Yes, I Relaxed My Hair!

For those who follow me on Instagram, you may have seen me upload a photo with my straight mane a few weeks ago. Truth is, I loved my natural hair – the curls, testing different products, and the whole works. And heck, I would do that natural hair journey all over again! One lesson I learned through it all was that, hair is hair. You just have to take the time out and have the patience to take darn good care of it.

Herbal Essences “Break’s Over Strengthening Shampoo”
I’m big on Herbal Essences products, so there’s no doubt that I hopped back on the Herbal Essences boat. I’m now using the ‘Break’s Over Strengthening Shampoo’, and I absolutely love the smell of cocoa. It makes my hair undoubtedly soft. Unfortunately the hair store was out of the conditioner. Womp.

Creme of Nature’s “Intensive Conditioning Treatment”
I picked up Creme of Nature’s ‘Intensive Conditioning Treatment’ since they had no Herbal Essences conditioner. I’ve heard so many good reviews about this product, and it really does match up to its expectations. I don’t even have to use a leave in conditioner after this treatment.

Every Strand “Keratin Polisher”
I found out about the Every Strand line of hair products in 2013 when my hair started to break after a bleach job gone wrong. The Every Strand ‘Keratin Polisher’ states that it’s for chemically treated hair, and it is free of alcohol, which is a major plus! It’s really thick, so you just have to use a little, resulting in the product lasting a long time.
