want that. Now after I replied to that email.. they have once again stopped replying to my email. So I am wondering why MHC is is not treating me as a customer so well? As someone who was anticipating their products after all the good things I heard from youtubers like ULOVEMEGZ. I mean not even like $10 back or 10% discount code on next purchase..nothing!.

I'm never buying anything from that site again as they have left a bad taste in my mouth. I am just annoyed right now. Afterall I paid my money and I should have gotten what I asked for and then to add no appropriate compensation was given. Now I just have to try to dye the clip ins to the color of my hair as accurately as possible but this means paying someone to do all this as I own no dye of my own. Smh...

Summer Protective Style :Havana Twists..

          So its Summer and its very hot...you;d think I'm accustomed to this kind of weather since I lived in the Caribbean all my life.. Lol. Anyway, I was about 8 weeks and had a lot of new growth and was completely fed up with dealing with my unruly hair! So after hours and hours of looking at ladies with this style on Youtube and Googling pictures I decided to get them done..


Here Comes the Havana Twists! 


All the videos I had seen the ladies had used Marley hair but I also heard that there's a hair called Havana hair that can be used so I settled on the Havana Hair. I bought 4 packs @ $12.99 per pack from www.fingercomber.com. My only problem was that the shades were limited so I had no choice but to purchase the Onyx color which is like a 1. Anyway, the shipping was fast seeing that I had it shipped tot he Caribbean. I was thinking I would have to wait like 3 weeks when it was 1. Major thumbs up!! :D 

I decided to give it a try and do them myself using the""Invisible root" method that I found from a lady on Youtube. Here's the Link. I have to say it was pretty easy ..Took me about 4 hours. At first I did them jumbo but after a few hours I didnt like how they look since I have a very small face. Just look weird! So I redid them and did them small by bursting down each twist in two. Now I LOVE em. And it only took me 2 packs and a bit from the 3rd.


Here's the out come!





Two weeks in and a wash




So thats it!.. Oh yeah, one minor thing.. because I bought the Onyx I forget that I had previous hennaed my hair like 2 weeks ago so I would have the reddish hue. Its apparent in the braids. Only when I step out in the sun its obvious. Nothing Major. 

Overall, I really like this style and I think I will keep them in for 2 maybe 3 more weeks with redoing if the need arises. Lol People have asked me "if that's my hair?".. Even with braids I still get that. That's all for now

Protective Styling: What should I do?

Protective Styling: What should I do?

So its Summer, well Hurricane Season for us folks who live in the Tropics and I feel protective styling-ish. I am getting bored and want to put my hair away from sometime (Tired of dealing with it/Bored) Afterall…Its Summer right! :D

I’ve been searching the internet for some time now looking for something to do with my hair and I think I’ve come up with the perfect solution. Havana Twists ..WHOOP!


I first fell in love with them with this picture I saw on the internet. 


I cant tell you where I found it, I just stumbled upon it one day. I was like “What hair is this! What style is this?” “I have got to get this done” Then I started doing more research and found out their name and what braiding hair it was. I know there’s some whole confused between what is Marley twist and Havana twist and the whole hair thing but I am gonna get Havana twist done with Havana hair.

So in about a couple weeks I’m going to get them done. I will be ordering the hair next week from FingerComber.com and installing them myself. They look pretty easy to do as I’ve seen several youtube videos on different methods. I’ll just do them on a weekend so that way I have plenty time to do them over and over if I don’t get them right at first.

My only thing is that I haven’t seen any relaxed ladies get them done only naturals, I’m starting to wonder if that is for a reason. Do they look awkward? Or don’t last long one relaxed ladies? What’s the deal folks?

Product review: Paul Mitchell Awaphui Wild Ginger Moisturing Lather Shampoo

Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Moisturizing Lather Shampoo





 What is it:
PM Wild Ginger is a sulphate free shampoo that works for any and all hair types.


Ingredient:
The key ingredients are Sodium cocoyl isothionate, awapuhi wild ginger extract, and keratin.


My assessment:
I absolutely LOVE this shampoo. It works so well on my relaxed Afro-Caribbean hair. I was once one of those people who thought those Caucasian branded products would work well for "black" hair but..Boy was I wrong. Lol. This shampoo cleanses my hair so well without drying it out. It always leaves my hair well condition and moisturized. Its an ultimate staple for me. 


