Review: As I Am CoWash Cleansing Conditioner

 

I recently purchased the As I Am Cowash from Walmart a couple of weeks ago. During one of my wash day session I decided to use the product to see if my hair would feel any different from a regular wash and condition set. My thoughts are the product are as follows:

1. Product has a great smell.
2. Product is a great detangler because it provides a lot of slip
3. Product is an okay to use in between "major" wash days with actual shampoo. (meaning if you need a quick wash and you do not have a lot of build up of product on your hair and scalp then this is great product to use to help eliminate using a sulfate shampoo)
4. Hair retains a lot of moisture which makes your hair very soft to the touch.

Now this is my opinion if you do have a lot of build up of product on your hair and scalp then the As I Am CoWash is not the product that will help "clean" your hair. In fact any conditioner you decide to use as a co-wash will not "clean" your hair and scalp. Conditions were made to add moisture back into the hair not clean it like a shampoo. If you are looking to stay away from shampoos, or go a long period of time before washing your hair with a shampoo then it is best to get/use a natural product that will clean the scalp with harming the cuticles. The most common recipe out there is for the Apple Cider Vinegar mix. Remember a clean scalp with promote hair growth. Dirty clog pores are not good for healthy hair growth ladies. So please keep that in mind when it comes to Co-washing your hair.

Sorry about getting off subject everyone. In the end I would recommend this product to all of my naturalistas. Plus it is very affordable, a 16 oz. jar will run you between $6-8 bucks depending on where you go to pick it up. So check it out ladies and gentleman.

All Virgin Hair Boutique Review

This is long over due. But this is my review for the All Virgin Hair Boutique. Overall this was good quality hair for the price. Very affordable, hair was true to length and minimum shedding.

Specs:

Brazilian Body Wave

2- 24" inches

1-22" inch

1-20- inch

2- 18" inches

This was a full closure sew-in and I wore it for about a month and a half. The reason why I  used so many bundles is because the longer the length the less hair you get so with a full closure I needed more hair to get a more full look. I did not use all of the 2 bundles of 18". So technically I used like 5 1/2 bundles. If you are leaving some of your own hair out or even using a closure I believe 3-4 bundles will give you a nice full look.

More Protective Styling- Bun Life

Okay after watching plenty of YouTube videos I have decided to do a faux-bun using the Marley Braid hair. I think that this is a quick and easy protective style that literally takes 5 mins to achieve. When you are natural protective styling is key in order to retain length. The more your hair is exposed to the elements the more end knots and breakage you could encounter. So ladies protect those ends!! :-)

If you guys would like to see a video on how I achieved this look please let me know and I will do a tutorial. *hint* I used the Natural Sistas method on bunning my real hair underneath.
