I had the pleasure of receiving an <a href="https://organicaromas.com/collections/nebulizing-essential-oil-diffusers-for-aromatherapy" target="_blank">essential oil diffuser</a> from organic aromas, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.</div>

In case you've never heard of aromatherapy, here is a brief description; Aromatherapy is the practice of using the natural oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots or other parts of a plant to enhance psychological and physical well-being. The inhaled aroma from these "essential" oils is widely believed to stimulate brain function. (<a href="http://www.aromatherapy.com/" target="_blank">source</a>)<br />
<br />
<br />
I received the<a href="https://organicaromas.com/collections/nebulizing-essential-oil-diffusers-for-aromatherapy/products/raindrop-essential-oil-diffuser" target="_blank"> Raindrop - Nebulizing Diffuser</a> in color "light wood" and here's my honest review on it.<br />

<b>PROS</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It was more of a kit because it included everything I needed in the package (glass cap, glass reservoir, hardwood base, 10 ml of their <a href="https://organicaromas.com/collections/essential-oil-blends/products/benefits-and-uses-of-serenity-essential-oil-blend" target="_blank">Serenity essential oil blend</a>, droppers, and a power plug)</li>
<li>This nebulizer has low energy consumption and auto shuts off after 120 minutes.</li>
<li>The aroma for the oil blend was truly amazing! It filled my 893 sq ft apt in under 2 minutes.</li>
<li>No burning smell. I tried a diffuser in the past and after a while it began to smell like extremely burnt oil. So I was glad when I had this on for only 30 minutes and there was no burnt smells in my home</li>
<li>Great for use in the dark. I like to take my bath with <a href="http://www.fredafro.com/2015/04/old-factory-candle-gift-set-review.html" target="_blank">essential oil candles</a>, but they often burn out quickly but thanks to the beautiful LED light on this Nebulizing diffuser, I can take long peaceful baths with only 10 drops of my favorite essential oil.</li>
<li>Easy to follow instructions, easy to use and easy to clean.</li>
</ul>

I personally love to get my hair braided in the summer for about 2-3 weeks. I find that it protects my hair from harsh sun rays. </div>

I've been exploring my hair skills lately (more posts coming) and I decided to make a crochet wig back in december. The process was pretty fast and didn't take much time. </div>

I made two, but this one turned out to be my favorite one. The wig is very versatile, because you can use it as a half or full wig and also change the curl pattern if you wish.</div>

I love burning candles, mostly because they tend to be very relaxing and soothing. </div>
<div>
They're also a great mood setter and room freshener.</div>

I received this candle from the company, via a Tomoson promotion, and I fell in love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The glass jars are so vintage looking, and make for a pretty decor.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The candles smell great when bunt individually, but scent AMAZING when burnt together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It promises to burn for up to 18hs each, but I can't attest to that, because I wanted mine to last a bit longer so I don't burn it too often(I did however read the Amazon reviews, and some say it did, while others say it did not last up to 20 hours).</div>

Hey beautiful people! I haven't blogged in FOREVER and a day, and I really missed it.</div>

So as most of you know, I've been natural for 3 years now, and so far I'd say my hair is faring pretty well, although it seems to shrink a lot more.</div>

Besides the flat iron cravings, I've been stepping out of my comfort zone product wise and testing out new ones like trader joe's jessicurl, ones from etsy shop, and many more( so expect to see my review on them). I've also gotten lazy with styling, and if you follow me on <a href="http://www.instagram.com/fredafro1" target="_blank">Instagram </a>you'd see that my hair is always either in a high puff, to jumbo flat twists, or a flat twistout.<br />

<br />
I plan on getting rope twist extensions or a sew-in real soon, since I haven't given my hair a vacation for a while.<br />
<br />
As for blog plans, I plan to start YouTube videos soon, since I plan on trying different styles and more DIY I believe a video and a written post will be a lot more descriptive.<br />

