New kid on the block

It's been awhile since I did a hair post, so I'm going to update a bit about a new product I'm using.

As you know, I'm currently in kinky twist until March....April...hell make that July. Now, since the air is cold and dry, keeping my hair moisturized and free of buildup is a must. The last time I removed my last set of kinky twist from my hair, some parts were extremely dry and matted and that had me worried. I think it was probably due to the lack of mositurizing and cleaning. I'll admit that for the last three weeks I had the twist in, I became extremely lazy with washing and mositurizing and I paid dearly.

Never again!

I think what deterred me was not having an all-in-one product that shampoo and conditions my hair.

In the past, I was using Shakaki, Amla, Neem, Aritha, Coltsfoot, Hisbiscus,Nettle, and Sage to make herbal teas that I would use to cleanse my hair. After awhile I became extremely lazy and was turned off from the WHOLE process.

Enter Hesh Heenara.




While stocking up on my auyerda powders for my hair, I came across Hesh Haneera powder. What stood out most  to me in was the ingredients: Mehendi Leaves, Maka Leaves, Shikakai Fruit, Amla Fruit (5%), Methi Seed, Narangi Chal, Neem Leaves, Kumari Leaves, Japakusum Flower, Mandoor Powder, Behda Fruit, Kapur Kachli Stem, Brahmi Leaves, Harde Fruit, Chandan, Sugandhi Dravya

 How amazing is that?

I ordered two boxes and I'm going to give it a try tomorrow.

Wish me luck!

Then yesterday I checked Scrangie's review(here) of China's Glaze Up & Away Spring collection....BIG mistake people!

Also, it doesn't help that Zoya sent out their press release for their new Spring collection, Reviere as well.
