Silicone Mix and Creme of Nature w/ Argan Oil

Ok so this a rundown of how I used these products and how my hair looked afterwards




Recently I've been hearing good things about this Silicone Mix stuff so I decided to try









I also decided to buy some wrap set lotion from Creme of Nature w/ Argan Oil because I just needed some....



My sink is hella cluttered..


So this is how my hair looked before

kinda flat from a days work lol


I wanted to start off with clean hair so I washed mine



I have a relaxer so this is what it looks like after washing

The product itself is kinda runny so be careful..

I then parted my hair in sections to easily comb the product thru my hair


with product on hair

I let it sit for about 15-20 min then washed it out (sorry no pics..didn't really see a difference afterwards anyway)


I then proceeded to add some of the wrap set lotion and blowdry my hair

i have to tape it to stay on lol

after blowout









After that I flat ironed my hair (not very well tho lol still getting the hang of this haha)







 That night I wrapped my hair and this is how it looked today (with some minor adjustments with a flat iron)



As far as the feel, its nice but not too much different than before I used the product other than the fact that my hair has more volume but that usually happens when I wash and style my hair..


Note: the Silicone Mix is very strong smelling (strong perfume) and my hair still had the scent the next day, but the Argan Oil foam wrap smells great


Overall I think maybe it would have worked better if my hair was natural versus relaxed...

My New Wig!

  Just received my new wig from Ebay.  It took about 2 weeks to get to me coming from China. It was advertised as a Clair Beauty Wig I don't think it was.

Doesn't look like what i thought a Clair Beauty tag would look like..


Despite it being not what I thought it was, i still found things I liked about it. After all brand isn't everything.

Doesn't look half bad really




It was very shiny but the color was nice. I think it is along the lines of a 4/30 mix and a kind of ombre color style (light towards the bottom) or maybe it was just an illusion caused by the lighting. It shed quite a lot the first time i wore it and brushed it (hope its a good brush I'm using).









It's a really nice length, but I hated going outside with it because hair got everywhere and it annoys the hell outta me..Maybe i should use some product to keep it from getting like that.




Test run at Korean Fest!


All in all the wig was nice and I liked it. After all it was only $20 so you can't go wrong lol.  I don't have much experience with wigs despite working in a Beauty  Supply store in the past.
