TGIN: A Product Review

I got these two items after seeing a Instagram post about how amazing they made one girl's wash n go. I have to say I did not fall in love with them. I tried them on my hair (4a/4b) and my middle daughters hair (4c). The girl in the video on Instagram had 4c hair so I was really excited to try something on her hair that would be heavy enough (you know I love heavy hair products lol).

I used both the products together after washing/conditioning on wet hair and maybe maybe too much of the Butter Cream because it just sat on top of the hair. No matter how much brushing, I still saw a little white. Also I felt like one of these was flakey. Idk if it was the Curl Bomb gel but her edges the next day looked a little harsh and rewetting didn't help much it just looked more white until I rinsed it all out. But I will say the rest of her hair still felt moisturized even the day after which is rare when I do her hair so I did like the products for that.

I'm almost out of the daily moisturizer but I still have a lot of the gel left so I will keep using them and update the post as my opinions change (if they do)

This is her bun look using the products. To smooth her edges I did tie them down with a scarf until they dried. Have you tried them? What do you think?

Straightening brush: does it work?

I've seen sooooo many posts about these straightening brushes and African American hair... Does it work? Let's see! I went to America's Beauty Show when it was in Chicago and this was in my press bag yay! 

I got the "NFUSION Digital Straightening Brush"
According to the website: 
What is it?
  • Digital straightening brush that straightens hair faster and easier than a conventional flat iron
  • It’s the perfect combination of simplicity and effectiveness
  • Detangles, straightens and seals the cuticle
  • Silicone-tipped, anti-static bristles protect hair against excessive heat and breakage

The picture above is half my hair straightened with the brush.... It gives like the blow dried look (although I had already blow dried my hair haha) not the super straight look if that's the look you desire.

Detoxing, Glowifying face mask

Once a week I like to give myself a mini facial, and I try to use all natural products as much as I can. With this mask I only used 5 ingredients: calcium bezonite clay, raw-unfiltered honey, almond oil, apple cider vinegar, And of course H2O. If you're anything like me, you wanna know why the hell you're putting food and dirt on your face soooooo here's the dirt on the dirt (lol).....

Calcium benzonite clay pulls toxins from your skin as it dries, we come in contact with sooooo many toxins and pollutants throughout the day (and night) and the clay just sucks it all out while delivering its own nutrients back into your skin. You can also eat or drink this clay for its nutritional value but we shall save that for another day.

Raw-unfiltered honey is a natural antibacterial, so just like the clay get rid of toxins, the honey draws out the bacteria which cause acne, pimples, zits, and things that resemble aliens growing out your face the day before you have some where to go 🤷🏽‍♀️. Anywho, Honey also also leaves your face super soft, I don't why but it does.

Almond oil is really good for your skin, and it actually resembles the oil that our bodies naturally make so it's not too heavy and won't make you feel weighed down.

Apple cider vinegar balances the pH of the skin, it's also contains alpha hydroxyl acids that will remove dead skin and reveal healthy and vibrant new skin.

water, well your body is like 70% of water so your skin needs that too....also drink 2 bottles of water while you wait for your mask to dry. Your body will thank you later lol


I mix one cup of clay with a spoon ful of honey, two spoonfuls of almond oil, two spoonfuls of ACV, and I add water until I get it to be the right "masky" texture. Mix this with a wooden spoon. (The clay pulls toxins from metals so it's not a good mix.) smear it on your face nice and thick and wait for it to dry, you'll feel your skin tightening as you wait! Then wash it off. I felt quit refreshed once I was finished! And I had a bit of a glow! And bam, enjoy your beautiful face!!​
