All products are also free from parabens and formaldehyde. Fragrance are phthalate free as well. I knowing that is important to alot of naturals. They have sent me one of their product of choice. I chose the Curl Enchancing Custard. So I received it about a few weeks ago. It was package so nicely...



Pretty green ribbon around it. I wanted to test it out for as long as I could before reviewing. Lets get into it!

Price - $15/ 12oz

----My Review----

When I first received the Curl Enhancing Custard the first thing I noticed was the smell. It was a very sweet smell at first I thought of Cake Batter then now its like butterscotch. It had a nice texture not to loose or to stiff. Very custard like almost like gel like below.



Very Nice! I absolutely love the texture. I used the Curl Enhancing Custard on wet/damp hair as it stated. After washing my hair. I did a wash-n-go but decided to show my first strand just incase the end result would look to big. Also my brows needed done and my week was busy.



Here above is my before and after from using the Curl Enhancing Custard. I used a piece of paper to show length with and without product. The mark is shown as well. My hair was freshly washed with no water or product on before. On after I wet my hair to correctly used the custard. You see a major difference in texture and length. I also noticed my curls really did pop and waved. My hair actually went a little of the paper lol. It dried and looked the same just shrinked a few. I really love my results using this custard it was everything as stated. My curls pop as the product was made to do. I only had one problem which isn't major its a little sticky as it dries when its on hands and hair. Other than that its awesome!

I CeCe recommend this product to all naturals looking for curls to pop. I rate Obia Enhancing Custard an A.

Hair Journey Update - Oct 20th *1 Year Anniversary* LATE POST


Hello Everyone! Today makes my 1 year Natural Hair Anniversary. I have come a very long way. Still learning as I go. I am so proud of myself for not giving up to going back to perms. I have seen so much growth from day 1 til now. To those who aren't familiar let me fill you in...

Last year around this time was a very great day. It was the beginning of my Natural Hair Journey. I experience a bad perm in 2010. It tangled and knotted my hair so bad I had no clue what to do. I tried everything from detangler,conditioner,and oil. I was so depressed over it until I just cut it all off. I always had long hair and felt how would it look in its natural state. I felt weird at first but I grew to love it. The biggest change ever done to my hair. If you would like the longer story please check out my tumblr.

On my 6 month update I shared with you all everything I used. Let me fill you in on what I have used since then.


Organix Coconut Milk
- Shampoo *13 washes*
- Conditioner *10 washes*
Oyin - Hair Dew *few*
Tea Spray *regularly*
Eco Styler Gel*few to style*
Obia- Curl Enhancing Custard *Review Soon*


That is pretty much it. I kepted a simple regimen after my 6 month anniverary. I wanted to keep using what I love. I am not someone who uses too many products. But if I find a product I love its something I'll reconsider.

During my journey I loved washing my hair with sulfate shampoo's. I got my hands on a sulfate free shampoo and noticed a major difference. My hair hated sulfates. So no sulfates anymore for me. I love thick conditoners and not thin. My hair works better when left alone obsorbing products when dry. I am still understanding and learning the knowledge of porosity. I am not a Natural Hair Goddess but I am sharing my story.

I am looking forward to trying more products. I am ready to see how much hair I will have next year around this time. I am amazed how much my hair have grown. I will post my hair from last year to now as soon as I can load the before.

Since the last update I was testing out a product. For Obia Hair Care more on that soon. I really enjoyed it can't wait to show you all. I only used it so I can get the best of my experience.

To the Update...

Today I started by finger combing and spraying my hair with water. I then rinsed it with warm water to get rid of built up product. I used my usual Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo to wash my hair. As of 2 washes ago I ran out of Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner. So I used Conditioner sample from my Qhemet Biologics prize. I used Qhemet Biologics Moringa Tree Conditioning Ghee. If you all could only smell it. First thing came to my mind was candy. Cotton candy that is very sweet. I loved how it was great slippage its worth the price. My new staple product whenever I get a chance to buy it. I then used Qhemet Biologics Castor & Moringa Sofetening Serum. It's like a oil based product smelled like lemon & tea. Made my hair really soft I am in love with Qhemet Biologics. Afterwards combing my hair into a ponytail to dry.

Thanks everyone for following me on my journey. To those who are thinking is this the end no its not I will continue to share with you all. Long year and kept you all with me. If you are knew to my journey go back to the beginning in my archives on my tumblr.

Hair Journey Update - Oct 6th ♥


Hello Everyone! I hope you enjoyed your weekend as it comes to an end. I am here with another hair update! Since last update I told you guys I was lacking with TLC. I really need more products. I am not sure what to buy or try. Everything I want to try you need to buy it online. Sucks but im lucky to be trying a product that I will post soon. I have tons of shampoo and conditioner. Organix is the only one I can't stop using. I think im getting tired of not having choices of products. When it comes to moisture and sealing. I just need to shop online I guess. My hair is so full im scared ill use to much product doing everyday styles. So maybe protective styles will be an option.

To the Update...

Today I kept it simple just like last time. I washed my hair only. No conditioner because im out. Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo! Lol im pretty sure you all are like OMGGGG AGAIN!!! Yes! I love Organix with a passion. I never used an entire bottle of shampoo nonstop. I sprayed my hair first to comb through after that rinsed. Washed it and left some here out after putting a ponytail in. I'm gonna need more shampoo soon.

I am super excited next update will be my 1 Year Anniversary. I know my updates wasn't visual but ill try posting pics. I am glad to be natural and hope my journey inspires others.

Until next time Stay Glam0r0us! Don't forget to follow me on instagram!
