My new boo!!

I don't know how to describe how absolutely amazing this shampoo is!! I use to seriously dread when shampoo day rolled around.  It can seriously take me about 2 hours to shampoo, deep condition, detangle and style my hair not including drying time! I saw this at my local beauty supply and decided to give it a try.
Cream of Nature was the ONLY shampoo I used when I was relaxed. I guess when I quit the creamy crack I went cold turkey on all my other products too. I read and saw a few reviews on this product and couldnt wait to try it for myself. As soon as I put it in my hair and begin to work up a lather I could feel the tangles melting away. I could NOT believe it! I was able to finger detangle my hair easier than ever before.
My hair is really thick and I have a TOTALLY different texture in the crown area that likes to tangle and easily breaks. This shampoo got rid of all my tangles before I even had to reach for my conditioner. It has truly cut my wash time in half. *praise break: Whoo thank u lord, wont he do it?!?!:)
I've tried several products from this line with no complaints but THIS ISH RIGHT HERE is my new boo!!

See what the manufacturer has to say about the product:

Best Braidout Yet!

I recently did this braidout and was surprised at how well it turned out. I used my new fav shampoo creme of nature (the argan oil line) and deep conditioned with mixed chicks deep conditioner and sat under my steamer for about 20 minutes. I rinsed the conditioner, detangled and twisted my hair and let it
air dry wrapped in a tshirt for about 20 minutes. I then took each twist and untwisted it, applied kinky curly knot today, grapeseed oil and a tiny bit of wetline extreme hair gel. I then braid/plait each section. I finished with 6 braids. I let my hair dry overnight and took the braids down and fluffed it out the next day.

My Hair Regimen

I have gotten to be so lazy about this L

I used to wash my hair like 2 or 3 times a week when it was shorter but now it’s about every 2-4 weeks. I know…I know… sad  

Well here it is…..
I section my hair off into 4 sections and I plait those to keep my hair from getting tangled during the shampoo process. This makes it SOOO much easier for me!

Co Wash – I just take a bit of conditioner and smooth it over my hair from root to tip and let it sit for a few minutes because I have probably let my hair get so dry it needs it before I shampoo or it will tangle something awful!

Shampoo with Shea Moisture Black Soap or Moisture Retention- focusing on my scalp mostly section by section

Detangle with HE Hello Hydration- the only thing I have found that provides enough slip to get through my hair and keeps me from spending 30 minutes trying to detangle AND its budget friendly so I can use ridiculous handfuls and not feel bad.

Leave In (Giovanni Direct Leave In and a little Smooth as Silk Conditioner with Jojoba, Castor oil and Aloe Vera juice) - I will usually detangle my hair again with the leave in applied and then section my hair off in big 2 strand twists

Sit under the steamer for about 30 minutes with hair in twists- this is really great for my extra dry, super thick hair it helps to seal in the moisture and refreshes my scalp!

I allow my hair to air dry in twists until about 60% dry then I set in about 7-9 plaits with a little Aloe Vera gel for a braidout.  This keeps my hair from shrinking so much. 
I will normally try to stretch this style for 2 weeks (at least) by moisturizing and rebraiding nightly if I need to. Hairstyles always seem to get better (bigger) as they get older anyway! J
