A Twist in Delay

So instead of doing my first review on the DevaCare products I decided to put my twists in. I found a few weeks ago that after leaving in my two strand twists for a week I had a lot less shedding and tangles; even after a week had already passed with my hair out. I really wanted to try the Deva Care products this weekend, but right now I'm really concentrating on my hairs growth and health rather than style. I've been using my MegaTek blend and have noticed a significant amount of growth, but instead of talking about it I'd rather show my results when it's time. But anyways, back to my original thought.

My twists, the last time I decided to put my twists in I wanted to use the Hairveda Green Tea Butter as a styling and moisturising agent. The twists were pretty soft going in but the moisture didn't really last. I also noticed that I didn't have a lot of shine and my twists didn't feel as smooth. This time around I decided to use Cantu Shea Butter Leave-in and Hairveda Whipped Clouds. I wasn't sure how I was going to use the Whipped Clouds because it never worked with my slick backs or wash n go styles. Luckily, I saw a major difference when I added this to my twist routine. It had major shine and my hair felt incredibly soft. I have some pictures that I'd like to show but can't seem to find my cord but when I do, I will definitely show my results.

New Buys

So this will be my introduction entry.

Today I went out to the Ulta store in Cerritos and purchased the DevaCare One Condition and DevaCurl Set It Free. I have been reading raves about this product for almost a year now and I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase it. The SIF was $17.95 in the store rather than $7.95 like I had planned on purchasing from curlmart.com, so I was a bit suprised but I decided that I need to try it out and not feel like I wasted 30-40 minutes of driving. I plan on using both of these products in the next couple of days and reviewing them(My FIRST Review!). We'll see if it's truely what it's cracked up to be.

I also went to the Indian Markets and purchased some more 200mg of Hesh Amla powder, Vatika oil and Shikakai Oil. About a year ago I had started the Ayurvedic hair care regimen, but I stopped due to transportation and time issues. I will be switching off with the Vatika, Coconut, Grapeseed & Ylang Ylang, and Shikakai oil, if I like it. I just recently tried the grapeseed and ylang ylang mix, have no really feeling about it just yet but I'll monitor my results as I go.

Now, enough hair stuff on to my other purchases. I was able to find two really cute scarfs that I will be using as headwraps when the weather gets hotter and I get lazier. I'll have pictures of me wearing those aswell. Well that's all I have for today, wore a twist-out-gone-wrong today but I worked with it. Until next time.

Peace,