<i>Happy new year everyone! Hope it has gotten off to a great start for you all. </i><br />
<br />
If you fall into the same category has me then you need this diy: deep conditioner in your life. Over the holidays I flat ironed my hair and for the whole week I was laying in my bed staring at the ceiling and wondering if I had heat damage (exaggeration). I had done all the precautionary steps but you cant help but wonder. (You know?)<br />
<br />
Like always I try to keep my diys simple for you and I. The important ingredients are mayonnaise and a over-ripen banana. That's it. Surprisingly, mayonnaise contains many of the properties in your store bought products. Protein, humidifiers and wait for it silicone.<br />
1. It contains oils (humidifiers) that penetrate the hair and deeply moisturizes hair.<br />
2. It coats the hair easily- like a (silicone) and aids in shine and protection while heat styling.<br />
3. Replenishes weak strands to prevent breakage (protein) and also encourages new growth.<br />
But why over-ripen banana? Has the banana ages, its antioxidant levels increase. Antioxidants provide protection of cells, promotes growth, maintains hair colour, and the integrity of your hair. Vitamin C assists the absorption of iron; which is necessary for oxygenation. Oxygen stimulates cell metabolism and increases blood flow which ultimately promotes hair growth. Vitamin A regulates sebum production (oil on the scalp) keeping scalp and hair lubricated while vitamin E stimulates circulation. Doesn't it sound amazing?<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
1 over ripen banana<br />
3 tbsp of mayonnaise (depending on hair density you may use more or less)<br />
Essential oil for scent (recommended)<br />
<br />
1. Remove the skin, cut banana into smaller pieces and place in blender.<br />
2. Add 3 tbsp of mayonnaise<br />
3. Thoroughly blend<br />
4. Place in a recycled bottle to reduce mess.<br />
5. Apply to hair and leave for 40 minutes.<br />
6. Follow with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.<br />
7. Style has desired.<br />
<br />
Mess Level: Medium<br />

N.B I do recommend adding something to mask the smell of the mayonnaise. Especially if you are not a fan of the smell of eggs. I didn't have anything to mask the smell and I had to give my bathroom a thorough cleaning because my mom hates the smell.<br />
<br />
Happy deep conditioning!<br />

I recently had the honor of trying out the infamous soniclear brush by Michael Todd. I have sensitive skin, and I usually cleanse my face with Dudu Osun African Black Soap and water, and I know that wasn't enough, but I always found myself lazy to go the extra mile and use a facial brush.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well that has definitely changed because I've fallen in love with this brush. It made my skin glow more, softer, less oily and more hydrated. I honestly don't know what else I could be searching for in a brush.</div>

My last relaxer was April 16, 2013, transitioned for 7 months then I BC (big chopped) on November 22, 2013. After the BC, I've been natural for 1 year and 10 months.</div>

<b>What's your hair story?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One day I was getting my hair relaxed, it was pretty, but my hair was looking thin and I kept getting burns on my scalp for leaving the relaxer in too long. It was painful. So my sister asked, “why can’t you just be natural” (she was 2 months natural at the time), I said because it will be hard to take care of. A few months went by and my sister’s hair was looking pretty and curly so I figured my hair would be like hers. I did some research and found out relaxers, perms and etc was so unhealthy. My sister convinced me to do it. On Thanksgiving Day, I randomly BC my hair and that’s when I decided to go natural.</div>

<b>How do you feel about your hair?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my hair. I love the softness, and texture. Natural hair in general is versatile. At times, I get annoyed because I feel like it’s not growing, but patience is key in my opinion.</div>

<b>What are some of your favorite products?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a product junkie lowkey. Some of the products I usually use is the tresemme naturals conditioner, as I am curl boosting jelly, and eco styler gel(argan oil) which are my favorites. I love the shea moisture line but its too expensive so I don’t use that line.</div>

<b>Describe your hair regimen</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My regimen is not that hard to do. Its simple. I co wash my hair 1-2 times a week with tresemme natural conditioner. I don't use shampoo unless my hair is really dirty (about 2 times a month). I deep condition but not often, but I need to start doing it once a week.<br />

