Best Natural hair products of 2018

 

This year I have tried some really good natural hair products and it’s only fair I did a best natural hair products edit for you! I have had some haircare brand overviews (Shea Moisture, Palmers) so make sure you also check those posts.

Cleansers

I have used a lot of shampoos and co-washes but the ones that really stand out are the Palmer’s Olive Oil Smoothing ShampooGarnier Mystic Olive Oil Shampoo and the As I am Long and Luxe Co-wash– this is a very recent favourite but the scent and the performance definitely won me over!

Conditioners

If you know me, you know I love a good conditioner! Something with a lot of slip for detangling but also something that actually softens, moisturises and repairs my hair. I love the Aphogee Keratin 2 min reconstructor. It’s such a quick and easy treatment for brittle hair. The ORS Monoi Oil Conditioner is a lovely one to use as well. Again I have to give it to Palmer’s Olive Oil Replenishing Conditioner

Leave in/ Moisturisers

I love a good leave in and its one step I never skip! I love the Shea Moisturiser 100% Virgin coconut oil leave-in treatment! Not only does this smell lovely but it actually works! Crème of Nature Argan Oil Leave in is always a pleasure to use. I also love the Modie Haircare moisturising hair crème. It deeply moisturises my 4c natural and helps to soften it.

 

Prepoo treatments/oils

I love hot oil treatments as a pre-poo treatment as I love the Sunny Isle Jamaican Black castor oil mixed with sweet almond oil. I also used a sample of Kera Care Thermal Wonder Prepoo treatment and when I tell you that thing is amazing! Believe! Softens, detangles and preps the driest of hairs for shampooing!

Styling

Unfortunately, braid outs, twist outs and all the other outs do not work for me, actually I can never get them right lol so I don’t do these. I prefer my hair stretched and in a simple bun or flat twists because it’s easier to manage and my hair tangles/ sheds less when its stretched. I have loved the classic sleek bun and wore this more in the last 2 months of the year. The two products that helped me achieve this were the Eco Styler olive oil styling gel and the Murray’s black beeswax. This combo didn’t give me flakes and leave my hair dry compared to when I used the gel alone. This somewhat reduces waves but if you want a super slick bun just don’t use a product with a lot of water in it: something like edge control or beeswax will help you achieve that look

That’s all folks! These are some of the items that has helped with my hair. I realise I don’t do enough haircare posts any more but I will bring that back in 2019!

What are some of your fav natural hair products? Let me know

Crème of Nature Argan Oil Moisture and Shine Shampoo Review

 

Crème of Nature has been a brand that’s been around for a while! I love their products especially the Argan Oil Collection! It performs well and it smells great. Whilst I haven’t tried a lot of products from the brand, what I have tried I have loved! One of my fav spray leave-in conditioners is from Crème of Nature, check out the review here

Today’s post will be a full review on the Crème of Nature Argan Oil Moisture and Shine Shampoo. This is a sulfate free shampoo that promises to gently cleanse the hair, help detangle whilst adding shine, softness and strength to the hair. It’s been formulated with Argan oil from Morocco.

Experience

I have had this shampoo for a while and I have been using it on and off as I had older products to get through. For the last month and a half though, I have been using it consistently and I am now out of it. This shampoo has the same great scent as the rest of the products in the Argan Oil collection.

The shampoo has a thick consistency and a fair amount gives a lot of suds. I really like this shampoo because it really softens my hair. I have been wearing my hair out a lot lately and been quite lazy to moisturise it, actually I have chosen a slick bun as my protective style so it’s quite difficult to properly moisture without having to take it apart and start again so it’s safe to say going into my weekly wash days, my hair has been dry. The shampoo gently cleanses my hair and scalp and softens it.

