On the Train and Karen's Body Beautiful



On to our next location....

We decided to take the Metra. The girls had so much fun riding on the train. Lil Sis loves the Disney  show, Chugginton, so this was the highlight of her day.


The one hour train ride went very fast and I caught up on some reading and got an Ah-ha moment.

Now... the hair.

My hair was flat twisted last Thursday using Karen's Body Beautiful Butter Love (Lavender Vanilla).
My initial quick review... I love it!! The smell was divine. The Man keep on smelling my hair. LOL! It's very thick in consistency, but melts in your finger after use. The shine was not as fantastic but the product left my hair SO SOFT!!  The ingredients are great...almost edible. This product is also silicone free, sulfate free, paraben free, protein free, and glycerin free.  What more can you ask for?
 
Ingredients: Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii), Cocoa Butter (Theobroma Cacao) , Mango Butter (Mangifera Indica) , Jojoba Butter (Simmondsia Chinensis), Aloe Butter, Essential and/or Fragrance Oils (Parfum), Grapefruit Seed Oil (Citrus Paradisi) & Vitamin E (Tocopherol)


Have you tried Karen's Body Beautiful Butter Love before? What was your experience?

    Love the quote from Chicorro.

    Yes, I have the butter love in the very same scent. Your right it smells wonderful. I also agree the shine could be better, I hardly get any shine at all from any of her butters, but the moisture level is great!.

    I am a fan of KBB for the moisture factor, but after I use up what I have both the super duper butter, and the butter love, along with sweet ambrosia. I really don't think I will buy any of them again. There are a wealth of other companies many up and coming that have fabulous products . That bring the moisture and shine.

    It seems KBB left a bit of a cast on my hair as well with my oldest daughters hair, it makes it look dull like. Did this happen to your hair upon using ?

    Thanks for posting, take care.

      Yes, I do agree with you. The shine is really not there. I do think I have a bit of a cast too. I am thinking of trying it next time with some almond and castor oil to see if I can get more shine.

    I've never tried this product but I like the ingredients. I know you said it melts when you rub it but I'm a little concerned about the consistency. I try to watch what I put in my dreads to prevent build-up.

    How much did it cost?

      The Butter Love costs around $16. I did not experience any build up when I used the product, however, I did not get much shine and I had a gray cast which I did not like. The moisture was excellent though.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut

How to get rid of split ends in Natural Hair

Image
  @breezyspuffs (IG) Getting rid of split ends in natural hair involves a combination of good hair care practices and regular maintenance. Here are some effective ways to manage and reduce split ends: 1. Trim Regularly • Schedule Regular Trims : Every 8-12 weeks, visit a professional stylist or trim your hair at home with sharp hair-cutting shears to remove split ends. • Search and Destroy Method : If you prefer not to cut your hair often, this method involves trimming individual split ends as you spot them. 2. Moisturize Your Hair • Use a Deep Conditioner : Regular deep conditioning helps retain moisture, making hair less prone to splitting. • Leave-in Conditioner : Apply a leave-in conditioner after washing to maintain hydration throughout the day. 3. Minimize Heat Styling • Limit Heat Tools : Reduce the use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers. • Use Heat Protectant : When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant to minimi
