10 for $10 Haircare

I am definitely a budget conscious person, so all of my products aren't one's over 10, actually half or more of the products I loooove- are under $10. This is going to be a new series of blog entries, I thought it would be perfect to start with hair products. So let's go!

How I Achieve A Heatless Blowout

Hey Hunnibees (=
I loooove doing hair posts, maybe this will become a weekly thing since i'm always trying something new whether it be a style or product.

This post is going to be on no heat blowouts,
this is my favorite method for quick stretching of natural hair and maybe it'll be yours soon as well.

What I Did:
1. Washed my hair with ORS HAIRepair Invigorating Shampoo
2. Conditioned with Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist
3. Applied Cantu Shea Butter Leave In on soaking wet hair
4. Coated hair with Vatika Coconut Oil ( I love this oil but I will be finding another coconut oil to replace it)
5. Sectioned off hair while in shower and twisted it
6. Let hair dry while wrapped in t-shirt
7. When hair is still damp its time to blow dry(I have a blowdryer with a cold setting, if you don't use your coolshot button and use a heat protectant.)
8. Mid way through blow drying I apply Carols Daughter Mimosa Hair Honey which makes their hair more smooth and set.
9. Optional- twist while blowdrying for soft, silky twistout.

Blowdry&Twist

Note: Tangle Teezers work great for heatless blowdrying, if you want your hair to be smoother follow up with a denman or paddle brush.

The Outcome:

No styling

Light Styling

Twistout

















What's your favorite? Have you ever used this method on your hair? I love the versatility of natural hair (:

Adovia Dead Sea Mud Shampoo and Dead Sea Salt Conditioner Review

If you follow me you'll know how much I love Adovia products ;__;.
I recently got to try Adovia's Dead Sea Mud shampoo and Dead Sea Salt Conditioner on my curls and it was interesting for a lack of better words. But, lets start off with a quick intro to these products. (=

Adovia Dead Sea Mud Shampoo:

• Helps to Relieve Itching from Dry, Flaky Scalp & Dandruff

• Helps to Relieve Symptoms of Scalp Psoriasis & Seborrhea Dermatitis

• Made with Pure & Natural Dead Sea Mud for an Infusion of Essential Minerals into Scalp & Hair

• Specially formulated for dry, itchy scalps & Dandruff

• Also Contains Olive Oil, Shea Butter, Vitamin E & Chamomile for a Natural Formula that gets results.

Adovia Dead Sea Salt Conditioner:

• Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin and Hair Function.
• Leaves Hair Looking Hydrated, Healthy and Silky.
• Helps to Reduce the appearance of Dandruff and Dry, Flaky Scalp.
• Aloe Vera Deeply Nourishes the Scalp and Hair - Hydrating it from Within.
•  Dead Sea Salt contains more than 21 skin and hair rebuilding minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium.

These are all great things, but sadly the shampoo has a sulfate as the third ingredient and the conditioner has mineral oil. While this seems to work great for certain people, this two products are not so great for me.

Whenever I clarify I will use the shampoo- probably the next time I wash my hair to rid it of the mineral oil.
I will be handing these two off to my mom who is relaxed to see how she likes it on her hair.
If you don't mind mineral oil or wear your hair straight most of the time then this may be for you (=

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
