FRESHOLI Haul!

 

First time shopping with this vendor what made me decide to order was I have been searching for D-Panthenol for ages and Lola from Lolascrib told me about another site www.plushfolly.com and I was excited, but I did some more search and came across www.fresholi.co.uk And I spot the other hard to find item ‘Dark Virgin Cocoa Butter’. I ended up shopping at fresholi because the d-panthenol was cheaper and I got more for my money and I also wanted the Dark Cocoa Butter for my Rhassoul Clay mix ; )!

Darcy’s Botancials Coconut Lemongrass Transitioning Creme

 

Promises:  Our transitioning creme is a thick, rich and creamy leave-in that will IMAG1555help to condition, moisturize and detangle your hair's new growth to help soften & make it more manageable and healthy.
Our delicious moisturizing creme can also be used to do comb coils to help start dreads. I use it to do comb coils on my daughter's hair and on my own hair during my first attempt at starter dreads.
I hand whip a healthy dose of organic virgin coconut oil, organic aloe vera, and other natural conditioning & detangling ingredients.
No need to add additional fragrance. It's all natural aroma of fresh coconuts with a touch of lemongrass essential oil is simply delightful.
Our Coconut Lemongrass Creme can also double as a body lotion:)

 

Directions:  Apply just a small amount throughout wet or dry hair for healthy conditioning and moisture.
*Use to gently soften and detangle new growth while transitioning to natural hair .
*Use it as a daily or weekly leave-in to naturally condition dry curls & waves.
*Use to add much needed moisture to parched curls.
*Can use to do comb coils.

I love me some Camdengrey!

When I was in the US-of-A I made an order via camdengrey.com, the items are so reasonably priced and they are of excellent quality. I wished I order more butters as their quality are really good, unlike the quality I get from thesoapkitchen.co.uk. Their butters are just alright and the fact that the thesoapkitchen send their butters in plastic bag instead of jars/containers.

Anyways, here is my order from camdengrey.com

IMAG0762

HAUL above consist of the following

8oz Brazil Nut Butter
8oz Monoi Butter
8oz Hemp Seed Butter
8oz Almond Butter
5lb Rhassoul Clay
