Product Review: Eco Styler Moroccan Argan Oil Styling Gel

 I ran out of my Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel the other day and decided to purchase a new gel from the same ECO family. I have used argan oil products with Cream of Nature products (which I didn't like), so I was hoping that this gel would work out. For starters, I got the smallest pack just to try it out...

Time to change things up with Crochet Senegalese Twists!!


I'm absolutely ready to do Senegalese Twists again...however! 1). I'm not paying $180+ and sitting in a chair for 10+ hours and 2). I'm doing them myself! Now when I say myself, I mean the easy and cost effective way out. Crochet braids of course!

So I decided to do Big Chop #2 to celebrate my 3rd year of being natural and to cut all the heat damage out! The first time I transitioned, there was literally that ugly stage and I was not going through that again. Besides, I love the TWA look on me. Can you say "fierce and flawless?"

My Hair Diary | My Mini Chop From Heat Damage

Look at my damaged hair! I'm about to cut 4-5 inches of hair!!!



Soooo this is my 3rd year of being a naturalista! Yay me!!! I'm so excited and very proud of myself during this year to learn, grow, and understand my hair.

After reflecting on the journey of my relaxed hair to my natural hair of 3 years, I thought about something...I never knew what to do with my hair during those years. Even this past year, I was still not sure what to do with my hair and what products to use. I would experiment to find the best products for me, but something was still not clicking.

I just won't do it! Nope. I'm done with direct heat! Flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers just suck. They burn and fry my hair no matter how much protection I would give my hair. So I'm not using them any more!

FreeTress Bohemian is definitely one of the best synthetic hair that I have ever worn. Using this hair provides 1). a long-term style, 2) a cheap style, 3) and one that you can "wake-shake-go!"
