Well, I don't have one; I'm just a product junkie. There are a lot of disparaging connotations that come with being a product junkie....yet I don't see a problem with it.
In any case, I hauled in a lot of products that I've been longing to try for a while. More of the Curl Junkie line; Anita Grant products from the UK; and Curls.
Curl Junkie is a natural hair product line started in Brooklyn, NY by Marsha Coulton. As pictured, I have most of her products-and when money's looking good again after my new pair of glasses and my laptop, I'll be purchasing the remaining few. For the most part, I'm pleased with the products I've purchased and they give my hair what it's been yearning for: moisture. Most of the products' consistencies are nice and thick, and great scents in addition to their effectiveness. Curl Junkie's an invaluable part to my hair care regimen and I'll be undoubtedly making another haul. For more info, visit here. It'll break the bank a little but it's more than worth every penny.
Curls is a product line designated for women with multi-racial/biracial curly hair; as well as women with african-american or afro-carribean textured hair. Curls was created and founded by Mahisha Dellinger, who is also multi-racial. Pictured are: Coconut Sublime Conditioner (Left), Curls Milkshake (Right) and Whipped Cream (Center). There is also a shampoo and a clarifying shapoo as well as 3 other styling products and a sprtiz moisturizer...yet I'll purchase those another time. Curls consistencies vary from thick to creamy or milky and they smell delicious. I've only used each product about twice since they were delivered to me Saturday and results were passable. All the same, with Curls I'm presuming results will be more favorable if the entire system is used. At a later date, I'll purchase the calirfyer, shampoo, moisturizer and maybe the Curls Souffle' styler. For now, I'll continue using the awesome conditioner and the whipped cream or milkshake as an occasional leave-in. For more info, visit here .Affordable and free shipping on orders $50 or over.Note: Before buying any CURLS products, please assess your hair type throughly and refer to the hair type chart on the site. Although CURLS products is for every hair type and texture, different methods, products and overall application differs amongst hair types. Do not go out on a whim and buy just any product or apply it any way, especially if your hair leans more to 3c-4b (kinky-curly/kinky). You will, more or less, wind up looking a hot mess.
Anita Grant is a product line business started in the UK by Anita Grant. Her products are aimed towards all afro and curly hair textures; with a selection spanning from butters and creams for the hair to oils and clays for the skin and face. Pictured is the Creamy Cafe Latte curl cream (Left) and the Kelp and Ylang Ylang shampoo bar (Right). I also ordered bentonite clay and rhassoul cubes in succession but they haven't arrived yet, coming from the UK. I'll feature them in a future blog. Anita Grant customer service is great and the consistency of the Creamy Cafe Latte is smooth and buttery and the smell made me almost want to eat it. Moreover, it made my hair so soft that I could not stop touching it last night, heh. I haven't tried the Ylang Ylang bar, since it arrived just yesterday (and I shampooed Sunday already) but I will, most likely next month. Later, I plan to purchase another Ylang Ylang 'poo bar, more rhassoul cubes (for deep conditioning), another cafe latte and probably her amla 'poo bar. Prices are in British Pounds so it's best to use the currency converter if you're in the U.S. Don't expect prompt delivery: it is coming from England, after all. For more info, visit: Here.Note: Prices are in British Pounds so it's best to use the currency converter if you're unfamiliar with the pound. You will be billed and charged a couple days after your transaction; but your products may take up to 2-4 weeks, even an entire month to arrive. Anita's products tend to run a little smaller (3.5-5 ounces, as opposed to standard 8-16 oz sizes) so it's advisable to overlook the sample sizes if you live in the States and want to try her products.
Is my PJism a problem? As far as I see it...no. After going natural 3 months ago, I've realized to ultimately find something great for my hair is to use trial and error. Few products have not worked on my hair and many have benefitted my hair. After all...don't you want yours to be at its best?
