Review: Jamaican Mango & Lime Black Castor Oil

Co-Wash Day/ Twist-Out Success

So if you know me I wear my hair mostly in braid outs and buns. I couldn't do a flat twist to save my life lol. Something inspired me to attempt a twist out and it came out great. Here's what I did.

1. Co-Washed my hair with tresseme naturals conditioner
2. Wrapped hair in turbie twist for 30 mins
3. Air dried my hair to 50% 
4. Applied my Paul Mitchell The Conditioner Leave-In and my Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Serum
5. Split hair into 6 sections and applied Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Eco Styler Gel
6. Flat twist each section then braided the ends to make two pig tails.

My Assessment: I purchased two packets of the 1 oz because I had a feeling one wouldn't be enough. I was correct lol. I used both packets on my head. Even though it says leave it on for 7 minutes I left it on for an hour while I took a nap. Before rinsing I used my Goody TangleFix to detangle. It just glided through my hair.  When I rinsed it out it left my hair sooooo soft.  I felt like I didn't even need to apply my leave ins.

Overall I think i'm in love lol. I love the way my hair felt and its still soft today as i'm writing this review. The smell is fantastic as well. My problem is the price. It's not a product I would purchase regularly because I am a broke college student but I believe I will pick up the full size as a little Birthday gift for myself . I definitely recommend you try this product out.

Review: Goody TangleFix

Price:  $7.98 from Walmart 


Purchased From: Walmart but can also be found at target.


Promises: Get through tough tangles anytime, anywhere. Detangle with ease, and minimize breakage. Great for natural hair. For straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair. Great for distributing conditioner.


Features: 3 bristle lengths for deep detangling. Lightweight for less fatigue. Easy grip sides for better control. Dual size design  for small or medium hands.


The Process: So of course i'm not going to detangle my hair while its dry lol. I cowashed my hair and deep conditioned my hair and kept it in four sections. I let my hair air dry for 20 minutes then applied my Paul Mitchell Leave-in and split each of the four sections into 3 more sections and detangled from the ends to my roots. Then I braided each section.

Final Thoughts: I absolutely love this thing. I was experiencing a bit of matting and tangling which is why I decided to get it. It was so gentle on my hair and got every single tangled shed hair and knot out of my hair. I would definitely recommend this product though I wouldn't recommend using it on dry hair lol.

As you can see in this picture I have a lot of texture going on in my head. This is after I detangled and braided my hair.

This is the amount of hair lost while detangling. Keep in mind I haven't detangled in 3 days so this is 3 days worth of shed hairs.
