Hello my lovelies!!
Wow, can you believe it?? Easter has come and gone in a blink of an eye and due to the amount of rain we received, the Easter Egg Hunt at our Church was not the only event canceled this weekend.
In fact, today's baseball practice has also been cancelled. We experienced close to 4 inches of rain during the weekend, making Easter Sunday the wettest day in March for Savannah since March 5th, 1959!! Mother nature did not get the memo, "it is not supposed to rain on Easter Sunday"!!
Nevertheless, Ms. Bree's hair was perfect thanks to the products from Dark Lovely Au Naturale Moisture L.O.C. Line...
I purchased these items at my local hair store, every single product was $9.99 including the small bottle of oil. I highly recommend you shop around first. I wish I would have known, but Target has them at lower price!!
The Products I used are:
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
To keep her hair shiny, I used the Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Nourishing Shine Nectar 5.75 oz and I can use it as often as needed.
This time I did not used their Sulfate Free Cleansing Shampoo or the Deep Conditioning Delight. But I will use them in her next washing session and will be posting our review once we do.
Dark & Lovely Au Naturale Moisture L.O.C. line has been on the market for over a year. This is our second time using them and they did not disappoint me on either occassion.
Their entire line is infused with Coconut & Moringa Oils. While I'm very well acquainted with the use of coconut oil, this is the first time I use a product with Moringa Oils.
Moringa Oils comes from the seeds of Moringa Oleifera Tree. Want to know more? Read this article about the Benefits of Moringa Oil for Skin, Hair and Health.
DURING OUR FIRST TIME:
How I used these products:
I applied the Leave In Spray to freshly washed and detangled hair. I highly recommend working in small sections. Ms. Bree's Hair was divided into 8 sections.
After applying Leave In Spray, I applied the Soak It Up Oil Cocktail followed by the Lock It Up Sealing Cream.
As you can see on the picture above, I braided her hair instead of our usual Two Strand Twists.
After three days or so, I unraveled her braids and her "braid out" was amazing! "Full and Fluffy!"
The scent of these products are amazing and they all go very well together. The scent is not overpowering at all and it mellows out even more after a day or so.
SECOND TIME USE
a. Leave In Spray,
b. Soak It Up Oil Cocktail, and
c. Sealing It Up Cream
This time, Ms. Bree has two pony tails on the front and medium size box braids on the back. I styled Ms. Bree's hair on Friday and it still looked amazing on Sunday Morning. Even with all the rain and humidity, she had no "fly aways" or "frizz".
The "pros" of these products are:
*They can be found at many stores;
*They do exactly what they claim;
*The prices are not extremely high. They are a great alternative to any expensive hair product.
The cons... uhmm well, the only thing I COULD find that can pose as a problem, is that they are NOT all natural but they are the next best thing as a "all natural" product. I have not seen any signs of bumps, itchiness, flakiness, or product build up on her scalp.
Overall, I like these products, and while some of my favorite are highly priced, these will definitely work as an alternative for those "dry" days. (By dry days, I mean those days when we really don't have a lot of cash laying around to spend on hair products).
I am considering trying more products from this line like Coil Moisturizing Souffle and Easy Twist Gel N Butter.....
Have you tried any of these products? Give them a try and let us know your thoughts.