I’m a lazy natural, so like doing high puffs and afros. I like simple natural hairstyles that won't take up time. I watch natural hair videos on youtube to find inspiration for natural hair styles</div>

<b>What has been the hardest part of your natural hair journey?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the hardest parts of my natural hair journey would be transitioning that’s why I cut my hair 7 months after transitioning it was hard to handle. My permed/relaxed hair started to break off. Also, people who judged me and make fun of me after I cut my hair. A lot of people were mad and upset, but it just hair it’ll grow back. I have to do what is best for me and not care what others think.</div>

<b>What tips/suggestions do you have for other naturals/transitioners?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Use as less heat as you can or don’t use any at all. Your hair will become damaged if you use a lot of it. Being natural is not all about length it’s about the health of your hair. I recommend you watch natural hair videos on any question you may have about natural hair, that’s what I did most of the time. Also when you co wash/wash your hair use a shirt but don’t use a towel it will possibly break your hair. Lastly, Please be patient. Don’t give up on your hair so easily.<br />

Isn't Ngozi's hair super gorgeous?! </div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Have you found a
leave-in that tackles not one but all of your hair needs? If not I am going to
get you set for life, with this 10 in 1 leave-in treatment made from aloe vera
and pomegranate. This treatment will balance the ph of your hair and scalp, encourage
moisture retention, promote growth, reduce itchiness, dandruff, scaling, scalp
inflammation, reduce frizz, add shine and repair dry hair. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> The alkalizing properties of aloe vera
incentivize the ph level of the scalp and hair. Hair that has a balanced ph
(potential of hydrogen) is less vulnerable to lifted cuticles, fungi and
bacteria. Thus ensuring less damage, dryness and the hair will have its natural
vibrancy. Additionally, a balanced scalp will result in moisture retention and
the promotion of hair growth. Due to the presence of amino acids in aloe vera
the hair is strengthened, frizz reduced and a boost in luster. As for the
pomegranate it strengthens the follicle, accelerates growth and helps combat
dandruff. While rose hip oil helps with cell renewal and damage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Putting the leave-in into a spray bottle provides better control. A good idea is to make this the night prior for less hassle on wash day. The consistency will be that of a jelly-liquid so this can serve has a setting product for curly sets such as flexi rods, curlformers, bantu knots and perm rods. This portion will fill a 12oz bottle<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Ingredients</b>: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Prunus Dulcis (Almond) Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Nut Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil.<br />
<br />
I love the smell of this oil, the lavender really stands out, but it's mild and light. I used this as a scalp oil and sealant several times, and a hot oil treatment and frizz serum once.<br />
<br />As a scalp oil it was great, light and non greasy, I can't say for sure if I experienced any hair growth, mostly because I wasn't monitoring that, but my scalp did feel rejuvenated and became less itchy. As a sealant, the oil was a little bit too light, probably because olive oil is the first ingredient and that is a penetrating oil..which is probably why I loved it as a hot oil treatment! I did mix it in with a little bit of coconut oil for extra penetration, and I cowashed afterwards.<br />
<br />
As a frizz serum, I did a blowout before going out to dinner, but it was super humid that night, so I may retest this once it gets colder.<br />

In my <a href="http://www.fredafro.com/2014/06/wash-day-experience-washing.html" target="_blank">WASHING TRANSITIONING KID'S HAIR WITH PARNEVU</a> post, I showed a picture of how much shed hair my little sister got over the course of a month, which is usually rare for transitioning hair, as it sheds and breaks easily. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Truth is her hair used to shed a lot (like every time she would touch her hair, you'd see numerous strands of hair come out), so I began to do tea rinses on her hair. I started with green tea, then would sometimes use black tea or a combination of both.<br />
<br />
Black or green tea is an excellent way to stop our hair from shedding as much. This is because it contains caffeine which blocks DHT, (dihydrotestosterone) a hormone which is responsible for hair loss and makes it impossible for healthy hair to thrive. Black tea also darkens the hair and gives it strength and shine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shampoo or co-wash her hair, then rinse it out with the warm brewed tea, then apply conditioner over it and let it sit for 3-5 mins, rinse with cool water and apply a blend of EVCO (Extra Virgin Coconut Oil) and EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tea rinses were done bi-monthly at first, then slowed down to once a month, and now they're done as needed. If you want you can let the tea sit for a while before you apply the conditioner over it. It is important that when doing the tea rinse you do not opt for decaffeinated tea as the caffeine in the tea is the integral component of the rinse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are experiencing a lot of shedding or if you will like to minimise the amount of hair shed, a tea rinse might just be the remedy you are seeking. A great alternative for non DIYers is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000142P12/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000142P12&linkCode=as2&tag=frefro-20&linkId=ETGFCCDDFV4ZRCYB">ApHogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer</a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=frefro-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000142P12" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />.<br />

