Product Review: Karen's Body Beauiful

It's official... I have found my new staple product.

Last week, I ordered the Karen's Body Beautiful Heavenly Hair Sample. The fragrances I chose were the coco lime for the hair milk and hair cream, pomegrante guava for the hair butter and cranberry cocktail for the jojoba hair oil. I also received two samples of  KBB's body lotion in the lavendar vanilla and white tea.

First, I have to say that every single product smelled delicious. The coco lime reminded me of a fresh box of Fruit Loops and the lavender vanilla was airy and had a hint of baby powder to it. (I've posted the all-natural  ingredients of each of the products below pics).

But it isn't as if I made this purchase for the smells. After co-washing my hair with Suave Coconut conditioner and detangling under the water with HE Hello Hydration, I applied my Giovanni Direct Leave-in Conditioner and parted my hair to begin my twists. To each section, I applied some of the KBB Hair milk. As someone who has tried Carol Daughter's Hair Milk, I feel it's important to add that the KBB version is creamier, lighter, smells better and applied easier. I then used a finger tip amount of KBB's hair cream on each piece of hair I wanted to twist. As usual, I twisted my head, used bobby pins to curl it, let my hair air dry for about five hours, put on a scarf and went to bed.

Well this morning, I woke up to soft, untangled curls. And the smells were awesome too!!  I still haven't found a use for the hair butter or the oil, but hopefully as the week progresses I'll find a way to integrate both into my routine.  
After failing with Carol Daughter's, Miss Jessie's and Kinky-Curly, I really feel I have finally struck gold.
