USED ON LITTLE B'S HAIR

BEFORE:

SHAMPOO:

Because his hair is so short, I really didn't need a lot of shampoo, a couple of pumps/squirts were enough.  I repeated the process twice because Little B went on a field trip and some how, a lot of things were in his hair.. ha! 

This shampoo reminds me of Kinky Curly Come Clean, it really DIDN'T strip his hair but you could tell that it was really cleaning his hair, like a good clarifying shampoo would do.

Great lather and very gentle in the little one's eyes.


CONDITIONER:

I applied the conditioner and massaged his scalp for about 5 minutes and then he played in the tub for approximately 15 min before rinsing the conditioner out. 

This conditioner worked great after Little B's shampooing.  His hair felt clean/clarified and the Conditioner just replenished the moister in his hair and then some, leaving his hair feeling silky soft. 

LEAVE IN CONDITIONER:

NOW, trust me when I saw, "a little goes a long way", so be very cautious as to how much you pump onto your palm.   

The Leave In Conditioner is very light and has a great slip, which I loved.  Two pumps was enough for his short hair.  

On the picture above you can see how shinny his hair looks. No need for a comb or pick, I only used my fingers to evenly distribute the product.

Little B. really liked these products, he said and I quote "smells nice and it doesn't pull my hair".. Basically the shampoo truly cleaned his hair and the conditioner instantly revived and moisturized his curls!  It almost felt like I had used a DC treatment instead of just a simple conditioner.

Little B is old enough to apply styling products by himself. He found it extremely easy to use the leave in conditioner.  This product was not thick so it was easy for him to apply evenly throughout his hair. 


My  husband put a "boys durag" over Little B's hair before he went to bed.

AFTER:  

 

Pictures speak a thousand words!! Little B's curls were more defined, the after pictures were taken after he had been playing outside after coming home from school!!  

Little B's hair was still "free of tangles", which is a plus for us because like every other boy, he hates combing his hair!  His hair felt a bit "thirsty", therefore I will add a bit more of the leave in conditioner before putting his Durag on at bedtime.  I will also spray some more of the  "Tangle Tamer" before he goes to school in the morning.  

Overall, the products are amazing and they worked fine for him. I loved how his curls were defined and "popping", specially around the hairline. 

STAY TUNED for Part II of this review, MS. BREE IS UP NEXT!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I hope everyone has an amazing and wonderful day! Relax and enjoy, we deserve to do absolutely NOTHING today!!.. 

Happy Mother's Day from all of us, Elena, Big B, Little B, Ms. Bree, and our amazing Admin. Kari Joseph & Family! 

Cute & Simple- a style for Mother's Day

This is a very cute and very simple style that your little one can rock this weekend!!  

How to get this look: 

Products used after washing her hair:

100% Coconut Oil / Castor Oil (Equal parts)

Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer

Banding Process:

I stretch Ms. Bree's hair by using several bands (i.e. small scrunchies, ouchless bands or cloth covered bands) at approximately 1/2 " to 1" apart. 

I choose banding in lieu of blow drying or flat ironing the hair because both will cause heat damage to the hair.

   

  

NOW WE ARE READY TO STYLE!

Products used to style:

Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer

Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste

Hair Tools you will need:

Wide Tooth Comb

Rat Tail Comb

10  Rubber Bands

1 Cloth cover band

3 Ouchless Hair bands/or rubber bands

5 Hair Pins

1 Flower Clip

*Remove all bands from each section;

  

* With your rat tail comb, part out a circle, clip the center hair so it is out of your way;

*On the bottom part of the circle, create five small box braids using a small amount of Bee Mine Curly Butter and Eco Styler Gel.

*Part the front section of the hair in the center;

*Part the left section in two equal parts and create two cornrows by using Bee Mine Curly Butter and Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control paste;

  

*Follow the same step above to do the right section.

*Collect the center section of the hair into a pony tail and secure it by using a cloth covered hair band;

*Slide the hair from the pony tail through your sock bun/foam bun;

*Cover the bun shaper with the pony tail hair as much as possible;

*once the bun is smooth apply the second hair band;

*Carefully bring all the hair toward the bottom of the bun;

*Create three braids using the loose ends of the bun.

*Bring the ends of all four cornrow braids around the bun and secure them with hair pins

The result:

************************* OUR REVIEW***************************

This review is so behind schedule so I apologize for that.  As all you of may know, we received this product from our newest sponsor, Honey Curls.  We are so thankful for the opportunity and even more excited to review this line.  

When I read the ingredients I noticed that this product is: 

* No SLS or ALS sulfates
* No petroleums
* No artificial colors
* No artificial fragrances
* No silicones
* No parabens
* No mineral oil
* No petroleums
* No artificial colors
* No artificial fragrances

After washing Ms. Bree's hair I applied the Honey Curls Honey Melody Deep Conditioner.  Now,  I was surprised by the consistency of it, its like a light yellow oil mix, I guess I'm used to using Bee Mine Deep Conditioner which is a creamy conditioner.  

Although the conditioner has no scent to it, it did not affect how well it worked on her hair!  Ms Bree's hair was shinny, soft and with very little frizz which made the detangling process an easy step.

The pump on the bottle was a nice touch, since after the first application my hands were all slippery, the pump was very convenient to finish conditioning her hair, and due to the amount of hair this little lady has, you can imagine how many times I had to go back and forth.   

Overall, this product is amazing! Yeah, it doesn't have a nice floral or fruity scent but don't let that turn you away from it.   

NOW, this is a protein free product so keep that in mind when doing your monthly deep conditioners.
