OIL HUNTING AT MEGA PLAZA


Hi guys,
    It has been a weird couple of weeks so kindly pardon my long silence. I went to Mega Plaza in VI for a spot of shopping about three weeks ago and as usual I went to check out the oil stand. I found such a wide array of oils that it felt like I was in oil heaven. There were more than 6 brands of Olive oil and as usual I chose the most mysterious looking one with a super sexy bottle. 

N1130

I saw about 2 brands of Coconut oil. I used the Parachute brand last month and I really like it, but I was open to trying a new brand. I found this one that looked semi-solid and I immediately grabbed it.

N570


I also found an oil I have had on my to-buy list for a while - Sweet Almond Oil. Now Foods brand has it for about N4500 and I was planning to get it from Olori but then I ran into this brand. I was a little worried because it is a lot (A WHOLE LOT!!!) cheaper but I'll try it first and see if its good enough for my hair and skin.



N730

I haven't had the time to whip up any DIY creations so they are still unopened but I'm all out of whipped Shea butter so I might have to bring out the food processor tonight.



In other news it is length check time!!!! I am super excited, Can you guess why? Expect a hair update next!

    I had a bottle of the same brand of Almond oil. Got it at Next Cash & Carry in Abuja. Please keep us posted on how your hair fares with the oil? I was really excited when I found it, but was disappointed afterwards as it left me with nothing to remember.

      I won't be suprised if I am underwhelmed, as it was ridiculously cheap. Will do a review when I get around to using it.

      You can get it from any big supermarket. The Indian food section always has coconut oil ;-)

APHOGEE 2 STEP PROTEIN TREATMENT REVIEW

Hi guys,    I don't know if I have mentioned it before but I have been shedding like crazy for months. I don't know how I still have any hair left on my head. My hair is also breaking and doesn't seem to retain moisture as much as it used to. After a really terrible day of detangling( I use a wide tooth comb now) and I knew I had to get help. I have seen quite a few Instagram testimonials on the Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment so I decided to try it out. Its a hard protein treatment that promises to stop breakage and shedding. I read a few reviews online first then I got right into it. I decided to get the sachets since its my first time. The white sachet contains the protein treatment while the lilac sachet is the balancing moisturiser.  N1000      The instructions were simple.  To begin I laid out my products. From left to right- Aussie moist conditioner , applicator bottle, ORS shampoo, ORS replenishing conditioner(DC) and the Aphoge
