Big price and Name does not mean Quality or Better!!

Hey ladies,

As you know I have been busy trying out new products to compare and contrast. I recently tried out two new conditioners - Matrix Biolage conditioning balm ($32.00) and Lustrasilk Shea Butter Ultra Cholesterol conditioner ($2.99-3.99).

I have to admit both are great conditioners but for my hair if I had to choose the better conditioner I would choose the Lustrasilk because as many of you know the secret to detangling natural hair is a conditioner with great slip.

While using the Lustrasilk I for the first time in a while discovered it had just the right kind of slip my hair needed and left my hair still feeling very good and moisturized.

But there are pros to this situation so you see I have two conditioners one for detangling and then the other. You ask what can I do with a whole jar of expensive conditioner? Some may even think what a waste of money? I have decided I can use the expensive conditoner for my cowashes and use the Lustra silk for detangling problem solved.

Ladies I said this to say becareful when buying or selecting your products because sometimes the not so expensive brands offer more and you get more product. Now I would encourage you to use your own judgment in making purchase because its still not safe to safe cheap is better but in this lessoned I learned that a $2.99-3.99 conditioner is just as good as a $32.00 conditioner.

Product review*****

Hey Ladies!!!!!!


First and foremost I have to apologize for being away too long. I appreciate all the love and support. I am back with a great product review and some awesome pics!!! By the way Happy Nine Months Natural to me!!

 So recently I graduated with my Masters degree and a curl friend gifted me with the new Shea Moisture Cocunut Hibiscus line because she had heard me mention my intent to try it out. Below are the results of this product tell me what you think??

 Steps to style-

1. I first shampood my hair
2. I added a protein deep conditioner with a cocunut for about 20 mins no heat added.

3. I sprayed my hair with my water spritz for moisture and oils (bottled water, extra virgin olive oil, vegetable glygerin, rosemary oil, lavender oil).

4. I added the cocunut&hibicus hair milk and parted my hair off into sections now its time for the real fun lol

5. I sectioned my hair off and applied the hair milk I begin rubbing the cocunut&hibiscus curl scouffle throughout sections of my hair rubbing and lightly pulling it up and down my strands of hair until I saw curl definition.

6.  I also added a little Eco-Olive oil gel to this to get that ultimate curl.

**Note*** The curling scouffle if very concentrated so you do not need very much***

After letting my hair air dry and using a cold shot hair dryer I had shiny, mosturized and soft head of curls that everybody wanted to touch lol!!

I have to admit I was nervous at first because this was a switch from my regime but I love love the results and I reccomend it see pics below :-)
