My Shampoo of choice for my sisterlocks
8:49 AM
Now that I don’t have use the starter shampoo any more. I'm left with wondering what type of shampoo I should use for my sisterlocks. I could go with the next sisterlocks shampoo choice, but I wanted something that I could buy at a store, and not have delivered. So I went ahead and did some research on shampoos for my sisterlocks, and my requirement was very simple, I was looking for a shampoo that does not leave much of a residue, does not weight down my locks, and also leave my hair looking and feeling clean. While browsing through sisterlocks blogs, I came upon the Aura Rejuvenating Shampoo, Rosemary Mint by Naturelle
.
.I read some more online reviews and base on that, I decided to buy it. This product remind me of the starter shampoo with a better scent. It really does clean and stripe out much of the grinds for that particular week. Some of the reviewers feel it strips out too much (hence why I consider this shampoo a clarifier), but they all agree that it does clean your hair. I purchase the conditioner as well, but didn’t use it, as advised by my consultant, but it was on special, and I got a second bottle of conditioner for free. You can buy it at Sally Beauty Supply store. All and all, I highly recommend this shampoo, and if you are looking for a shampoo that clean and smells divine, then this will be a great pick. I love trying new product, so if you have another one that you think I should try, let me know.

LOVE your site....Not so in love with the grammatical errors....particularly present/past tense form of verbs. Want help editing? Let me know, I am a librarian with a journalism background....thank you for the excellent information and advice!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind helping me edit, that be great. My email address space out for web crawler is sprevaly at gmail period com. Now I'm going to look up "present/past tense form of verbs" and see if I can improve in that area. If you have any other suggestion, please let me know. I really want to improve. Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteHi Kreyola! I have just started my DIY microlocks journey this month and finding your blog is a of very great help for me :) ! I was wondering if you have switched shampoo, and also, what is your current routine? Are you using petroleum - based products or do you flee them? What is a good shampoo for you? Does it really help to do a bicarbonate wash? Sorry if I am asking so much (and sorry for my english I'm french so english is tough for me ^^!) I wish you awesome Holidays :) !
ReplyDeleteI will release an update on my routine; I have changed it a bit since my locks are more mature now. I never used petroleum on my hair, even when I was a natural. You need to stay away from them as well, especially now that you are locked. Those will cause build up and lint issues.
DeleteA good shampoo for me is whatever contains SLS or something similar. Yes it is drying, but I found those type of shampoo cleans my locks the best. Remember you can always restore moisture to your hair but build up for a long period of time is much harder to get rid of. I don't know what is a bicarbonate wash, so I'm sure it is not needed (whatever it is).
Your English is fine and trust when I said I would be the last person to pick on that since my grammar etc. is not that great either…keep asking the question, I have thing to look up…such as this “bicarbonate wash lol.
Again thanks a lot for your reply ^^! About the bicarbonate wash, I'm so sorry, but it a translation issue. You have already discuss this here: http://kreyolalocks.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-baking-soda-wash-acv-rinse.html . In french, "baking soda" is " bicarbonate de soude" haha! However, I'm part of the "keep it simple" team so if I understand the importance of preventing buildups and have a good shampoo. And no petrolum based products. I will wait for your routine update before I ask more questions ;) (if I can wait ^^!) !
ReplyDeleteAhh...that what you meant lol. Since I have been using product that contain SLS or similar (normally they have clarifier stated on the label) I have found that I don't need to do a BSW or ACV Rinse. So if you don't mind the shampoos I have listed here as good clarifier, you may not need to do it either.
DeleteThanks :) !
DeleteHi, what do you use as a conditioner? Do you use a leave in conditioner?
ReplyDeleteI don't do leave in conditioners, but currently I have to say I'm loving the Anti-Breakage Keratin Oil OGX Shampoo & Conditioner. They have done wonder to my scalp and I will continue to rave about them lol.
DeleteNote: If I use conditioners I tend to stick with the ones that comes the original shampoo because I think they are made to combat whatever the shampoo stripes out (just my two cent on the matter).
