AFRICAN THREADING

Over the weekend i finally succumbed and comb detangled my hair after constant finger detangling for almost 5 months. I was expecting two outcomes. One, either to loose a lot of hair and go crazy or to just comb out the shed hairs. Well, i was surprised nonetheless when i only eliminated just shed hair (yesss!!! i inspected it). Finger detangling can do no wrong as far as i am concerned. I dont even own a rat tail comb. I forgot to take pictures after i took down the threads. Soo sorry about that.

REVIEW OF HAITIAN BLACK CASTOR OIL: 1. DEEP CONDITIONER MIX

My first review of this oil from sheabutter cottage will be how I used it in my deep conditioning process and my results after it. My first thoughts of this oil were

• I love the packaging. The packaging (bottle) is rubber and so dropping it due to conditioner or hair product-slippery fingers is not a problem. You can easily pick it up right away if it falls. The labelling is also on point, easy to read and traceable right back to the manufacturer (sheabutter cottage). It provides a little background into the origin of the oil and instructions on how to use it. The smell of Haitian Black Castor Oil is similar to the regular JBCO (and am sure the same for castor oil in general except the scented ones).

HAITIAN BLACK CASTOR OIL

If you read some of my posts on Facebook, then you must know by now that I love love Castor oil specifically Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO). It’s simply my liquid gold in a bottle. I use it in several ways.

·         I massage my edges with it

·         I add few drops to my deep conditioner mixes

·         I use it as a hot oil treatment

·         I seal in moisture with this oil

This oil is simply amazing!!!!!!!

Some of the benefits of JBCO (and I tend to think castor oil in general) are

·         It thickens the hair

·         Grows out the edges

·         Softens the hair

Last weekend I was gifted a bottle of HAITIAN BLACK CASTOR OIL (HBCO) from sheabutter cottage (Thank you Mrs. Wood). 

Haitian Black Castor Oil.

The JBCO and HBCO are both castor oils from different countries, the first from JAMAICA and the latter from HAITI. I am not expecting vast differences between the two in terms of consistent and amazing results. I will have a pictorial post of all the various ways in which I plan to utilize this oil.

SHEABUTTER COTTAGES’ SANKOFA DAY MEETUP

Last weekend (5/04/2014) I attended the meet up organized by the founder of sheabutter cottage (Mrs. Akua Wood). If you couldn’t make it, then you missed out greatly. For me it wasn’t just about the products on display that caught my fancy. The highlight of my day was meeting all the lovely ladies (and yes there were a lot of natural haired beauties and some relaxed hair ladies too). I saw amazing products, hairstyles and great personalities. It was a pleasure meeting for the first time some of y’all who follow me on face book. Thank you.

 

Such an amazing view. I dare you to say natural aight beautiful
