~OMG...LIKE BUTTER... MY FIRST IMPRESSION ~....

Hey there Fellow Fabulous Naturals!

I just had to....just had to give you guys a quick first impression of Karen's body beautiful "Luscious locks hair mask".  Laaadies , let me tell you this stuff here is the truth indeed! (like no other I have used yet!!!!)

First, let me tell you as I was ordering this little number I was twitching in my seat as I placed my order . This has a pretty hefty price @ $25.00 dollars.  BUT, IT IS WORTH EVERY BROWN PENNY I SAVED (lol).  The only down side is that ordering from her site it's self takes a minute to receive I wasn't pleased about that at all. I feel if I'am spending 25.00 on a product I do not want to wait 5 days for it to ship.  But, I must say once it did I received it the very next day, and I have never received a product the next day after shipping, so that was a pleasant surprise. 



There are other places in which you can order the very same conditioner, I know curl mart carries it. The reason why normally I buy directly from the maker of the product is for freshness. Plus she has a few shipping options on her site ( Karen body beautiful) and one of them I believe is shipping for $ 2.95 , curl mart's shipping is $ 8.00 or close to it. 



Enough of that.... lets get onto my first impression:



THEY SAY ( TAKEN FROM THE SITE ITSELF)

The Luscious Locks Hair Mask is a wonderfully nutritious conditioning treatment that you can use as often as your hair needs it.

Conditioning doesn't get deeper than this because everything you need for your hair is in this jar.  Detangle, soften, strengthen, grow.  Saturate your strands with this rich blend of herbs like shikakai and rosemary which are known to promote hair growth, arnica and nettle to strengthen your hair follicles and aloe for much needed moisture.  It is called Luscious Locks for a reason.

INGREDIENTS:

Purified Water, Aloe Butter, Jojoba Oil, Agave, Vegetable Wax, Vegetable Glycerin, Aloe Vera Juice, Panthenol, Arnica, Calendula, Echinacea, Nettle & Horsetail Extracts, Carrot Seed Oil, Rosemary Essential Oil, Arnica, Shikakai & Amla Extracts, Vitamin E & Natural Enzymes.

I SAY:

I am so excited about this conditioner...it is FABULOUS!.  The very minute I applied this conditioner I was amazed as to how much slip it had. My hair was like silk, my curls was ...popping and this was just from application.  I sat under my steamer for 20 minutes and an additional 15 minutes out of the steamer.  Ladies, Once I rinsed the conditioner out of my hair...OMG....LIKE BUTTER !.  Silk paradise, my hair was and still is so soft that my hair is literally slipping out of my freaking fingers.

Let me add that normally I add honey,Aloe Vera juice and a bit of EVOO to my DC's . But, because I wanted the full effect of this product raw, I did not add anything. It test at a PH of 7 , which isn't bad at all .  It does not have a scent , it's consistency is creamy, but just not a thick creme.  My hair is suuuper moisturized....suuuuper soft, and it has a nice shine. I must repeat this..... my hair is so soft right now, I can not keep my hands out of my hair (lol) I am in shock. I keep looking at the jar like what the hell is in this (lol).

Will I purchase this product again, ....YES INDEED!. This is my now  holy grail DC and I have tried a few , those who follow me know I have raved about a few different DC's from different lines. But, NONE of those compares to this DC. I have found my holy grail DC, and really plan to look no further.  I am very pleased with this DC, and I must have this in my closet at all times. I plan to reorder again, but the bigger size so that I always have it in my home. YES....it's that good ( to me anyway):0)  

 Now that I know how fabulous this product is I don't mind waiting 5 days for it to ship.  Just as long as I have some in my possession before hand (lol). I do plan on trying the rest of her line with the exception of her shampoos and shampooo bars. She has a no- poo coming out as well as a new butter called "super duper butter " or something to that effect. I can't wait to try that.  Thus far Qhemet Biologics and Karen's body beautiful are my go to products. The  "Curls" line of  conditioners are following closing behind :0)

So there you have ladies my first impression of KBB's "luscious locks hair mask". 

 IF you haven't tried this product....treat your self to something special and pick up a jar...you won't regret it!

~ONE SERIOUS COMBINATION~....

Hey there Fabulous Fellow Naturals!


I hope everyone is doing well since my last visit here. Today I bring a serious "DIY" combo. I've been using this combo for sometime now, After reading a post from the fabulous Chocolate Orchid which you can Find here http://chocolateorchid.blogspot.com/  be sure to check her out :0). Where she shared a DIY she came up with and how pleased she was with her results.  So I thought great idea Why not share my latest  DIYcombo that I adore with my  AuNaturale readers.


