Review: As I Am Curling Jelly and Smoothing Gel

Image
I don't usually combine reviews but thought it would be fitting for As I Am's Curling Jelly and Smoothing Gel. The Curling Jelly is too light for me to use on wash and go's, but the Smoothing Gel is great and also works for smoothing my edges and creating sleek buns.

I followed the directions that were in the box to do a strand test.

Shea Moisture Formulation Changes?

Image
Like most naturals, I've had a bit of a love affair with Shea Moisture, but that ended abruptly in the sea of new products and to my dismay, formulation changes. In my last post I noted that Shea Moisture is now available in Superdrug and Boots in the UK. While perusing the site (because there is a sale) and contemplating getting some of my old favourites, I noticed the ingredients looked different. 

Here is a list of ingredients for Shea Moisture Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk that I posted in January 2013: 
Ingredients: Deionized water, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil)*, Sugar Starch, Silk Protein, Essential Oil Blend, Melila Azadirachta (Neem) Seed Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbitol Esters, Algae Extract, Hyssopus Officinalis Extract, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf and Equisetum Arvense Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower (and) Lonicera Japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, …
