Extended Review

What they Say: African Pride's Olive Miracle formula is rich in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for the ultimate in silky smooth deep conditioned hair and a moisture-rich healthy scalp. Use regularly to help stop breakage, split ends, and dryness. Also excellent for SKIN, BODY & NAIL health.

  • Daily Use promotes healthy hair, scalp & skin
  • Excellent as a hot oil treatment
What I say:  I like this oil. :) It's really thick so it stays in your hair and is sure to seal in your moisturizer. I love how there are multiple oils, each oil has it's own benefits. So that's a check plus-plus. I like to use this in my hair while I'm taking down my twist outs so my hair won't frizz up. 

How to use: Apply to wet or dry hair.
For hot oil treatment:
 apply to wet hair
then wrap hair with a shower cap
sit under dryer for 20 minutes
and wash out!

How much: 3 dollars
Where From: Sally's

Natural Hair Product Review: One 'N Only Argan Oil - Oil Treatment

What they say: Instant Shine, Smoothness, Frizz Control, Color Protection and Alcohol Free! Argan Oil is a non-greasy, alcohol free formula that is absorbed instantly into the hair, creating a brilliant shine without leaving any oily residue. Smooths the cuticle for silky, conditioned and healthy looking hair. Helps protect against damage caused by chemicals, excessive heat, from styling and environmental factors. Eliminates Frizz.

What I say: A nice oil that you can use to seal in moisturizers. Not the best tho. although it smells nice, it doesn't work as well as other oils that I have purchased. The Proclaim 7 Argan Oil leaves my hair shiner and softer for much longer, it even makes my hair feel a tad bit conditioned too. But this oil, only lasts about a third as long,  doesn't make my hair shine, and barely makes it soft.  I'm am a bit disappointed, the shampoo and conditioner and mask from this series worked so well, the oil just doesn't compare to them.

How to use: Rub into hair after you have applied moisturizer, or apply to wet hair.

How much: $8.50 (With Sally's Card)

Where From: Sally's Beauty Supply

Repurchase: Nah.

I love cheap things, but espicially FREE things! :]

Hey loves. Well, first things first. I stepped into a chinese beauty supply shop (you know, where they sell everything from socks, to weaves, wigs, and remy hair, to eyelashes and fake purses), and I stumbled apon some oil!

Now, I won't review, becase honestly it's nothing extraordinariy. Just a basic oil. But the reason I'm writing about it is because...
IT ONLY COST 99 CENTS!

Yep, I should say that you get what you pay for, because. Eh, well, it really isn't up to par with other oils that I've used. But still, cheap, cheap, cheap~

Natural Hair Product Review: Proclaim Argan Oil



Purchased from: Sally's Beauty Supply
Cost: $4.99
Size: 3Oz

Endurability: 8/10 - I'll give this oil it's props, if you manage can manage to keep your hands out of your hair, then it should last you atleast half a day.

Conditioning: 10/10 - So I hear Argan oil is one of the best oils out there. It makes your hear incredibly soft, perfect for sealing in your moisturizer!

Appearence on Hair/Curl Definition: 17/10 - Makes your hair moderately glossy, and makes your curls spring up. It's lovely.

Overall: This is a great oil to use for you natural haired gals, but I must say it's not the best oil I've used. It's really expensive for such a small bottle. For a cheaper price, and wayyy bigger bottle, I would just buy a bottle of Glycerin. But I guess you pay for the quality. Works great, the cost is great too.

Natural Hair Product Review: Tea Tree Oil


Purchased from: CVS
Cost: $2.99
Size: 2Oz

Endurability: 9/10 - This oil was very long lasting! If you rubbed my hair 8 hours later, traces of the oil would be on your hand.

Conditioning: 10/10 - Because it containted Aloe Vera, this product made my hair very soft to the touch, practically until you re-applied it.

Appearence on Hair/Curl Definition: 5/10 - This oil really made my curls pop, but not for long. It's be shiny for about the first our, then wear away, leaving my hair looking dull and dry, when really it wasnt. I supposed because this oil is really light and watery.

Overall: This product was great! and I do reccomend it for natural haired gals. It softens your hait with out making it look greasy. It smelled great as well, almost minty like. It didnt add to any product build up. The only think I really hate about it is the size.
