Ouidad Review

It was lovely to received samples of this product. 

I was sent the Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave in. 

I have to say that it is a pretty nice product. I used it on 3 different hair types with using all 3 products on each. The shampoo was a very nice, cleaning and with lather. Not much needed to be done because only one wash and their hair was clean. Oh and let me tell you about the conditioner.... it smelled so so good, we just kept putting our hands to our nose lol it was so funny. My cousin said "let me smell your hand again.... lol". 

The leave-in just made their curls pop. Besides putting a little JoJoba oil on top of the curls nothing else was needed. 

It is nice to see that this product is versatile because there are a lot of products out there that are not and a lot of curlies have to find out the hard way. A lot of money down the toilet too which is so sad. Please ladies if you get a chance check out ouidad.com to find which line of products fits your curls. 

Ladies love your hair and it will love you back. 

As always thanks for reading, peace and love!!!!! 

Thoughts Here and There

As my hair grows the curls start to spiral, which is very nice. Running your hands down the hair from root to ends does wonders to the over all shine and health of the hair. It seem to come to life,with more bounce and more of a glow. There is also a difference in using the Nupur Henna than the plain Henna I was using previously.

Each year that goes by is a different learning experience. The hair will tell you what it like and don't like. When it is not loving what you are doing your hair will cry out to you with the breaking and the brittleness and all other kinds of things it is trying to tell you, "save me!!!".









Once you start to listen to your hair a peacefulness will come over the hair which will  start showing you that it is in love with what you are doing. The end result will be healthy ends that shine.
















More Family

More and more family members are taking the leap into the natural pool. All thought weave have been their life for so many years, Riding up on 40 has cleared away the clouds which was not allowing them to see or listen to their hair. Cry's were unheard and so the suffering went on for years and  their hair attacked back with hatred. Even though it will be like weening yourself off any other bad habit, it should be so enjoyable once they embrace and love their hair. Confidence will become your true name because you will learn that you are beautiful and start owning it.

Love your hair and it will love your back.

This Year Regimen

I think I told you this already and I am not sure if it will fit with new this year or not but here it goes.

 I am back to wash n go's because that is what works for me and my hair is still growing with this style. 

Still using Mixed Chicks line of products which works best for my hair and Hairveda Whipped Ends Hydration.

The oils on my list, JBCO; Jojoba; Vatika; Argan which are used on my scalp and hair at night before I tie my hair up for the night because I co wash everyday. I pick and choose which one will be used that night. Picked and used for my massage on my scalp. 

So what is different you say? I am no longer plaiting my hair at night. What I found out about trying to plait my curls every night was it was too much manipulation on my ends because I had to pull my curls apart to plait the hair. Trying to hide my ends was killing my ends and that meant cutting the damage I had done. This is what I had to figure out on my own, split ends every single month that was crazy. 

Now I pull my hair up at night either in a pineapple or just take my sleeping cap and pull it over my head to my neck and pull it back up to bring my hair up on top of my head and tie the cap up. 

Next day co wash with Tresemme Curl Moisturizing conditioner and with the last wash, it is done with Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner and left in until my shower is finish. 

After all that is done some days I apply the Hairveda as my leave in under the Mixed Chicks leave in and then it is applied to my wet hair and fingered in very well to make sure every hair is touched. Once it is almost air-dried I apply Alterna Bamboo Smooth Frizz  Correcting Styling Lotion and kinda rake and shake it at that point, no more hands and let it dry. I get more volume by doing this and no frizz what so ever. 

Starting the New Year Hair Length

Beginning of the year is off to a great start with Bottom of Shoulder Blade length hair, YEPPIE!! But it will never be the fly in the wind hair. 

 Because I am so not going to straighten my hair. 

Besides my husband stating he can not stand my hair straight, I just do not want to take the chance of damaging my curls just to check my length. Using the conditioner and pulling on the length works just fine. 

I have seen a lot of the ladies at this point reach waist length within a year, I really hope that is me. 

Ladies I am telling you, love your hair and it will love you back.

