Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion vs. Curls Creme Brule on Mini Twists



1BlessedNatural: Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion vs. Curls Creme Brule on Mini Twists

Happy Wednesday, my blessed naturals!
This weekend, I had a chance to try the Curls Creme Brule on my natural hair while doing mini twists. Although, I've used the product before, I've never used it for my twists. Now, you all may know how much I love the Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion and the Curls Creme Brule as moisturizers. That is why I decided to give you an idea of how they both did on my twists. This way, you can chose the best one for yours.

Hair Preparation

If you checked out my Instagram, then you know, I washed, deep conditioned, detangled, and banded my hair last Friday. However, I didn't get a chance to do my hair until this past Saturday.

I used a small finger tip sprayer bottle filled with water to moisten my hair before I applied the products. I also tried both products on my hair without using the spritz. 

                     

 Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion vs. Curls Creme Brule





 Amazon
Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion

Amount Used: I love the moisture it gives my hair, but I do have to use a large amount of it to twist my hair. 

Moisture Level: (1-5) I give this product a 4. If you expect to keep your hair a bit stretched after twisting, you can try this one. I usually twist my finished twists and clamp them with a clip to keep the from shrinking too much. (Please see the video at the bottom of the page to see my process)


Amazon
Curls Creme Brule

Amount Used: I tried applying the product to my hair with and without spritzing water on the section beforehand, and a small amount did the trick. I did my whole head, and I used less than half the amount I would use for the Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion. 

Moisture Level: (1-5) I give this product a 5.You can see in the picture above how my twists started to shrink and curl up after twisting. The product is very moisturizing. I dabbed my index finger and applied it to a small section of hair and massaged it into my strands, it covered the whole section of hair.

Both Products

For me, both the Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion and Creme Brule are good as far as them stretching... A little goes a long way with both products. Plus, they are both great moisturizers. 

The Winner...

 is the Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion because my twists experiences less shrinkage.

I would like to hear about your experiences using these products on your twists!


Have you used Cantu Creamy Hair Lotion or Curl Creme Brule on your twists? If so, what were your results?

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...
