Crown Pride Naturals

Hey lovely people! It’s a hot day here in the UK, how you spending it? Whatever you’re doing, don’t forget that sunscreen (unless you’re at work like me lool) and enjoy! It will probably rain soon lool.

Any hooo, I am back with another UK based natural hair collection! It’s been a while huh? From the results I have gotten so far from my Laika Project (Thank you for those who have taken part so far! If you haven’t already, you can take the survey here >> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1k9hvKmw3wjICTL-rFAqo3XxF29eO5l9MzJXeI1X1W8w/viewform?c=0&w=1 )it seems that most of us in the UK are not even aware of the UK brands out there that cater to us. This is where I come in. I have featured a few UK based brands that offer natural hair care products right here on my blog for you to check out! Look under the product collections tab for all of them!

Today is no different, we will be focusing on Crown Pride Naturals, a UK based company offering products for our hair texture. As always I will be showing you where to get them (because it seems that is a problem too for us) and any reviews on the products! Ready? Let’s get started

So they have a few products designed to help you from start to finish on your wash day.

Cleansers

Olive conditioning shampoo

Conditioners

Argan smoothing conditioner

Avocado detangling conditioner

Tucuma curl moisture mask

Leave in conditioners

Cream conditioning mist

Organic hair milk

Stylers and polishers

Nilotica and mango buttercream

Curl cream gel

Curl control styling puree

Shea and hemp whipped butter

Monoi hair pomade

Japanese camellia kissi oil

They also have collection packs targeting different hair problems. It’s the same products as above

Maximum hydration collection ft. the shampoo and all 3 conditioners

Smooth and repair collection

Style and polish collection ft. all the stylers in their range

They also have travel packs which have been divided into two types: Rich for thicker and tighter curls or Light for wavy or looser curls. Both packs contain 3 or 4 stylers. I actually think this is excellent value for money as you get to try out some products before fully investing into a bigger size!

Reviews, I have been able to find one video on the avocado detangling conditioner. I have also contacted them to see if they can provide any products for a review, if they do or whatever the case I will let you know! Make sure you are following me on my Instagram or twitter; they are probably the best places to find out!

So the price point: it’s very affordable and won’t cost you an arm and a leg lol. You can purchase their full collection online on their website >> http://crownpride.co.uk/Store/index.php?route=common/home , you can also purchase on British Curlies >>http://shop.britishcurlies.co.uk/categories/Crown-Pride/

That’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed this post. I am really on a mission to find as many UK based natural hair collections as possible and let you guys know about them! I am also transitioning to only UK based hair products Enjoy the rest of the day and if you have already do take part in my survey; I need as many responses as possible!

Until next time

ORS Natural Hair Care

Hey family, so this will be the last post in our ORS miniseries, have you been keeping up so far? Let’s take a look at the previous collections:

Shealicious > http://wp.me/p1uQOd-F0 Curls Unleashed >> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-F3

Monoi oil >> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-Fr HAIRepair > http://wp.me/p1uQOd-FC

This collection, Natural Hair Care helps you manage your styles like braids, plaits and locks. It’s been created with botanicals that directly treat the causes of hair and scalp problems.

The full collection is

Herbal Cleanse
Lock and twist gel
Nature’s shine
Anti-itch scalp oil
Shea butter moisturising lotion
Jojoba oil
Tea tree oil
Coconut oil

I think everyone has used the coconut oil from this range! Before we jumped on the coconut oil hype, when we just wanted hair cream, didn’t we just reach for this one? Lool. I have personally used this, the nature’s shine spray (I loved the smell and it did a great job of adding shine to my braids) and the herbal cleanse which has a tingling sensation also was effective it removing some light dandruff I had when I cleansed my hair with clay but it didn’t removed all the dirt/buildup.

Let’s see what others are saying

Great video featuring most of the products

I don’t think we need a video on the other 3.

That’s all folks. I hope you enjoyed this miniseries, let me know if you have any questions or comments. Here in the UK you can purchase the full collection and many of their other products online at Beauty by Zara >> http://www.beautybyzara.com/ors-1/

Until next time,

Love

SHEA MOISTURE JAMAICAN BLACK CASTOR OIL

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. If you’re new here, I hope you love the new website! For my loyal subbies how are you loving the new site? Let me know in the comments below!

So this post will be part of the Shea Moisture mini- series currently on the blog! This time we are talking about their Jamaican black castor oil collection that aims to nourish, repair, grow, fortify and renew your hair while encouraging healthy growth. It is recommended for all hair types including heat styled, natural and transitioning air. It also aims to restore dry, brittle and damaged hair.