However, I don't use this shampoo that often as the Paul Mitchell Super skinny shampoo is my regular. I use the two in rotation. With this shampoo, a little goes a long way.Man! Can this shampoo lather up One can use a little as a dime size and it lathers to shampoo the entire head. It is white in color and of a very creamy consistency. Sometimes if I'm not careful it slips through my fingers and falls to the floor before I start rubbign my hands together to lather . Its amazing! .. trust me and the smell is unbelievable too :D


I dont think I will ever sstop using this shampoo. I'm glad I decided to give it a try. It as worth the try. 


5 STARS all around! *****

A year's comparison...

A Year's Comparison

So on this 25th May 2013 I decided to look back on where I was and what I was doing then compared to now. I have changed so much about my routine from products and techniques and I know for a fact that this change has help me so much.


25th May 2012



25th May 2013..


Yes, its two different angles and the pictures are not clear. (I take pictures with my blackberry)but the difference it jumping at ya. Its so much more fuller and longer :) 

Between December 2012 to now I completely changed my whole routine

May 2012 December 2012                                                      December 2012-May 2013
  • Stretching relaxing (4-6mos)                                              Stretching relaxers (11-13 weeks)
  • Assortment of products                                                      One product line (Paul Mitchell)
  • Protective styling                                                                 Protective styling
  • Professional relaxers(Motions I think)                                   Self Relaxing (ORS relaxer)
  • Comb detangling everyday                                                   Finger Detangling ..Comb only wash-day
  • Taking multi-vitamins                                                             Never remember to take em and ran out
  • Oil Scalp with Gro-aut oil                                                      Oil scalp with Hair Trigger Elixir.

Out of all the things I did different I think the fact that I STOP stretching my relaxers so long. Doing this I know for a fact helped me retain so much length. Second I would give to the finger detangling. Puttting down the comb was one of the best thing I could have done. Why didnt I think of  it any sooner? Have no idea!

This time last year I was just achieving  SL  and around November that year I  had been a little beyond Full SL. I think I have a picture of where I was November 2012 right now. At this point when I relaxed the 23rd of that same month. This is when I changed my routine.
November 11th 2012


As for the difference in the scalp oil. I haven't used the hair trigger that much between my last stretch to know if it made a difference and/or to compare it to Gro-Aut. I'll try to use it this time around to make that assessment. I am proud of what I accomplished. It may not seem much to others since that's a whole year difference but to me who still didnt know what to do with my hair and how to treat it and finally knowing what my hair wants and the fact that I am such A SLOW grower..its a lot

Relaxer Update - 16th May 2013


Relaxer Update


decided to relax at 11 weeks post. Mainly because I couldn't deal with the two textures anymore and I was bored at home so just did it. This is my second time self-relaxing so I'm not really a 'Pro' at it yet. This time I got everything relaxed .. Lol the only exception is that I half did my front edges again all because of fear of completing burning them out. I really need to get over this fear. It doesn't look terrible tho.

Here's the outcome..



I would now OFFICIALLY consider myself Full APL . Its finally here whew!. God knows how hard I've been  working to get here lol :D. In the second picture you could see how not processedmy edges are lol.


Oh! This is after I had trimmed about 3/4 of an inch about 2 weeks ago. I am just loving my hair right now. You wouldn't believe all the crazy comments I get ranging from " Is that your hair?" "You're weave looks natural" and " That's not your hair right? stop playing"

I just laugh and take em as compliments and motivation that my hair is indeed growing and when I feel its not growing I just have these people to remind me that it is lol D:

BSL here I come!!

SkinTalk Series-- # 3

Let's Talk

So let's recap. I told you about my cleanser and my oil/night treatment/moisturizer all in one. Today I am going to talk about what I use as a Scrub..

Most people use St Ives Apricot scrub which I have tried which but never really did anything for me and I also tried Clean and Clear Blackhead Eraser which did nothing but give me tiny bumps all over my face whenever I would use it. So since store bought products always gave me trouble, I decided to go the all natural way :)

My Scrub of choice

Sugar scruub!