I do love using this lipstick! It definitely reminds me of the MaryKay Red color wise, and it doesn't coat my lips heavily(My lips feel blank and can breathe) or dry them out, the ingredients are amazing and simple. It is a little pricy however, ($17 for a 0.13 oz), but for the quality you're getting, it's so worth it! </div>

<b>Diluting The </b><b>Shampoo With </b><b>Oils or Butters</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: left;">Another way I prevent shampoo dryness by diluting the shampoo with moisturizing oils and butters like shea butter, coconut, palm, </span><span style="text-align: left;">neem,</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><span style="text-align: left;">or olive oil. I take an applicator bottle and mix enough for 6 washes.I find the most moisturizing mix to be 1:1 of palm oil to shampoo.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><b>Diluting The Shampoo With Water or Aloe Vera Juice(AVJ)</b></span>
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">This one is quite easy and can can be done while you're in the shower. Just grab an applicator bottle and combine five (5) parts water to one (1) part shampoo. If using using AVJ then combine two (2) parts of AVJ to one (1) part shampoo. This method if using water is the cheapest and fastest, you can use tap water if you prefer, but I personally use distilled water.</span><br />

When most people see the word sulfate on a shampoo's ingredient list, they automatically assume it'll be drying, but I've come across a few shampoos that contained sulfates and when used solely on it's own, did more moisturizing than drying and my two favorites are the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JJVG6HC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00JJVG6HC&linkCode=as2&tag=frefro-20&linkId=DLMXYVVOGEZAQKX2">Adovia Dead Sea Mud Shampoo</a> and the <a href="http://www.sallybeauty.com/hydrating-shampoo/SBS-314005,default,pd.html#start=7" target="_blank">Sally Hydrating Shampoo</a><br />

I know in the beginning of your hair journey it's hard to find a staple product(s) for your hair that you will love. It's REALLY hard to find a product that works for 4/b 4/c hair . That's why (insert name here) decided to make a natural hair line of her own to help people who are trying to find the right product for your hair . I had the privilege to interview the founder of Naturelle Grow in my last blog post and now of course, it would make more sense to make a product review blog !

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Roll, tuck, pin and puff has always been a convenient go to style for me. It's fast, simple, and can easily become a protective style if you decide to bun your puff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this style, I prefer to start of with stretched hair, so my puff doesn't shrink up as opposed to if I did it on freshly washed hair. I start rolling from the sides, and pinning whenever deemed necessary. Once I finish pinning, I take a scrunchie and hold the hair that was left over.</div>

I'm so excited to introduce this blogger to you all, mostly because she combines two of my favorite things in one place...natural hair and food! :)<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Introduce Yourself.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey! My name is Victoria Sallie. I'm a 21 year old blogger/student living in NYC.</div>

