RaiNa's Review: MIZANIs SUPREME Oil Shampoo & Conditioner

     I tried Mizani's Supreme Oil Shampoo & Conditioner for the first time today.  Now understand me when I say that I am a person who is very leery of trying NEW products.  I feel like if it works for me then hey I'm fine with it.  I took out my hair weave today after wearing one for months on end out of pure laziness.  My hair is natural and is very curly, I have a so much of it.   Yes, I am a licensed cosmetologist and YES I get lazy with my hair.  But, the one thing I do is I take care of my real hair.  I take the extensions out, shampoo, deep condition and trim my hair every 4-6 weeks.  I was pleasantly surprised that I actually liked this product.  I am a lover of Mizani's shampoo and conditioning products. I am however leery of products that are always labeled "For all Curl Types."  Natural hair products scare me a lot. Besides it being good to my hair and resotring its moisture, it also has a nice light scent.  Here are the pros and cons.

Black Soap: Truth vs. Myth

      Black soap has it's origins in Africa.  It is created from the bark of trees and from plants such as shea tree bark, palm tree leaves, plantain and cocoa pods.  Black soap was created in Ghana.  Various oils such as palm oil, coconut oil,  shea butter are added to real African black soap.  It takes two weeks to cure the mixture and for it to set.    It is widely known that the soaps created in America and in Europe have artificial ingredients, thus giving you the imitation BLACK COLORED soap you have grown accustomed to seeing.

Benefits of African Black Soap:

• The plaintain skins give the black soap Vitamin A & E, and iron. 
• The shea butter in it gives UV protection. 
• The soap can be used on your body (on all skin types, dry/oily/hyper-sensitive,etc) hair (as a shampoo), skin rashes, eczema, acne, scalp irritations and neutralizes body odors.

This is what REAL AFRICAN BLACK SOAP looks like.

ReLease The GreAse!!

Contrary to “POPULAR BELIEF” hair grease is the enemy to having a healthy scalp. A healthy scalp is the breeding ground for HEALTHY HAIR STRANDS. All hair grease does is clog your scalp, inhibit hair growth & promote scalp fungus & disease because most greases are petroleum based! Think about it, you use petroleum base for your scalp before applying your relaxer as a protectant from becoming irritated from the caustic chemical. Instead use natural OILS such as ORGANIC COCONUT OIL & GRAPE SEED OIL which can be found in your local CVS or HEALTH FOOD store. They PENETRATE the scalp instead of SITTING on top of it. And most of all DRINK water! It’s the number ONE moisturizer.
