So I love Kinky Curly even more.... it gave me 5-day hair!

For a while, I've been using Kinky Curly Knot Today as my leave-in of choice.

It detangles well, smells good, and leaves my hair feeling nice and prepped for my usual twist-outs.

After a few so-so attempts at using the Hair Rules Curling Cream, I gave up on trying to replicate the fabulous results I got at the salon. :-p

This weekend, a trip to Target led me to pick up a jar of Kinky Curly Curling Custard.

I LOVE IT! I washed my hair with Shea Moisture Black Soap as usual, then used the Knot Today leave-in, and raked the KCCC through my hair, touching up some of the more visible areas with a denman brush.

Here's how it looked the day of application:

The next day I spritzed with warm water to refresh the curls and it looked like this. Curls were still defined but this style was a little much for work so I ended up pulling it back with a headband.

Day 3, I re-spritzed with warm water, touched up any fuzzy areas with the Denman brush, and wore it as a puff with bangs.

Day 4, same style

Day 5- same process, same style, minus the bangs

I think I've found my newest holy grail hair product! Thank you Kinky-Curly!

Curlformers + soft bonnet dryer= happiness!

I gave the Curlformers another try on Friday, setting my hair under my new soft bonnet dryer attachment. Friday night I twisted my hair dry, and added flexi-rods.

And here are the results: huge and soft curls! (These photos were taken Saturday night)

Wash & Go and Garnier Fructis Curl & Shine

Today I got to try my new Garnier Fructis Curl & Shine conditioner. Loved the scent, and when I combed through it in the shower, it had more slip than I expected. Added a little Suave Almond & Shea Butter conditioner to leave in (still my favorite!).



Today was another humid August day so I decided to go for a wash & go, pulled back with two combs. I had lots of shrinkage on this style.


The conditioner + Denman brush gave me good curl definition except for the crown, which is always a little more frizzy.

Ladies Choice: Koils by Nature Hair Butter

My favorite style is the twist-out, and nothing gives my 2nd and 3rd day twistouts moisture and shine better than Koils by Nature Hair Butter! It's now definitely one of my staple haircare items.



I won a free sample via the Koils by Nature facebook page, and ended up buying a large jar of the unscented hair butter.



I use it to seal my ends when re-twisting my hair (I usually use raw shea butter when I do the initial wet twists), and I put some on my fingertips when I'm untwisting in the morning.



Take a look at the ingredients to see why my hair loves it so much:

Shea butter, coconut oil, kokum butter, mango butter, avocado butter, aloe butter, olive butter, sweet almond butter, illipe butter, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, organic extra virgin olive oil, rosehip oil, organic honey, grapefruit seed extract, Vitamin E, Vitamin B5, organic essential oils.
