Product Review! - Beija Flor Naturals Creme Brûlée


Product Claims: This product is for the happy and nappy, cute and coily, wild and wavy, kinky, curly...well you get the picture! No matter what your ethnic background, if the hair that sits on top of your head can be described as such you know that highly textured hair in all its glory tends to be dry, brittle and prone to breakage.

Our Creme Brulee is an everyday leave-in moisturizer with ingredients hand selected for beautiful healthy hair. The formula starts with an infusion of healing herbs such as rosemary, burdock and Marshmallow root. Murumuru Butter, Aloe butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Grapeseed oil add shine, moisture and protection.
In total, an infusion of 13 premium natural ingredients create a light cream texture that is perfect for all natural hair types. When used on wet or dry hair, the Creme Brulee can actually change the texture of your hair from straw to silk making it soft and manageable. 
Ingredients: Herbal Complex (Nettle, Burdock, Marshmallow Root, Rosemary), Organic Shea Butter, Aloe Butter, MuruMuru Butter, Organic Aloe Vera Extract, Grapeseed Oil, Coconut Oil, Vegetable Emulsifier, Stearic Acid, Xanthum, Vitamin E Paraben Free preservative, Fragrance.

Review: All I have to say is....this leave-in is a staple. It shall stick with me as long as they continue to ship it to my house. It smells like heaven came down and settled right in my hair. Seriously, when I first used it the person who did my hair kept sniffing it lol don't get me started on literally walking past people and having them break their necks to ask who smells so good!? The consistency in this product is AMAZING. Every use has been a one hit wonder. Since I've used it, my twists are fluffy, outrageously well defined, and they stay moisturized for SUCH a long time. So this will be with me for the long run. And just remember, if something works, stick with it. Don't fix what's not broken, and trust me, creme brûlée isn't going ANYWHERE ;)

OMA Man of the Month: Curtis!!

Curtis, 20


1.) First off, are you aware of anything that has to do with natural hair? [Dated any girls with natural hair? Have family that rock their natural hair or avoid it?]
Ive dated girls wit natural hair but nobody in my family Rocks natural hair

2.) So, how do you feel about a girl with an afro?
Some women can pull it off but not all. [Would an afro stop you from dating a girl?] No, I find it very attractive on most females. I guess it depends on the female

3.) What are you attracted to, mainly physically, in a girl?
How she dresses, her smile & body

4.) How do you feel about girls with weave?
I don't mind it as long as its neat & looks nice on them

5.) Would you prefer to run your fingers through your girl's hair or grab it?
Freaky haha but I would say both, depending in how I'm feeling that day haha

6.) What matters most, how her hair smells or how her hair feels?
haha I'm gonna say smells because I wouldn't want to be with someone all the time & they smell

7.) How do you feel about girls who go bald for the sake of being natural?
I feel like not all women can go bald for the simple reason that not all women have the head for it

8.) How do you feel about a girl who has extremely kinky hair versus a girl with loose curls.
I prefer loose curls over kinky because to me it jus looks better

9.) Would you prefer an extreme amount of hairstyles or the same two or three hairstyles all the time?
I would prefer the same 2 or 3

10.) How do you feel about color?
I don't really like color

11.) If your girlfriend is thinking about going natural would you encourage or discourage it? Big chop, slow transition, or weave?
I would encourage her & you gotta explain those to me haha
[Big chop is cutting off all her hair like practically bald or a #1.
slow transition is growing her natural afro without cutting any hair so you'll see two textures in her hair... natural nappy roots and the ends are straight...
weave.. you know what a weave is lol]
Haha I would say slow transition then

12.) Are you more discouraging of different skin tones going natural?
Yea I am but it jus really depends on the female & how she dresses to me
[which skin tone would prefer to not go natural?]
Brown bones & light skin. But some dark skin girls are beautiful natural
