The Products I Use to Keep My Hair Tangle-Free and Control My Edges

Having products that work for your hair and do the essentials is what everyone needs. I shared the products I currently use to maintain my curls, edges, and moisture. I also posted a video on Instagram and embedded it within this blog post.

My hair is very curly, and keeping the curls tangle-free can be a bit challenging. However, I've discovered three products that work wonders for both my weave and natural hair. The first product I use for my curls is the Cantu Beauty Coil Calm Detangler.   Next, I apply the coconut oil shine and hold.  Lastly, to keep my edges under control, I use the Protective Styles Gel by Angela.

Being able to keep my hair moisturized and tangle-free makes it much easier to work with, especially during the winter months.

Hairspray gel

I recall coming home from work exhausted and being unable to make it to the store to purchase the gel I normally use. However, I stopped at a nearby store on my way home and purchased the Enliven 250 ml Extreme Blue Hair Gel and the Insette hairspray extra hold. Both products worked well together to keep my hair in place, despite the price.

The Insette Hairspray range was created and formulated for professional hairstylists over 40 years ago with Pro-Vitamin B5. It is designed to hold your hair in place naturally.

Here are some key details about this hairspray:

1. Hold Strength: This hairspray is designed to provide a strong hold, making it ideal for maintaining elaborate hairstyles and keeping hair in place all day long.

2. Usage: It can be used for both everyday hairstyles and more elaborate special occasion looks. It is typically applied by spraying evenly onto styled hair from a distance of about 10-12 inches.

3. Finish: The finish tends to be shiny, adding a bit of gloss to the hair without making it greasy or weighed down.

Enliven Extreme Blue Hair Gel 250 ml

Well, I'll just get straight to the point about the Enliven 250 ml Extreme Blue Hair Gel. If you're looking for a hard hair gel that holds your hair too firmly, then this isn't the gel for you. However, if you're seeking a light hold that won't make your hair feel like it's coated in gel and still maintains a natural look as if you haven't used gel at all, then this is it. It offers a light hold that keeps your hair together and in place throughout the day.

I was returning from work and needed gel, so I just grabbed what the store had.

According to the instructions, the best way to use it is on wet hair, applied evenly throughout. 

I apply it before heading to work every day, and it serves as a protective barrier against dust and dirt. What's remarkable is that it doesn't weigh my hair down; unlike some gels that leave a heavy feeling, this one keeps my hair feeling light and natural even after prolonged wear. I absolutely love this hair gel; it provides excellent hold, doesn't leave any residue like some gel does, and washes out effortlessly.

I absolutely love this hair gel! Despite its extreme hold label, it doesn't stiffen my hair aggressively; instead, it maintains a comfortable hold without making my hair feel rigid. Even after applying, my hair remains soft and manageable. Using it daily hasn't caused any damage to my hair; in fact, it seems to have a conditioning effect. When I wash it off at the end of the day, my hair feels noticeably smoother.

Enliven Extreme Blue Hair Gel 250 ml

While responding to comments on my previous Christmas post, I thought, "Why not share photos of my afro wig?" Interestingly, my natural hair resembles this afro wig. I found the wig at an affordable price with positive reviews, so I decided to purchase it and try it out. Surprisingly, I'm impressed with its nice and natural appearance and might order the brown color. The fit is comfortable, and there's no unpleasant odor. The packaging is well done. It's important to note that proper care is essential for its longevity. Overall, I genuinely like this afro wig. It's soft and light, and the elastic isn't too tight, providing comfort. I dislike overly tight wigs that cause headaches. For this wig, it's full, fluffy, has good texture, and looks good on me, just like in the photos.

Make the comparison yourself; there might be a slight difference, but it's close. Let me know what you think. Does my natural hair look like this wig?

How do I wash a synthetic afro wig?

Firstly, add shampoo to cold water and pour a cup of warm water into the cold water. Shake the water with your hands to create foam. Place the wig inside and shake it. Submerge it in the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse and air dry.

Next, add water and a small amount of leave-in conditioner to the water. Spray this mixture all over the hair. Use your fingers to fluff it out, trim if needed, and you are ready to go.



The Best Hair Hydration and Repair Products for a Frizz-Free, Healthy Mane

It's the weekend, which means it's the perfect time for me to share this article with you. If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that I always give honest reviews about products. I wanted to take my time with this review to give you an in-depth perspective and even made a YouTube video to show you if Vagamour lives up to the hype.

If you've been on YouTube lately, you've probably noticed everyone talking about this product. Well, I'm here to tell you what you've been waiting to hear. Does Vagamour work? Yes, it does! In fact, all the products they sent me received a rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Now, before you start thinking this product isn't for you, let me assure you that it's suitable for everyone because it's 100% vegan. I tried the HYDR-8 essentials kit, and it's actually quite good. After being disappointed with mass market hair products, I was pleasantly surprised by this set. The hydrate and repair shampoo is fantastic. You only need a small amount to effectively clean your hair and scalp. It foams up nicely and smells amazing. I love how relaxing the scent is, and it truly enhances my bath time experience. Unlike other shampoos that leave my hair feeling dry, this one keeps it moisturized all day long.

The shampoo has a unique texture that feels silky and light. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely not sticky. Moving on to the hydrate and repair conditioner, it's also great. After washing my hair, I leave the conditioner in for 5-10 minutes, depending on how much time I have. Personally, I only wash my hair twice a week since my Afro hair doesn't get dirty quickly. This conditioner leaves my hair feeling silky smooth, and I follow it up with the hair mask.

Why are you losing hair?


There are two main disorders that cause the majority of age-related hair loss.

Androgenetic alopecia, commonly known as male- or female-pattern hair loss, is the most typical type. The first indication is thinning hair. "Hair follicles shrink, resulting in finer hair strands. Some hair follicles completely stop growing hair.

Genetics or hormone changes brought on by ageing may play a role in this form of hair loss. It happens gradually and in different ways for men and women." Men's front hairlines typically recede, and they may also experience thinning at the temples or crown of the head. It can affect the majority of a woman's scalp or specific parts like the middle, the temples, and the frontal scalp area. Women do not, however, experience androgenetic alopecia in the same way as men do.
When the weather is warm, the last thing you want to do is spend a long time styling your hair. If you want a low-maintenance hairstyle that still looks polished, or if you're searching for simple summer hairstyles for long hair, you've come to the right place!
