Dark & Lovely just recently launched their newest haircare line called Au Naturale, for women with natural hair, whether it’s wavy, curly, coily or kinky. Dark and Lovely has been in the game for….ever, maybe? I used to use their relaxers way back when!
Anyway, the media event was held at Arena in NYC and hosted by natural hair blogger and author Nikki of Curly Nikki! OMG!! I was really, really excited to meet her! I’ve been reading her blog for years!

So I returned from an amazing trip to Turkey and I needed to give my hair a little TLC. I decided to do a deep cleanse with bentonite clay. What’s bentonite clay you ask?? I used Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay with contains 100% natural calcium bentonite clay, which I bought at Fairway in NYC for $6.95. You can find this at other stores and all over online.

A bit on bentonite clay…
Calcium bentonite or green bentonite is a naturally occurring clay that is known for it’s highly absorbing and detoxification properties. It can be used both internally and externally, but if you are going ingest bentonite clay, do copious amounts of research and proceed at your own risk! Anyway, calcium bentonite absorbs many things, water, oil, sebum, dirt, toxins, metals, free radicals, bacteria and other kinds of impurities and it is quite popular in the haircare and skincare communities. Many people with oily or acne-prone skin make facial masques as it quite effectively removes surface oil. I got some of it on my forehead and my dry skin felt suuuuuuper tight, so I know it works! I used it to cleanse and detoxify my hair, like a hair masque. So here’s how I mixed it:

So I tried this quick updo after I took down my 2-strand twists.

Just a quick note: This weekend is the last chance to visit the SheaMoisture booth in Bryant Park at 42nd Street. They have their entire line of products including their men’s grooming and baby line (and some items that I have not seen consistently in stores). I have been hauling and I will be back for some more goodies. As I have mentioned before, I really like this natural line and they are good for naturals, non-naturals and those transitioning. I also have picked up some of their body care items that I am liking so far. I think that they may still have the 3 for $20 offer, which is a steal of a deal!!!
So head on the Bryant Park and check it out. Last day is Sunday January 8th.
Let me know what you guys haul!!!
