Product Showcase:Organic Root Stimulator Lock and Twist Gel

This gel is great for twist and locs. I use it for my twist and on my father for his locs. It has great hold and makes the parts of my hair that are loosely-curled stay twisted. When I take the twist down , it gives me a wonderful twist out. As for dreds, it keeps them looking fresh,clean,and sharp! Trust me I know from experience.

It can be found at Wal-greens, Wal-Mart,and many beauty supply stores.

90-Day Ayurvedic Haircare Trial

I recently bought some ayurvedic powders from http://www.buy1free1.com/ . I've watched a lot of videos,read many articles, and browsed a myriad of recipes. When the package finally came ( after 3 weeks), I decided to make an ayurvedic oil, dividing it into a pre-poo oil, scalp oil, and leave-in/moisturizer.

The ayurvedic trial will be me using only this oil blends for 3 months to see if I notice a difference. Keep in mind that the summer time is approaching. This means I will be swimming. The chlorine might affect the outcome of my results. But I will try not to swim as much, so that the results are not tampered.

How I did it: First,I put 7 fl.oz. 100% natural , organic virgin coconut oil, 1/8 cup amla powder, and 1/14 cup shikakai powder; in a small crockpot for 15 minutes on low. After the coconut oil was melted , I added 1 oz . of 100% cocoa butter to the crockpot, until melted. Then, I let left it on low for 12 hours. Finally, when blend was cool enough to handle, I strained it through a double-folded cheese cloth. Dividing it into a pre-poo bottle, scalp oil, and leave-in/moisturizer.
