To all my Naturalistas, this review is for YOU

So guys, I have been natural for going on 6 years now and let me say finding products that work for my super dry 4b hair has been extremely hard. BUT, I have stumbled across a gem for my natural sisters searching high and low for a great foam when doing protective styling. Oh, and let me say it is very inexpensive for sister’s balling on a budget.

I am sure we have all heard of the Cantu line which has truly evolved over the years but ladies this product has become my all-time favorite. The Cantu Wave Whip Curling Mousse is literally the clouds of heaven stuffed into a foam pump bottle and I am not exaggerating. I used this product doing a perm rod set, and if you have done a perm rod set before you know two things. 1) Those little rods feel like you are sleeping on all of life’s trials and tribulations and 2) finding a foam that does not make your hair feel like crunchy Cheetos, sometimes seems impossible but today I am here to change your life, and hair.

When I first applied the product on freshly washed hair I instantly felt that my hair did not dry out and surprisingly my kinks and coils were very defined. I must say this is vitally important, especially when protective styling. Always, pay attention to your hair and how it reacts to certain products and styles. Yes, all our hair types were made beautiful but the properties and demands for each type will always be different. No matter the productive style, if the product you are lathering your hair with does not moisturize your hair, nine times out of ten it is not made for your hair type. So please remember, sometimes it is okay to disregard the “for all hair types” label; it could end up being the worst thing possible for your lovely tresses. After applying the product to my hair, my curls were still soft and tangle free. This helped tremendously when rolling my hair. It felt as if my hair just effortless wrapped around the rollers, which gave them a smooth appearance. Now, I know this is the expectation of every foam/mousse when styling this way BUT you guys have not met the unruly child I call my hair. Do not get me wrong, I love the non-cooperative ends of my hair, however, this time she finally met her match.

Diani 1: Hair 1,863

After the dreadful night of searching for a way to sleep comfortably on my face, I have to say the end result was worth it. When I removed the perm rods from my hair not only did it pull apart without sounding like I was balling up a chip bag, the amount of body I had was amazing. My hair was soft, bouncy, and full of luster. Lastly, the style held up for about a week… and we all know just getting second-day hair is a blessing.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to try a roller set (do not be like me, choose softer rollers), I promise it is worth the 6 bucks you will pay.

You ladies are awesome,

(P.S: A picture of my hair will be below)

Love you much,

-Di.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
