CAROL HAS COME TO CLEVELAND

OK, sooooo I may be late on this one, but I'm sharing anyway...CAROL'S DAUGHTER has FINALLY come to Cleveland!!!

I was shopping at Dillard's at Beachwood Mall and decided to take the route less taken - through the Cosmetics Section. Now usually I head straight for the shoes, but because it was crowded I figured I'd take my chances of being asked to try a fragrance instead. THANKFULLY I did. I saw a complete display of Carol's Daughter Hair and Skin Care products. Stopped me dead in my tracks. I asked a lady how long it had been there, and she said since the holidays...WHAT?!?! Clearly I've been under a rock. Anywho, I wanted to try the Khoret Amen Hair Oil, but since they were out, got the Tui Hair Oil and the Rosemary Mint Fortifying Shampoo. [Like I need another product] So we'll see how it goes. Just thought I'd let y'all in on Carol being here.

OUCHLESS by Goody

These might be the best things since sliced bread for us Naturalites and Transitioners!!

#1 - They are GREAT for Puffs and any style that requires your hair to be pulled back

#2 - Long-term grip! No sliding here

#3 - The headbands are so elastic, they wrap around MY HEAD TWICE!!! *faint*

GET THESE IN YOUR STASH NOW!! And save some for a rainy day. You can easily clip on a flower or some jewels to jazz them up. They worked great for my completely unexpected, but cute style I had going on this weekend.

I think these would also work well for the kiddies too. This may help with some of the pulling that comes along with regular ponytail holders, especially the ones with the metal crimp.

They were pretty hard to come by, for me at least, because every store I went to they were sold out. I lucked up at Wally World in Bedford and Eastlake.

CURLYSEXYHAIR CURLING CREME

Ok, so I almost had a breakdown this weekend. I went to Great Lakes Mall and to my complete and utter surprise my little piece of product heaven, Trade Secret, is GONE!! *TEARSTEARSTEARS* Now we all know I've lost my coconut oil, but for the place where I find my little trial goodies not to be there just about did me in!! I mean what the heck is going on here??? Now I have to travel all the way to WestBumHill and back (Strongsville) to get my goodies :/

Anyways, I bought a trial size of CurlySexyHair's Curling Creme from there a while ago and I forgot I had it until I was looking underneath my sink for my Miss Jessies. I used it as part of my W&G routine, just to try it out. I kinda like it. It made my curl pattern more defined and didn't dry my hair out. It actually made my hair super soft. Now usually when I do a W&G, my fro looks VERY dry in a matter of hours, but this Creme keep it looking moisturized. I said I was gonna try it out with my twists to see how it works. So I'll keep you posted.

If you've tried this Curling Creme before, what did you think?

OH NOOOOOOO!!!

Soooooooooo I could really shoot myself for this. I have LOST my coconut oil!!! I mean how did this happen. It was in my purse (b/c I do take it to work for a refresh after hard hat hair) and I remember bringing it home, but after that...BLUR!! It was BRAND NEW!! I've looked EVERYWHERE! I'm so upset, I got it from a vendor, now I have to re-purchase some from online. Any suggestions? Never done this before. Oh the pain...Have a great weekend!! I hope it started better than mine :(

CURLFORMED HAIR

Hey Guys! Here's my results from a Curlformer Set I did. Definitely a keeper, especially for Transitioners. It also works for us Naturalites for our fall hair collection.

The Hook:

Twist the hair, slide the Hook into the Curlformer, and pull through

All 'formed

I let it air dry overnight and...

VOILA!! So AMAZING!!

Semi-pulled apart (Remember never pull your curls apart with dry hands! Use EVOO or some type of coating - prevents frizz)

All DONE!

What ya think??

YOU BETTER WORK

Here are some pics of folks out and about in C-town. I must say they are Naturally FLYY! Enjoy....

(Not in Cleveland, but FAB hair nonetheless)

Oh yeah! Watch out now, I might get YOU next!
