Let’s take a look at the videos, I tried to get as many covering different products as most of the ones I found were on the condish cubes.

Anyways what do you guys think? Anita Grant is based here in the UK for those of you wondering. For more information or to make a purchase please visit the website> http://anitagrant.com/ . Most of the products come in smaller sizes if you wanted to test them out before getting a full sized product. i got the pictures from their facebook page

Let me if you have any of these products

Until next time

LoveShea

Hey my loves, guess what I have another UK based product collection! this time we are talking about natural skincare products. LoveShea provides products with natural and certified organic ingredients, so you know its the real deal. For my green savvy naturalists, their loyalty scheme encourages recycling. I share her philosophy of going back to basics and re discovering ingredients from childhood. I am re discovering the great benefits of African black soap and my skin is thanking me for it!

In this post, we will look at the full skincare collection and where to purchase it. Let’s get started. LoveShea provides whipped Shea butters and body scrubs and African black soap. You can use the butters for both hair and skin!

The full collection is

Whipped Shea butters

LoveShea whipped Shea butter
LoveShea chocolate fudge whipped Shea butter
LoveShea key lime pie whipped Shea butter
LoveShea bake well tart whipped Shea butter

Scrubs

Ginger and orange moisturising sugar scrub
coconut and lime moisturising sugar scrub

Ok, so don’t they sound like a trio of desserts?! LOL. I can imagine these smelling very lovely on the skin! I haven’t used any of the products yet… Look out for a review soon though!
I was able to find a review from Rachy from Ukafrolista, watch it below

I am currently using African black soap, although its not from LoveShea, authentic African black soap will perform the same! so why should you purchase this and use it? read my post on it here >> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-DJ

Motions Natural Textures

Hey my loves!

We have another product collection! We are talking about Motions for natural textures product collection! Yes Motions have a collection for natural hair now and I am here as always to give you the full product collection, plus reviews plus where to purchase in the UK. Let’s get to it

The full collection:

Straight Finish cleanser
Moisturising cleanser
Straight finish leave in conditioner
Smoothing conditioner
Deep conditioning mask
Straight finish sealer
Define my curls creme
Hydrate my curls pudding
Radiating hair gloss

I think their website needs updating, because they also have a pre wash detangling butter that’s not showing up on their website. I think this product is quite new. I have used 3 products from this line: the pre wash detangling butter, the deep conditioning mask and the hydrate my curls pudding. I have reviews for them, check them out below

Pre-wash detangling butter>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-t7

Deep conditioning mask>> http://wp.me/p1uQOd-tc

The hydrate my curls pudding I have used it and it worked well to define my braid out. So now let’s talk reviews, is it worth it?

From my experience with their products, I say they are good however the size is a big let-down. The prewash detangling butters only lasted me two washes, one for each so if you did a cost analysis lol, it would work out cheaper to get a regular conditioner which will be bigger and last longer anyway. The same goes for the deep conditioning mask.

That’s all for the motions natural textures line. Let me know if you use any of these products and how they are working out for you! Here in the UK you can get the some of the products from amazon or paks > http://www.pakcosmetics.com/brand/motions/motions I have also seen they sell this in some BSS, ACE definitely has it. For more info on this line, please visit their website > http://www.motionshair.com/

If you love online shopping like me, you would love TopCashBack! This website offers you cash back on loads of different websites! It may be a few coins but imagine if they all stack up! it’s totally legit, don’t worry, check reviews 1st if you would like! Here’s a referral link below!

CURL HARMONY

Hey family! I hope everyone is doing great. So I have been working hard searching for the best UK based brands for you and voila, I came across Curl Harmony!

Curl Harmony is a UK based natural hair company that produces products free from harmful chemicals e.g. sulphates, silicones and petrochemicals. All products are made with natural or naturally derived ingredients with minimum amounts of fragrance oils.

In simpler terms, the products have been formulated using luxurious natural ingredients to suit every curly girl’s needs! I’m talking to my type 4 sistas and type 2 a/b/z (lool I don’t think there is a type 2z…. yet…)

So it’s a good collection featuring all the essentials: a cleanser, deep conditioner and a leave in conditioner! The full product list is as follows:

Curl Cleanser
Smoothing conditioner
Leave in conditioner
Intensive repair deep conditioner
Buttercream
Curl reviver

Since you guys don’t mind not having pictures of every single product (thank God lol), I will be doing these collections without them, Lord knows I am running out of storage on my WordPress account lool.

Review time!

So I have been speaking to the lovely Nadine, the owner of Curl Harmony who sent me some products to review! I got the

Leave in conditioner
Deep treatment mask
Buttercream

So you guys are in for a first impressions/ full review from me! I’m sorry I can’t try all the products I feature in this series lol (I’m only human with a limited amount of space and one head of hair lool, but remember this series is to bring you information on the brands out there for us and where to purchase them in the UK, if I happen to use it of course I will add a personal review for you guys J)

So look out for more information about these products soon, wash day is close by! Lool. Here in the UK you can get the full product range on their website > http://www.curlharmony.co.uk?tap_a=3216-11cfd5&tap_s=4594-418706

That’s all folks. I am really happy you guys are enjoying this series. I have loads more to come. I have realised in doing this series that, there are a lot of companies that now have a natural hair product collection from just catering to relaxed girls previously. Obviously the quality of these are yet to be determined by us. There are also a LOT of natural hair companies that offer great products. There are also UK based companies with really great products waiting to be discovered by us. (Did I just get deep there? Lool)

So until next time (off I go to enjoy my curl harmony products and my days off lol)

Love

Sarah
