Review: Reagan Sanai

I have seen these products "advertised" on a few Facebook groups I'm in and they always caught my eye but I was tired of buying products online all the time. Well I'm glad I caved and gave it a shot! I decided to purchase the moisturizing aloe hair mist and the mango butter soufflé. I started on freshly washed hair and applied the hair mist first (as directed). The smell is amazing to me! It's a light lemony citrus scent. It didn't scream moisture to me when I sprayed on her damp hair, but I proceeded. I followed with the soufflé, which has a weird but good scent to me. I'm not sure how to explain it, maybe a stronger version of the hair mist...anyways, it didn't look whipped to me as stated, it seemed hard. But it melted quickly into an oil once rubbed (as pictured). This also didn't seem moisturizing and has no slip. I continued anyway and twisted her whole head. Once finished I must say I love the outcome! Her hair is super soft and shiny! I am a bit sad I didn't buy the gel to put on after the soufflé, but that will probably be a later purchase when I get a bigger jar of soufflé....I had to test different amounts of the soufflé in each section till I found the right amount. The areas that had a bit too much got hard. I'm guessing from the coconut oil in the product. It all absorbed well tho and I can't wait to see how the moisture lasts once I take her hair down from her bun style. I plan on using the mist as a daily moisture spray as well...I have to say, so far this is a great product and I can't wait to try it out on my son! I love that it's all natural ingredients that I can read and know exactly what they are! I'm only going to give it 4 stars tho since I really do like products with slip, but other than that I have zero complaints and would highly recommend ☺

Twist bun

Twists on little man

So for fun the other night I decided to put twists in my son's hair to do a little overnight moisture lock...I usually had a hard time believing people when they say their curly haired child couldn't keep twists in....welllll, I apologize for my thoughts lol I feel the struggle now. I'm not planning on ever styling my son's hair in twists, but now I know that looser silky curls do have a hard time keeping twists. Lesson learned!

Update on shea moisture extra moisture detangler

So I finally tried on my daughter's a few days ago putting braids in. Her hair is still moisturized with no spray added! (I usually use a moisture spray every other night on her hair) Her ends aren't even that dry! Her hair is super shiny and moisturized! LOVE this product! I used along with my favorite Argan oil and it's a perfect combination. I will definitely be buying this again! It works great on both my kids hair and a little seems to go a long way so far 😄 I love that it has a light scent and smoothed thru her hair easily as well. I recommend everyone to try this product (if I didn't recommend in my last review already lol)

Review: Baby Bee multipurpose ointment

This product is great! Not too expensive and lasts a while. I use this on both my kids after their baths/before bed and it keeps their skin so soft! It's gentle enough to use on their eczema and dry skin. My daughter gets really bad eczema on the back of her thighs and extremely dry hands that are red and crack. This product doesn't sting her sore skin at all! She uses it on her hands overnight and in the morning they are very close to healed. For both my kids it absorbs overnight and leaves their skin soft and moisturized in the morning. When they don't have irritated skin I'll mix it with some lotion just so it spreads a bit easier and lasts longer. It can seem quite thick to spread alone if you don't use alot....I wish I found this product when my daughter was a baby or when my son was younger, I just found it a couple months ago. I love it and clearly need to buy more lol. I give it 5 stars and recommend this to people of all ages and skin types.

Review: Honest Company

Ok so it's not a hair product review, but I absolutely love these products! I have personally bought/tried the diaper rash cream, diaper area spray, body oil and wipes. The rash cream is amazing! I will never buy any other brand, it works so well. My son is 2 and rarely gets diaper rash, but when he does its pretty bad and this cream takes care of it over night! The spray works well for those extra stinky diapers or a dried on mess. I just spray a couple shots of this and it makes for easy clean up and a fresh bottom! The wipes I just recently tried since I had a coupon on cartwheel (the price was a bit high for my usual purchase). One of my best wipe purchases ever! Super thick, your fingers won't poke thru or feel like any mess will absorb thru onto you. Very gentle for my son's extra sensitive skin (he breaks out easily and gets bad eczema). The only draw back is the package opening, the flip part has ripped twice on me, so I have to not fold it back as far and it's fine...I just bought the oil today since the store didn't have our original cream (next review!). I used one pump of baby lotion and 3 pumps of oil...this is that stuff!! It mixed well with the lotion and ran so smooth on my son's skin, and now it's been about 20 mins since I put it on him and it's absorbed well and his skin is so soft! This may replace our other cream since it's absorbs quickly. Or it may be our morning routine and our other cream can stay our night/after shower routine...in the past I have bought the conditioner and it worked well, but it's just a bit too expensive and not enough in a bottle to be worth the continual purchase with how much we use in one wash....I have used the diapers on children other than my own (I work at a daycare). They work well but I would never personally buy them since I have other brands I prefer that work better. The diapers are cute but feel a bit hard for my liking...the products in the picture that I have now I give FIVE stars! They are pricey but we'll worth the money!

Review: Camille Rose moisture milk

I have used this on both my son and daughter's hair....I have to start with the scent, it smells like vanilla frosting/cake heaven! So that sold me on buying it in the first place lol...it's used this on my son after detangling with curls leave in detangler and his curls were like bath fresh all day! Usually his hair fro's out once his hair dries, but this kept his curls tight and slightly wet looking all day (not sure if that had to do with the detangler as well tho)...for my daughter I have only used it on her ends nightly after spraying with carols daughter black vanilla leave in conditioner. I spray her hair, apply the moisture milk and then twist loose ends. Her ends were so soft once dried all thru the day! After her next wash I'm going to try on her whole head. So far it works great as I've tried already...I would definitely recommend giving this product a try for any hair type!

Review: As I am double butter cream

I used this when banding my daughter's hair 4 nights ago along with Argan oil...I've styled a couple times since and again tonight. Her hair is still moisturized! I had to moisturize her ends 2 other nights cuz they get so dry, but that's life lol...I used to buy "bee mine" products, and specifically loved the luscious moisture cream, and I have to say this compares quite well to it. It's thick but absorbs into her hair, where most thick creams sit on top of her hair. The smell is good, kind of a sweet scent. The price is outrageous to me, I got the 8oz for $12-$15 if I remember correctly. But I'll probably end up buying the larger jar for over $20 since it works so well with her hair and a little seems to go a long way. I have not tried this on my son yet since his hair does well with just a leave in conditioner...so for use on my daughter's hair I'll have to give this product 2 thumbs up 👍👍 it's great! If you're looking for a product to lock in moisture, specifically on low porosity type 4 hair, I'd recommend giving this a try!