Love Love Loving My Curls... Thanks

Man I don't know how many times I have said this but I don't think it can be said enough. I love love love my curls. So back to wash n go's everyday because this is what suits me best. I know you can relate because you try this and that to try and baby your ends so that your hair will grow, right? I have found out today that my hair is growing a lot with wash n go's so I have decided to stick to it which I know I have said in another post. Now I can not stand frizz not even a little bit. In search of a regiment that would give me what I was looking for so my curls would pop every single day. I came across ElleRaquel and when I say my twin, a tear dropped. 

When it came to her application I did have to tweak it a little because in order for the Alterna product to work with Mixed Chicks, which everyone knows I am not giving up. I switched it around and apply the mixed chicks leave in, let my hair air dry and then take a spray bottle of water and use just a little with the Alterna bamboo frizz control and rake and shake. Let it all dry and  bom bam bing!!! I got just what I was looking for. I still can not stand second day hair so this I do everyday.

I don't do youtube videos but I highly recommend you take a look at elleraquel's.

Love your hair and it will love you back.

Kinky-Curly Products

I know I talked about this some time ago but my grandson wanted me to come in here and talk about what it is doing from him. Since we have different hair types the products that works the most for me is Mixed Chicks product line and what I fould out that works best for the boys with their texture is the Kink Curly line.
    I told them we were going to do a test on them to see how this works for them. And I said man I wish you were a girl, he said Jaddah you wish I was a girl. Only so I could grow your hair down your back. lol. My nephew will be using what I use since his hair is close to mines. So far as you can see from the last post is that his hair is doing very well with this product line. If I didn't say, this grandson is six years old and he is telling every one that my Jaddah is blogging about my hair. LOL this is so funny but they are on their Jaddah team.

Love your hair and it will love you back.

For My Sweeties LOL

So I decided to make the ole Kimmaytube leave in conditioner once and for all. I order

 the Jojoba oil 

 and Aloe vera juice off Amazon.com because they were the two things I did not have in my stash. Once I made it up and applied it to my hair for the first time to  my hair for a wash n go. But once the mixed chicks was applied and dried I just didn't like the way my hair turned out. Since then I have been applying it to my grand sons hair. Their hair love it. I say go to the refrig to get the hair stuff the six yr old knows just what to get. He will not go to school before getting his hair done.

He said Jaddah put my curls in your blog LOL. So I had to come back to write another blog because he watched over my shoulder on the last blog and said Jaddah you forgot me. So to my main squeeze here you go lol. 

Ladies you know my modal by now, Love your hair and it will love you back. 

As always thanks for reading, peace and love!!!!!!

Wintery Day For Hair Pampering Say?

Well as the snow cover the cars, trees, houses and sidewalks this is like the best hair day ever. Time to get out all the conditioners and hennas, all the oils and any other rinse you can think of. How about the product that you were holding off to try?



I refreshed a wash n go but now I think I will put in a deep conditioner and sit with the heating cap on. I will use the spray bottle to wet my hair a little and then I will apply moroccan oil  intense hydrating mask. As I

 prepare my hair and wait for the sweet potatoes to cool  down to make sweet potato pies because this is what you do when it snows lol. So I have applied the intense hydrating mask it looks yummy don't it? oh and the smell WOW that is all I can say and when I say it only takes a dime amount I am not lying. My hair feels like butter and I know I have talked about this product back in October but I still have the same jar, thank God because you remember it cost me $30.00. I want to try other products in this line but don't have the money at this time. 

Maybe if I sell more braiding adjustable bracelets   I will make the money lol. 

So now me and my grandson are looking out the window at this but no bother because with my wonderful hair and those delicious sweet potato pies to look forward to we are not sad lol. Oh by the way the mail woman came already and she delivered some more bracelets. If I do say so myself they are nice. 

Love your hair and it will love you back, I mean this has been like the best winter for my hair. I don't know why this simple regi is working so much better that last summer regi where I was plaiting my hair every night and co washing everyday? I still co washing everyday if I feel like it but I don't worry about plaiting my hair anymore. I just put it up in a pineapple and put my sleeping cap on.
