Not worth the hype
When I decided to embrace my natural hair, I was a BIG fan of Aubrey Organics HoneySuckle Rose conditioner. I raved about it many times on this very blog, and read endless reviews about the wonders of this HG conditioner. However, as time moved on, and as I tested many other deep treatments, I've realized that this conditioner is not for me.
What made me come this conclusion?
Henna.
This past week, I did a long overdue henna treatment, and since I wasn't sure if I could do a Rhassoul clay dt after a henna treatment, I reached for AOHSR as alternative.
and boy did it SUCK.
Don't get me wrong, I understand henna leaves your hair very dry and stiff which is why you're advised to do a moisturizing deep conditioner afterwards, but I couldn't help but notice how dry my hair felt.
Now to compare how my hair feels after a rhassoul deep treatment? AOHSR doesn't stand a chance. So my friends, I'm going to have discontinue using this condish(I got my eye on MyHoneyChild Olive You Deep conditioner...hush)
Now in other news, MY ANITA GRANT RHASSOUL BLOCK IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I tell you how much I LOVE the fact that I can get Anita Grant's products in the US? I've already ordered the rhassoul clay cubes AND block, and also her hair butter.
*twirls*
reviews coming soon!

Addicted....
Acceptance?....Finally?
I guess it took the Weave Fiasco of 2011 for me to "get it", but...I get it.
My naps may not be everyone cup of tea, but for me? I love my hair.
I've spent so long hiding my hair under extensions, that I used it as a crutch when the fall rolled around. I'm listening to my hair more, accessing its needs, and making the correct adjustments. I learned that my hair loves when I add more oil to my daily spritz mixture, that I can't use the Tangle Teezer for every wash, finger detangling is OK too, that I need to moisturize my hair at least twice a week, and deep conditioning is my friend.
My hair isn't %100 percent because I'm still dealing with excessive splits in my crown area, but I'm getting there.
