Its a Sale going on @ Target

Yes, I said it there is a sale going on @ Target. If you know me, I (Red Velvet) am somewhat of a PJ. Since I started  my new budget. I love nothing more than a sale. I cannot count how many times my PJism has gotten me into trouble (SMH). I am leaving the pediatricians office from my honey bunny's appointment. I get into the car and decide to stop by the local target in the area to stock up on baby products for her. I hit the baby aisle and got her everything she needs for the next few weeks. As, I headed to the checkout. I  passed by the hair care aisle. I couldn't  resist the temptation and turned back around.

I'm getting ready turn the corner, Lo and behold one of my favorite hair care lines is on sale...SheaMoisture!!!!!

SheaMoisture products on the top aisle.

I was too excited. I almost did a dance in the aisle....lol. I'm sure they are having this sale to make room for some new additions to their line which I have been patiently waiting for to appear on the store shelves.  But who cares at..... Buy one get one 50%off, You know I had to stock up. The best part about this sale is that it lasts until Feb. 22nd. So, you already know I will keep stocking up their products (...yay me!!!!...lol).

 Did I mention I love SheaMoisture hair products?Lol..... Especially most of their products from their Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Line for Thick and Curly hair & Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Line for Dry, Damaged Hair. Coco and I, will be posting reviews on those products soon.

They also have two other lines that I will be trying soon the Organic Yucca & Baobab Line for fine/thin hair & the Organic African Black Soap Line for dry & itchy scalps.

You can see other customers weren't playing...lol

As you can see these products are going....going...almost gone at this local Target. So Grab your SheaMoisture today!!!!!. In this trip, I only purchased SheaMoisture's Organic Curl & Style Hair Milk Coconut & Hibiscus & Organic African Black Soap Dandruff & Dry Scalp Elixir.  I will continue to stock up until they either run out of products or until the sale ends.

What your type? Hair type that is..... Hair types 1, 2a-4c defined

Have you ever had someone walk up to you and say girl you have that 3c hair? Or have you ever heard someone talk about a natural female behind their back (SMH) and say  "ummm girl, she says she's a 4a, when she knows that she's a 4c". You are looking at them like what the heck is a 3c, 4a/4b???

In my next series of post, I(Red Velvet) will be giving you the breakdown on hair typing systems. For some time, I have noticed that hair typing systems have been gaining popularity. Every time you turn around there is a new kind of new hair typing system popping up.

When I first decided to become natural in 07/08, there was only two kinds of hair typing systems that I knew about the Andre Walker hair typing system and the L.O.I.S hair typing system (which will be the topic for my next post).

 In this post, we will be discussing the Type 1 to Type 4  hair typing system created by Andre Walker. Now you are wondering who is Andre Walker???......................

Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil Review

Okay, Okay.....I, Red Velvet admit it...I am somewhat of a PJ (Product Junkie). But this time my PJism helped me find an  awesome product on accident. I was getting ready to hangout with my chica and I forgot my products -_- . I didn't have time to go back home to retrieve my oil. So, I ran out to the Target to find a cheap replacement oil because I refused to spend another 20 dollars for oil when I had a brand spanking new bottle of oil in the house. So I trolled up and down Target's hair care aisles. Until, I stumbled upon Africa's Best Ultimate Herbal Oil in their ethnic hair care aisle. 

There wasn't a price listed on the bottle or shelf. So, I walked over to the nearest price check machine and scanned the bottle. The price scanned the oil for $2.50!!. I had to do a double take on the price.  I have NEVER purchased  a herbal oil that cheap.  So, I scanned the herbal oil again (just to be sure...LOL).

On The Road....Again!!!

      So I started off going natural for the first time back in August 2010 (My sis Red velvet inspired me). But I quit, I felt like the process was going to take too long. So, I thought to myself your young and don't need NO stress especially with your hair. After about 6 months, I decided to get a perm again because I had a pageant coming up. I did pretty good even though I didn't win (sad face). I still had fun. On my way home from the pageant I realized I just got a perm for a day because after that day I realized I could have made it. One stressful day turned  6 months progress into nothing.
