MY REVIEW:

When I opened the containers, I was enthralled by the lovely fragrance of each product.  The smell is NOT overwhelming, but it's VERY delicious.  When I was using it on Choca, it smelled like a bakery in here!! BB and CC kept coming out here talking about how AMAZING the products smelled... Even Choca was putting her fingers in the containers so she could use it as lotion (WHICH IS QUITE ALRIGHT)!! 

The texture of these products is a thick consistency... However, it's not so thick that it didn't melt into Choca's hair.  Once I rub it into her hair, or into my hands before putting it on her hair, it softened her hair right up and melted right into it after about 3 minutes... Which is GREAT for our texture hair.  

This product brought out Choca's amazing hair texture. Her hair is VERY curly, and this product was able to focus on HER texture and bring out her curls like NONE OTHER!! Choca's hair texture has been changing lately... So, it was nice to see her curls POPPIN' with these lovely products. 

Pictures:

Look at how awesome those twists look with this product...

Looking even better... AND, the twists are nice and plump!

LENGTH CHECK:

Check that out??!?! WE LOVE SHRINKAGE... :) 

MORE PICTURES:

Do you see how amazing her twists look with this product??? I'm in love thus far!!! 

DAY 3:

So... She's had the product in her hair for 3 days... This morning when she woke up, I sprayed her hair down with water and put some of the above products in her hair... 

Check it out:

It's still JUST as beautiful, if not better!!! 

On a scale of 1 to 5 Choca's... with 5 being the best, I give this product:

FIVE CHOCA'S

Pros: This product is ALL natural and works amazing on Choca's hair.  It isn't too fragrant, but it does smell amazing.  A little goes a LONG way!

Cons: There are no cons!

Please make sure you check out their FACEBOOK, and make sure you take a look at their WEBSITE to see what other AMAZING products that they offer!! You won't be disappointed!

ALSO... keep a look out for our GIVEAWAY of some of these amazing products coming up SOONER than you think!! :)

Friday Flair With Choca!!!

Hey all!!!

So today, Choca decided she wanted to rock one of the new crocheted hats that my husband had made for her (Shout out to Brittany @ Britt's Knits for her amazing crocheting skills).  I paired her black, yellow and white hat with ALL VINTAGE ITEMS: a cute white tank, jean capri pants and a simple jean jacket.  She wanted to finish it off with her pink sandals (that's her FAVORITE COLOR), so I obliged that request!!!

AND... here is her flair for this beautiful Friday:

How cute is she this lovely Friday!?!?!? :) 

I hope you all enjoyed this cute little post as much as she enjoyed posing for it! LOL

Refreshing Choca's Twists!!! :)

Hey all,

So... Choca has been rocking this style for about 1 1/2 weeks now... 

BLOG POST TO THIS STYLE:

As of a couple of days ago, it was looking like this:

Now, although it was still really cute, it was FRIZZY!! My goodness... This weather (hot, cold, rainy, burning hot) has her hair going through a metamorphosis.  It's growing really well.. But, it does tend to dry out a bit more when the weather is all over the place. 

Sooooooooooooooooooo... I decided to redo her hair style... I updated the braids a bit, and used a different mixture of products to give her that protective covering her hair needs in this weather... 

What did I use, you ask?!?! 

PRODUCTS USED:

LITTLE MISS FUZZY HEAD

AFRICAN PRIDE MAGICAL GRO

TEA TREE LEAVE IN CONDITIONER

Let me tell you... This mixture really made her hair extra soft and curly!!! It was very easy to finger detangle and moisturized her hair amazingly!

The finished product:

I changed up the braid design a bit.

Can you see the shine?!?!? AND... The Little Miss Fuzzy Head has a nice, thick consistency that keeps Choca's hair coated and protected from the elements!!! We shall see how it looks in a week!! :)

As you can see, she's overjoyed with it... 

WIN/WIN!! :)
