Cantu Shea Butter Leave-In

So recently I have been on the hunt for products that I can use as a back-up, in case I am unable to get an item that I usually use. Most of the time I use Herbal Essence Long Term Relationship Leave-in after I am finished with cowashing, or washing my hair. I've seen this item mentioned a few times on different hair boards and decided to give it a try.

This items info:

Breast Cancer Awareness








October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast Cancer is when cells in the breast don't grow right and a tumor forms.African American women are more likely than all other women to die from breast cancer.Currently there is no cure for Breast Cancer, but there are procedures and therapy one goes through if they have the illness.These include, Radiation, Chemotherapy,Surgery, and Hormonal Therapy.

There are things you can do to find breast cancer early:

*Get a mammogram. It is the best way to find out if you have breast cancer. A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast. It can find breast cancer that is too small for you or your doctor to feel. All women starting at age 40 should get a mammogram every one to two years. Talk to your doctor about how often you need a mammogram. If your mother or sister had breast cancer, you may need to start getting mammograms earlier.

A breast self-exam and a clinical breast exam are not substitutes for mammograms.

*Get a clinical breast exam. This is a breast exam done by your doctor or nurse. She or he will check your breasts and underarms for any lumps, nipple discharge, or other changes. The breast exam should be part of a routine check up.

*Get to know your breasts. You may do monthly breast self-exams to check for any changes in your breasts. If you find a change, see your doctor right away.

I encourage anyone to get checked out and know your health and status.

Wave Nouveau Moisturizing Finishing Lotion

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...I know I'm late with trying this product. But THANK GOD I DID!!! I love this finishing lotion.

This product states that :

The unique formula provides body and shine as it revitalizes hair to look its best. This light lotion penetrates easily and enhances hair so that maximum styling options can be explored.

I've been trying to find a staple product to use to moisturize my hair. I usually have been using the S-Curl NO DRIP, but I ran out. So I purchased this just to try it and instantly fell in love with it. I moisturized my hair in sections with it and sealed with a little olive oil. It didn't weigh my hair down, or make it feel greasy. It wasn't too watery either.

This is definitely going to be a main staple for now on.
