HOW TO SAVE BAD HAIR IN A HURRY!

Hello Fellow Fashion Addicts!

I hope that your Halloween was festive and full of tricks and treats! As for me I recently returned from eloping in Las Vegas! (Yay me!) We had an awesome time. I literally did not sleep lol! But not to stray off topic, those who know me are aware of the fact that I am VERY anal about my hair. I have been natural over a year and I decided to straighten my hair for my wedding day. I went to my local Dominican salon for a blowout and trim (she didn’t even trim my hair!) so I ended up doing it for myself which I prefer anyway. But during the vacation we were literally on the go the whole time so I wasn’t able to spend as much time on my hair without my husband getting frustrated (lol). So thank goodness I packed my favorite polo white tee because it turned out to be a life saver. The weather was fair. Sunny in the day and cool in the evening so when we were out sightseeing I got the idea to wrap my t-shirt around my head to save my hair from the heat and still be stylish at the same time! I call it my Eyrkah Badu look! I’ve included pictures so maybe it will come in handy for some of you all.

Feel free to comment or ask questions. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated from Montrese and me. 

Be Blessed!

Trying Some New Things

Hey!! So these past few days I have been busy non-stop, but while I'm getting ready for school I decided I wanted to come share a few things that I personally will be doing in the next couple weeks.

I picked up a couple things that I wanted to show you guys that I'll be reviewing and using in my next few posts.

Peter Coppola Argan Oil Hair Treatment
Blum Naturals Pro Age Daily Cleansing/Makeup Remover Towelettes
Wet N Wild "Walking on Eggshells" Eyeshadow Trio

I've been using these products & I do like them, but a more in-depth review will be posted soon!

Ciao!!

Co-Wash Regimen

Hola! So it's Trese and I'm back with another hair post...I wasn't even planning on posting this but I wanted to try the Taliah Waajid "The Great Detangler" Leave-In conditioner. This won't be a full review of this product, because I want to use it again before I do that, but I will say I did like it alot!

So, the first thing I did was apply my co-wash product which is Veganese from LUSH. It's made with Seaweed and Lemon so it produces super shiny and soft hair!

This is my hair with the Veganese on it!

 

 

I leave the Veganese on for about 30-45 min with a plastic cap on, then I rinse.

This is my hair after I rinse the conditioner out, soaking wet

After rinsing, I apply my leave in. Normally I use a concoction that Chas makes but I received a sample, from the natural hair show, of  Taliah Waajid's "The Great Detangler" so I decided to give that a go.

 That picture is also the order in which I apply my products, Leave-in, oil, butter or cream moisturizer, then holding product. These products change with the season/how I feel, this is just what I've been using for the past month.

Last, I two-strand twist my hair, applying the hair gel to my ends before I twist. This is what it looks like once I'm finished:

I wear these twists for 3-4 days before I was my hair with shampoo. (ex. I co-wash my hair Sunday and take down and shampoo on Wed-Thurs and re-twist)

I hope you guys have enjoyed these couple posts, I'm trying to get into the habit of posting regularly! 

Peace, Trouble Trese ;-)

Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque Review

Hello Blogger World! It's Trese, and I wanted to start off with giving you guys a review of the "Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque". First I just want to say that the product was purchased with my OWN money, & neither Chas nor I are paid to review any of these products. So let's jump into it!

I purchased this product about a month and a half ago. That was right before I put highlights in my hair and I knew I would need some kind of deep conditioner that would help with strengthening and moisturizing my hair.Well I'm a frequent youtube natural hair video stalker watcher, and I watched some really positive reviews about it so I decided to give it a try. I bought it from Target, pronounced Tar-jay, and it was $10 for 12oz, which is a great deal, especially considering the ingredients!!

This deep treatment masque is supposed to "deeply penetrate to moisturize and repair over-processed, dry, brittle, or damaged hair. It contains Sea Kelp minerals to detoxify hair follicles, Argan Oil to restore shine and rebuild elasticity, and Shea Butter to deeply moisturize and repair."

...

I used the masque in my hair about a week after I highlighted my hair, making sure to adhere strictly to the directions. Unfortunately I didn't get the results I was hoping for, but I continued to use the product every week. By week 4 I was still getting the same sad results so I decided to try the product in a different way. I read on the side of the jar that it could also be used as a leave-in, so I decided to use it as a moisturizer for my twists. To my surprise it worked extremely well! I only had to use a little and it made my hair super soft and it smelled yummy! Speaking of the scent, it has a nice sweet floral smell that lingers nicely on the hair so you kind of get a whiff of it throughout the day lol. I'll post a more detailed review of how exactly I use it at a later date.

 Ultimately I was a bit disappointed that this was not my holy grail deep conditioner (I'm still looking!!) but I am glad I found a way to use it up so I'm not wasting my money!

Here's a few pics of the Shea Moisture Deep Treatment Masque:

It is super creamy and very rich but doesn't leave the hair greasy!
