Last week, I received my order from Safi Hair Care's line, a company started by Alex of "The Good Hair Blog", and here are my thoughts....
First, she's very efficient in time delivery and the 4oz bottles are so cute, aren't they! Kudos to her for that :)
As for the product, after trying her Curl Clouds, I had high hopes for this product but was slightly disappointed in this one. I knew the lavender in it would turn me off but I opted to get it because it had mango so I was still wishing for a mango smell of some sort, but the lavender scent was just way too overpowering, so the smell was a no-go.
As for the product in itself, it sadly left my hair slightly dry, which could be from the fact that I forgot to apply my leave-in or the fact that it contains tea tree oil. I did a twistout on freshly washed hair yesterday and applied this as the only product because it contains all of what I use to seal and moisture my hair, ie, castor oil, aloe vera, and shea butter...but something in there just left my hair dry :(.
I did however re-wet it last night with my veggie glycerin, water, and leave in conditioner mist so we'll see how the results turn out today.... Hopefully it's just cause I didn't use a leave-in cause I loved the Curl Clouds so I want to love this as well... I think I'll contact her to make sure I used it correctly, but since I used it as a sealant, I don't see where I went wrong.... I'll give it another go tho come wash day.
But if you haven't, check her out! She's still a fab chica :)
Be blessed,

Lavender Mango Whip Review
2010 Hair Update
Since Dec' 2009, I haven't blowdried or straightened my hair..... I had started a challenge to see if I could go without heat for a year since I used to straighten my hair at least 1x a week prior to correct knowledge of taking care of my natural hair.
But come this December, I will be blowdrying and straigtening my hair, mainly for a trim and to see length progression. But so far, so good.
My 1st goal was to: Successfully transiton from relaxed to natural hair.
=COMPLETED!!!!!
My 2nd goal is: To maintain healthy hair while retaining length.
And it looks like I'm on the right track =)
Be blessed,

As you can see, I rarely ever wore my hair in it's natural state, most of these pics are when I was still transitioning so I always wore it straight.....

Lavender Mango Whip
Hopefully by now, you've heard of "The Good Hair Blog", if not, please check it out. Blog owner Alex and the blog itself are just the absolute cutest. She also makes handmade hair products from her hair line, Safi Hair Care, one of which I've already sampled, Curl Clouds and I absolutely love it....
More are now in stock so can't wait to repurchase....but before I do, I just ordered the Lavender Mango Whip and can't wait to try it out. I'm not really a Lavender fan, but me and Mango are the best of buddies, so all is well....
Will review product after receiving :)
Check out her blog or her Etsy shop to order yours!
Be blessed,
