So lets talk hair ladies! I was like 7 years old, when my mother first relaxed my hair. Throughout my teenage years and adulthood I continued to do so every 4-6 months until about two years ago. My hair was beyond damaged from the relaxer, heat and strong chemicals I was using. It wasn't growing and I clearly needed to make a change.
I decided to stop relaxing my hair, reduce the amount of heat and change all the products I had been using for years. All in hopes to revitalize my natural curls. The transition has not been easy. I didn't have the courage to do the big chop and had to deal with the challenges of handling my hair in transition. Crazy extra curly roots, wavy center and straight brittle ends. The absolute worst! When I would straighten my hair, it would get frizzy and turn it to a puff ball with the slightest level of humidity. It wouldn't really curl either, so you ladies can imagine how real my struggle was.
Its taken two years for my curls to come back to life and for my hair to finally be on the healthier side. It’s also been a pricey journey trying to figure out what products really work for my hair. I wanted to avoid harsh chemical, heat and anything that would make my curls dry or crunchy. Nothing that I was trying was really a good fit.
I had read on a few hair blogs great things about Shea Moisture and on one of my many trips to Ulta Beauty I decided to buy their Coconut& Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Conditioner, Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk. Best decision I ever made! After buying so many different products, I have found the one that truly works wonders on my hair.
I shampoo, condition, and towel dry my hair. I then part it in about eight sections and message through each section with a dime size amount of the Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk. Depending if I'm running late somewhere or if I have a little more extra time I will bring out the blow dryer. I don't apply direct heat, just enough to dry my hair and give it a little volume. I feel it gives my curls great definition and shine. No dry, ashy or crunchy curls, just nice soft healthy ones.
I also bought their Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow & Restore Treatment Masque and Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen Grow & Restore Leave-In Conditioner which I use when I straighten my hair. It also works wonders! I hope this encourages one of you ladies to try Shea Moisture and too get amazing results!
