1BlessedNatural Product Review: Carol's Daughter's Marguerite's Magic & Hair Milk Lite Leave-In Moisturizer

Happy Sunday everyone!
I haven't been using a leave-in conditioner for quite some time. Since the weather has been less humid, my hair has been dry. So, Ive decided to try the Lite Hair Milk Leave-In Moisturizer and Marguerite's Magic Restorative Cream Hairdress by Carol's Daughter.

Product: Hair Milk Lite Leave-In Moisturizer

Place: Carol's Daughter store

Price: $20.00

Claims: "No Parabens...No Petroleum... No Mineral Oil... No Artificial Colors"

First 5 Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulci (Sweet Almond) Oil, Theobroma Cacaco (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)...

Consistency- Creamy (white), non greasy

Fragrance: pleasant floral scent

I applied the Hair Milk Lite Leave-In Moisturizer after I washed and deep conditioned my hair. I applied it while my hair was damp, and was happy that it wasn't greasy. I think the Milk Leave-In Moisturizer is great to apply as a daily conditioner or moisturizer and sealed with an oil. But, I will see as time goes on, and post my findings in a future post.

I also have to mention that I love the directions on the back that says, "... Use your hands to gently squeeze out excess water or use a cotton T-shirt...". The idea of using a cotton t-shirt is unique to our hair and I think that shows that a lot of care went into creating this product.

Product: Marguerite's Magic Restorative Cream Hairdress

Place: Carol's Daughter store

Price: $17.00

Claims: "No Parabens...No Petroleum... No Mineral Oil... No Artificial Colors."
"Helps repair your hair" <--- This product did help my hair in terms of moisturizing.

The jar says that this product is great on damp or dry hair. But, it did not work well on my dry hair. I need something that is more water-based.

First 5 Ingredients: Water(Aqua), Zea Mays (Corn) Oil, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)

Consistency- thick heavy cream

Fragrance: ok. The fragrance reminds me of sort of a cherry flavored candy scent.

I applied the Marguerite's Magic Restorative Cream Hairdress after applying the Hair Milk Leave-In Moisturizer. You only need to apply a "small amount" as it says on the directions... A little goes a long way. Your hair has the potential to become greasy if you use a lot. Because of it's heavy consistency, I had to rub the product into the strands of my hair. My hair was white in the beginning. I applied Coconut Oil to my hair after applying this product. I was very happy with the fact that you only need a small amount for the product to work. As a result you can get your money's worth. The Marguerite's Magic Restorative Cream Hairdress is great because you can apply it to one section of your hair and don't have to worry about another section drying out quickly.

I banded my hair to stretch it. In the morning, my hair was moisturized and soft. Even though I liked the fact that you only need a small amount of this product to be effective, I would have liked if it was a little more lighter. I also would have liked a more pleasant smell.

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...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

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...