The full collection has 6 products:

Jamaican black castor oil strengthen, grow and restore leave in conditioner
Jamaican black castor oil strengthen, grow and restore styling lotion
Jamaican black castor oil strengthen, grow and restore hair serum
Jamaican black castor oil strengthen, grow and restore edge treatment
Jamaican black castor oil strengthen, grow and restore treatment mask
Jamaican black castor oil strengthen, grow and restore shampoo

So I just noticed it doesn’t have a regular/rinse out conditioner but I guess we naturals prefer a deep masque/ conditioner instead right? Lol. I really love jbco and I swear by it to thicken your hair and re grow your edges. I am definitely putting this collection on my to-try list!

Review time!

As always I have to let you guys know where you can get the full collection in the UK. I got you. The full collection of the jbco line and many of their other collections can be bought from British Curlies > http://shop.britishcurlies.co.uk/categories/SheaMoisture/?sort=featured&page=3 .

We have two more posts in this mini-series (boooo, noooo): the Tahitian noni and monoi collection and the Manuka honey and mafura oil collection. For more information on the jbco line or any others please visit the Shea moisture website http://www.sheamoisture.com/Hair_c_15.html

That’s all folks! Let me know our thoughts on the shea moisture collections and my new website! Love you all, I hope you have a great week and see you soon!

SHEA MOISTURE COCONUT AND HIBISCUIS

Hey guys! You guessed it! I am finally doing a post on the shea moisture collection! I wanted to branch out and feature brands that we may have not heard off or brands we tend not to reach for in the shops often but I guess I won’t be doing you guys justice if I don’t feature Shea Moisture. They have a lot of collections so we will be doing a mini-series about them! Hands up if you are a shea moisture virgin? #inevertriedsheamosituredontkillme LOL. Yes I have never had any of their products before (Gurl where you been? You have been disqualified from the product junkie group LOL). Anyway to my knowledge and correct me you shea moisture gurus lol they have:

African black soap collection
Superfruit complex collection
Coconut and hibiscus collection
Raw shea butter collection
Yucca and plantain collection
Jamaican black castor oil collection
Manuka honey and mafura oil collection
Tahitian noni and monoi collection

So we will be doing these collections separately starting with the coconut and hibiscus collection which will be todays post. From my research I really want to try the raw shea butter and jbco lines. Anyway let’s get into today’s post!

So this line was created specifically to reduce frizz, smooth and add curl definition back to thick, curly hair. It also helps to restore moisture, body and shine for healthy, bouncy curls. Main ingredients are

Coconut oil which hydrates and protects hair whilst reducing breakage
Silk protein which smoothes hair for a silky soft feel
Neem oil which controls frizz while adding brilliant shine

It’s a good sized collection featuring

Coconut and hibiscus gel soufflé
Coconut and hibiscus curl and shine shampoo
Coconut and hibiscus curl and style milk
Coconut and hibiscus hold and shine moisture mist
Coconut and hibiscus curl enhancing smoothie ( probably the most popular in this range)
Coconut and hibiscus frizz free curl mousse
Coconut and hibiscus curl and shine conditioner
Coconut and hibiscus co wash conditioning cleanser

I am a big fan of their packing and colour scheme lol anyway its review time!

So let me know what you guys think and if you use this your favourite product in the collection. Here in the UK you can purchase everything expect for the frizz free curl mouse on British Curlies >> http://shop.britishcurlies.co.uk/categories/SheaMoisture/

For more info on this line, please visit the Shea Moisture website > http://www.sheamoisture.com/Coconut-Hibiscus_c_118.html

That’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed this and looking forward to the other collections!

Until next time

DARK AND LOVELY ANTI SHRINKAGE COLLECTION

Hey guys, welcome back

As promised this is the second post on the dark and lovely au naturale hair products. The first post on their moisture L.O.C. collection can be viewed here>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-AU .Their anti-shrinkage line promises to reduce shrinkage and elongate your curls. I mean if you have type 4 hair especially you know about shrinkage #shrinkageisreal. Some of us, aka me lol wants to avoid shrinkage as much as possible. I mean I don’t mind a little bit of shrinkage but not full blown shrinkage if you know what I mean. My hair is VERY prone to tangles and breakage when it shrinks and I really don’t have the time to detangling etc.

Anyway this collection has a lot of products, mostly styling products so let’s get into it

Beyond gentle and sulfate free wash
Knout out conditioner
Cleansing conditioner
Easy twist gel and butter
Coil moisturizing soufflé
No crunch nourishing pomade
Knot out conditioner
Slick slip leave in conditioner
10 in 1 styles gelee
Hydrating soak shampoo
Sheen sealing nectar
Curl defining crème glaze

So yes, it’s definitely a big one, unfortunately I can’t show all the pictures lol, because I am actually running out of space on my WordPress storage lool. Some of the products can be purchased from British Curlies>> http://shop.britishcurlies.co.uk/dark-and-lovely-au-naturale/

Time for some reviews

What’s the verdict? Let me know what you guys think. Are you using this line, if so what is your experience so far? So the 3^rd and final collection is their anti-breakage collection which will be coming soon.

Until then

Love

Sarah
