Keep It Straight

You know how I was raving about cantu my last post? Well...*smacks lips* lemmi tell you... I was using it every week thinking it was cool because it only had wheat protein and it was like number 14 on the ingredients list. Then I retouched (aka relaxed) my hair and my strands were hella dry! Like surprisingly dry. Like individual pieces of straw dry...and I was confused and a little scared.

When people say "It's what they do that counts" They were talking about this product. I run out of my go-to moisturizer, the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Leave-in Cream two weeks ago. I really wanted to continue using it because it's relatively cheap at about $8. My hair, however, has not been impressed with it this weave cycle. I was starting to use more and more product and my newly texlaxed hair just wasn't having it. So I went shopping at my local CVS for a good alternative. I bought the Dove Oxygen Moisture Leave-in after careful deliberation of the small sample at CVS. Ok, I lied. I chose it because the packaging was pretty and slick and it had castor oil as the second ingredient...Peg-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. Little did I know that Whatsit Castor Oil isn't really castor oil but a derivative of castor oil and it's primary job? Is to boost foam production. So basically it makes the product come out all nice and frothy. Ingredient Fail ...
