**Style Watch** - Dry-Twist out

Salut tout le monde! :)

        It's been too long! I'm in my finals week so it's been very hectic for me, but i still found some time to do a hairstyle over the weekend that I'd like to share!

my lion has been tamed temporarily

Ok! So my twists look longer no? I blow-dried my hair! Due to a very unfortunate event that has left one of my fingers out of service, i could not pursue my hair routine with as much fervor as I've had in the past lol so I blow-dried my hair on low heat, sealed in that moisture with my shea butter/jojoba oil and mix and twisted about 15-20 twists and left it like so. I took it out for church, retwisted, took it down monday, and retwisted again. It's really simple, and doesn't take long at all. The significant difference I noticed is basically length, and the fact that my hair actually fell past my shoulder. Lovely experience, but can't wait to wet it again! Ciao!

Roxy's review:

I gotta say I do like this shampoo because the shine is INCREDIBLE. 

They are not kidding when they say it will make your hair shine. 

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a HUGE BUT!! 

Because this shampoo will leave your hair so light without any silicone weight-- you will experience the worst shrinkage of your LIFE! I don't really mind shrinkage too much; but if you do hate your shrinkage, this shampoo is NOT for you!! 

Great shine but it comes with the price of shrinkage. 

Have you tried it? What do you think of this product?

Much Afro Love,

Roxy

The Perfect Deep Conditioner for the Summer!

Hey natural beauties!! So sorry for not posting as often as I should! I have a LOT of new stuff coming, so check us out every week, we have so many new products to tell you of!


The summer is (practically) HERE!!! Yayy!! 
During the summer we are very exposed to chemicals from pools, intense sunlight (if you're here in florida!), the beach and sand!! It's a great time for us, but many times a rough time for our hair! I recently went to the beach and did this deep conditioner a couple of days before to make sure it was properly nourished. 


Note: This D.C will do it's magic on straight hair too, so if you don't have an afro, still go for it! Your hair will be thoroughly protected!!

Roxy's Super Summer Deep Conditioner:

*Olive Oil (2/3 of a cup)

*Honey (2 table spoons)

*Mayo (1/2 cup) --even more AWESOME if its made with Olive Oil!

*Olive Oil Replenishing Pak (1 pak is plenty)

*Hello Hydration Conditioner (a hand full) --or YOUR favorite conditioner! Whatever you love!

*2 eggs (both the yolk and the whites included)

Mix them all up together as much as you can until its blended. You might see some mayo clumps-- that's fine! But everything else needs to be properly blended.


Wash your hair as usual. Rinse out the shampoo, and carefully begin pouring the Deep Conditioner all over your hair. Not too much on your scalp, more towards the bottom half but spread it everywhere. Wash whatever fell on your body off, and place a shower cap over your hair. Wrap it with a towel or a bandana and leave in for about 1 hour (although I left mine in for two hours! However long you can leave it in is fine). Rinse it out well, apply your favorite conditioner again on your hair, detangle, rinse, and you are READY FOR THE BEACH FUN!!!! Both you and your hair will be STUNNING!

Have fun and take some pictures!!