Ingredients
  • Sugar (Brown or white)
  • Olive oil
  • Honey
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Vanilla Extract**

Yup..Thats it! I just mix those ingredients together and I dont measure. Its just how long long I want it to last me whether a week or 2 weeks and I store in the fridge. I have an asterisk by vanilla extract because I do not always put it in. Only if I feel like it. I use this scrub three times a week which are Sunday's, Tuesday's and Friday's. So I just was my face let it dry and then use the scrub and then rinse with cold water.

Its been working fine for me. Its better than any other store bought product I have used. I will continue to use this for the rest of my life :D

SkintTalk Series - # 2

SkinTalk Series

So its episode two of my series where I talk about the products and/or techniques I've been using to help clear up my skin after my terrible acne breakout. The next product I will be talking about today  is my Emu Oil.

"Emu Oil is a naturally healing oil and is a white solid which melts between 18-22C becoming a pale golden liquid. Most people use Emu oil for muscle and joint problems and for nourishing and repairing damaged skin. Many people also use it for regenerating the scalp and hair.
Emu Oil can be used by people of all ages from the youngest to the most elderly. It is gentle enough to use on the most sensitive skin on a daily basis. Emu Oil is non-allergenic. It has been used by millions of people for many decades and no problems arising from its use have been reported." - http://www.emu-oil-well.co.uk/


My Assessment

First, the Emu oil that is pictured above is not the actual oil that I used. The one I have I bought it from Ebay.com and its not branded like something like "Swanson" or " "Homehealth". Its 100% pure emu oil. Oh man! I just remembered Im soon running out. Need to repurchase soon! >.<


I have to say I really love this oil. It has done great stuff for my skin by helping reducing the inflamation on my pimples and it has help reduced the appearance of some the dark marks left by the pimples (This along with another product that I will discuss)


How do I use it and when you may ask?


Since its an oil based product I can't use it in the day because I don't believe in wearing anything oily during the day, plus that's the time for Spf. However, if you are like that this products absorbs well enough into the skin to not make the skin look oily. Just as long as you dont use too much..A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY.


After I wash my face at night with my Simple Facial Gel (Oh my God! I could never get the name right lol).. I dry my face and then take one drop and massage that into one cheek. Then another drop on the other cheek and then one last drop that is divided up into my forehead and chin and mouth area. And that's it! Oh yeah, If its around my menstrual, after doing this I still apply some oil directly on whatever little pimples I may get. This helps to 'suck out' all that nasty stuff out the pimple and the size is either reduced incredibly or if I have been doing it for atleast 3 days the pimple is totally reduced. Yes! three days. Nothing works over night.. There's no miracle products



So thats it guys! Emu oil. I really like it. I has helped me so much. Helps reduce inflammation and reduce scars. Definitely try it out. Can be bought either on Ebay or Amazon

SkinTalk Series -#1

Introduction:

.... So from an earlier post if you read you would know that I had a skin break out that led to months on constant acne breakout which then resulted in tons of blackheads && dark spots. I had wanted to post the products,methods and techniques (As requested too) that I been utilizing to clear my skin once more. Yes it has been 7 months (started in Sept 4th 2012) since I have doing what I am doing and some of the dark spots have faded but some are still there. Personally, I know it will be a long process cause I huge hyperpigmentation issues.

What I will do is start a "SkinTalk" series where I talk about what I use. Mind you, this is my experience and what has worked for me. I cannot guarantee anything I use will work for you guys. Products work for different people and BELIEVE me it took me a long time to find the products that work for me.    Lets begin... :D



SkinTalk Series - #1

Cleanser
 
I have tried a series of cleansers ranging from Aveeno, Nuetrogena, raw Black Soap to Clean and Clear. Nothing had worked for me. Until one day I stumbled upon this commercial and I went "Hey, I should try SIMPLE!" It was worth the try anyway. Every since I have been in love. 

The fact that I have very sensitive skin was a bonus because the company boasts to the the "Sensitive skin experts" I am hooked and I'm never going back guys!


