I suck

I haven't posted in a while because frankly....

I have nothing to post!

My hair is still in kinky twist until March and I think I might put a weave in until June and after that, back to kinky twist!

I think I might go a whole year in extensions.....

Damn.

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!

This Christmas, I *was* going to treat myself Nubar's Chocolate Truffles collection, which is a extremely gorgeous collection of chocolate polishes.

You can find reviews here:




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