Dark n Lovely Braids and Weaves- Part 2

Hi beautiful people,

I hope you enjoyed reading my first post of the Dark n Lovely new product line. If you did, then am grateful and like I told you I am back with more.

Just a recap of the list of products: Scalp wash
                                                        Scalp soother
                                                        Hair refresher
                                                        SOS Hairline
 I am done with that of the scalp wash so my next is about the scalp soother.

Anti-itch Scalp Basing Soother

this product as explained on the container is an anti-itch, fresh control and daily used product. It's also stated that it instantly relieves the scalp from tightness and itchiness due to braiding and also helps with manageability of the hair when braiding.
Well, for the aspect of of tightness I can't say much because my hair was about a week or more old when I got the product but with the rest I would agree with it fully because it really helped with itchiness on my scalp and to add to that, it also kept my scalp moisturized as well as my new growth. It had this nice smell that made me love it the more because I love it when I pass by someone and the person asks me "what did you put in your hair? It smells good" I even love it more when other people hear those words about my hair....hahahahaha.... Anyway the truth is this product smells so good and I even used it after taking out my braids and had my own hair twisted. I just put a little on a particular spot and then rub it in well so it can reach to other parts of the scalp.

 I also like the thickness, its not too thick and its not too light. just ok and easily spreads when you massage it in.
When I went through the ingredients, there was something that drew my attention and which is what I always look out for in every new product I get. The first two ingredients listed were water and glycerine. With these, I knew even before usage that this product would be good and I was right.
In fact when I read through Annette's review I was asking my self so many questions.... like Is she really telling us the truth or its just a thing to get people to buy the products but then I said to myself there's no harm in trying. I got them and here am I talking plenty too...lol. I could go on and on but I don't want to be selfish so let me leave it here and watch out for other people to attest to these facts.


Hair Refresher

The spray has an inscription on its container that it's anti-odour. This explains itself but the truth is there is more to it than just taking away odour from one's hair.
 This is a moisturizing spray which is enriched with natural oils like jojoba and peppermint. It refreshes, moisturizes, smells great with this minty feeling and also adds shine to the hair.

The whole idea of using a hair spray is to get rid of odor and also dryness but I believe what matters most is the contents of the spray. I have a DIY spritz for my natural hair which has water, oils, glycerine, etc and when I read the ingredients on this product I realized that they were not too different from what I had made myself, except for some of the big big names I saw which didn't really matter to me. My concern is usually with the ingredients listed first. This means that I can always use any of them based on its availability at the needed time.

One last good thing I can say about these products is that they are sooooo affordable so I would urge someone out there to go grab a set and i bet that you will not regret it...

NB: A review on the SOS Hairline will be up soon....... 

Like I always say..... keep being yourself... Be Bold & Beautiful

 

Product Review- Dark & Lovely Braids & Weaves

Hello, Hello, Hello!!!

Hoooooooo!!!!!!! I know right...its been a while but you know I always come back with something very interesting and guess what this is about..... Ok.. you can't guess so just take a seat, relax and enjoy reading this...

Its been over 3 weeks I think since I found something worth having and I couldn't wait say something about it but I had to hold on tight and be sure of what I had in hand.

The dark & lovely braids n weaves line of products is what am talking about. I don't know why it took them so long to bring this out but I think it's better late than never. I have loved Dark and Lovely products since I "came on" (direct twi translation) hahaha and you know I was showing that "mbaso)" by doing some skirmishes to my hair and that was when I met Dark and Lovely...lol..all the same its here and I am personally glad I received these new range of products.

Description of products

The new Dark and Lovely line of products I believe was brought in to encourage the use of natural ingredients for our hair and also to reduce the problems black women face when they install braids and weaves as protective styles.

These products include the scalp wash which helps remove dirt and excess oil and leaving the scalp clean, the scalp soother which basically relieves the scalp of itchiness and that tight feeling you have just after you have a braid or weave installed, the hair refresher which gives your hair and scalp that refreshing feeling after you have cleaned with the scalp wash and lastly the SOS hairline which is to protect the edges or hairline when you braid. All the products also have jojoba oil and peppermint oil in them and these are very good oils for the hair especially natural hair...

For the purpose of this blog post I would only talk about the first three that is the scalp wash, scalp soother and hair refresher. I could not use the SOS hairline because my hair was not freshly installed when I got it and I actually had no issues with my hairline.

Scalp wash

This product as described on the container is waterless meaning you don't need to rinse out after using it, its anti flakes meaning it doesn't leave any flaky substance (like some white or light brownish powdery substance..lol) on your scalp. These are just as stated on the container but what about my own experience.....
Before I go on let me say this... when using products that need to get to your scalp always ensure you use an applicator bottle so it gets directly to your scalp and not the hair itself and this is a plus I will give to Dark and lovely when talking about these products...kudos to you D&L

Now to the main deal.... I am most of the time a bit reluctant when I have to use new products especially when I read the ingredient list and see some names bi like that....lol but trust me this is one product that is a bomb+... now see oooo, at once when I put the first drop of this gel like substance on my scalp, I had this cold and ticklish feeling and I went like "hooooo!!!! this feels cool" I went on and on applying on my scalp as directed and then waited for like a minute or even a bit more then took my cotton wool....hmmmm I wish someone could see the look on my face after I cleaned a portion of my hair... I went like "eeeiiiii what is this"? But I was surprised because my scalp doesn't really get so dirty and so I was wondering what had happened and where all that dirt came from. Well I couldn't explain at that time but it left me really thinking and then I found out what the problem was....you know I had some new growth down there and so you see where the knot is ie where the braid begins, where my new growth meets the extension....I don't know if that makes sense but I hope it does. That was where some of the dirt came from. So I concluded that, not only does this clean your scalp but it also somehow finds its way to that stubborn knot and takes some dirt out of there too. Honestly, I would say this is a good one because I am sometimes not able to wash my hair under the shower due to time constraints considering the drying and all that. It also smells great and my scalp is not itchy after using it so although I don't have dandruff I believe it will do some magic for those who do.... So, this is a must get product if you ask me.

wwoooowww!!!!!! did I just write all that? ok so you know what that means....review on the other products will follow shortly in a new post...

Thanks so much for reading this and just keep your fingers crossed for more on the Dark n Lovely Braids and Weaves line of products in my new post...
