Product Review: Coco Curls

 As I promised I am back to do my review on Coco Curls. First of all let me say that the smell is intoxicating I opened the jar and instantly admired the creamy yellow texture and then sniffed it and it smelled just like chocolate and vanilla (well to me it did lol). I love the whipped texture and I decided to use it on the twist portion of my "fancy bun" and it defined and moisturized like nobody's business. I love that it provides a little hold but still kept my curls from feeling hard and crunchy. Not to mention this product is definitely a winner because it doesn't create those little white balls on your hair  if you use it right over your leave in which for me is normally a little bit of conditioner from when I co-wash. Another win for me is that it moisturizes well without making my hair feel heavy or look oily, and the best part of all is that a little goes along way I am known to be heavy handed but with this product there is no need for that. I will surely keep this product in my rotation and if you are interested in it check out there site here. Like I stated in my last post this product was sent to me but I believe that the 16oz jar runs about 25 dollars and the 8oz is 15.

Fancy Bun

I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted but I have an update for yall. So a few weeks ago I entered a giveaway on Curly and Lovely's blog and won a 16 oz jar of Coco Curls Styling Cream. I love it, I plan on doing a full review on it soon but I did use it on the look below. It has been hot here in Atlanta lately, well the weather has been in the 80s so that means that the days of wearing a braid out might be going away in this weather. So I have been wearing my hair up to fight the heat, for the look below I two strand twisted the front "bang " portion of my hair I had planned on wearing it down but it was just too much hair in my face so I pulled it up and pushed it forward to make a little hump and then bunned the rest. I love this look, I feel like it makes the bun look fancy and gives it texture. With the weather being well into the 80s for the past two weeks I feel like I will be entering into updo season lol.

Coffee, Bad Weather and High Buns

Hey yall,
I know the title sounds insane but let me explain. Friday afternoon the weather was warm and breezy. David and I made plans to go out and get this I actually put on a dress. Well fast forward two hours and it is high winds, rain and thunder a tornado actually touched down a few miles from my house. Well me being the chicken that I am, made a promise that I wouldn't be washing my hair that night because I didn't want to be in the shower and have the power go out. So in comes the high bun. I freaking love FSG I still had great hold and definition so I pulled my hair up. Saturday afternoon it was cold out so David and I stopped into the best little coffee house and passed the afternoon. I plan to make some more FSG this weekend and wash my hair for a twist out
Xoxo,
