My Natural Hair Transition

Hair Journey Image

 

I have decided to start documenting my hair transition journey on Fashion and Style Police. I started the journey to natural hair last year and I honestly can’t remember ever seeing my hair natural look this healthy. I decided to stop using relaxers and other chemicals, and grow my natural hair because my processed hair was so weak and unhealthy. I stopped paying attention to it years ago, and I could see the result of my lack of attention, my hair-line was disappearing quickly, I had to do something about it.

This is the first time I am showing a glimpse of my natural hair on the blog. It is usually braided or buried unde a wig or some sort of hair extensions. I have had a love and hate relationship with my hair since I was young. I didn’t like the way it looked or felt. I guess we women of colour were programmed not to love our kinky hair, because all we saw in the magazines and on TV were the straight, silky hair, which is nothing like the African hair.

I am happy to say I have recently fallen in love with my natural hair and all its stubbornness (it never does what I want it do ever), and I am looking forward to styling it in different ways. But I need to grow it first. I became motivated to transition back to natural hair since having my twins. My daughter’s beautiful African kinky hair is hair goals for me. I love everything about her hair, and I enjoy caring for it. Her hair reminds me of how my hair was as a kid . I had beautiful natural hair that I destroyed with chemicals and lack of care. I am determined to grow my hair back to the original length, and I started  this transition journey with a bunch of cool natural hair products, I can’t wait to rave about, so look out for my review posts.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend.

Product Review: Zerreau Towel Off Strawberry Shampoo Foam

I pay special attention to my hairstyles as you may have noticed already. I like to change my look every now and again, so I am always rocking 1 wig or hair extensions. Sometimes I struggle to find the time in between these hairstyles  to give my hair a good wash. Sometimes my wigs may need a good clean but I may not have the luxury of time to give it a good wash and let it dry. So when this Zerreau Towel Off Strawberry Shampoo Foam landed on my doorstep, I couldn’t wait to give it a go.

Zerreau Shampoo is a new shampoo that cleans your hair without water. It is not a leave in product and it is not a wash out product. It is nicely in between, all you have to do is towel dry.

Here is what the brand has to say about this product:

Zerreau is a new shampoo that cleans your hair without using water! It’s a towel-off wet foam that really cleans effectively. It also removes odours and ‘product’ such as hairspray, wax and gels. Zerreau leaves you with soft, clean, luscious locks wherever  you are!

Here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. The Strawberry Shampoo smells amazing.
  2. It is super convenient. All you have to do is spray, massage in and damp with a towel. It is great for when you are in a rush, on holidays, swimming, out and about on hot sweaty days, or when you just don’t have the patience or time for a proper wash.
  3. It cleans the hair perfectly. My hair felt very clean after using this shampoo.
  4. It can also be used on wigs and hair extensions.
  5. I love the packaging. So pretty and compact, easy to pop in a handbag or suitcase.
  6. It is available at Amazon, Superdrug, Sainsbury’s and Chemist Direct. Prices usually start from £3.99.
  7. It comes with a pump which is so handy.
  8. No alcohol or parabens.

Product Review: V05 Extreme Style Rework Fibre Putty

VO5

I am a fan of VO5 products, I have had a couple of them and I think they are fab products. I have been using the VO5 Extreme Style Rework Fibre Putty, famously known as the UK No 1 Styling product for some months now and I have found it quite useful.

Here is what VO5 had to say about the product:

VO5 Extreme Style Rework Fibre Putty allows you to rework and restyle hair all day long with no stickiness, no greasiness or flaking. VO5 Extreme Rework Fibre Putty is ideal for short styles to manipulate hair in any direction with a long-lasting hold. VO5 Extreme Style Rework is a unique Fibre Putty to create the most messed up effects and funky styles with a long-lasting firm hold.

Here are my thoughts on the product.

PROS

  1. It is readily available online, in supermarkets and drug stores. I got mine from Boots.
  2. It is quite affordable. I got a 150ml tub for £4.19 and I have had it for over 3 months now.
  3. It is good value for money as most times, you only need a tiny little bit to style your hair. I know someone who has had hers for years now and she still uses it regularly.
  4. It holds brilliantly, no stickiness, makes styling so easy, and leaves long-lasting results.
  5. It gives my hair a glossy finish.

VO5 Extreme Style

CONS

  1. It does leave some residue that could leave whitish traces on your hair so be careful not to use too much, but apart from that this product is FAB.

I recommend this product 110%. It is not known as the No1 Styling Product in the UK for no reason, it is a great styling product, you should try it.

Have you tried this product before? What are your thoughts? Drop me a comment, let’s chat.

Thanks for reading and have a fab day.