In terms of detangling, I think this shampoo provided enough slip for finger detangling which I absolutely love. It always makes subsequent detangling with conditioner and a comb easier and quicker even when my hair is tangled quite a bit. I think I took a while to use it because it thought it wasn’t suitable for natural hair so I was only using it on my wigs for a while. It also performed really well on them

Verdict

An excellent choice of shampoo for all hair textures including natural hair. I really like how it softens my hair and helps me detangle it. The scent is a bonus. One thing I will comment though is the texture of the shampoo changed in the last few months I was using it HOWEVER I have also used it on and off for 2 years (don’t judge me) or maybe longer and once a product is opened there is a best before time period to use it by. It still worked absolutely fine anyway but just something to note if you have had this shampoo for a while and it looks like it has changed textured.

I will recommend this.

Crème of Nature Argan Oil Moisture and Shine Shampoo is £4.99 at Superdrug

CANTU FOR NATURAL HAIR COLLECTION

cantu_product_2

Hey guys! Welcome back. This post will be on the Cantu for natural hair product collection. It’s a very exciting range with lots of goodies and we are going to talk about them (even though I don’t own all of them lol) and where possible, I will include links on reviews or demos from YouTube so you don’t have to do all that work! Excited? Let’s get started!

So the full product range includes

  1. Sulfate free cleansing cream shampoo
  2. Complete conditioning co wash
  3. Deep conditioning treatment masque
  4. Coil calm detangler
  5. Leave in conditioning cream
  6. Creamy hair lotion
  7. Coconut curling cream
  8. Define and shine custard
  9. Moisturising curl activator cream
  10. Moisturising twist and lock gel
  11. Coconut milk shine and hold mist

That’s a whole bunch of products! I like this because it has everything from shampoo to deep conditioners and styling options.  I have 3 of them: the co-wash, leave in conditioner and the hair lotion. My fav is the creamy hair lotion. That stuff is the bomb.com and let me not start on the smell! So nice! It really softens the hair and leaves it moisturised! I love the leave in too. I use it as part of my L.O.C method after washing. For ultimate curl moisture, I use the leave in on soaking wet hair and seal with my shea butter mix, twist and let air dry. The next day I take it down and add a bit of creamy lotion and boom softness and moisture for daysss. The co wash I am torn on, maybe I need to use it more. I mean it cleansed my scalp but I didn’t notice anything amazing afterwards.

my cantu collection
my cantu collection

The leave in cream for naturals is a bit different from the regular version, the one we all know and love. This one contains no mineral oil, parabens, sulfate etc. make the switch if you haven’t already!

Difference

So that’s it for my reviews on the products I own. I have searched wide and combed through thousands of footage for… lool, the hell am I on about? Here are some links I found useful on YouTube on the products. There is nothing worse than watching a video and realising it wasn’t what you were looking for. Please note most of these if not all are videos from the US. I’m not sure if we have all the products here in the UK because I couldn’t see some of the ones mentioned on the Cantu website where I got the product list.

Video links

Entire product range

Coconut curling cream

Moisturising curl activator and define and shine custard

Conditioner, mist and lotion

Twist and lock gel, treatment masque and coconut curling cream

That’s all folks! I hope someone found this useful. If you are transitioning and wondering what products are out there for naturals I hope this gives you an idea of some. I will be doing loads more of these so stay tuned! Here in the UK, you can purchase the full range online at BeautyByZara, link >> http://www.beautybyzara.com/cantu/

Some new and exciting products in the pipeline are

Extra hold edge stay gel

Comeback curl

Wave whip curling mousse

PhotoGrid_1435600856544

I think these or some have been released in the US already but definitely not in the UK at the moment otherwise if you spot it let me know. Also let me know of any videos you find useful and I will update the post accordingly.

Until next time

BIOTIN 1 MONTH UPDATE

It’s officially spring! And almost Easter!

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well and has had a fantastic week! I just quickly wanted to do a one month update on my biotin hair challenge so let’s dive right into it! But first check out my previous posts for more information on my hair journey and past challenges!

