A Kid in the Candy Store...

Who would have thought there were so many hair care products out there. For those of us who's product knowledge is limited to what we've seen in Wal-Mart, Sally's etc...it's like whoa!!! There are so many products out there and I am definitely a product junkie. So I will continue in my transition like a kid in the candy store. As I try new products I will definitely give props where due. Yesterday I purchased some Cantu Shea Butter No Drip Hair & Scalp Oil. It was inexpensive and easy to use. We'll see how well my hair likes it. I am also researching several products from Carol's Daughter and will hopefully develop a regimen that is perfect for my hair. Thanks to all those who have natural hair resources on the web already. It is a great help and encourages me to stay in transition when I get the relaxed hair blues. It is good to know that many people have gone before me and paved the way to make my transition easier. It's funny because a friend of mine tried to get me to go natural about 3 years ago...needless to say, I wasn't ready. Now I look back and wish I had started then...but no need crying over spilled milk. This is my season and so I press on.

Update: I actually liked the Cantu Shea Butter but stopped using it as a result of my experiment to see if products containing nuts (including shea) were contributing to my constant skin outbreaks. It's funny because my skin has cleared up quite a bit since I cut out some of the nut containing products.

Girl! I hear you on the PJ thing. I've really managed to get it under control though. I'm now in the mixing phase (where I try to make most of my products).

Yeah I just watched a couple of tutorials on making whipped shea butter...I think I am going to try to make some. Have you made that yet?