<b>How long have you been natural? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I began my journey to natural hair in January 2013, but I've been fully natural for 2 months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Did you Big Chop or Transition?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I transitioned for a year and three months! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What's your hair story? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, going natural was kind of a random decision. I was studying abroad in Europe, couldn't find a relaxer, and I had no idea what to really do with my hair. A friend of mine who was already natural kind of convinced me to try it. I did some research on YouTube and different hair blogs, and after seeing all of the beautiful women with natural hair (my friend included), I decided to give it a shot. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>How do you feel about your hair?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my hair! Sometimes it may be frustrating because a style I try doesn't come out right, but I know that I just have to wash my hair & try again. It's so versatile, it's beautiful, and it's mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What are some of your favorite products? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Phew, how much time do you have? I'm a recovering (not really) product junkie, so I try a little bit of everything. I love Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo, their Curl Enhancing Smoothie, their conditioners.. Basically anything Shea Moisture. I also love Kinky Curly Knot Today leave in & Eco Styler gel. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Describe your hair regimen. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to co-wash my hair twice a week and deep condition once a week. I alternate every other week between moisturizing and protein treatments. I pre-poo and shampoo every 2 weeks- every month, depending on product buildup. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What are your favorite hairstyles? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm lazy, so I'd have to say the wash n go is my go to style. I'm still experimenting with my newly natural hair, but I find that I also like flat twist outs and braid outs. </div>

<b>What has been the hardest part of your natural hair journey?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardest part of my journey so far has been self image and dealing with other people's perceptions of my natural hair. Natural hair is still kind of taboo in general society, and I've had to deal with criticism from close friends and family members, which made me feel bad about myself. At this point though, I understand that my natural hair is an extension of me and it's beautiful, so I can really care less about someone else's opinion *flips hair*</div>

<b>What tips/suggestions do you have for other naturals/transitioners?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Play around & have fun with your hair! Also learn the value of patience. When I first started I had no CLUE what I was doing, and I got discouraged but I just kept playing around and tweaking my regimen until I found out what worked for me. It's just hair, but it's YOUR hair so let it flourish :)</div>

For those who know me I am considered an extroverted introvert. I'm quiet but can become easily active and talkative around my comfy peeps. I recently heard a phrase "I don't look like what I've been through" and instantly thought me too. From the title one must be wondering where is this going, but I'm getting there.<br />

If you are familiar with my <a href="http://kreamykurls.blogspot.com/2013/06/hol-mi-close.html">Hol Mi Close</a> posts I typically share a struggle and how I overcame it. A year ago I lost a friend to suicide and I literally found out a few hours before my final exam the following morning. However, the message had not clicked until five minutes remaining in my exam. Read more about that story with the link provided above. Now, a year later and it would almost appear that I have been going through the greatest struggle of my adult life. Throughout the year I had formed and made some great friendships. I learnt patience, tolerance and other wonderful life lessons. I had met someone who was also suicidal. I expressed my views on it, their views and whenever those thoughts would come up with my friend I'd try to find other activities to distract them. It was good on some days not so great on others but I was adamant to continue whatever I was doing. One day I went walking and walked into what was an attempt to fulfill the thought of suicide. Stopped in my tracks and I didn't know what to do. The first thought was to just instantly become cold to numb the emotions but then I thought of what that would do to my friend. Would they continue what I have intially planned to if I reacted that way? Was the first question that pooped. After a speech that went not very far in my opinion. I left and continued where I had planned to go. Pretending to be fully functional but my mind had been playing re-runs of the previous episode. A few hours later I break down; it was just too much for me to handle. I got myself together and went to get some assistance. The suggestion was made to take my friend in to see the counselor I had gone to see. I was nervous almost scared because I knew the reaction I would receive. The exchange was just has I thought it would take place. There was a resistance to attend but the deal I was given was only if I was in going they would go. Things were going ok and then they stopped going. In a way I feel guilty that I was not the friend I should have been to Jahvon after we left Primary School and it is something I carry around but do not focus on continuously. Then to be faced; literally faced with suicide was quite deteriorating mentally and emotionally. Periodically, I go through my old diaries to remind myself of where I am coming from. When I see my own penmanship of how I wanted to die, how worthless I was and other scary expressions. I shiver. I have to think did I really write that? I've thought of burning them because it's apart of me that I am not pleased about but look to keep it has my reminder of growth. Some days I feel has though I have failed both of my friends and it hurts more than it shows. I never wanted to continue my studies at university, my health was horrible I felt has though I was so close to death and that is not an exaggeration. My vision was suffering, very low blood count, coupled with low blood pressure and acute gastritis. I spent most of my time saying God why?! But after the experience I am grateful. Grateful for the new experience in my arsenal. You can read about suicide cases or have a pretend sessions has a Counseling or Psychology Major but there is nothing like hands on experience. I am grateful for my greater trust and faith in God. I spent my time trying to fix and figure things on my own and not solely with him in charge.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am grateful for the stories that I can share. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some gifts are not wrapped in the prettiest papers. They sometimes come tattered and in ugly looking wrapping paper. But ultimately the joy and the message is on the inside only if you're willing to open it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you know someone who may be suicidal or have suicidal thoughts please seek assistance. You may just save their lives and your mental health. Do not try to fix this issue on your own if you are not competence in the helping profession. Let us continue to pray for our friends, family and other people across the world.</div>