Hair growth 101 & 102 >>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qx , http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qM

Hairfinity final update>>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-re

Introduction to biotin>>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-rn

PhotoGrid_1426819839548
left-biotin , right- hairfinity measurements

 

It looks like I didn’t have that much growth and here’s why. I trimmed my ends after my hairfinity measurements and I FORGOT (more like I was lazy and in a hurry) to measure them again. I would say I cut off about 1 to 2 inches of hair. With that been said I still feel like I have experienced some growth. I added Sunny isle’s Jamaican black castor oil on the 1st of March to help my hair get THICKERRR (yass hunty the bigger the better and closer to heaven! Jheez!) So I will also keep up updated on that

In terms of any side effects etc. After two weeks, I did notice my nails were stronger and looked healthier. I previously had my acrylics done and kept them for about 6 weeks (I do not recommend, again I was lazy, wait I had exams! Perfect excuse!)  And when I took them off my nail bed wasn’t too happy about that.  So they biotin really helped my nails grow and become stronger. In terms of breakage, I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary apart from my usual break outs when I’m stressed etc no extras. I have been drinking at least 1 litre of water daily which may have contributed to that but there has also been some days where I have slacked on that big time! My skin looked a bit brighter too.

I read on Amazon (reviews for this brand of biotin) that it really helped with their energy levels throughout the day and people were swearing by this etc but for me I didn’t really notice a change. On two occasions I took the pills quite late in the evening and I had difficulty sleeping but I find it hard to sleep anyway. On two different occasions I took the pills in the morning after breakfast and didn’t really see that much of a difference in my energy levels during the day although sometimes around 4/5 pm I get really tired (because my body thinks it’s had enough but it doesn’t know I am the master lool, you wanna sleep now but be awake at 3 am, nah sweetie) And this time around I wasn’t so tired? Hmm. I will keep experimenting with this and let you know the out. I don’t really mind if it doesn’t help my energy levels or not because the primary purpose of getting the biotin was for my hair but I guess this could be an added benefit. I will keep you posted!

I also did a mini experiment to see how long it takes for the biotin to break down in the body so I sacrificed one pill and timed how long it look to dissolve in water. After 24 hours it had pretty much dissolved but there was still some ‘white residue’ at the bottom of the glass, so that if you stirred it you could see the particles. I did take some pictures but they turned out really horrible so unfortunately I won’t post them, but I am hoping to repeat the experiment again and let you know the outcome. However the problem I had with that is 1. How long the biotin is ‘sitting’ around in my body for and 2. Just water alone is not an accurate presentation of the conditions in a cell (don’t let me go full scientist on y’all. You aint ready. Team scientist by day, blogger by night, poet by 3am LOL)

*thinking of anything else, in the meantime here is picture of a RAINBOW UNICORN NINJA*

Rainbow-Unicorns-rainbow-unicorns-25088320-1024-628

*nope! Epic fail*

That’s all folks! It’s been a positive first month for me and I am hoping for it to continue. I did cut off 2 inches again (I maybe growing through something major if am not afraid of cutting my hair like this!) so my next update may not look like much! Please, please follow me on instagram so I can keep you updated with products, discounts etc – sarahfynn.

Apologies for this late post and minimal activity on this blog, uni been CRAZY! Final 4 weeks! BUT I have so much planned for this summer!

Have a fantastic day and enjoy your weekend and please remember just because its sunny that don’t mean pull out your denim shorts haha

Love Sarah

just because am feeling this picture!

SLEEK LIPSTICK SWATCHES

20150301_192308

Hey guys hope everyone is doing well! HAPPY NEW MONTH!

I wanted to take a break from constant uni work (countdown 2 more months to finish!) and hair posts (not everydayhairpostsometimesmakeup LOL) and do something different (looks around my room for inspiration) so I decided to do a sleek lipstick collection and swatches. I did a post previous (link here to view it>>http://wp.me/p1uQOd-nV ) and it was my sleek make up collection not a big one and it’s a start. This is a kind of updated version but with lipsticks only.

I had fun doing this post but my lips are killing me! (Softly) I am also using descriptions from the sleek makeup site because honestly I can’t describe the shades (LOL) to save my life!. I didn’t use any lipliners so you can see the true colour.

