Holiday Gift Guide: Blended Beauty




Blended Beauty




Happy Nappy Styles

A rich and moisturizing styling cream for kinky curls and dreads, or highly textured hair. Style and define your curls or twist locs, while naturally hydrating. Perfect for finger twisting curls! Create defined curls, with maximum moisture and softness. Dries touchably soft and satiny, not sticky or greasy.
 
This is very similar to one of my very favorite products, "Down & Out Styles" which I have reviewed in the past. Happy Nappy Styles is an awesome styler, great for curly styles, twists, plats and braiding. I love the light creamy scent and the holding power without and stickiness, flaking or greasiness. 








  SILK SHAKE


Treat your curls and give them a shake! SilkShake will revive dry and lifeless curls and hydrate while boosting shine, with Rice Bran oil. Perfect for detangling damp curls or for a boost in the morning or anytime of the day, on dry or damp hair. You can never spoil your curls too much!

The perfect product for coarse dry straight hair, such as some Asian hair. Comb-able when dry.

I first used Silk Shake while detangling my daughter's hair. It smoothed right through her tangles.  It's a medium texture spray detangler that can take out any tangles, believe me, I really put it to the test. My husband has had starter dreads in his hair for several months and decided he wanted to remove them. The first thing I grabbed was the SILK SHAKE. I sprayed each loc and worked the lotion in with my fingers and his locs came out so easily.



 Blended Beauty is one of my very favorite natural hair companies! Their products all work so well with various hair textures and smell so yummy! 


They have some great Gift Packs made up for all curly hair textures and mixed textures.....excellent gift ideas!!

They have generously offered to give the Natural Hair Kit which includes three products to one lucky Hair With Purpose follower for the holiday season!! Keep them for yourself or give them as a gift to the Natural Hair Lover in your life!!



Natural Hair Kit





This product is for the happy and nappy, cute and coily, wild and wavy, kinky, curly...well you get the picture! No matter what your ethnic background, if the hair that sits on top of your head can be described as such you know that highly textured hair in all its glory tends to be dry, brittle and prone to breakage.

Our Creme Brulee is an everyday leave-in moisturizer with ingredients hand selected for beautiful healthy hair. The formula starts with an infusion of healing herbs such as rosemary, burdock and Marshmallow root. Murumuru Butter, Aloe butter, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil and Grapeseed oil add shine, moisture and protection.

In total, an infusion of 13 premium natural ingredients create a light cream texture that is perfect for all natural hair types. When used on wet or dry hair, the Creme Brulee can actually change the texture of your hair from straw to silk making it soft and manageable.

Gentle enough for babies bottoms, penetrating for dry cracked man hands, and a detangling moisturizing treat for dry kinky to curly hair. Can it be true? Yup, join the green revolution!!

The Beija-Flor Naturals hemp buttercream is a luxurious concoction inspired by The Mixtress' time in Berkeley California. Hemp is naturally grown organic without pesticides and is a nutrient powerhouse rich in Omega 6, 3, and 9. Goes on smooth, absorbs instantly

and lasts all day. This nourishing blend is guaranteed to leave both skin and hair buttery soft and hydrated.


As with most Beija-Flor Natural products the Cali Peach Pomade can be used on both hair and skin! This product gives the shine and control of good old fashion hair grease and the skin protection of a body balm without the icky chemicals.

We use Passion Fruit, Peach Kernel and Coconut oils to nourish the scalp, correct split ends and serve as a shine enhancing agent for all hair types especially heat treated, chemically relaxed and color treated hair. On the body, this product is a light but lasting moisturizer.

It has 100% vegetarian ingredients and does not contain mineral oil or other petrochemicals. The firm texture is non-greasy/sticky and won't clog pours like other chemically concocted pomades. All of this goodness topped with a mouthwatering fragrance will be your biggest ally in the brutal winter months!

Suggested Use for Naturally Curly Hair: This product is great for sealing in moisture, use alone or layered on top of leave-in conditioner for optimum shine and softness. Can also be used for twists, braids or to smooth edges of hair.

Suggested Use for Body: Emulsify a small amount of product in palm of hands and apply all over body. For super soft skin use on damp skin after shower.
