Nunaat Garlic Magic Review

Hey guys


So I have been saying for a while that I would do some reviews for you so here is the first.





Recently I tried the Nunaat garlic magic leave in conditioner and the hair mask. I was really excited to try these because I have heard a lot of good things about garlic in general and we all know that it is a healer so I thought well this product definitely should be interesting.

I started off with my usual weekly routine of co washing my hair, and then went on to adding my garlic hair mask. Firstly it smelt really nice for something infused with garlic although I only noticed after that both products say doesn’t contain garlic scent lol. As I started to add the mask to my hair I found that it wasn’t as moisturising as I thought it would be so I mixed it with some coconut oil and it was much better. I left the mask on for 20 mins underneath a plastic bag and then washed it out. My hair did feel soft but not as soft as usual.

Next I went on to apply the leave in conditioner which again smelt really good, but the texture of it was very watery and very dry. For me it felt like every time I added some it was taking moisture out instead of putting it in. Never the less I carried on and by the end my hair was so very dry and tangled. When I woke up the next morning it was even worst it was like I had not put anything in my hair for days.

Overall apart from this product smelling nice it really wasn’t for me, it just did not seem to like my hair at all lol. But I don’t want you lot to be put off, because what doesn’t work for me may work for you and vice versa. But I just thought I would give you the heads up on what my experience was.

Any way that’s it from me until next week, but if you have any questions you know what to do lol and if you have tried this then I would love to know what your experience of using it was.

Love you all loads

GoldCrush Trial

Hey guys


Back again and this week I wanted to talk about the lovely GoldCrush hair vitamins.




So in May I won a competition with the curly cockney if you don't know who she is check out her youtube channel she's amazing. Anyway I won the competition and was rewarded with a 2 months supply of goldcrush hair vitamins, which I was extremely happy about as I have seen lots of positive reviews. 

I've now been taking them for a week and a half and have no complaints. I'm just going to make sure I stick to drinking plenty of water. I have noticed my nails are growing very quick which is a good sign for a nail biter like me, lol don't judge me guys I'm trying and hopefully after this 2 month trial I will not only have a few inches of hair lol but some nails to. I want to say that I can see my hair growing lol but I know it's my eyes playing tricks on me and the fact I'm very impatient.
  
Some say your hair is meant to grow an inch a month, but not everyone gets that. However in the reviews I have looked at they have shown that the tablets, have helped them grow between 1 to 2 inches which is great a boost for us slow hair growers lol.

Below is a pic so you guys can see my current length.


Hopefully when I post my final review we will see a difference fingers crossed. lol all I want is some curls past my shoulder.

Well guys that's it for now, thanks again for taking the time to read I really am grateful. I'd also love to hear if any of you lot have taken GoldCrush vitamins before or if you have thought about it. Comment below and remember if you have any other questions I'm only an email away.

Luv you all lots

Natural Hair Week Experience

Hi everyone

This week I thought I would talk about my experience at natural hair week.

Firstly if you have never been to a hair event then I recommend you go it’s such a great experience and most of the products are up to 50% off which for a product junkie like myself is great lol. I saw so many brands there from Cantu to design essentials I nearly fainted.

Now not only was it my first hair event, but it was also my first time hair modelling, I was assigned to a lovely hair salon called Ebony B who are situated in Highbury and Islington so if you are looking for a new hair salon then you should definitely check them out the hair stylists take their time and go through each step of what they are doing with your hair. The ladies are very friendly and take great pride in doing their job, which for me was great as I have been lucky enough to have been blessed with a mother who is a hairdresser. So for me I have never had to go to a hair salon before. However there is a first time for everything and I would definitely go again. If you would like to look them up then you can check there instagram which is hairbyebonyb or email them at hairbyebonyb@hotmail.com. Trust me ladies you will not be disappointed. Here was the end result



The event itself had such a positive vibe, and it was lovely to see so many natural women all in one room. I saw various hair types and I have to say that no matter what hair type you are, your hair is beautiful I never realised how versatile curly hair is and how it be can manipulated into so many different styles. The seminars were amazing with so many speakers discussing texture to shrinkage to breakage the list goes on.

As I said before I am quite the product junkie and could not resist buying myself a couple of things. One of my favourite treats was my African scarf’s which you see I am wearing below. Most people who read this and know me will be shocked because there is so much colour lol, but I thought along with new experiences and the lovely summer which I hope we have I would try and brighten up my hair styles. The scarf’s are very well made and come in a range of colours and sizes. Personally I feel the larger the scarf the bigger the statement so it’s great when going somewhere nice. Me being the spender I am lol I bought one in every size.


Moving on to products I got the new garlic hair mask and conditioner from Nunaat, some Cantu conditioning lotion, hairfinity tablets which I am dying to try and last but not least some pure shea butter from Aviela which is good for everything if you want to get some yourself check out their website at www.aviela.co.uk




To top it off I got a bonus from the event, if you follow me on instagram then you will already know, if you don’t then you should its CECE_YEARWOOD. Anyway have a look at what they sent me to say thank you.




If you could have seen my face it was like Xmas had come early lol. Overall I had a really good day, if you want to experience a hair event there is another one coming up which I definitely want to attend. If you want to find out more about the event then check there instagram: witjonline or go to the main website www.uknaturalhairevents.com. Trust me guys it’s going to be good, they have one event in Birmingham which is this Saturday so hurry and get tickets and if you want to go to the one in London that’s on Saturday 13th of June which is where I should be.

Thanks again for reading guys it means a lot to me and i’d love to hear any of your experiences or thoughts about any hair events you have been. Please remember if you have any questions feel free to email me.

Speak soon Love you all
