Now you guys didn't think after my wonderful experience with the DC from this line I recently reviewed I would stop there right?! Oh no, where there is usually one gem others are bound to be hiding close by.  I have read nothing but awesome reviews about this cleansing conditioner & after a huge success with one of their DC's I had to find out myself if this cleansing conditioner was a winner for me or not?  As always this is a product review based upon my personal experience with my own texture of hair.  I have a staple co-wash already however I do like to have one alternative option to rotate with my products... so off on my quest to see if this co-wash was going to be that product for me! Let's chat ;)

I know many naturals fear protein treatments & they have created such a bad reputation & buzz in the black hair community. Trust me depending on your hair texture & characteristics this vital step may be just as important as moisturizing your hair.  I have learned the importance of a moisture protein balance for my texture of hair.  I noticed this with my hair as moisture became my only focus that I totally neglected strengthening my hair at the same time.  If you want to see how I learned to fix this issue & quickly keep reading! ;) 

Hot Oil Treatment (HOT) - My old faithful hair remedy... A MUST try!

When I first conducted my big chop I was on the search for the best way to give my thirsty curls life and make my curls pop naturally!  I found this with my wonderful oil treatments which was highly beneficial since I BC during winter time.  This treatment not only gave life back to my hair but made my first few months with my new BC cut so much easier to manage. Initially I would give myself a hot oil treatment every week to help restore and treat my parched fresh new curls... once I felt my hair was happy, moisturized, and nourished I then decreased my HOT to once a month.  As always you must do what's best for you and whatever condition your hair is in and where you are currently with your natural hair journey. It's been a few months since I have given myself this vital treatment so I thought this would be a perfect time to discuss & show you my results. ;)

Can you tell which photo is 1st day, 2nd day & 3rd day hair??? ;)

Calling all silicone free conditioners!  As most of you are aware I am aiming to follow the Curly Girl Method.  You could imagine my surprise when I realized my old faithful Trader Joe's Nourish Spa conditioner contained a clingy silicone that I hadn't even realized.  I am sure you are thinking how could you not realize it? I know right! Well, in the beginning of my natural hair journey I was still learning and gathering so much information and totally missed this vital oversight. I didn't let this oversight taint me from moving forward I just dusted myself off got back up and started fresh.  I had researched silicone free conditioners and the TJ Nourish Spa always showed up on that list and still does. It didn't even cross my mind to the possibility they might have changed their formula!  In the beginning I went to TJ to pick me up this very popular conditioner and slightly glanced over the ingredients.  I thought I did my research or did I?