Simple:

"The Simple brand was born in the UK in 1960 and was the first to create a cleansing product with no perfume and no color. This unique positioning was designed to care for even the most sensitive skin, as these ingredients are common causes of skin irritation." Simple Website

1 ADDED VITAMIN 
   PRO-VITAMIN B5 known to help restore, soften and smooth 
My NO SOAP 
NON Drying 
NO DYES
NO ARTIFICIAL PERFUMES 
NO HARSH IRRITANTS to upset skin 

   Dermatologist tested 
   Noncomedogenic 
   Hypoallergenic



My assessment:

I really love this cleanser and its the only cleanser I will use until the end of time. No soap no perfumes, and hypoallergenic. Its perfect for me and my very very very sensitive skin. Its clear and the consistency is thick yet a bit runny..Does that make sense? Lol :P

A little goes a long way.. Literally, two drop the size of a lentil pea(Pea Size). It great with washing away make up too but I always wash my face twice just to be extra sure. My first 2 bottles/container whatever you want to call it lasted me 6 months.

I really love this cleanser. Give it a try if you have uber sensitive skin like me. I buy mine from Amazon.com. By the way, This is the only Simple product that I use. Later on into the series you will see why and what I substitute. Oh Yeah.. Strangely, their toner makes me break out :'( so on that note I do not use toner at all!.

I dont take 'CARE' of my hair

 This girl told me "You have such nice and long hair and you dont even take care of it"

.. As we say in the Caribbean, "Completely out a orda!"

So there is me at work, going about my business and doing "d people dem" work && and this co-worker of mine comes up to me- touches my head- and then has the audacity! to say "You have such nice and long hair and you don't even take care of them" What happen to this foolish girl eh?  

And you know what sparked this STATEMENT, this OPINION? ..Sigh Because I had my hair back in a bun which is my regular protective style.

Where does this person get off telling me that I dont care my hair because I have a tendency to wear my hair in buns. Geez..

This is a person who doesnt know what m&s-ing is or deep conditioning. And they are telling me.. Someone who massages the scalp frequently, washes once a week, m&&s every other day, eats healthy and drinks a lot of water. This coming from someone who drinks a soda at 9am. I cannot believe what I was hearing. All I could say was "Oh.."

I really didnt have a time to entertain that foolish question with an answer and work to do.. Gosh! The foolishness of people! Strupesss I tried so hard o hold back my tongue


Where I am at after 1 yr & 6 month of taking care of NL hair..Almost APL :)
After wash and dried with large rollers

Length Check Feb 26th 2013

Length Check


I did a length check back when I relaxed my hair in Late February. I'm just getting around to posting it. As for length checks I don't really favour doing them so much because I dont want to become all obsessive with it but once in a while I do get around doing it.

This time I used my length check T Shirt... Here's where I was at as of February 25th or 26th?? Uhh whenever..Lol! :)
Length just as is
Length pulled to longest point with hand.


COMPARED TO LAST CHECK

Length check Jan 31. -Pulled-


Length Check jan 31- Just as is-

So... This is where I was from last relaxer like 3 weeks ago. I would say I'm about grazing APL but from the second picture It seems as if I have passed it. I dont want to claim it so I probably wont for now. My has grown alot compared to when I just started. Believe me! Because I was one of those girls who was like "Maan, my hair is not growing and Im doing all this" Sometimes I even felt like I was doing it in vain. I dont think like that now. I know my hair is growing and all I have to do is be patient. 

Now I get all kind of comments on my hair like 

"I wish I had your hair"
"You hair is beautiful"
"Is that your real hair"
"Go take out those tracts you have in"

I honestly just laugh them off and they make me feel so proud that I am accomplishing what I set out to do.


Bye!

Self-relaxed for the first time

I am so proud of my self right now I dont even care that I burned myself in areas (tehee!)

For 2013 I really wanted to stop going to the salon to get my hair done so I decided to start relaxing my own hair and saving $120xcd that I could use for something else. So I upped and purchased my own sprush (TC2030) and all my goodies.

