As a Kenyan naturalista living, breathing, studying off YouTube
and online natural hair forums, I am always on the hunt for the latest and BEST
natural hair products. Meaning trolling every possible Pinterest board on
natural hair, following all sorts of naturalistas on
Instagram, joining every possible natural hair forum available on Facebook- the
search is real! I am even on a first name basis with majority of the hair shops
around town because of constantly placing orders for new hair products. Thus I am always receptive and open to try new products and suggestions.
The good people from Venus were kind enough to send over a
hamper of their new range of products to try out. The new Beautiful essence products are created from natural ingredients suitable for African hair. These products have been formulated
to cater to all types of Afro hair offering better moisturization, softness and
a healthy sheen.
Over the 3 years I have been natural, I have grown
particularly close to Olive oil, I swear by it for just about everything, from
makeup removal, face and body oil, the list goes on and on!
There is the Olive Oil Dual infusion treatment, whereby one
can opt to wash off or leave in. I opted to leave the product on. Ah! good old
trusted olive oil, my heart was at ease on seeing It as one of the ingredients. First off, It smells really good!Like bubble gum. It reminded me of sweet childhood
memories full of strawberry bubble gum, now imagine that on your hair, I love
yummy hair scents! For this treatment I opted to let It stay in my hair throughout the day. The treatment melts well into my 4C hair and left It feeling very soft and fluffy, like soft cotton balls. On stretching and playing with my tendrils (every
naturalista’s peril) my hair length felt pretty soft from root to tip. Finger
combing was such a breeze with this product (I could easily run my fingers
through my hair) My hair felt soft
throughout the day and the better part of the next day. With this product, my hair felt moisturized throughout.
As for the Olive oil hair food, It has a light texture,
seamlessly melting on my scalp as I applied It.
According to all my natural hair research, the lighter the oil/hair food the
better it is. This means that It doesn’t clog the pores on your scalp, thus better
absorption of the product.
Next came the dual Moroccan Argan Oil treatment. For this
treatment I opted to wash off after letting It sit in my hair for about 45
minutes. This product smells equally yummy! I was so delighted! On rinsing my
hair, the product left my curls softer and bouncier than ever. I then proceeded
to do twists with the Argan Oil hair food. On undoing the next day, my hair was
still soft and very easy to style, It took me less than 10 minutes to style my
twist outs- a new record! The Moroccan Argan oil has a light texture and oils
my scalp well. This light texture enables better absorption of the oils on my
scalp and does not clog the pores.
