I LOVE great customer service!!!!!

There is something I love about great customer service. It makes me feel that they are working hard for ME and since I AM a picky customer, it's something I really appreciate.

This week, I ordered a BUNCH of products from Karen's Body Beautiful(like $75 worth! Don't judge me dammit! $40 off purchases over $100! You can NOT go wrong)

Anyway, so I ordered the products this week and since I opted for the in store delivery since I DO live in the neighborhood, I noticed that my order was STILL processing today. You know how I get when I order anything online.

What's the effin hold up?

So I called the store to inquiry about my order and the VERY NICE salesgirl informed me that the Pomegranate Guava fragrance oil is on back order. Well shit that sucks, since I ordered the Hair Nectar in Pomegranate Guava and then she also stated that the Hair Oil in Chamomile Sage was also sold out, which was sucks because I ordered that as well.

WELL THIS BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So being the impatient brat that I am, I asked her what scents do you have for the Hair Nectar AND the hair oil.

and do you BELIEVE that she was nice enough to actually write down all the scents that was available and read them to me?

How effin great is that?

I love great customer service!

Soft hair, I LOVE my soft hair...

Now I know I've raved about products that made my hair soft, only to make my hair HARD as hell a week later. Well, this is a journey for me, so everything is trail and error as I try find products that my hair like.

So far, my hair likes the KBB Nectar + Qhemet BRBC combo. Now my hair might turn on me and decides it hates this combo, but for now? My hair is behaving and sooooo soft, which is important to me.

Now Qhemet CTDG does NOTHING for my hair suprisingly, and I think Karen's Body Beautiful hair nectar has amazing detangling abilities so much so that I'm going to give away BOTH bottles of the Coco Tea Detangling Ghee, also Qhemet Olive and Honey Hydrating Balm does not work on my hair as well. It's too thick and makes my hair hard. So I might just give both of my products to my little sister.

Now as for castor oil, I can't see myself going back to coconut oil. My hair, better yet, my ends loves castor oil. It's extremely moisturizing and it gives my deep conditioner an extra KICK.

Tonight I undid a braid and my hair was so soft from root to tip, which is something I'm not used to. My hair would always feel soft but my ends would feel so brittle and dry. It helped that I baggied my ends last night, but nonetheless I am loving how my hair feels this moment!

Back!

Well I just finished visiting Karen's Body Beautiful. Thank the heavens for my strong will because I would have def left with the hair butter and cream. Karen was great! She put a bunch of products in my hair and my hair felt sooooo soft.

But alas, her hair butter and cream are made with shea butter which just sits on my hair, so I didn't buy those products.

I did however, exchange the hair milk for the hair nectar in Honey Oatmeal and boy does it smell goooood.

I'm a fan for sure!

When I start working again, I will definitely pick up the shea butter cream, the body splash, body oil, and their soap bars!

All I want is mositure

First thing I did this morning was undo the twist and braid that held the Karen Body Beautiful products.



Ok onto my review:



KBB hair nectar+ Qhemet BRBC + coconut seal= love



First off, when I applied the Hair Nectar to my dry hair, my hair was instantly soft and fluffy, with no greasy residue. The best part was that my ends were extremely soft and moisturized. In the past, trying to find the right products that made my dry, extremely coily ends soft was difficult. Like I said, Qhemet BRBC is a god send, but my ends had to be saturated just so I can get my wide tooth comb through it, even after I detangled my hair in the shower. With this product not only it made my hair soft, my ends were easy to detangle and I didn't even need to use a comb! This product has AMAZING slip! Now I understand what people meant by finding a product with great slip. Now using this under Qhem's BRBC is great, this makes for an amazing combo. Hair Nectar is an amazing detangling product, it makes my hair soft and combine with Qhem's BRBC is extremely moisturizing, which is a win win for me!



Now onto KBB Hair Milk + Qhem's BRBC+ coconut oil to seal= greatness.



Now the hair milk is a slightly heavier product than the hair nectar. The nectar is more for those whose hair weighs down easily while the hair milk is for those whose hair is more thicker and can handle a lot of oils. Now back to my review, the hair milk worked just as well as the hair nectar, but it did leave some residue, not a lot but some. This product worked just as well as Hair Nectar but since its a much heavier product and the weather is getting nicer, I might just return this to get another bottle of the Hair Nectar. But for those whose hair can handle suck up a lot product, this just may be the product for you.



All in all, I had a wonderful experience using Karen Body beautiful and I will be making another purchase!

OMG

I think I have fallen in love.

I didn't think it was possible.

I think my hair loved it from first pump and the smell is DIVINE!!!!!!!!!

What is the new product sent to Earth from the heavens above?????




Karen Body Beautiful Hair Nectar and KBB Hair Milk in Chamomille Sage.



I am STUNNED

A little back story: browsing np.com commercial hair products section, where everyone was raving over Oyin, Qhemet, and Anita Grant hair products, people were always bringing up the wonders of Karen Body Beautiful products. So I decided to check check out her website and my heavens there was so much to chose from! I wanted them ALLL. But because there was so much to chose from, I got overwhelmed and left her web site without purchasing anything.

Fastfoward to a few weeks later and I'm searching the KBB thread once again, I notice people were raving about KBB's hair nectar and milk, and how it's great to use as a leave in conditioner and leaves your hair super soft.

Now I love me some Qhem BRBC, but it wasn't leaving my hair as soft as I would like, so a girl was definitely keeping her options open.

Anyhoots, so after doing a ton of research and reading what people were saying about the hair milk and nectar, I decided to try it out.

But!

I didn't want to order anything online, but little did I know there was a store in Brooklyn!

Fastfoward to last weekend and guess what I saw as I'm driving through Brooklyn????

Karen Body Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I was AMPED!

So today after much debating, I decided to go to visit the store and holy mackerel it was such a pleasant experience.

So I purchased the Hair Milk and Hair Nectar in Chamomille Sage(smells divine!), as there are a slew of scents to chose from. Anyway, I took out one of my newly washed and moisturize twist, re shampooed and applied the hair nectar to one section of my hair....

HOLY BATMAN SOFTNESS

My hair has never, ever, been this soft or fluffy EVER, especially after using a clarifying shampoo. My hair was soooooo soft AND it wasn't greasy at all!

To test, I decided to braid one section of my hair using the hair nectar as a leave in, my BRBC as the moisturizer, and seal with coconut oil. I can't keep my hands out of my hair!!!!! The detangling powers of the product is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did I mentioned the smell is divine??????



So on another section of my hair, I decided to twist using the Hair milk as the leave in, BRBC as the moisturizer and coconut oil to seal.

I will post results tomorrow!
