Natural Hair Product Review: Hollywood Beauty Carrot Creme



I was looking for a good daily moisturizer. I saw the Carrot Creme on another blogger's blog, and I decided to try it.
 Cost: I paid $3.49 at a local beauty supply store.

The ingredients are as follows: Delonized Water, Isopropyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Soybean Oil, Stearic Acid, Ceterareth 20, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Imidazolidyni Urea, Carot Oil, Hydolyzed Keratin Protein, Vitamin A (Palmitate), Vitamin C (Asorbic Acid), Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Carrot Extract (Beta Carotene), L-Cystine, Panthenol (Vitamin B), Peanut Oil, Arginine, Horsetail Extract."

 Application:
I've used this product on my hair right after washing and applying essential oil to my hair. It worked fine. I've found that this product works better on damp hair. On the back of the container, it is suggested that you use the product daily and style with the "HOLLYWOOD BOAR BRISTLE BRUSHES". However, I only use the Gabriela brush on my hair. I haven't tried using any brush with this product on my hair.

My hair would be fine after washing, conditioning, and using the product on my damp hair. However, after using the product the product the first the 2nd day, it would leave flakes in my hair. I guess this is why they recommend using a brush with it. This could have also been because used Coconut Oil on my hair before hand. I'm not sure. But, I was not happy with that because it would make my hair look dirty.


Consistency:



The Carot Creme has a light and creamy consistency and pleasant fragrance. I had to use a large amount of the product, on each section (pineapple) of my hair. So, the jar goes go very fast..


In all I give this product a C- . It was a good product. But, it didn't work for me to well because I used another product beforehand.

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
