My Opinion:
I bought this shampoo on a whim and I pretty much regret it, I was initially on the look out for a new shampoo like my Shea moisture retention shampoo but with a cheaper price tag, however I was unsuccessful. The only reason why I bought this shampoo was because of its size and the price (which was £9.99), I was also hoping that it would help with some of my scalp issues.

The 1st time I used this shampoo I had done a pre poo before, however after washing my hair with this shampoo, my hair felt squeaky clean and a little bit tangled, I have said in previous reviews that I like to be able to run my fingers through my hair, this is my own way of determining how moisturising a shampoo is. however I did not get this with this shampoo. Instead my hair was left feeling dry and tangled even though this shampoo claims to be ultra hydrating, I have used this shampoo twice after and have gotten the same results.

I will not be purchasing this again. 








I don't want to be a product junkie.


After watching a youtube video on how not be a product junkie, I decided to go through my product stash and made the decision to start getting rid of the products I don't use. The picture above is some of the products I decided to throw out, some of them were nearly empty so it made it easier for me to get rid of them. 

Protective Style : Box Braids

After 2 weeks of wearing my wig whilst on holiday I decided I wanted a change. I was in Nigeria on holiday and contemplating getting braids however I didn't want to suffer a set back due to tight braids and decided to do them myself. 












I parted my hair into 3 sections started from the back of my hair working my way to the front. Altogether it took me about 6 hours to complete everything.


I'm hoping to keep these braids in for at least 4 weeks.

Wash Day.

Pre shampoo: applied coconut oil to my hair and braided it up. Left it for 20 mins under a plastic cap.

Co wash: Pantene Naturals co wash cleansing conditioner.

Protein Treatment: applied Aphogee's 2 min reconstructor on my hair and let it sit for 5 mins.

Deep Conditioned: applied my trusty Aunt Jackie's in control conditioner and left it in my hair for 1 hour.

Air Dried: wrapped a towel around my head followed by a t-shirt and let it soak up the water. 

Styling: once my hair was partially dry I applied my African pride leave in and sealed with coconut oil and detangled. I did a small part down the centre of my hair and brushed my hair into a loose bun, wrapped a scarf around my hair and air dried over night.

Today's wash day was a good one however whilst I was co-washing my hair I noticed ALOT OF SHEDDING which made me very nervous. On my next wash day I will defiantly being doing a tea rinse.
