I've officially lifted the seal on my product ban, I've only been using castor oil, water and shea, which has been working pretty well for me as I have been protective styling for over 6 months now. However summer is coming and wigs are far to hot to wear on a daily basis so I'll be rocking my fro a couple of times a week. the first product I gave a test run is I Love Afro Hydrate and Hold Crème. This a styling creme that leaves hair soft and shiny with a light hold which is great for maintaining Twist and Braid Outs.
I'm not a huge fan of twist outs, I never seem to manage to get it looking full and curly, it always seems to end up kind of sticky outy [for want of a better description!] however Hydrate and Hold Creme has given me a step up in the game, and its not just a fluke, I've used the product several times and my twists outs have been on point. for best result I used as directed on damp hair, I use a generous amount of product on each two strand twist and left to air dry over night. The next day I unravelled and fluffed and was left with this beautifully textured twist out that was touchable. This style lasted me 3 days just a daily fluff and I was ready to go.
I was pleasantly surprised by this product, it absorbed into my strands, I did expect to be left with an oily residue, as I've had this with other styling cremes. However due to the healthy amount of Avocado oil in Hydrate and Hold [one of the few oils that penetrates the hair shaft] my hair was left with no residue and no flaking like I've found with some styling products intended to give a light hold. If I have some negative it would be the size of the product it's currently only available in a 120ml tub and I've already done half of that in just one week [because I've been testing it out I've probably used it a little more than a regular person] so it would be great if we could get it in a bigger size. But that is a minor thing, I love this product it will definitely make it to my re purchase list. www.iloveafro.co.uk
