Hi, I'm: newseason
I love: Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie
My Splurge is: Shea moisture products. I won't spend much more than that.
My Cheap Fix is: Tresemme naturals radiant volume conditioner. I love that stuff. Nourishing moisture is great too but radiant volume just agrees with my hair.
I don't get why ladies love: Cantu shea butter leave in- does nothing for me. Beautiful textures tangle taming leave in- didn't detangle jack. Vo5 conditioners- I can detangle better with water.
My Little Secret is: finger coils- my go to 'do. I love this style. It just works for me. My coils last a week and even after I can do a coil-out. Can't wash n go, can't do a a braid out. But finger coils? They just work.
I want to try: Darcys botanicals madagascar vanilla creme and theres another one that's a twisting creme that I can't remember the name of. People seem to have some complaints but something is drawing me to darcys.

Hmmm, If I recall I noticed in NoodleNaps siggy that she replaced it with Oyin Hair Dew. I have tried the same thing. It doesn't quite make it for me, but it comes very close. I also really enjoyed Darcy's Botanicals Pumpkin Seed Conditioner. Again, it wasn't the same but it will tide me over nicely until I pick more up.
