Product Review for the Budget Friendly

 

For those of you who are very pocket cautious and do not care about namebrand products iii Sisters of Nature have come to the rescue. I have had the opportunity to try two free samples of their products. Their Curling Gelo (compare to Kinky-Curlys Knot today) and also their Sweet Honeyrose Treatment (compare to Miss Jesse's Super Sweetback Treatment).

To be honest I feel some kind of way about companies that market their products on how they are just like or should be compared to another product. In saying this it took me about a month to try these products out. What's with the change of heart? Well, I was feeling like my hair was in need of some products to love and I had been really wanting to try out Kinky-Curly... that's when my hair drawer started to glow.

With that being said... Here are my thoughts on the two products

iii Sisters of Nature: Curling Gelo 8oz. $9.59



Used as: I used it as a leave-in.

Smell: Yummy... It smells candy like, but dies down on your hair.

Color/Texture: It was clear and had a goopy type of feel.

Outcome: On super wet hair- It was awesome. I don't know if it was my deep conditioner (earlier post for the recipe), but it defined my curlies deeper than they already were. It made my twist out look bomb. Hair was hydrated and healthy.
On Dry Hair- No Bueno! Did absolutely nothing, but make it frizz more and puff up. It added light brown dusties to my hair. That last part may have been due to the Eco-Styler I used on my edges.

iii Sisters of Nature Sweet Honeyrose Treatment 8oz. $12.99



Used as: I used it as a styler.

Smell: This smell was also good. I was bubblegum like.

Color/Texture: This was white and creamy.

Outcome: On Wet Hair: It was horrible. As it dried my hair became stiff and crunchy. It was very dry. It felt like a film of dust laid over my strands.
On Dry Hair:  It was Awesome. I can never get in a good dry twistout, but this helped ALOT!


Final thoughts: These two products are great with their pricing. However, I can't get with their marketing campaign. Their products are good in their own right. So I myself will not be purchasing unless I'm really down and out. How about you?
F.Y.I.: I have never tried Kinky-Curly's nor Miss Jessie's products. And for each product I used on freshly washed hair.

So what do you think of iii Sisters and their products?

Honey Be Deep Conditioner

Hair Looking a Little Thirsty?.... Me Too, Girl.

So I needed to wash my hiar... but I had no deep conditioner. For me, whenever my I wash my hair it looks super thirsty... super dry. I hate it and without deep conditioner it looks even worse. However, I was looking online the night before at hair recipes including honey. I also knew that I had a full bottle of One n' Only's Keratin Conditioner. So I took an empty 8oz. container I had and covered the bottom with a thick layer of the conditioner. I figured the honey would stick to the bottom and make it hard to stir evenly. I then added a thin layer of honey ontop of the conditioner. I repeated this process til the container was filled. I stirred the mixture til it was one solid colored.

I washed my hair as I normally do. By the way, I wash my hair in plaits. I find it helps train my hair for the twist out pattern I like, and it also helps finger detangle easier. After, I rinsed out my regular conditioner and detangled I put in my deep conditioner and put a baggy over my head for 30mins. Afterwards, I rinsed it out in lukewarm water.

Now usually my hair looks thirsty... even while  soaking wet, but this time my curlies were really defined and even as it was drying my hair looked really hydrated. On top of that my hair was super soft. I loved it, and even more my hair loved it. Sorry for the long intro but here is a step by step instruction on how I acheived hydrated hair:

First you will need:

Honey -Not much really. Most say to use natural honey; you can get it at an herb store. But my time was limited and so were my pockets so I used what I had.

Regular Conditioner - This is suppose to take the place of a deep conditioner if you find yourself without. I would also recommend you have atleast half a bottle left.

An empty 8oz. container

And something to stir the mix

For every part honey you use use 2 parts of regular condtioner. Stir together til it's one solid color. Follow your regular hair wash regimen and use the mix as a deep conditioner. Leave in for 30mins covered and then rinse out with lukewarm water.

Enjoy,
Ashley

By the way... this is the  conditioner I used.
