mini product haul (first for this new mama)

'There are two ways to get enough. One is to  continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less'. - G. K Chesterton

Hi all

I decided that after taking my braids out, I wanted to try the ' Conditioner Only Method', but modified. So I went and bought different conditioners to give a try and see which one I will eventually stick with. Below is what I came away  with on my recent shopping trip. Not much but it was good. 

My haul

My 3 new conditioners

Klippoteket Balsam - Normal Conditioner with Aloe Vera ( and 'Beer Yeast extract - great for detangling, protection and strengthening')

A closer picture of the Tangle Teezer

I was the Happiest person when I saw the Paul Mitchell and Tangle Teezers in the stores. I was the most unhappiest when I saw the prices, but hey charge it to the game (so always wanted to use that phrase!!!!!). I will do a proper review on the Tangle Teezer as soon as I have used it.

About my hair. I took out the braids. Forgot to take pictures. Gasp!!!!!! I know.

However, I didn't lose as much as I thought considering this is my first time after having Maya that I am dealing with my hair - it was in braids for 9 weeks. And its postpartum hair. I did however notice that my edges have broken at the temples. I did do a quick length check and my hair reaches under my arm pits but I wont know for sure till I do a proper roller-set and perhaps flatiron to really get an accurate length idea.

For now, my hair is in large chunky twists and tied in a bun. Which is the reason for hair bands. I keep loosing them or they seem to be with the one sock that never gets to be with its partner. My hair is very soft though and I noticed a lot more thinner then before. And so much more manageable. Its really not as thick as it was before I got pregnant. So am really excited to see what pregnancy and postpartum has left my hair.

Note: All these products were bought and paid for with my own money. This is not a paid advertisement. I will be trying these products for the first time.
