My Danessa Myrick Lightworks palette is here! I'm so excited, I just swatched most of them and then shifted my hands here and there to admire all the shifty sparkly shadows. I can't wait to get them on my eyelids. I might have to test them in just a few after I finish this post and I'm hoping to do a first impression post this weekend.
In the meantime I have a hair butter to review. I have actually had it for years and years...it's probably expired and I was going to just use it up and buy another one to review but since this is taking so long to use up, i'm not too sure I will repurchase again now.
Pooka claims:
Shea butter and Olive oil join forces for this powerful hair butter that will leave your hair feeling moisturized and super soft. With the added benefits of Rosemary essential oil which stimulates hair growth and Lavender essential oil to soothe your scalp. A perfect addition to your hair care routine whether you have locs, braids or kinky coils.
Works great in combination with our Hair Nectar.
Ingredients: Natural Shea Butter, Olive oil, Beeswax, Rosemary & Lavender Essential Oils & Fragrance
I only know about this brand because of my natural-haired friend. My first year of college she used it and some Carol's Daughter products to twist her hair. She is one of the people that inspired me to finally cut my hair and go natural so I was definitely taking notes of the brands she used. If I remember correctly she said she bought it at Whole Foods. But this was years and years ago.
The brand stuck with me and when I thought of them again...I went to the site and ordered this and the Hair Oil. I tried them a few times in my hair and completely ignored the directions. I use it in my wash n go and also as a twist out...but they really don't work for me that way. They just feel so heavy. So then after letting it sit I went ahead and read the directions and read it's really meant for the scalp. But it doesn't necessarily mention that on the site.
The directions on the jar say to apply a pea sized amount to the palm of the hand. Rub hands together to warm butter. Massage butter into entire scalp. Brush to distribute though hair. Repeat 1-2 times per week or as needed.
I found it worked best just after I washed my hair...I would take a small amount and rub into my finger tips then massage into my scalp. I would be careful to only apply a really small amount. These days I use it as a kinda pre poo. When I am doing nothing and either the night before or at least an hour before I wash my hair-I'll do almost the same thing but take my time to really massage it into my scalp. Because a healthy scalp will grow healthy hair.
I don't typically ever have scalp problems unless I am using hair products with certain color additives. Or recently I used one of the color waxes for a twist out and it had my scalp a bit itchy. I used some of this the night before I washed my hair and my scalp was back to normal.
I think it makes a great "pre-poo" and my newest growth has come out feeling so super soft.
Almost forgot to talk scent...mine does kinda smell like slightly off Shea Butter because I have had it years and years. But it does also have a nice scent. I'm not sure how to describe the scent but...fruity and herbal. I can definitely tell there is Rosemary oil in it. I like the scent.
And packaging is great-it comes in a glass jar. I can't think of the last time I had a hair butter that came in glass. Makes for easy recycling. It does still have a plastic lid.
The ingredients are also amazing- all natural. Shea, Olive, Beeswax and oils. You could make it yourself but from my experience melting Beeswax is annoying and messy. Unless you have the beeswax pellets.
Overall, I like it. Not sure I would repurchase because I really have to force myself to use it. I would probably take years and years to actually use up another...and I still have quite a bit to use up
