Product review: AfroShe® hair products

Hair-lo lovelies!

It's 4 weeks until Christmas!! Seems like it has come early for my hair as I got to know of another Australian-based hair product line!

AfroShe® is an all natural, handmade, chemical-free hair and skin care line that is based in Melbourne (Australia). The product line is suitable for babies to adults and all hair types including Afro and Caucasian hair. Since I am more interested in hair care than skin care, I sampled a combo of their hair product line in a typical wash day and styling and these are my results.


AfroShe® Detangler Cleanser Conditioner- with coconut and avocado oil.
This product was great in making my hair soft and easy to detangle. I loved how it had avocado oil and vitamin E oil (among other ingredients) as these are staples in the products that I already use. I sectioned my hair and applied the conditioner before finger detangling. I followed through with a wide-toothed comb and then twisted the section before working on the next. I rinsed it out and proceeded to style my hair.

Styling
For my leave-in, I used the AfroShe® Hair Spritz with the sweet orange oil scent. Jojoba oil and aloe vera are amongst the great ingredients in this product. The spray bottle makes it easy to apply and this is a plus if your hair is braided. I sealed in the moisture with the AfroShe® Hair Butter with the sweet orange oil scent. Organic coconut butter, shea butter, and castor oil are some of the ingredients in this butter. This butter literally melted in my hands when I rubbed it against my palms.  My hair felt so soft after application. I did work in the product a bit by smoothing my hands along the strands as I identify with low porosity. By doing this, my body heat helped the product to be absorbed into my hair strands.


Look at that shine!! Results from
the flexi rod set.
I stretched my hair using flexi rods and let it dry overnight. (That is a blog for another time). When I took down the flexi rods, my hair was soft and shiny. My hair loves shea butter so it definitely loved the texture of the hair butter. The scent of both the spritz and the butter was amazing and it wasn't overpowering but just enough to leave your hair smelling great.

I also used the spritz and the butter on my friend's hair which hadn't been detangled. I sprayed the spritz first then sealed with the butter before detangling it and doing flat twists. 3 days later she had a bomb twist out.

Now, I usually make my own DIY leave-in spritz and shea butter mix but these products definitely sold it for me. For a full description of the product line, please visit www.afroshe.com or visit her page @afroshe1 on Instagram. You can also visit her youtube channel, AfroShe, to see the results of how she uses the products on different hair types. The products also come in different sizes so you could get a sample size to try out the products for yourself.

Any comments and questions are welcome.

Take care!

Mini braids: Installation and maintenance

Image
Hey lovelies! In my hair journey, I have noticed that my hair responds well when I keep my hands out of it. I have tried braids and twists with extensions but my favourite protective style is mini twists. But because mini twists are easy to install and take down, I always find myself unravelling one to check on the length, which is counterproductive. However, that is a subject of another blog post :) So, after doing some research, I decided to try mini braids just with my hair. My experience is probably somewhat similar to what other naturals have experienced so the pros and cons may tend to be the same. I have had them in for 5 weeks now and hope to keep them for longer. I have noticed a bit of growth at the roots. I will measure the growth when I finally take them down. Installation and maintenance: I braided my hair from the roots till about 1 inch from the ends. I then twisted the rest of the length for easier take down (I don't wanna lose my ends!). It is still ok if ...

Product review: MoistureLover hair product line

Image
Hey y'all, Hope you are keeping well :) As most naturals in Australia can testify, it's hard to find products suitable for our hair here. The big brand names are mostly limited to America and shipping is very expensive when one decides to buy these products. So I was pleased to know of a health-conscious hair care line based in Melbourne, Australia so of course I had to try the range. MoistureLover products are plant-based and the founder is a biotechnologist. This is how I used the products on a typical washday after having clarified my hair with a shampoo. The MoistureLover range Deep conditioner This product contains vitamin e, castor oil and wheat germ protein. As I identify with low porosity, I wore a plastic cap and a heated cap for 30mins to help the product penetrate my hair. After washing it out, my hair felt a bit dryer than the other times I deep condition with my usual concoction. However, I put this down to the wheat germ protein as I've...

Results:-.6 Months Protective Style Challenge

Image
 Hey friend, Would you believe 6months have passed and the challenge has ended? Me neither!! It felt soo long but it also flew by!!  Would you also believe me when I tell you that I didn't do any length measurements before the challenge? Yep! So what was the point, you may ask. Well, I embarked on the challenge to give my hair some time to get healthy, not necessarily for the length. My edges needed some TLC also.  I enjoyed challenging myself to keep my hands out of my hair, using minimal products and find a protective style that I can always go for. I did medium braids, yarn locs, mini braids, mini twists, African threading, flat twists and loved the versatility and time I reclaimed during the challenge.  I also kept my regimen simple by shampooing, conditioning and using either mousse or cream as my styler. That's it! I  also didn't touch or manipulate my edges unless it was washday. However, after recreating my go-to wash-and-go ponytail, I noticed that my h...
