My New Flat Iron!
A couple weeks ago I purchased the Paul Mitchell 1 1/4'' Flat Iron. My hair stylist uses that product on my hair and it always turns out gorgeous. So, finally bought it. Only downside: expensive. I think mine was $115. I'd gotten a Hot Tools Flat Iron before that for $65, but had to take it back because my hair got poofy after only an hour of flat ironing it! :( I thought it'd work fine because an Ulta employee recommended it and it went up to like 435 degrees! But...no. It was terrible.
Quick Mini Post!
ONE PRODUCT I DON'T LIKE: Olive Oil. I feel like this does nothing to my hair except make it greasy and sweaty. It doesn't even smell that great. Definitely need to use Jojoba Oil instead.
ONE IFFY PRODUCT: Carol's Daughter Original Hair Milk Curl Definer. It smells great, isn't outrageously expensive, and has a sample available (which I love!), but the only thing it does is make your hair soft. The words "Curl Definer" are in the product's name, yet it did absolutely nothing for my curls. I can see using the Hair Milk for a supplement product, but on its own I was not pleased at all with the results. However, I have incredibly thick hair. It may work just fine for people who have less hair than I do.

Blog 2!
I'm sorry I haven't been on in a year. I've been really busy with school, but this sumer is my time to do LOTS of reviews. I'm determined to find a way to wear my hair curly.
So, for tomorrow, I'm going to wash my hair with Bed Head shampoo and conditioner. Then, the Silk Elements Moisturizing Treatment. Out of the shower, I'll apply the Mixed Silk Leave-In Conditioner by Silk Elements. I've been watching probably 2 hours worth of random hair videos on Youtube the past couple days and am excited about trying these products!
In addition to the Mixed Silk Leave-In, I bought the Mixed Silk Curly Gel. I'm not sure I want to use these products at the same time though. If I just use the leave-in and decide it's not enough, I'll add the gel. I'm going to try the Mixed Chicks Trio (shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in) again because they're the best products I know of so far. I also bought a silk bonnet to wear at night. The final thing I bought is the Silk Elements Moisturizing Treatment sample. It's supposed to keep my curl pattern defined over night. I'll let you guys know how that works on Wednesday. I got all these products at Sally's (except for Mixed Chicks which I got on their website).
The other products I'm going to purchase very soon are Mouse (probably just a random one from Walgreens), Kinky Curly Knot Today, and Kinky Curly Curling Custard.
Let me know if there are other products you recommend I try out. :) Tootles!