Hey guys! This is Victoria Sallie from the<span style="color: magenta;"> <a href="http://www.tressesandtreats.com/"><span style="color: magenta;">Tresses and Treats blog</span></a></span>. You know that product that you buy on a whim and it winds up sitting in your product stash for months on end? That's what I experienced with the Alikay Naturals Aloe Berry Gel. I purchased the sample size during their Cyber Monday sale after Thanksgiving, and barely touched it until recently. Here were my thoughts:</div>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><u>Ingredients</u>:<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Aloe Vera, Infused with essential oils and Berries, Botanical blend, Coconut Oil, Almond Oil , Natural fragrance</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">I love the ingredients included in this product, because it doesn't contain any harsh chemicals. I just wish that it had more consistency to it (I don't </span></span><span style="line-height: 16px;">know, it's a mental thing!)</span></span></li>
<li>It has a pleasant smell and a very light consistency. It's not thick like Eco Styler gel; in fact it favors the Kinky Curly Custard.</li>
<li>I used this gel for both wash n go and for a twist out. I noticed that it made my hair feel kind of crunchy if I applied too much.</li>
<li>This product definitely kept my hair shiny, which I was grateful for.</li>
<li>I like using this product to slick down my edges and 'baby hairs' lol. I apply a little bit, brush the hairs down in place, and secure with a scarf for a few minutes (or overnight). It looks soft and natural the next day.</li>
<li>I don't think that I would buy this again because I don't like the consistency of it. It's too thin, and I feel like I wind up using more to make sure that my hair comes out well.</li>
<li>I caught this product on sale & I bought the sample, but I don't think it's worth $10 for an 8oz container. I spent like $4 on my Eco Styler gel last year and it's still thriving to this day.</li>
<li>Sizes:</li>
<ul>
<li>8oz: $10</li>
<li>16oz: $18</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>

It's official summer starts tomorrow! Has school, work, wind and everything in between given you a beat down? Well, I got you. Before you decide to book out your summer days; give your face a pick me up with this easy facial.<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
<br />
Egg white of one egg<br />
2 tbsps of cornmeal<br />
7 drops of Rose hip oil (or oil of choice)<br />
2 drops of Vanilla essential (or scent of choice)<br />
<br />
Mess level:<br />
Minimal<br />
<i><br /></i>1. Poke a small hole into your egg and allow the white to drain in a container. Do not discard of the yolk you can use it for a cake or simply scramble it.<br />
2. Add cornmeal, rose hip oil and vanilla.<br />
3. Combine. The texture of this will be a paste. (Smells like cake if you use vanilla essential)<br />
4. Apply to face and neck.<br />
5. Gently massage face and neck while the scrub is still on<br />
6. Allow to dry onto face. You'll know when it's time to wash your face has you'll experience stiffness of the face. Also the scrub will be less sticky and more dry to the touch.<br />
7. Rinse scrub from face and proceed with one's respective facial regime.<br />
<br />
Viola.<br />
Rose hip oil is a nourishing oil that assists with damage and cell renewal. It was noted that it's a big plus in helping with wrinkles. Egg whites rids large pores, rashes, fine lines and maintains the elasticity of the skin. Cornmeal exfoliates. Vanilla essential was added to cut down on the scent of the egg.<br />
<br />
Happy facial<br />
God bless you<br />

