Friday Flair: -- Choca: Retwisted!! :)

Hey all!!

So, Choca has been rocking the same twists for about a month now... AND... They still looked nice and right:

But, I wanted to change it up a bit... They had NOT loc'd up on me (yaaay)!! I did want her to have some thicker ones though... Just for a change... I LOVE LOVE LOVE Choca in twists of all types, so to go back thicker was exciting to me!!! (Didn't take long to do either).

I used:

Proclaim Tea Tree Leave In Conditioner

African Pride Dream Kids Olive Miracle Detangling Moisturizing Conditioner

my 'special' lanolin mixture (for the cold weather... her scalp tends to dry out)

Little Penguins Organic Mango Illipe Pom

Little Penguins Fresh Cream 

So, I did her hair in sections.  Since I was going to do them bigger, I grabbed sections of the smaller twists and re-did them in that fashion.

With each section, I:
- sprayed it down with the Proclaim Tea Tree Leave In Conditioner
- put about a nickle sized amount of the Dream Kids on her hair and massaged it in.
- undid the smaller twists
- put on my special lanolin mixture (about a pea sized amount on each 'new twist' section)
- put on the Little Penguins Organic Mango Illipe Pom (about a 1/2 pea sized amount on each 'new twist' section)

After all of her thicker twists were in, I used the Little Penguins Fresh Cream to coat her hair.

The Results:

Random Length Check!!! Look at that!!! WOOT WOOT!

I then styled it a bit, because her hair constantly gets in her eyes now. With the products I used to achieve this style, there is a LOT of shrinkage, but it STILL falls in her eyes. So, I pulled it back with some clips:

How cute are these thick twists!?!?!? I'm loving them, and so is SHE!! Sooooooo... It's a win/win!!

The entire style took about 1 1/2 hours to do!

Product Review: Little Penguins!

Hey all!!

So, I had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of getting my hands on some of the Little Penguins Online hair products!! I had heard so many GREAT things about their products, and I wanted to try them on Choca for myself to see if they were as awesome as I heard they were.

With ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS, you'd think it was awesome, right???

Let's delve in!!

Choca's hair started like this:

Now, for those who know me, you know that I co-wash her hair in twists, because it's so much easier for the detangling process. 


Now, I wet Choca's hair and put on the Little Penguins Vanilla Bean Smoothie as a quick Deep Conditioning treatment.  

It's a very nice consistency!! Not too thick, but thick enough to get into Choca's hair!!

I let her walk around, after I massaged it through her hair for about 5 minutes. 

Quick Length Check!!

She was TOTALLY unhappy when she knew it was about to be rinsed! She cannot stand that part of her hair being done. 

So, I rinsed it out:

Poor PunkinChunkin!

I then used the Little Penguins Fresh Cream to help in the detangling process.  Let me tell you... This product did what it said it would do.  As you all know, I do NOT use a comb in Choca's hair.  SO, with finger detangling, it can take longer than it would with a comb... but, that doesn't bother me.  With this product, it had her hair silky smooth and the detangling process went VERY quickly!!

Sorry for the blur... Shaky hands are wack!!! But, you can see the thickness of this, and it's so smooth too!

Then, I got to twisting.  To twist her hair, I used the Little Penguins Organic Mango Pom & the Little Penguins  Sweet Cream Butter!! The mixture of these two products together smell heavenly (LIKE HONEYSUCKLE) and made the twisting process very simple. 

There goes that shaky hand again... Sorry. 

Look at that texture:

After I finished her twists, I used the Little Penguins Ella Jelly to rub over her hair for that much more added moisture.  LOVE IT!!

The Finished Product:

Yep... She loves ALL the products!! :) 

Please check out the Little Penguins website HERE and take a look at all of their amazing products!  I'm sure you'll find something that fits whatever you are looking for!!

Also, check them out on Facebook HERE, and let them know that Charlotte's Avenue & Choca sent you!!! 

They are truly amazing people with an amazing product!! 

On a scale of 1-5 Chocas (one being the least, 5 being the best), I give this product:

FIVE CHOCAS!!!! 

I hope you all find this review helpful!!

Also, I will be having a giveaway of a couple of Little Penguins products starting TONIGHT!!!! So, come on back to the blog to get your entries in!!
