Oyin Handmade Is The Bomb + Mini Review, & Hair Talk
After reading a plethora of reviews from fellow natural honey's, I decided to try out Oyin Handmade-- and might I just say it is the bomb! While looking at the website I was pretty undecided about what to purchase, so I went with the 「Whipped Pudding」 and 「Shine & Define」 hair creme/styling serum for my twists, twist outs, and braid outs. I waited anxiously for these products to arrive in the mail, yet at the same time I didn't want to get my hopes up too high after being disappointed by the Carol's Daughter hair products. But fortunately, unlike Carol's Daughter, Oyin Handmade doesn't claim to be "natural" but then contains ingredients that are hard to pronounce. All of their ingredients are %100 natural and great.
The 「Whipped Pudding」 is a thick shea butter based hair cream that moisturizes, is good to lock in moisture and keep hair "supple for days", and "adds pliability from scalp to ends". You can even use it as a face cream if you don't like it on your hair, but this baby is going to be strictly used for my hair. Oyin added chocolate and vanilla fragrance to it, and it smells just like that; so nice. But it's very thick, and next time I'm definitely ordering the 8 ounce jar; it leaves my hair so soft!
The other product, 「Shine & Define」 is described as a light, nourishing styling product. When I use it in conjunction with the "Whipped Pudding" it does what it's called--it really defines my twist or braid pattern and it gives my hair more shine; plus it smells really nice as well--like pineapple?
But for ages I've been pretty "whatever" about my hair. But after seeing Nikole from Moptop Maven's hair and looking at Kimmaytube's Youtube video's, I decided to start taking better care of my hair and grow it longer. Right now it's a few inches past my collar bone but I want it bra strap length.