I have to say it wasnt an easy task and it took a while. What made it so difficult is that the week when  wanted to get my hair relaxed my hot water heater broke so I put it off for one week hoping we'd get it fix but that not possible right now (Gosh I hate repair men sometimes!). And I could take it anymore so me? I got my tubs and buckets of warm water prepared to wash out my relaxer and stuff. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do


1. The day before you oiled my scalp with coconut oil. I always did this when I would go to the salon to get my hair relaxed. Then on relaxer day I based my scalp with vaseline. Coated the length of my hair with Roux Porosity -> PM Detangler + PM Supercharged Moisturizer. Divided my hair in for sections and then each section into smaller parts to make the relaxer process easier and quicker. <-This was very helpful

2. Since I am first timer I decided to do the half and half method starting with the back section. Set the timer on my ipad for 20 mins. The back section-applying relaxer and smoothing- left me with 9 mins to spare on the timer . Washed out the relaxer and applied Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor for about 4 mins -> washed that out neutralized with ORS Creamy Poo. I must have gotten all that relaxer out cause I washed 3x to be extra sure and all three times the soap suds what white.

3. Stepped out the shower and did the same to the front section. This time I had about 8 mins remaining on the timer. Washed out the relaxer and did my mid protein step and then neutralized.

4. Washed my hair again with PM Wild ginger shampoo and then applied PM SS Daily Treatment for 5 mins and the DC with ORS Replenishing Conditioner w/heat for 30 mins under the dryer.

5. Finally rinsing that and being able to step out the shower I towel dried for 2 mins and applied DB Vanilla Delight Leave in and PM SS Serum. I decided to roller-set in jumbo roller and when I was fully dried I Applied Aphogee Green Tea Reconstructor and then saran wrapped for 10 minutes. Took that down M&S with DB Transitioning Creme and Grapeseed oil. Wrapped that back up and went to bed. Whew! I was tired >.>

6. When I was finished I think it was 11:20pm and I had work the next day so I was glad to go to bed.


My Assessment
   Honestly, I have to I am pretty proud of myself for my first time and the added pressure of the broken heater. I got nearly all the hair smooth bone straight except for an inch wide -finger long- area at the crown of my head that was under-processed. However, I really don't mind . I did burn myself at two points to both sides of my head but they are not a big deal. 

This is something I will DEFINITELY do again. This was my first time I would score myself 8.5/10 and you know there is always room for improvement so I will get better! :D

I dont have any pictures of the process cause I wanted to get it over with right away. But these are the results ->



RESULTS
Edges: Not so straight cause I forgot to smooth properly. -was jamming to Bruno Mars lol!

My Experience : Paul Mitchell Supercharged Moisturizer

PM Supercharged Moisturizer

In my latest post I talked about the new products that I purchased and I will be trying for the new year.  A reader was interested in purchasing one of the products as a DC and asked my to try it out that way and I did. Here's my assessment.



Product claims:
PM Supercharged Moisturizer is formulated with Panthenol, soy proteins and vitamin E provide added conditioning and protection and aloe, chamomile, rosemary and jojoba leave hair super shiny. This moisturizer provides an intense dose of moisture for dehydrated hair,boosts shine and improves elasticity and makes hair healthier and more manageable.


Price:
$12.38 USD/$33.64XCD
From Ebay.


My Experience:
Initially, I bought this product not as a DC but to coat the length of my hair while I am relaaxing. However, since a reader requested that I try it because they were seeking a PM DC .. I decided "Heck! Why not!" Lol. Anyway.. Satturday I washed instead I peproo my scalp and hair with HTGE for about to hours. I was cleaning my room so I dont remmeber exactly how long it took me could be more than two hrs. It was my day for hard protein (egg+ light protein conditioner) for 30 minutes. I have to say I dont hate it but I kind of dont like it. It did soften and made my hair manageable which is what I wanted since doing hard proteins leave my hair HARD. It wasnt that **OMG! my Hair is so soft hairorgasm kind of feeling** I think that can be blamed on the fact that I didnt use enough because I was so ready to get done with this hair washing business. Basically, It does what it says it will. I don't know about the added shine cause my hair is all shiny on its own. I will try it again though and see if it gives me that feeling :).. This time I'll use enough! haha.

Some of these products which are labelled staple are those that I absolutely loved and worked with my hair and I intend on continue using.

I kinda typo-ed in (is that a word?) in the previous post when I said I will be using PAUL MITCHELL only but clearly thats not directly true. Yes, Im using his shampoo and conditioner and that's what I meant. Something I've never done before (Using shappo and conditioner from the same line)

I really wanted to try Darcy Botancials and those two were recommended to me by another hair grower. So I'm giving them a try :)

Later on I will post how I intend on using these products.. my regimen.
