So-I have just begun to load up on different products that I have never tried and figured that best way to document what worked and what didn't work...

I love EVOO-- I put it either directly in my hairor I combine it with distilled water and other oils and use it to refresh my wash-n-go in the mornings!!! *Taste great with food to lol* |

you can either find grape seed oil in your supermarket (as pictured above) orin your local Beauty supply Store.  Love this oil! Rich in Vit E and the benefits for your skin and hair are endless!!! Found in my local supermarket! Make sure the oil is **cold pressed!** |
Oils: All of my oils are just WONDERFUL!! I found many of them in my local beauty supply store. NOW--I use the following oils to ***Pre-Poo, EVOO, Safflower and Grape seed oil. I found all three of these oils in my supermarket. I use other oils that I purchase at my local beauty supply store such as: Argan Oil, Moroccan oil and Shea butter. Unfortunately I finished them and need to go stock up. As soon as I have them I will post pics!
Shampoos & Cleansers: When I first went natural, I learned about the horrors of sulfates and parbens. I initially made the decision NOT to shampoo and just to co-wash. However, my hair just didn't feel *squeaky clean* and I decided to experiment with some cleansers and all natural shampoos that were NOT EXPENSIVE...
Lisa Rachel is much like WEN. It is a "cleanser and states that once you use it, you will never go back to shampooing. At first glance, it resembles any other shampoo, white and silky and smelled like peppermint. the instructions tell you to first saturate your hair, apply about 5-7 pumps and while you are working the product in, you can add some water for sudding action. You can also choose to leave some in. The first time I tried it I LOVED IT!
It has a nice tingle and does feel soft on the hair. I am not sure if I still LOVE IT, my hair started to feel a bit dry after using it a few times. I did like it as a leave in and continued to use it as such. For all of those out there that wanted to try WEN I would suggest that you use this first. It has the same ingredients as WEN and is about 10 bucks in the local beauty supply store.

I first came across Zion Health Adama shampoo at my local health food store (Nature's Pantry). I purchased the aroma therapy Peach Jasmine Scent and so far I have nothing negative to say about this product. I love it and think I will continue to use it. It brings out a brilliant shine and is said to restore your hair's PH balance. My boyfriend also uses this shampoo and he likes it so far. His only complaint was that the smell was a bit strong. He said it smelled like straight alcohol....maybe that's why I like it....:) Price point is $11.00 Hair Products
I first heard about other naturals *raving* about Shea moisture products in my natural hair community on facebook. Once my hair got long enough for wash n go's I decided to give it a try. The products SMELL GREAT!! The texture is smooth and thick, so the product will not be running down your face or back. Productswork great on wet or dry hair. I have used both products in the shower (using the shingling method) and out the shower for my wash-no-go's. I like the smoothie as more of a moisturizer and the souffle as a gel (thought it does not really hold like I would like a gel to). I am not sure if I will purchase the souffle again, but the smoothie is def staying! I have also purchased the Deep conditioner mask (not pictured) must say that it is truly moisturized my hair. All products have a price point of TEN dollars. **If purchased at Walgreen's you can return to the store, even if opened!!!**
THIS GEL IS AWESOME!!! Lots of Curls by La Bella is GREAT and alcohol free! It is also SUPER CHEAP and better than 
Dry hair with Lots Of Curls....Look at that curl defenition!! <3
Below are some more pics using the lot of curls product. The pics are of a 3 day old wash-n-go!! Ijust spritz my water bottle on my hair in the A.M, apply a little shea moisture smoothie and go and I am out of the door!!!
