Kudos......that's not so extra ordinary

Here's a kudos from a reader......

A young man opened the door to a business for his mother.  Then the comment was made to him that he should open all doors for his mother, including the car door.  The young man replied, "I do." His mother simply nodded in agreement.

Keep on doing the right thing.

Tootles for now........

Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner

My modified short hair version of an infinity twist.  I did this on a horrible twist out that was done on dry hair.  If anyone is up for listening to a good rant please contact me at 888-ANNOYED.  I did a last minute dry twist out the night before this picture so that my hair would fit under the cap that morning for our graduation.......

 

On April 20, 2013 a life changing event occurred, I bought Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Conditioner.  Oh my goodness y'all, why didn't someone tell me about this stuff before?!?!?  I am quite fond (so far at least) of this conditioner.  Oh where to begin?......Once upon a time I was in search, in search of a conditioner.  This conditioner is amazing, I repeat AMAZING for detangling.  I have used this conditioner as both a co-wash and a leave in (and a shaving aid, but that's a story for another day) and have enjoyed the results in both cases.  The conditioner, as the name implies, is meant to tingle a bit on the scalp.  I have to say, I don't typically feel much tingling unless I leave the conditioner on for a while, but I'm okay with that.  The conditioner smells like mint, has a nice consistency (not too thick or too thin), is made of natural ingredients and is an awesome price ($3.99/16oz.).  I feel as though my hair is moisturized after I wash and style.  Now I don't necessarily feel as though this conditioner gives the best moisture I've ever felt in my life, but the amazing slip given by the conditioner outweighs any other mediocre feelings and cons that I have about the conditioner (and I actually don't think I have any real cons).  Not to go on about the detangling, but I can detangle with just my fingers with exceptional ease (insert choir music here)!

So as for now this is my conditioner of choice.  I will continue to use the Cantu leave in as my leave in of choice, and update you all if any changes occur.  

Pros: 

• Great for detangling
• Natural
• Price
• Provides moisture
• Versatile (I can use this for co-wash, deep condition, and leave-in)

Cons:

• We don't have a Trader Joe's in Florence (But there is one in Cola, so not a real con)
• Smells a bit medicinal (But I don't have a problem with mint smell so it doesn't really bother me)  

So I give this conditioner two fros up!
