I have been using Cantu Hair care products for almost 2 years now and I love the brand a lot. I think their products are amazing. Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Cream is one of the new hair products I have been trying and I am glad I found this product. It is meant for natural hair and it works great on mine. My natural hair is finally starting to grow properly and I am excited. Over the years,  I have used all sorts of hair products and this Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Cream stands out from the rest. It is now my favourite Cantu Hair Care Product.

Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Cream

This intensive, deep-penetrating leave-in cream conditioning treatment is meant for natural hair. It promises to help repair hair breakage, and leave the hair soft and manageable.This leave in conditioning cream is made from 100% pure shea butter and other natural oils.

I have used this hair product for months now and I really like how it has improved the overall look of my natural hair. I use this product a couple of times a week but it can also be used daily as well.

Here are my thoughts on this Cantu hair product –

 

PROS
  1. I love how it leaves my hair soft and manageable for days. My hair can be quite coarse but this Cantu hair product tames it. 
  2. It is very affordable.
  3. The light fragrance smells nice and fresh.
  4. It is quite easy to use. I love the fact that it does not build up and a little is all you need.
  5. No mineral oil, sulfates, parabens, silicone, phthalates, gluten, paraffin, propylene glycol, PABA or DEA. 
  6. It helps the hair grow healthy, strong and shiny.
  7. It moisturises and detangles the hair beautifully.

CONS

None.

 

I can’t fault this hair care product. It has changed my hair care routine and my hair is thanking me for it. I am going to show how much my hair has grown and how healthy it is looking in the next few days, so look out for that post. The hair transition from texturised to natural has been very long but I am glad I am starting to see great results.

The Fashion Designer Dream

August 9, 2019 By in Fashion Tags: , , , , , , , , 17 Comments

I once had a dream to be a fashion designer many years ago. Fashion and Style has always been my thing, so naturally I had a fashion designer dream. Along the way, I discovered I didn’t have what I needed to succeeded as a fashion designer. Loving fashion and creating fashion designs are 2 different things. I need to know how to sketch, sew, make clothing adjustments and more. Being a fashion designer is a dream for many young girls, but to succeed as a fashion designer, you need certain skills.

Life as  a fashion designer didn’t happen

Once I realised fashion designing was not for me, I moved over to fashion styling. I didn’t need the sketching or sewing requirement for a successful fashion designer. All I needed here was an eye and love for fashion. I found the London College of Style Styling Course very exciting. It was a distance learning course I took for a few months in 2012, and I graduated with a good mark. However, midway into the styling course, I realised it wasn’t quite what I want. The reality of my life as a fashion stylist wasn’t appealing so I decided to pursue the personal shopping route which I did for awhile.

 

The fashion styling journey led to a different destination

My dream of becoming a fashion designer then a fashion stylist led to the birth of Fashion and Style Police. Having a fashion blog was a requirement for the styling course at London College of Style. This blog started off as fashion blog required to finish off my course but it led to a whole new career. What this has taught me is that life is complicated and sometimes what we want is not what we need. It has also taught me that the destination we are aiming for is usually not where we end up. We end up where we are meant to be.

My love for fashion and style continues

I am happy where I am. Fashion and Style is still very important to me. I enjoy writing about fashion but the whole fashion designing/styling career no longer appeals to me. Life as a fashion designer won’t have worked for me long term if I am being completely honest. I have also stopped the personal shopping. I did that for some time and it worked great when it did but it is not a career I want for myself anymore.

 

I have gone through many career changes but every change takes me to a better place. I am about to embark on yet another change and this is a big one. Very different from anything I have ever done but it is so me. I will be shedding some more light on this career in the next couple of weeks, so keep reading.

Have you had any major career changes? How did you find it? I would love to hear your thoughts. Please drop your comment in the comments section below. Thanks for stopping by.

August 8, 2019 By in Beauty, Giveaways Tags: , , , , , 76 Comments

Today I am giving away this TRESemme Defined Curls Curling Tong. I am a huge fan of TRESemme products. They are always great quality and they tend to last for ages. This comes as no surprise as the brand has been around since 1948, so they are definitely one of the leaders in the hair care industry. This TRESemme Defined Curls Curling Tong is a fab styling hair tool. It creates stunning tight long lasting curls effortlessly. It comes with an additional brush attachment which allows it to be used as a hot brush as well as a curling tong.

I have a similar curling tong and I use it a lot on my wigs. It is great to have these haircare tools at home because they allow you create amazing looking hair from the comfort of your home. This curling tong stands out because it does not exceed 185°and the slim barrel allows you create tighter curls than most tongs. I love the fact that this haircare tool is like a 2 in 1 product – tong and hot brush. It is great when products are like that. You can get a lot more out of them that way.
