cre'me cleanse - non sudsing shampoo alternative for curly, coarse, natural hair

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cre'me cleanse is simply a hair cleanser in cream form. It does not lather like a liquid cleanser, but instead gently froths.

Cre'me cleanse contains peppermint extract to help remove dirt and debris from scalp without removing hair's vital moisture.
Can also be used as a light conditioner for those of you with fine, limp, or oily hair.
Cre'me cleanse contains no parabens, sulfates, hair softening chemicals (sometimes found in fabric softeners), and is vegan, gluten, & cruelty free.

Ingredients: organic aloe juice, cetearyl alchohol, castor oil, stearalkonium chloride, hydrolysed wheat protein, and pro-vitamin b5

 

 

Our Experience: After thoroughly wetting her hair I smoothed the Crème Cleanse through Jamilah's hair. I liked the peppermint smell, peppermint always reminds me of clean and Christmas lol. Maybe a perfect Holiday gift? But the peppermint scent is great to use on the whole family because I know the males in my house always dislike when I hand them flowery or sweet scented products.

The products said it gently froths but I didn't notice any frothing in Jamilah's hair, it smoothed through like hair lotion. I massaged it into her scalp and kind of dragged it through to her ends. I ended up using quite a bit of product, maybe twice the amount of the picture above because her dry hair seemed to want to soak up the product. She rinsed her hair and it felt great. Her hair was not feeling stripped or "squeaky" clean but cleansed and refreshed. 

 

I love that it's all natural. I love that it can be used for everyone in my household with curly, natural hair. It's also vegan and cruelty free!!!

 

 

Condition - vegan rinse out conditioner for curly, coarse, dry, damaged, natural hair

 

 

 

Condition is an amazing rinse-out conditioner perfect for curly, coarse, dry, chemically treated , and natural hair. Condition absorbs into the hair cuticle providing essential moisture to the hair and rinses clean leaving no residue or build-up that can weigh hair down. Condition is vegan, free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrance, and harsh irritants.

 

 

Our Experience: After rinsing Jamilah's hair we blotted the excess water from her hair and smoothed through the Conditioner. This product smelled very nice to me, I smelled rosemary and some kind of mint in this product as well. It's not a heavy heavy conditioner, not exactly light either. We left the product in Jamilah's Hair for 5 minutes and she rinsed. Her hair was soft and smelled very nice. There wasn't the "slip" you get with products that add chemicals and silicones but it's much better for your hair.

I liked this product for an everyday (or every wash) conditioner. It's also Vegan and cruelty free and natural! Awesome! Good stuff!

 

 

Natural Hair Cre'me, luxurious hydrating leave in butter for coarse, curly, natural hair. Great for moisturizing dry skin too.

 

 



 

A luxurious super rich moisturizer for hair & skin.

Ingredients are simple & sweet : coconut oil, Shea butter, sweet almond oil, avocado butter, & essential oils for scent.
An essential product for curly, coarse, textured, and distressed hair. With regular use, hair becomes softer, shinier, curls actually curl - not frizz!, and distressed hair becomes more manageable.
Cre'me does double duty as an amazing body cream on hands & cuticles, legs and great for overworked feet!

 

Our Experience: What is this cream Not good for? It makes a great dry skin cream, especially for people with dry skin and eczema like Jamilah. Nice clean scent not particularly sweet or too strong. I also used the to moisturize Jamilah's ends and seal the moisture in. THEN I used this cream to twist Jamilah's hair. (Yes, she is crazy about twists right now!) Great product.... awesome versatility! I love products that can be used multiple ways!

 

After using this collection of products from Beehive Hair Company Jamilah's hair looked so healthy and shiny. I know that it will take some time to truly get her hair back to health but this product definitely helps to improve the look of dry frazzled hair, and with time, the condition also!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some other products we tried from Beehive Hair Company 

 

 

BALM

Literally dozens of uses.....

Dry lips - ✔; cracked cuticles - ✔; dry elbows - ✔; sore nose from endless blowing - ✔;
funky feet - ✔; crazy flyaway hair driving you crazy - ✔✔✔
Balm is great to stash in kids school bags, perfect for purses, gym bags, and travel.


Ingredients: sweet almond oil, beeswax, Shea butter, coco butter, jojoba oil, evening primrose oil, avocado butter, vitamin E, rosehip oil, aloe oil, neem oil, citrus essential oil blend.
As always - paraben, petroleum, gluten, & cruelty free

 

Our Experience:

 

Balm is good in that it can be used for soo many things. I get super dry lips this time of year that literally crack-open, so painful. I used balm in a large crack and it was healed by the next day!! Also used it for my elbows and cuticles and I can see using it much more.