But if you are guilty like I am for neglecting your hair because of being so busy then this treatment will be the greatest apology. Three simple ingredients with the most amazing properties. Mayonnaise, mulberry and mangoes. What! Yes. Mayonnaise is excellent for moisturizing the hair, protecting it from sun damage, restoring ph balance and stopping breakage. Mulberry rejuvenates the hair follicles; this is especially recommended for cancer patients who have done chemotherapy. In addition to rejuvenating, it retains one's natural hair colour. An absolute plus for premature graying. Mangoes are filled with vitamin A and E which treat dandruff and encourages scalp circulation. Now that I've told you about all their goodness, let's make it.<br />
<br />
You will need:<br />
1/2 cup of mayonnaise<br />
1/3 cup of mulberries<br />
1/3 cup mango (flesh)<br />
1 tsp of shea butter (optional)<br />
4 drops of rosemary essential or oil of choice (for scent)<br />
<br />
Mess Level: High<br />
<br />
1. Place the mayonnaise, mulberry and mango in a blender and thoroughly combine.<br />
2. Mix in shea butter and essential oil.<br />

This treatment is definitely a protein-moisture treatment but following up with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner is very important. The hair will feel strong and straw-like so that balance is needed. This treatment is especially beneficial if you intend on heat styling, the end results are strong, smooth and soft hair. Additionally, running this through a strainer or Muslim cloth to remove any excess debris.<br />
<br />
Happy Deep Conditioning<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi everyone! I recently had the opportunity to try out three products from the <a href="http://parnevu.com/extra-dry" target="_blank">Parnevu Extra Dry Line</a>, and I chose the <a href="http://parnevu.com/extra-dry/ExtraDrySalonShampoo" target="_blank">Salon Shampoo</a>, <a href="http://parnevu.com/extra-dry/ExtraDryAfterShampooConditioner" target="_blank">After Shampoo Conditioner</a>, and the <a href="http://parnevu.com/extra-dry/ExtraDryScalpTherapy" target="_blank">Scalp Therapy</a>. I figured you guys had seen enough of my hair, so I decided to display the review on my sister's hair, but I also tested out the products on mine as well.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my sister has been transitioning since December '13, and her hair hadn't been washed or detangled for about 2 months. She's in the fourth grade, and her hair still accumulates a lot of dirt from recess and exercising during the week.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PARNEVU Extra Dry Salon Shampoo</b>: The shampoo had a light consistency, and suds. It didn't strip her hair, and I found it to be very moisturizing, Although this shampoo contains sulfates, I could've sworn it didn't, while I used it on her hair and mine. It also cleansed her hair thoroughly and left no build up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PARNEVU Extra Dry After-Shampoo Conditioner</b>: This one my hair absolutely disliked, but my sister's transitioning hair really liked it. I was inspired to try it on hers, mostly because the product just has that texture that lets you know it would work on smoother or finer hair, and her's is definitely smoother compared to mine, and of a finer texture. It easily detangled her hair, and I was impressed with how the comb glided through, because detangling is hardly a breeze when it comes to her hair.</div>

<b>PARNEVU Extra Dry Scalp Therapy</b>: This one was both our favorites, it was super moisturizing, had a ton of slip, and she sad her hair felt like cotton candy. and mine felt great. It is originally meant for the scalp, and I did try it on mine while my scalp was severely itchy, and it helped a lot, but sadly the next day I had a ton of build up. So we started using it as a leave in on the length of our hair instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shampoo and conditioner did smell like a neutralizing shampoo, which I didn't like, but I did love the smell of the Dry Scalp Therapy. My intention was to deep condition her hair after rinsing out the conditioner, but the line was super moisturizing, that I ended up applying the scalp therapy as a leave in, and sealed with a mix of amla and argan oils. </div>

You're probably thinking why I chose the title lol. </div>

Well people wear all black to a funeral, and I chose to accentuate the color nude, so hence "Bury Me Nude" (I'm so lame) </div>
