PRODUCT REVIEW ~ SOULTANICALS SheaMango Poo And Fro Shampoo Bar

Hey Curlfriends!

So I need to refresh my colored patch in the front of my hair but I needed to wash out the products I already had in my hair. I figured this was a great time to try out my shampoo bar by Soultanicals. 

INGREDIENTS:~ Saponified Oils of Coconut, Palm, Safflower, Vegetable Glycerin, Honey, Purified Water, Shea Butter, Mango Butter, Avocado Oil, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Hydrogenated Palm (and) Palm Kernel Glycerides, Sodium Lactate, Sorbitol (moisturizer), Sorbitan oleate (emulsifier), soy bean protein (conditioner), an extra lather of soulistic flava & LOVE!

STRAND-POO BAR INSTRUCTIONS:
Rub the soap into your hair.

Massage scalp to produce a nice creamy lather.

Detangle with a wide-toothed comb or detangling brush.
Rinse well.
Spread fingers thru fluffy, clean, shiny, frizz-free strands! Enjoy! :)

I got in the shower and wet my hair thoroughly rinsing out some of the product build up. I divided my hair into two sections and proceeded to follow the instructions and rub the shampoo bar through my hair section by section and massaging my scalp to lift the dirt and oil. The first time it didn't lather up that much which I expected and I know was due to the product build up, but the second time it lathered up really good. I attempted to detangle my hair like instructed with my wide tooth comb but this was a 'no go' for my hair. It didn't allow that much slip for detangling, and I didn't want to pull my hair out! Yikes! LoL! It gave my hair a nice cleansing, didn't feel stripped but definitely needed conditioning afterwards. Definitely good ingredients. I would recommend this shampoo bar and would purchase and use it again! 

Soultanicals products are now available locally (Bermuda) at People's Pharmacy! I've used other products by this brand and was highly pleased with the results (see pics below). These pictures along with brief reviews are also on my Facebook (Hair Nette) and Instagram (@hairnettebda) pages. I'll do a full review on them on here on the blog at a later time...:-)

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF!

Welcome to my blog page! I've finally sat down and decided to publish an actual blog page. I hope to be doing posts weekly on more detailed product reviews and even feature other curlfriends. 

My name is Lennette Warner and I reside on a little island in the middle of the Atlantic called Bermuda. My natural hair journey started almost 4 years ago, September 4, 2010. 

I can't remember what exactly made me want to go back to my natural hair but I did try to transition instead of doing the big chop. That just didn't work out for me. I got tired of dealing with the two textures. I had my stylist at the time cut my hair up into a bob cut in March of that year, but by September I had had enough and decided to just go ahead with the big chop and start from a TWA (teeny weeny afro). I struggled through that first year as I had always had long hair for the most part of my life. My hair seemed to be growing back at a snail's pace. I had to dig deep for patience to get me through this stage. The in between stage was even worse, that stage where your hair is still not long enough to do much with it, but it's no longer a TWA either. But within my second year it seemed to hit a growth spurt and seemed to grow quite quickly to give me some 'hang time' and I was able to experiment with more styling options. I also became somewhat of a product junkie (hands over face)...lol! I loved to experiment with new products and still do, although now since being on a tighter budget my purchasing has slowed way down. And I'm also in the process of using up my 'stash' of products. I've found products that have become my staple items that I keep in constant rotation for my hair, as well as for my daughter's hair. But I do have a 'to try' list of products that I would eventually like to try. 

I have enjoyed this journey so far and the versatility of natural hair. I'm no professional but through using resources such as YouTube, Facebook, other natural hair blog pages and most recently Instagram I've learned quite a lot. My hair has benefited as well with healthy growth. I've inspired and encouraged other curlfriends as well through my Facebook page (Hair Nette) and my Instagram page (@hairnettebda), and hope to continue helping others now by doing my own blog page. 

Look forward to more detailed product reviews and articles on my experiences!