After using my kiss my face upper management gel ( which I do love) but the problem with that gel was I wasn't getting 2nd or 3rd day hair.  I heard many great things about Eco styler gel "pink" so I went ahead and gave it a go ( not to mention It's super cheap and I can get it here on the ground).  One problem with this gel is that the ingredients are not natural , where as the ingredients in the Upper management were waaay better.  So here is where my experimenting with added ingredients came into play. I thought to myself  I will add a few of my favorite products to the gel in hopes of making it better and healthier for my hair.


Ladies, I am soooooo glad I did, I haven't looked back since...seriously.  I have honestly found my staple gel with no desire to look any further for another. So Here is what I add to my Eco styler 'pink"


1 oz of gel ( depending on how large of a batch you will be making)
2 Tablespoons of Aloe juice
2 teaspoons of jojoba oil
2 teaspoons of Castor oil
2-3 drops of peppermint EO (or EO of choice)


 Remember , You can modify this to your liking . This one works WONDERS for my curls. This  holds my curls for 2-3 days, if not more. Gives me shiny curls , well defined, great clumping, my hair has yet to feel dry or brittle after using this combo. Everything that I love and look for in a gel this has once I add my added ingredients.


If you look closely , some of you may notice its very similar to the leave- in mixture that Kim on YouTube uses. At one time I used her combo but with conditioner instead of gel and had great results ( I have since moved on from this conditioner recipe I've found a leave-in conditioner from Qhemet Biologics That I love even more ). Since I loved this combo with the conditioner I thought I would love it just as well but with gel.  And boy was I right...I plan to look no further!


So how About you ladies...Any fabulous "DIY's" lately? If so, do share


Thanks for stopping by ladies, and remember to stay....Naturally Fabulous!

~WHAT IS GUAR ? ~

Hello Ladies!

Before I began Is she a beauty or what!...ADORABLE!:))

Now on too todays post. I found an article on "Guar" I've seen this word in ingredient list on a few products. So when I came across this article I was pleased in now knowing a bit about "Guar". Below I will share some of what the article says along with the link:

WHAT IS GUAR?

Guar comes from the Guar plant which is called Cyamopis tetragonoiobus. This leguminous plant, cultivated in India and Pakista, usually comes in powder form and is used as a product thickener (similar to the role xanthan gum plays in hair products) and an *emulsifier for various types of cosmetic products. It is water-soluble and can mostly be found in shampoos and conditioning products. Guar is known to be beneficial to the hair as it serves as an effective conditioner and detangler, while promoting moisture and softness.

Guar can come in different forms and can be recognized by different names, so when looking for the ingredient in your products, be on the look out for its multiple alias’. Here are some you may want to take note of.

I found this pretty beneficial.  I like to know the names of  ingredients in products and what exactly they are used for. I hope this may help you ladies who may have been like myself in not knowing much about this ingredient.

~ ANOTHER WINNER FROM ...QHEMET BIOLOGICS~

Hey there Fabulous Fellow Naturals!

Today I bring you my finals thoughts on Qhemet Biologics " Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee".  First, let me start by saying I truly believe QB may have one of the BEST moisturizing lines out for Natural hair care, hand's down.  I have used and continue to use many of their products and their products ALWAYS leaves my hair super moisturized.  This conditioner I am speaking of today is the best leave in conditioner and now my holy grail leave in I have EVER used.  I plan to look no further for a leave in. Here's why:

They Say:

Our creamy, versatile conditioner nourishes, softens and detangles thick, dry hair.

Key Ingredients:

Contains organic, virgin Coconut Oil for lubricity, slip and emollience. Pure Moringa Oil for its smoothing and softening properties. Extracts of Oatstraw and Burdock for their scalp conditioning and soothing properties. Amla, Brahmi and Nettle for their hair conditioning, strengthening and growth properties and MSM for follicular health and nourishment.

• Does not contain mineral oil, lanolin, proteins, silicones, artificial fragrances, dyes or parabens.

I Say:

The ingredients alone is a winner for me!. Then there is the many uses and different ways the conditioner can be used. They list 5 alone on their website! I must say I have just used it as a leave-in ( which I love) and a refresher ( love that as well). I do plan to try it as a deep conditioner in which they advertise on their site, just to put it to the test ( stay tuned for the results). The scent is light and pleasant.  It's like a  thin creamy consistency . Veeery moisturizing, and leaves my hair very soft, with  a non greasy feeling.  And also helps in defining my curls. From my experience only a little is needed. I must say ladies I really...really like this product.  Will I repurchase this product...yes indeed!

For those ladies who have not tried this line I highly recommend , giving it a try. But, remember everyone's hair is different.  I have been using QB since my very first BC and each and every time I stray to use another product line.  I alllways find myself right back to QB!.

So there you have it, my final thoughts on Qhemet Biologics " Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee"

Have any of you ladies tried this product or this line. If so what were your thoughts?
