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...
