So I have been away for a few days, but that's because I have been busy....which is a very good thing!
But now I am back with another product....
Today's Product is: Ampro Pro Styl(Protein Styling Gel)
I know that some naturals do not not like gel and some of them will only use Eco Styler. I am personally not a fan of Eco Styler but I do like gel for some natural hair styles. Before my hair was loc'ed...I really liked using gel for my twist because of the kinkiness of my hair.
The ingredients are not natural but it does claim to Alcohol free. I think that the "alcohol free" is something that all gels are claiming right now because of the natural hair community and people becoming more conscience about what they are putting in and on their bodies. But for the most part the all gels have to have some kind alcohol to add hold to your hair when applied. So none of them are really truly alcohol free.
For the most part I think this a good product if used properly. If you use Ampro Gel on dry hair more then likely you will not like the results, because this gel is thicker it has the tendency to flake and cause build-up. Most gels including this one should be used on wet natural hair.
Gel can be used for slicking back edges, smoothing twist, holding coils, and retwisting locs....
I personally like the dark gels unless the hair is blonde or gray because brown gel discolors and can sometimes stains these hair colors.
Overall I think it is a good product...the price is reasonable ranging from $0.89-$5.99.....

Day 9--Product Review
I found a really good product with this one and it was relatively cheap....actually t is really cheap. The name might throw some people off because it is not normally something that I think black people are used to using on their hair...
So today's product is: Suave Professionals Almond+Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo
The label is a little tricky....it says NEW 100% NATURAL but the small print says almond and shea butter...so actually the only thing natural in the product are those 2 ingredients. But it is a moisturizing shampoo which is a plus. It is advertised to be good for dry and damaged hair. It claims to work as well as Aveda Dry Remedy Shampoo. The second ingredient is sulfate but not all hair (natural or relaxed) reacts to sulfates the same way, so it is worth a try. I have not tried this particular shampoo on freeform natural hair but it is good for locs. It is thick enough to lather but not so thick that it doesnt wash out of the locs.
It is also a very good buy @ $3.00 for 32fl.oz I think that anybody should give it a try. It doesn't leave a residue or a build-up. It also has the best almond smell that really lingers in ur hair. It adds shine to ur hair and it also adds significant moisture to the scalp and hair. This is a good everyday shampoo or just a good go to when u have run out of ur regular shampoo. I haven't seen it at any store other then Wal-Mart but Im sure it can be found in Target, Walgreens, CVS, or Meijer....

Day 8---Product Review
Today I want to review another product for children...
I have used almost all of the products in the African Pride Kids line because I think that they work well for the most part. Even without them having plat based or 100% natural ingredients they still work well for my daughters.
So today's product is:African Pride (Dream Kids) Anti-Breakage Detangling Oil Moisturizer...
This is another non-natural product that works really well. I have used this for both of my daughters. It is good for detangling after a wash. It is thick but if u work it into wet hair it drys clear. U can also use it on dry hair but just a smaller amount. I have used it to slick up a ponytail but because it is not as thick s a pomade it does not hold. When u use it on wet hair it does give a shininess to twist and braids.
It claim to work because it is enriched with Olive Oil but it also has 10 other oils in it so I don't think that the Olive Oil is very prevalent. It has a very nice strawberry-ish smell. The one thing that I don't like is that it can be a little greasy on my hands. It can also be a little sticky which can cause any sheaded hairs to stick to ur fingers.
I paid $4.99 for a 8 fl.oz. bottle and it has lasted for going on 2 months....so I consider that to be a pretty good deal. I wouldn't say this is a "must have" but it is good for very tender headed children. I purchased mine from the beauty supply but it can also be found at Wal-Mart.
