Discovering More Fabulous Made In Nigeria Products!! Focus: The Henna Place Protein Conditioner.




A few months ago, I was at the Naturals In The City event and one of the vendors there was The Henna Place - they were doing some lovely henna designs and I got their flyer with a promise to visit as soon as I could especially as they're located in the area I live.



I've been a couple of times to get some Henna Art on my hands and even around my ankle - I particularly loved the bow I got recently. Very simple and nice.

I started following them on Instagram and one day scrolling through their pictures, I came upon 2 different conditioners they sell - one 'Protein' and the other 'Sugar'. I found out that the latter was made for relaxed hair and the former for natural hair.

I couldn't resist trying it out!!! I mean right now my deep conditioner of choice is the Mielle Organics Mint oil and Babbasu Conditioner ( I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this stuff!!!!!) I've been using it since April last year when I bought a couple at the Taliah Waajid World Natural Hair Show and believe me when I say I'm hooked.

Shampoo Never Felt This Good!!



Oh my Oh my Oh my!!! So! A few weeks ago I was trawling Instagram (which has become such a baaaaad addiction by the way) and came upon an invitation to watch a webinar by Tamika Bell on healthy hair growth. I watched it, and it was definitely good and useful information - she went on to give a++ recommended product selection and one of such products was the Elucence Moisture Benefits Shampoo.

Now I've heard about this shampoo and it's conditioner and actually use it in the salon sometimes; I'd just never used it on myself. I decided to try it on my first wash day of the year and mmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm!!!!!! My hair was singing the national Anthem in Falsetto!! I've never experienced such softness AND definition of my curls after using just shampoo.

Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp Conditioner Has Captured My Heart!



Okay, I've used  A LOT of rinse out conditioners and leave ins in the last 4 years (one year during my relaxed hair journey and in the last 3 years of my natural hair journey) and a lot of conditioners I've used have been - bleh, good, okay, not worth it or just plain horrible. When I really want a good co wash with lots of slip I rotate between VO5 Moisture Milks (Strawberries and Cream) and Aussie Moist Conditioner (Tresemme Naturals seems to have stopped doing anything for my hair for some weird reason).
My go to leave in conditioner for a long while has been Kinky Curly Knot Today and I haven't had any complaints - enter Oyin Handmade Hemp Conditioner! I wasn't actually on the look out for a new conditioner oh! I had recently taken stock of some of their products and decided to try a few just to see what the fuss was about (their products have rave reviews online).
