This week’s challenge has been the hardest for me thus far. The kumba out hairstyle did not come out how I had expected it would but, I made it work anyway.

 

For this challenge I started off by washing and conditioning my hair. I used Going-Naturals Shampoo and the Detoxing Deep Conditioner. I really liked both products.

The conditioner made my hair feel so soft and moisturized and it smelled amazing. I also love these products because of their ingredients.

When I first went natural, I would make all of my own hair products and I think it really made a difference in the look and feel of my hair. I haven’t had much time lately to make my own products so whenever I buy a new product I always look at the ingredients and make sure the product includes natural components.

After I washed and conditioned, my hair I applied a leave in conditioner which I created by mixing Kiny Curly Knot Today leave in conditioner, water, aloe vera juice, argan oil, and sweet orange essential oil. I love this creation because while the knot today detangles my hair, the argan oil adds a shine, and the aloe vera moisturizes and balances the pH of my hair. After I applied the leave-in I applied some whipped shea butter (also one of my creations) to the ends of my hair and then I let it air dry.
