Shea Moisture: BOGO Sale at Walgreens

So you know Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie is one of my staple products. Back in March, Walgreens had this products on sale for Buy 1, Get 1 Free and of course I missed it. Starting today, August 28th, Walgreens will have Shea Moisture‘s products Buy One, Get One 50% off. I been wanting to try the shampoo so I am waiting for Irene's aftermath before I head out to my local Walgreen's. I also believe that target does price match so if you don't have a Walgreen's in your area try target and of course Walmart will. Walgreens is also given a additional 20% off on top of the BOGO. Use code SHEA4FALL and if you order online free shipping on orders $25 and more. Don't miss it and pass on the word to your friends..

Hair Types

Now that you are officially natural I know you have heard many naturals talk about hair types. What the heck is mine you are thinking??? Well here is a cool chart I found that really helped me find out what my hair type is. Now don't be alarmed many women of color tend to fall into many hair type patterns. As for me I do as well.




My back is more like 3A while the middle is 4a and the front is 3c. So my hair type is all over the board lol.


I hope this is helpful to you on your natural hair journey.

Review: Queen Helene Royal Curl Cream

So I tried Queen Helene Royal Curl Cream on my daughters hair.







I must say I really like this product in her hair.

The Queen Helene Royal Curl line is natural, free of harsh and drying chemicals like alcohol, sulfates, petrolatum, parabens and phthalates. Each product contains Royal Jelly. whatever that is lol...


Here is her hair freshly wash no products





Here is the products applied only to the left side. You can see how the right is more puffy while the left curls are more defined.



and last comb styled and happy lol



While this products didn't define my curls the way I would like, I had more crunch less curls unlike when I use KCCC or eco in my hair, which don't work well in her hair ..I still would buy for my daughters hair. I finally found something that work for her hair. Been natural is about trail and error, Keep using products until you find what works. Trust I been natural 4 years and I am still finding out what I like to use in my hair.

Hope this review is helpful. Please comment if you tried Queen Helene Royal Curl Cream and tell me what you think about it
For more information on the Royal Curl line of products and where you can buy them, visit http://www.queenhelene.com/ if you live in New York you can most likely get it at any beauty supply store, and whole foods I seen it as cheap as $6.99

I love Shea moisture its works great on my hair as my hair is very dry and I added my eco Styler. I co-washed my hair and used my leave in conditioner. I will try this hair style again in the fall to see if I get better results. Any suggestions to get better results for the summer months?
