The shrinkage is real!

Decided to see how long baby girl's curls are stretched out (left end curl)...I was shocked! Shrinkage is crazy 

"Olive oil girls' review

I found these while browsing the hair aisle at cub foods, smelled them and figured why not lol. They were about $5 each if I recall correctly...so far I'm very pleased with this purchase. The conditioner smells wonderful and it's super creamy!! It's a bit thin and runny but it worked well. I felt like I used a lot in 1 wash but it was only about an inch loss in the bottle so not bad. It provided some good slip which is a must for us...after washing and detangling her hair I ran the moisturizer thru her hair and did 2 french braids. It went thru her hair good and was nice and creamy too and smelled great! I left the braids in for a week and when I took then out her hair was so soft. I will for sure buy the moisturizer again, unsure about the conditioner since I have other favorites,  but I definitely recommend these products.

"Silken child" deep conditioner review

This product I found at sally's on a search for a nice cheap deep conditioner. It was about $3. I'm not set on buying it again but it does the job. The smell is decent, it had enough slip but could have been better. I used a lot in each section in order to detangle her hair. I'll give it ☆☆☆ cuz it works but I prefer aussie 3 minute miracle and macadamia deep mask over everything I've used so far!

"Dream kids" conditioner review

I found this at sally's for a few dollars and decided to give it a try based on price and smell...it smells awesome!! I was so excited to go home and try it out on baby girl's hair. Well, it didn't go as wonderfully as planned. It was not thick, creamy, or slippery.  I was so disappointed. I tried small sections and a hand full of conditioner and still nothing, there was no way her hair was getting detangled with this. Thank goodness I had bought a different brand as well to use. I'd guess it might work ok for loose, fine curls, but definitely not tight, thick ones. It's also a leave in, but I didn't even bother to try it that way. All in all, I'm not a fan.

"Totally twisted" review

In the past I've used herbal essence hello hydration and it did the job well. I recently seen they have one for curly hair and decided to give it a try as well. It was about $4 and works above and beyond pricey salon brand products! It provided loads of slip, which is a must in this household! It smells amazing and lasts after rinsing...it's a bit difficult to hold and squeeze out tho since it's so big and heavy, but I do have small hands as well, so it's probably not going to be a problem for everyone. This is probably going to be my new go to cheap conditioner, I have been on the hunt for a nice cheap one for a while now since we use so much I hate to spend over $5 on something that won't even last a month...so I'll say if you like hello hydration, I'll give a safe bet totally twisted will be amazing for you as well!

"Cara b" review!

I just purchased these last week to try on both kids hair and I LOVE! They ran about $10 each at Walgreens. They both have a similar light scent that I can't really describe, I'm not a real fan of it but it's not gross...the moisture cream was a bit heavy for my 9 month old but it worked very good! It was a bit light for my daughter's hair and wasn't the easiest to smooth thru her thick hair, but I'm willing to give it another shot lol. The moisture spray worked very good for keeping her styles moisturized! I'm glad I have an in store spray that I love now. Before we always used "bee mine juicy" but I hate waiting for it to arrive in the mail and paying for shipping on top of the already pricey product...I'm going to give these 2 Cara b products ☆☆☆☆! I see myself purchasing these again!

"As I am" review

I have tried their co-wash and loved it, so I decided to try another one of their products. I bought the leave in conditioner a couple months ago and it's about half gone but have still yet to decide if I'll buy it again or not. It smells amazing to me and detangles well, but it doesn't provide a whole lot of moisture for baby girl's hair. It does work well with a heavier moisturizer used with it tho. For a leave in it is a bit pricier, about $10 if I remember correctly. I'll give it ☆☆☆...it's not bad, just not my favorite. I'll add as well tho that my daughter's hair has different textures and curl patterns and it does work very good on the the hair around the outside of her head, which is silkier and 3c-4a curls (where as the middle of her hair is very thick and dry 4b-4c curls)

"It's a curl" review!

I purchased these 2 items a couple months ago for my little man, who is now 9 months old! His hair started curling at about 6 months old and getting a bit dry in the back so I decided to give these a try. I love that they both have a light, clean, baby scent. The shampoo gets a nice lather, which I like and it's also tear free (he doesn't sit still great so it definitely gets in his face and he has no problems). The moisturizer is a liquid,  which I wasn't expecting, but it's perfect for his hair. His curls are loose and very fine still so this works great for us. I give it ☆☆☆☆☆! We will be using these till his hair needs a bit more.

Zigzag protective style

Started with zigzag part down the middle of her head, then braided down sections and braided the loose ones together and binded in the back.  Quick, neat,  simple style :)
