Natural Hair Care - Best Deep Conditioners For Naturally Curly Hair!

Happy Sunday! I love Sunday's!

Sunday for me is a day to recharge and prepare for the week ahead (full time worker life), this includes making sure all the laundry is done, my flat is clean & tidy and my curls are washed, deep conditioned and ready for the week ahead!

Today I will be showing you beauties my top deep conditioners for my natural curly hair. Enjoy...


First, it's my fave SheaMoisture Deep Treatment Masque -

This was the first SheaMoisture product I ever tried, I bought it in Target when I was in New York a few years ago and I loved it so much, I noticed a massive difference in my hair from the very first time I used it!

It's super creamy and with ingredients like Shea Butter, Argan Oil, Sea Kelp, Avocado Oil and Carrot Seed Oil, you know this deep conditioner is packing a punch and ready to tackle whatever the issue may be with your curly hair.

I save this one for when my tresses are feeling brittle and damaged due to whatever reason, I drench my hair in this product, put on a plastic shower cap and leave it on for a good hour, or I will put on my thermal hood from Sally's Beauty Supply and let it sit there for 20 mins.

Second is the Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner -

I use this conditioner when my curls are frizzy, need some defining and extra moisture. I also love to use this conditioner as my co-wash too, it's so good at making my hair feel clean, soft and moisturised - if you are looking for an all rounder conditioner that can also be used as a co-wash, this one may be what you have been searching for...

 
Third is of course another SheaMoisture product, it's the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Grow & Restore Treatment Masque -
 
This conditioner is so luxurious and powerful, it has JBCO which has numerous benefits when trying to grow your curls longer and healthier, as well as Organic Shea Butter for extra moisture. I like to use this conditioner at least every other week to maintain healthy hair growth.
 
Finally to the newbie of the group, the SheaMoisture Superfruit Complex 10-in-1 Renewal System Hair Masque -  
 
This product gives me life and it smells so good! It has ingredients like Biotin for thicker hair, Marula Oil for elasticity, Coconut oil, Shea Butter and SheaMoisture's Superfruit Complex which includes Red Raspberry Ketones, Goji Berries, Acai and Guava which provides your hair will an all round pick me up.
 
When I first used this deep conditioner on my natural curls, my hair literally felt like it had just had a spa treatment lol it was calm, smooth, looked much more vibrant and smelt amazing! I will defo be trying out more of the SheaMoisture Superfruit Complex range!
 
So, to all my curly girls I hope you will be trying out a few of my suggested conditioners to help keep your curls long, strong and luxurious!

Natural Skincare - My top 3 Michael Todd true organics Products

Hey guys, 

A while ago, I ordered a few products from the Michael Todd true organics UK website.

I had seen YouTube beauty gurus going on and on about the Michael Todd skincare line for so long, so I did some research, saw they delivered to the UK and ordered. 

I purchased the skincare discovery kit for dry skin, it was £25 for 5 smaller size products...check it out here.
 
The discovery kits comes with all of the essentials:
  • Facial Cleanser
  • Facial Toner
  • Facial Scrub
  • Facial Moisturiser
  • Facial Mask
What I also like about the Michael Todd brand is all of their products are made with organic ingredients and have nothing scary in the ingredients list!
 
After using the products for a while, here are my top three:
 
1. Tropical Fruit Enzyme Exfoliant Scrub - I love, love, love this scrub, its not harsh and abrasive like most scrubs, it smells divine and has ingredients like Coconut Oil, Papaya extract and the Jojoba wax beads provide gentle but effective exfoliation. After using this, your skin will feel soft, smooth and looking polished!
 
2. Blue Green Algae Antibacterial Toner - This toner is just amazing, most toners are so full of alcohol that they burn or have nothing valuable in them to make a difference to your skin. With this toner, you can actually see and feel a difference in your skin, its natural and organic ingredients like Aloe Leaf Juice, Organic Blue Green Algae and Tea Tree essential oil really do help with any breakouts while leaving your skin feeling soft and toned.
 
 
3. Citrus Cream Moisturiser with DMAE and Hyaluronic Acid - I have saved the best for last! I have been searching long and hard for a facial moisturiser that hydrates my dry, sensitive skin without leaving it oily or feeling like its covered in Vaseline. With this moisturiser I have found it! With ingredients like Coconut Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Aloe Vera and Vitamin C, you know your skin is being taken care of!
 
If you are interested in trialing the Michael Todd true organics skin care products I would defo say try the the smaller size's first, the full size's are not cheap so you want to be sure the products will work for you.
 
Until next time you can find me on Twitter for regular tweets or on Instagram ;-)
