My REVIEW: First off I know the bottle is showing to be almost finish, but the truth is I didn’t use it to that level. A lot of it was accidentally spilled and I can not say I was sorry either >.< Anyway unto to the reviewing of this product………..This stuff is drrrrrrying, smh My hair was dry and straw like, this shampoo was what made me decide to think about how I shampoo and why is my hair dry and straw like. I then start to take a good look at the drying effect some shampoo can have on my hair.

From here on is when I realize I should and need to co-wash more than I shampoo, I also can get a away more often than I realize with also using mild/natural none SLS shampoo and only cleanse with SLS once in a blue moon lol Even though this shampoo had no SLS it gave me one of my most worst ever experience with shampoos which result in very dry, trashy, straw like hair.

It took me about 2-3 DC sessions and carefully moisturizing and sealing to bounce back to soft hair I am use to.

The rest of it I have been using to hand wash my satin head scarf and bonnet in the sink >.< this stuff is not going on my strand ever again.

The conditioners in this line is not bad >review here<

Curls UNLEASHED!

I am finally getting around to review the ‘Curls Unleash’ The Lavish Suite event that took place on the June 7th, 2012.

I know I’ve been slacking on my blogging lately, but i promise I will make it up to you Diary Readers. I have a quite bit in store you

I tell you those weeks in June are days and noughts to remember. That was the week of ‘Naturals Partying Hard’ LOL

I will say no more than the  UK Naturals sure know how to have fun….. They make the saying that ‘Blondes’ have all the fun – so not true……. As us kinky hair gyals show know how to party and enjoy our kinks, waves and coils.

Anyways let get talking about the event, the get-together for the event was held at ‘The Milk Bar@Grace’ at Piccadilly Circus there are two times for the kick off of the event, hey? LOL yes, the VIPS come at 6pm get their goody bags and relax in their and are treated to Bona Petite.

The VIP Suite

Then the general folks comes or are allowed in at 7pm. The Party Area and Dance Floor!

 

 

Earrings: Large Hoop/Dangly!

I have not posted in this section for a loooong time now lol It’s not that I don’t have anything to post……. Believe me when I say I have loads to post but I have been slacking on blogging and since it warming up here and all these natural events are kickin’ off. I find myself in the mood to blog and liven up my blog a lot more. I hope this lively blog feeling will remain when the fall and winter arrives!

So unto my collection………. These are really pretty dressy medium size hoop earrings with dangly hanging off them. I got these from one of my BHP (Black Hair Planet) members. We have a Secret Santa which have been running for the last 2 yrs and I took part last year December and these were among the goodies I got from my SS.

As you can tell, I have worn either of these to date as I have so many earrings. But again as I will be hitting a number of Natural Hair Events this summer. I am sure to be sporting a lot more of my collection.

The earring to the left are hoops with extra hoops added to give it that dangly design. It also has some tiny little diamante looking stones in the medium hoop all the way around. Really pretty and they are ever so light weight……. Which I am glad for as I don’t do heavy earrings to be honest. They are not good for the earlobe

 

 

 

 

 

The earring on the right are regular hoop type earrings, but with many smaller hoops and for leaves per the larger hoop is dangling. It is slightly weightier than the other to the left, but not by much, I can only tell when I held both in each hand.

They are so gorgeous, even more so than the picture shows, I am going to work on style my hair in such a way that both earring and hair will compliment each other to the fullest.

 

 

I hope you liked this earring review……… If so stay tune for my next share of fashion piece(s).

I so much reviews to post, next up maybe a an event review….stay tune.

Review: Kinkin’ it with the KINKS!

-

So today was the big day for the screening of ‘Kinkin it with the KINKS’. It was meant to kick off at 12pm but I did not get there until 2:15pm ‘black folks time’. When I got there, some of the ladies were already there and were having a chat with each other and GUESS who i finally manage to meet? Ms. Felicia Leatherwood. It was nice to meet her in person and she is as sweet and down to earth as everyone rightly said, she always has a smile on her face and in her eyes. She is not fazed by a thing, such a lover us the us young women and great speaker and a encourager………. such a lovely lady.
