Welcome to ‘What I am Wondering Wednesdays‘ (WWW) where I will share with you weekly thoughts on things that come up in my natural hair journey.

Happy first day of spring! There is so much to enjoy about spring:

• Longer days (yasssss daylight).
• Warmer weather.
• Good-bye winter blues *peace out*
• Yummy fruits that are in season.
• One season away from summer!

I can go on and on but that’s another post for another day.  

What I want to share is one (1) shift that comes around every year and that is my spring hair regimen.  I usually wonder what I have to do for my hair that’s better than the previous year so I can get closer to achieving my desired length.  As my hair grows, I have to pivot with the products that I use.  

Last week I decided to try something new and I have been pleased with how good these products have loved up on my hair. This brand is…….

*drum roll please*

KOILS BY NATURE

I used their Guaranteed Hydration Kit- Tea Tree Mint and babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!  My curls were all kinds of beautiful without having to use the entire bottle to achieve hydration lol. 

Side note: I go through one (1) bottle of deep conditioner per wash *clutches invisible pearls*. 

Below are my thoughts on each product:

Tea Tree Mint Hair & Scalp Cleanser: This product is like a clarifying shampoo. It comes in liquid form kind of like a diluted castile soap but with a pump. I like it because you don’t need a lot to lather your hair. I combed my hair into sections prior to adding the product and focused more on my scalp and letting the rest of the product work its way to my ends.  This is not a shampoo you should use often, it can be very drying. 

Ultra Moisturizing Cocoaloe Deep Conditioner: The consistency of this product is super thin BUT DON’T LET THAT FOOL YOU.  After letting my hair partially air dry with a micro fiber towel, I put a dime sized amount of conditioner on a section of my hair.  It felt like my hair was being revived!  It went on smooth, it didn’t weight my hair down and I didn’t need a lot of product. I was able to easily finger detangle my hair.

Moisturizing Shealoe Leave-In Conditioner: This here is the baby sister of the Cocoaloe deep conditioner.  It does the exact same thing, the only difference is that you can keep this product on your hair without having to rinse it out.

Herbal Curl Defining Gel: Gels typically don’t work well for me.  I have a lot of hair and my roots are super dense so I usually have to saturate my hair with gel and as a result my hair stays wet for most of the day.  What I loved about this gel is that it is not heavy or sticky.  It has a flaxseed texture and gives my hair definition with a nice finishing gloss.

Heavely Delight Hair & Body Butter: The consistency of this product is super thick. Think of Shea butter with a subtle fragrance. I like that you can use this product on your hair and body. I would use this more in the winter months instead of the spring to seal in moisture. For my wash and go, I rubbed a small amount of the body better into my hands and focused mainly on my ends.

By the end of it all, it was truly a GREAT hair day followed by a great hair week   I was able to wear the same style for the rest of week with minimal maintenance.
