Went to Cloré to gather some hair products, since you know, that's practically the only store in Toronto that caters to ethnic hair. Needed some weavage, a Cowash, and moisturizers for both my transitioning mother and I. It's always nice to educate someone on taking care of their natural/transitioning hair and letting them know it's not that bad or hard once you get the hang of it!
[Side note: My mom is pretty much on the brink of becoming natural and is at that transitioning stage where she has a few relaxed strands that she's hanging onto for "length". However she is starting to do what I did by grabbing scissors and trimming here and there. I have faith she'll come around soon. Check here for post on her beginning stage of her journey.]
Products purchased:
- SheaMoisture JBCO/ACV Moisturizer $15.49
- SheaMoisture JBCO/ACV Shampoo $14.99
- Aphogee 2-Step Protein Trial $2.49
- Cuban Twist 2-Strand (12", 1B) $4.99 on sale per pack
Personally, I just really love SheaMoisture and stand by their products which is why I just had to try their JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor Oil)/ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) line. I generally already use those 2 products in my hair already, so to know SheaMoisture has infused them along with their Shea butter, is music to my ears and a must-try in my books. Aphogee I tried before (their Keratin Reconstructor) on my "first hair journey" so I'll give them another shot considering I hear good YouTube things. Cuban Twist has been getting good ratings as the Crochet Braid phenomenon continues to climb! It's considered a good Marley hair and good for type 4 hair as it's close in texture. Plus it was on sale, so why not. Until the next haul...
[originally written a couple months ago.. still last haul though =P so an update it below]
Unfortunately the SheaMoisture JBCO line isn't my favourite =( I don't like the smell of the hair lotion, and the shampoo is light, even too light for my boyfriend with dreads! I think I'll just stick to my Coconut & Hibiscus pink-labeled line. However, my 'now natural' mother does like it and she has a much thicker hair texture. So it all depends I suppose!
