Product Review: Dove Quench Absolute

  I've been my own “guinea pig” for many occasions. Whether it be a new shampoo, heat protectant, curly hair product, or in this case deep conditioner. Many of you may not know this, but I am indeed a deep conditioner JUNKIE, but what natural isn't in one way or another right? I feel as if the deep conditioning is the most vital step in the entire process because it's allowing your hair to be replenished of what it needs and helps to keep the curls bouncin’ and healthy!

  I recently decided the try a deep conditioner that I had heard about through YouTube via GlamTwins.  Dove Quench Absolute. Now I was definitely skeptical at first because I'm used to hearing about their soap, not hair products!? But I finally gave in and tried it out and I can honestly say that I LOVE IT!

  Dove Quench Absolute left my hair feeling super soft and fluffy. It definitely defined my curls and there was so much moisture in my hair afterwards. I could definitely tell the difference in my hair, after one use.

  But what I didn't like is that while is was in my hair, it did leave my hair feeling a little hard, but once I washed it out the feeling went away. So this product gets a two thumbs up from me.

  I definitely recommend this product to anyone with thick hair, (because this DC has a somewhat thicker consistency) and if you don't have thick hair but would like to try it, use a small amount. Let me know how it works for you!

P.s. What are some of your favorite DC?

Nightly Hair Routine on Natural Hair

Hey guys!
Long time, no talk (not really, only missed one day). But whatevs, even with that short time I've missed you guys and my fellow naturalistas.

This is a long awaited, highly requested post that I've been putting off for a while and I'm not sure why. By the title, you surely know what it is.... MY NIGHTLY HAIR ROUTINE!
So, without further or do here it is.

Step 1: I part my hair into four sections, (doesn't have to be perfect) and then pin three of the four sections up.

Step 2: Working with that first section, I lightly spritz with water (and sometimes aloe Vera juice), until my hair is damp enough to finger detangle, but NOT drenched.

Step 3: I then apply my leave-in conditioner. (A few that I've personally used and liked are Cantu's leave-in, Shea Moisture, Giovanni's direct leave-in, and African Pride's leave-in.) Making sure to evenly distribute it throughout my hair using my fingers.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 on all the sections until the entire head is complete.

Step 5: After applying the leave-in, apply an oil of your choice and two-strand twist each section.

Step 6: I then pull each twist back into a loose ponytail/bun and then wrap my hair with a silk scarf and put my bonnet on top of that.

...then viola! I'm done and ready for bed.

Now you've heard my nightly routine, what's yours?

Sincerely,
 A Natural
