Product Review: Jamaican Mango and Lime Island Oil

Hello people,

Skip next paragraph if you don't have time for my guilt trip.

A come back post is always a weird thing; not knowing where to start or how to apologize for not updating my blog for so long sometimes prolongs the come back itself. So I'm back, and I hope I still know how to write :). Ok Ok, I'm so sorry for not posting for so long and I would really try to maintain a schedule for updating my blog. I promise I would try.

I have been trying out loads of new stuff lately which I would save for some future post but today I want to review one of my all time favorites, the Jamaican Mango and Lime Island Oil.

Jamaican Mango & Lime Island Oil.

Island Oil.

Function - Very Good

Smell - Awesomely Excellent

Feeling - Ok

Consistency - Excellent

Island oil is a mixture of Castor Oil, Carrot Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive oil, Tea Tree Oil, Mineral oil, colouring and Fragrance. As you can see Island oil is a lot in one mix, each of these oils have several benefits to help groom healthy hair. Island Oil is a perfect mix for hot oil treatment and can also be used to mositurise your locs and scalp after a shampoo and before re-twisting.

What I love the most is the about the Island Oil is the smell. It literally smells like heaven. I used to use only olive oil from my kitchen to re-twist my locs at some point which was ok, but immediately I switched to Island oil it put my hair status "on fleek" and compliments started rolling in - "Your hair smells so so nice". The consistency of Island oil is great as well, it is not too thick or sticky, neither is it too light or watery.

Island oil claims the following

- Lubricates scalp; which is very obvious,

- Nourish roots; this very agreeable to considering the Natural oils in the mix.

- Strengthens locs; again I can agree to this.

All in all, I give the Island Oil a 9 on a scale on 1 - 10. The score down is because it contains mineral oil - a controversial product which is derived from petroleum. Besides that I love Island Oil and would recommend this to any loc head.

You can find the Jamaican Oil on my store or on my website.

Ok folks there you have it.

Till later.

Hello Loc Heads, This one is obviously for fellow loc heads in the awkward phase of their locs. The awkward phase is usually sometime around Day 1 - Year 2; when your head is full of scalp after a fresh re-twist and your locs seem too scanty, when your hair unravels after a fresh re-twist before you say can say Jack Robinson; when you think water is your worst enemy because it's preventing your locs from forming; when you are having a bad hair day and you feel like - Oh God if only I could get my hair into a ponytail it would do.

How I Keep My Loc Curls in Check - The 3 step process.

Hey y'all, Today was a good me day, got to hang out with my friends from way back. I was so so so glad I did. It was much fun and I am still rocking my locs in zigzag curls with an attitude. Just thought to drop a quick one on how I have maintained my locs for a whole week without loosing them. Rocking my Zigzag curls, one week in. Wore them down the whole time. Here's my simple 3 step process. 1. The Satin Bonnet Sleep in a Satin bonnet or Scarf. The primary reason for this is to retain moisture and ensure your locs are not picking up lint from your beddings. The added advantage is that is helps to retain your curls when you are asleep as well. :) 2. The Shower Cap + Tee Shirt Take a bath/shower in a shower cap. reinforced with a tee shirt. Yep, if you are trying to retain your curls water isn't your friend. Once water touches your loc curls they are gone. So I use a tee shirt to hold my shower cap up to ensure I don't get water on...
