Haulin'!

One just does not leave their country of abode for travel and not pick up a few hair products, especially when you're on a hair journey. So this post is dedicated to the items I copped recently. 


shopping for hair products in Walmart


I tried to finish up many of my products before leaving Japan, then got rid of most of the rest. So this is pretty much a fresh start. What's great is that Jamaica is certainly not lacking in the well-known products that us HHJ ladies utilize, so I can run to the store at any time to pick up whatever I need. Unlike in Japan where all my shopping was done online. They are more expensive than in America, but it's not too bad. Some of the stuff I got were bought in Florida and the others in Jamaica.

These are they:


Hair product haul

Old faithfuls

  • Queen Helene cholesterol cream
  • peppermint essential oil
  • Lottabody setting lotion

Newbies
  • Organics Hair mayonnaise
  • 100% Jamaican castor oil
  • Pantene truly Relaxed hair; Intense Moisturizing Shampoo
  • Aussie moist conditioner
  • HEHH (with coconut essences)

These are my basics for now. Of course I will add and subtract as time goes on, and report on what works and what doesn't.



Have you tried any of the products above? How did you fair?

    1. I'm a big fan of the Herbal Essences Hello Hydration, its a great cowash conditioner for a quick moisture boost. Years ago I tried Pantene's Relaxed line, it smells amazing but was quite drying on my hair. Can't wait to hear how the new products work out for you!

    2. All this time I have been following this blog I had no idea you were Jamaican...I did a massive shopping for hair products last year prior to leaving Jamaica to go to the UK for grad school so I can understand where you are coming from, but its pretty easy to find products in the UK though so I am not complaining

    3. ORS hair mayonnaise is my go-too when it comes to protein treatments.
      i purchased the aPHogee line and couldn't deal with the smell or the results.
      it was just more protein that i needed and my hair literally started snapping off.
      *shudders.

      i've been on the hunt for peppermint oil to appease my scalp but it's very hard to find.

      i've started using almond oil on both my face and hair - i'll keep you posted on how that works out.
      i'm curious though - how do you use castor oil?
      is it on a daily basis?

      1. yeah I like the ORS hair mayo too, but only about once per month as my hair doesn't like too much protein.

        I don't really use the castor oil by itself on the daily. I use it in my deep conditioners and I add some to my oil mix which I use daily for things like sealing, styling and refreshing my hair.