 

My only issue with BALM isn't really a big deal but I did find it to be quite firm. That's good in that it won't like melt if you have it in your purse or bag but I did find it a little difficult to apply. I found that my finger temperature would not melt the balm so I needed to scrape a little out and apply a thin layer. On my lips the balm melted quite nicely (be sparing when it does melt a bit a little goes a long way!) and on my skin a little massaging melted it nicely into my skin. Don't let this keep you from purchasing BALM however, it's well worth the price and this minor detail.

Kera Vada Review

As I have mentioned in the past Jamilah's hair has some damage. Jamilah had been caring for her own hair and she did a lot of flat ironing and pulling her hair into a very tight pony tail. He edges have some breakage and her ends have been trimmed to get rid of some raggedy ends. Our goal is to get her hair back to health and let it grow to the length she had it and beyond!!

When I read about Kera Vada products on Etsy I knew I needed to try it in her hair! Kera Vada makes heavily concentrated Ayurvedic oils that help improve the look, feel and condition of the hair and scalp.

Kera Veda uses no mineral oil, vegetable oil, waxes, or other fillers that leave a messy buildup or clog your scalp. Designed for all hair types, Kera Veda oils are the decadent treat your hair has been waiting for.

After we ordered with Kera Vada they sent us the following message "We ship 2 priority mail to all of our customers. Its bad when you make a woman wait to long for her hair products ;)" I thought that was great! It did arrive super quickly as promised!!


The first product we tried:

4x Concentrated Amla Brahmi Fenugreek Bhringaraj Neem Hibiscus Now with MSM! Ayurveda Conditioner Hair Growth

Ingredients: Organic Amla, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Grapeseed Oil, Organic Brahmi Oil, Organic Fenugreek, Organic Hibiscus, Organic Tulsi, Organic Bhringraj, Moroccan Argan Oil, Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Dead Sea Minerals


Instructions:
Pre-Shampoo

Shampoo can be quite drying, stripping away an excess of natural oils from the hair shaft and leaving hair dry and dull. For added protection before you cleanse, apply the oil, making sure your hair is thoroughly coated. Keep it on overnight, then in the morning shampoo as usual. Your hair should feel soft and shiny, being less susceptible to breakage. This will help your hair to grow longer.


We used this product as a pre-shampoo I applied the oil all over Jamilah's hair and scalp and left it over night under a conditioning cap. (which we ran out of so my poor child wore a grocery bag over her hair...ooops! lol) I love the bottle that these oils are packaged in because the tip unscrews and it's easy to control how much oil you are applying. I wish all oils came with a cap like this!!

As soon as I started applying the oil Jamilah asked "what is in this stuff?" I replied, "Lots of great oils for your hair and scalp!" and she said, "it must have cake oil because it smells delicious like a birthday cake!" HA HA. It does have a very good smell!!

Her hair was very soft when she rinsed it out and even after she shampooed her hair!

I plan to continue to use this on her hair and scalp. I will probably try and add the oil to other products as the company suggests! Because it is so concentrated you can add and oz or two to shampoo or conditioner and make that product even more beneficial to your hair!!

I am amazed that there are so many great oils (read more about them here under "item details") packed into this treatment for such an awesome price. This 4 oz. bottle of 4x concentrated sells for just $19.99!


The second product we tried:


After the pretreat with the Herbal Oil treatment, she washed her hair and we used the Hair Butter with Amla Brahmi Bringaraj Shea Butter Jojoba Castor Oil Almond Oil .

Ingredients: amla, brahmi, bringraj, fenugreek, cocoa butter, shea butter, mango butter, sweet almond oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, Castor Oil, Green Tea, Jojoba

I used this product in two different ways (don't you love products like that?)

The first way I used the butter was as a deep conditioner. I smoothed it through Jamilah's freshly washed hair and scalp. I covered her hair with a plastic conditioning cap (eh hem plastic bag) and let it sit for 1/2 hour. After a half hour I took a dryer and on a low setting I blow dried right over the plastic cap. Since I do not have a dryer to sit under I have found that this method, though tiring, works pretty well as an alternative. Putting heat on the hair helps the product to melt into the hair and scalp, which helps all those nutrients really get into the cuticle of the hair. After another 1/2 hour she rinsed her hair.

When her hair had started to dry a little bit I began to detangle her hair. Because we had used the oil the night before and the butter the next day there was no issue with detangling. I easily detangled her hair with a bit of the butter and my fingers. Because Jamilahs hair is damaged we are trying to use the LEAST amount of tools on her hair possible to lessen breakage and stress on the hair.

I then used then used a rat tail just at the root of the hair to section off her hair in a brick like pattern for TWISTS! Putting the rest of her hair loosely on top of her head with a scrunchie and section at a time I took out about an inch wide are, smoothed the hair butter onto it and twisted! This hair butter makes a great product for twists and twist outs.

I guess we used it in 3 ways... #1 Deep Conditioner #2 Detangler #3 Twisting product besides all the benefits that the butter itself has for the hair and scalp! Another steal at $14.99!

 

Here are Jamilah's Twists
