I happened to pass by the La Fiera Trade show last month only to get cupcakes from Tim and i ended up leaving with a bunch of hair goodies from Zabrinaturals. Zabrinaturals is a relatively new Ghanaian brand catering specifically to natural hair founded by Dr. Shirley, an optometrist. I didn't pay  much attention to them initially but after watching a review from +Miranisa Wallace-Ollennu of MsDirection i became intrigued so imagine my joy to have received them!

So my bestie Millie claims i'm a natural hair product junkie which i vehemently refuse! Well junkies never admit they have a problem because to them they do not see any problems right? I vehemently refute that! So i decided to put all the products i currently have in my rotation together so that you can help me decide if i'm a product junkie or not.

My Hair Product Stash

Hello Naturalistas,
It's been a while since i last did a natural hair post. Well that's because i have been protective styling. See previous posts for pictures. So before i installed my protective style i received the basic set from Eya Naturals. Imagine my joy when Sharon of Eya Naturals, whom i met at Afrotastic, told me to expect something! Upon receiving the package i realized it was the entire basic essentials set! I was like early Christmas gifts or nah?!

The Eya Naturals Basic Essentials Set

Hello everyone,
I hope this post finds you well. Sometime back i received some products from  Dark and Lovely Ghana from their Braids n Weaves line which i posted about here but have been unable to bring the review due to preparations for AFROTASTIC 2014 and also technical challenges. Initially I had wanted to do a video review and demo unfortunately during editing i mistakenly deleted the footage smh! I wanted to redo a video demo but i haven't worn braids or weave in a while and while i don't intend to for some time, i thought i will just do the review here and let everyone benefit from it rather than waiting for the demo. So after i began typing the review i realized i had a ton to say about these products and that putting them in one post will make this post super super long. I have become talkative papa! So i'm going to divide this post into 2 parts. I will do a review of 2 products and the next 2 in another post to announce the giveaway winners. Oh yes there is a giveaway so read on to find out how you can win an entire set for yourself.

Love, love, love the packaging!

Hello Beauties,
So from the title you can guess this is a haul post. I recently used up my trusty deep conditioner and needed to re-purchase and so off i went to Juben after close of work on a weekday. I love that i can get items there even after close of work as they close at 7pm and not at 5pm unlike most beauty supply stores. This beauty supply store is a beauty haven. I really love browsing through the aisles of this shop because they have a variety of items. *sighs* Okay back to the post!

So the main reason why i went there this time was to replenish my hair care stock and more especially try out some other products from the Creme of Nature (CON) Argan Oil range. I wanted to try out the CON Moisture and Shine Shampoo (sulphate free), CON Perfect 7 Leave-In Treatment and the CON Foaming Wrap Lotion. Unfortunately the shampoo had run out, meh! So here are the products i got instead among other beauty items.
