Natural Hair: Night time routine and product review.





.....many waters cannot quench love, rivers cannot wash it away. if one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned- Solomon 8 vs7.



Hello guys, happy new year!!! I know I have been away for way too long. I really do owe you guys a lot of posts but been super lazyX_X.
 Okay, so I would love to share my night time routine with you guys, as well as review some amazing products. If you know me personally or follow me on any social network, you would realize I have been putting my hair in a puff lately..it's been my go to style. Super easy and stress free(post coming soon). Well, this is one of the ways in which I achieve it.
 My night time routine is really not a lot, it's basically just three products(or more) depending on the state of my hair..(I would explain).
So firstly, 1. It's time for bed and I can't sleep with my hair just like that because it would tangle with each other and be difficult to manage in the morning, although I must confess that sometimes i sleep in my puffs(when I am extra lazy), this doesn't make my hair dry or not manageable but I just like that extra freshness and softness in the morning plus my puff looks bigger. 1. I start by spraying my hair with the soft and beautiful(JUst for me) 2-in-1 conditioning detangler. I work this in sections(four sections). And then use my finger to detangle each section.

2. I add my aunt jackies "knot in my watch instant detangling therapy as I work my through the different sections" The just for me works great, but I feel when it is combined with the aunt jackies detangler, it leaves my hair so amazing!! Just like bread and butter..these two combinations do the magic for me.

 3. I may or may not use a comb at this point since finger detangling works for me..then I add the organics Shea butter and tea tree oil moisturizer to moisturize my hair. This step could be optional as the AUnt jackies detangling lotion is creamy and also doubles as a leave-in..but I have tried this and it leaves my hair really soft and amazing.

 4. I add my Africa's best herbal oil to my sections. I must say this oil is really amazing and my hair loves it. Just got this about two weeks ago and it has become a favorite. (The oil is to seal in the moisture)

 5. Lastly I add my okays mango butter to each section. I know almost every natural swears by Shea butter. I love me some shea butter too but don't judge me, I prefer this to Shea butter..it smells great, glides into the hair easily and does the Job. I sometimes mix this together with my Shea butter as sheabutter stretches my hair.
 6. At this stage, I am done rubbing things and then I put my hair in twists..probably 10-12 I guess never really counted or braids if I really want the hair stretched for the puff 7. I put on my satin bonnet, and I am off to bed.
             
                    NIGHT TIME ROUTINE EVERY OTHER NIGHT...
 Humm... okay, I don't moisturize every night..simply because with the above routine, my hair should stay moisturized for at least 2-3 days, and I really don't want moisture overload so my routine for nights I don't moisturize is different
 1. I spritz my hair with the detangling spray which is optional depending on if I have knots or tangles, sometimes I add Aunt Jackies detangler but really small because this on its own is moisturizing(other times I skip this step)
 2.i apply the oil to my hair or just to the tips and put on little of the mango butter. Twist my hair, put it in a satin bonnet and go to bed. Really simple and stressfree😊☺️

                            PRODUCT REVIEW!!!!
 Okay so now to the really interesting part, I would be reviewing some products for you guys today. Some of these I just bought, others I have had for a while but been too lazy(as usual😩😫😓)

 1. sOFT AND BEAUTIFUL JUST FOR ME 2-IN-1 CONDITIONING DETANGLER
. Well! Well! Well!!! What can I say??? Boy! I have been hooked. This detangling spray is really amazing. Easy to apply, you don't need to press or anything, just spritz baby..initially came with a cap on the head but I threw that away..nobody has time to be capping and recapping. It's safe like that still. Does this condition? Lol yes I guess so but I don't use this alone but it does make my hair soft. It smells great too, also beautiful and girly packaging which I am a sucker for😔😌😒

 2. AFRICA's BEST ULTIMATE HERBAL OIL
 Amazing itself in a bottle!!! This stuff does wonders. Smells great..my hair loves it. The products says it could be used as a hot oil treatment, as a hair oil, bath and body and for body massage. Lol nobody tryna get this for about 15ec and use it as a hot oil treatment(not me tho). Lol using this as a hair oil works just fine( I would stick to my conditioner and other oils for hot oil treatment).



 3.ORGANICS SHEA BUTTER AND TEA-TREe OIL MOISTURIZER: 
Love this! Really moisturizing and heavily creamy. Doesn't leave any white residue at initial application, doesn't flake or anything. It makes my hair super soft and manageable. I feel like I can DETANGLE with this as it has the same consistency with the Aunt JAckies detangling lotion haven't tried this as a DETANGLER yet, (so don't judge me). It is heavily water based, so yes! It does shrink the hair so I would advice this should be used after washing or before styling not when you want to moisturize in between a one week or three-day style. It would shrink it fan. oNe thing I really don't like about this product, after it is let to sit for a while, the oil would sink to the bottom of the bottle and you could see the demarcation between the oil and creamy product which I suppose is Shea butter. This can be easily fixed when you shake it tho, it just makes it look expired. But other than that, I love this product on my hair!!!. I use it as a leave-in


 4.oKAY 100% MANGO BUTTER :
Lol what can I say? This butter does wonders. It smells really great.adds shine and helps dull hair. It could also be used on the skin. I personally use this on my body at night sometimes. It also boasts of helping to heal sunburn.



 5. SHEA BUTTER MIRACLE MOISTURE INTENSE BUTtERY CREME HAIR
MOISTURIZER


. This product is really moisturizing. It has a really buttery and thick formula so I don't use this on my hair while it's wet. I love my leave-ins to be creamy and able to DETANGLE at the same time. Saves a lot of work that way. I use this on dry hair with no water. I massage this into my hair, a little goes a long way. It has a really strong fruity smell that I am not really a fan of. It makes my hair soft. It also says it is perfect for Transitioners

. 6.AUNT JACkIES CURLS AND COILS " KNOT ON MY WATCH " INSTANT DETANGLING THERAPY.


 Omg!!!! I can't say enough about this product.this is bae..I have tried almost all the products from Aunt Jackies hair line and I have had amazing results with all!! This would forever be a staple as long as I can get my hands on it. This stuff DETANGLES so well..I run my comb thru it and yes!!! Girl it glides through. I also noticed that it defines my curls. So it's really good for a wash and go(would try this soon). Really creamy and makes my hair super soft..and omg!! The smell??? It smells like ice cream..lol when I put this on I go around telling people to smell my hair and call me "ice cream baby hair" lol yass! It's that amazing.






 Thanks a lot for stopping by
Have a beautiful day:)