If you’re from instagram hey guurl! (Make sure you followed me and like my little flipgram as a little preview to this post. If you’re just reading this, please check out my instagram page- @sarahfynn. I will keep you updated with my blog, hair/beauty products and other shenanigans

Let’s get started.

First here is what SleekMakeup have to say about their lipsticks:

‘Get high impact lips with True Colour Lipstick in a gorgeous matte and sheen finishes in a variety of shades that are highly pigmented, and conditioning to keep lips soft and supple. Enriched with vitamin E helping to hydrate and protect the lips. Comfortable to wear and glides on with ease this is the must have to awaken your makeup look.’

What I LOVE about Sleek Makeup is the price- everything from foundations to lipsticks are so affordable and very good quality. The matte black packaging makes it look really expensive. Their lipsticks are highly pigmented with a huge variety of shades to suit every skin tone. The price? £4.99

Tip- sign up to their newsletter. From time to time they offer discounts e.g. 20% off or 2 for 1 deals and that’s how I got all my stuff from them! (I am yet to try their eye shadow pallets, I have heard great reviews about them but since I’m not a great fan of eye shadows… hmmm)

Beware there is a lot of me feeling myself pictures (lol), bangs over one eye and general neekiness lol. And this is going to be a long post

HAIRFINITY FINAL UPDATE AND THOUGHTS- 3MONTHS CHALLENGE

20150213_103229

They say all good things must come to an end. Yh it’s the end of my 3 month hairfinity challenge! I have been getting a lot of questions about the product and I will try my best to fit as much information into this post without it been very long. The question on everyone’s lips

DOES HAIRFINITY WORK?

Well let’s find out. You can check out my previous updates on it by clicking the links below:

Month 1- http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qe

Month 2- http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qh

So the final month, what did I experience?

Well for starters, I was a bit worried about coming off hairfinity and not retaining my length. So what I did was to prolong my last bottle for as long as possible, hence finishing this in February instead of January. Did I experience growth in this month? Check out my final measurements below

Screenshot_2015-02-13-17-36-51

Let’s address the important points

Side effects?

One thing I was worried about is breaking out really bad whilst I was on hairfinity. I did drink 1litre of water daily to try and combat that. Results? Apart from my usual breakouts, I didn’t really experience anything major.  I have friends who didn’t really change their water intake and were fine; no breakouts so I think side effects will vary from person to person. My advice? – check the ingredients and do your research

Hairfinity is expensive, is it really worth it? Does it live up to its hype?

My goal for starting hairfinity was to notice a difference in the LENGTH of my hair. HOWEVER I have noticed a lot of difference in the THICKNESS of my hair. I already knew my hair was thick so I didn’t think it could get any thicker( I really don’t know why I thought that lol) but that’s where I noticed a lot of difference. I did get some added length but as you can see its nothing to write home about.

But then again everyone is different so you may notice more length than thickness or vice versa or even nothing at all.

Shedding?

In my 1st and final months, I experienced less shedding than usual. In my 2nd month my hair shed a lot (and I remember not taking hairfinity religiously like in my 1st month maybe that’s why)

Anything else?

My hair is softer for sure. I did also start a no heat challenge whilst on hairfinity so maybe that helped. I used to blow dry my hair every time I washed it so it was really brittle and dry and probably heat damaged.  My hair feels stronger and healthier now

I did blow dry (medium heat, 10% air dried) my hair today to really stretch it out so I could measure it but my hair is still soft and feels healthy. I am starting a new growth out challenge so I am going back to letting my hair air dry after I wash it.

Final thoughts.

20150213_170222 (1) 20150213_170204

Will I recommend hairfinity?

Hmm. Yes I would BUT I would say get a 3 month supply at least. I feel like you will benefit more from taking it over a longer period of time than to get a month’s supply. Obviously it’s quite expensive so I suggest you follow them on instagram where they regularly post discount counts etc. (budget-savvy girls holla!)

For the natural hair ladies wondering if it would work on your hair type/texture- YES.

So that’s it folks! My final length check and thoughts on hairfinity. As I said earlier, I am starting a new grow out challenge so I will be bring the details pretty soon.

Make sure you subscribe to keep updated with my new posts and if there is anything in particular you would like me to try out drop me an email (as long as it’s within reason lol)

Have a lovely day and please no one spoil 50 shades of grey for me

EMPIRE MADE ME POST THIS LATE!

Happy Valentine’s Day. xoxo

HAIR GROWTH 102- SUPPLEMENTS

hairchart

 

Hi guys, happy new month! I hope everyone is doing great and enjoyed their first day of Feb! To all my final year students, 3 months to go!!

SO as I stated on my previous post (check it out > HAIR GROWTH 101- OILS >> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qx), I am on a journey to get to minimise bsl by the end of this year. My true goal is to get to waist length hair.

During the course of this journey and however long it will take, I will be trying different products and methods whilst inventing some of my own (fingers crossed LOL). So this post today is a summary of the different growth supplements that claim to grow your hair quickly! I have used some and I am planning on moving on to some of these as well. As always I will provide links of any relevant videos/websites etc that I found useful and hopefully some of you will find it useful as well.

Let’s get started

HAIRFINITY

hp-unique-formula

Of course I had to start with hairfinity. Holy grail hair vitamins with celebrity endorsements and thousands of women including myself testifying of its benefits! (LOL) you can check out my previous posts on hairfinity

Introduction to hairfinity>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-py ( I added links to some really good videos/reviews on hairfinity, check them out!)

Month 1 update > http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qe , Month 2 update > http://wp.me/p1uQOd-qh

I am on a 3 month hairfinity challenge. My last month is taking a bit longer than usual but I am hoping to finish this month and write my final thoughts on it! But so far so good. It’s a bit pricey, about £24.99 per bottle plus £10 p&p.  However if you follow them on instagram, they regularly post discount codes on there.

MANE CHOICE: MANETABOLISIM

manechoice

 

Another popular healthy hair vitamin. To my knowledge it works the same way as hairfinity. I havenot tried this yet but there are numerous videos that compare both products and discus their results. I can’t say for sure if one is better than the other however if they both claim to grow your hair and they both work, who cares? (Obviously product junkies/ brand conscious folk like me!)

The Mane Choice Update: Month two>> http://youtu.be/Frx42HciYT4

Vitamin Challenge: Mane Choice vs. Hairfinity>> http://youtu.be/SCXz9T2Ascs

BIOTIN

biotin

This is something I want to move onto after I finish my last bottle of hairfinity. Biotin is a water soluble vitamin with many functions including maintaining normal skin, hair and nails. Many foods naturally contain biotin however to really notice a difference in your hair growth; you need to up your intake. I am planning on starting out with 1,000mg (potency) and hopefully increase it in the next couple of months. Higher potencies are generally safe with no side effects AS LONG AS YOU DRINK ENOUGH WATER, I’M TALKING 1 LITRE PLUS! Compared to the other two hair vitamins its relatively cheap- about £14.99 depending on where you get it from. I will be getting my from Holland and Barrett >> http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/holland-barrett-biotin-tablets-1000ug-60007961 ( its on sale now in shop and online, so if you were thinking of purchasing, now would be a great time). You can also get much higher potencies from Amazon.

Natrol Biotin 10,000mcg, Maximum Strength, 100 Tablets [Kitchen]

Swanson Biotin 5000mcg (5mg, 100 Capsules)

From what I have gathered from research, the pills are quite small and easy to swallow, for me pill size is not a problem, but some of y’alllll (lol).  Many videos on YouTube with amazing results on hair and nails. Side effects are minimal and any experienced is when they don’t drink enough water. Obviously if you are allergic to biotin, it’s a different story….  Other women also combine it with other multivitamins to prevent breakouts. I am not sure how products containing biotin will work in relation to hair growth.

Final thoughts

This is just a beginners list. I am sure there are numerous infact thousands of hair supplements out there (who needs a looong list?) I chose these 3 because they seem to be the most popular with the most information on the net (what I really mean is YouTube, I could be wrong though). Just make sure you have REALISTIC goals for these products. NOTHING is going to grow your hair overnight!
