Sweet Almond Oil

The almond is a species of tree native to the Middle East and South Asia. Sweet almond oil is obtained from the dried kernel of sweet almonds.

Almonds are a rich source of oil, the highest component being monounsaturated (oleic acid,an omega-9 fatty acid), linoleic acid (a polyunsaturated omega-6 essential fatty acid), and some saturated fatty acid.

The sweet almond oil has a slight odour and a nutty taste.

💫BENEFITS FOR HAIR

✨It is a great sealant for all that good moisture for your hair.

✨Due to it’s high content of saturated and mono unsaturated fats, it penetrates the hair shaft pretty well and will act as a good moisturiser (not as good as EVCO or EVOO, though)

✨Contains Vitamins A, B and E as well as omega fatty acids that promote hair growth and prevent breakage.

✨Adds shine to hair and really does give it a silky feel.

✨It’s also a good heat protector so apply it to your hair before heat application to prevent heat damage.

💫BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN

✨Sweet Almond Oil is a good emollient, and can be used to lubricate the skin during a massage session.

✨It removes dirt and dead skin while moisturizing your skin. This makes it ideal for makeup removal and a great oil for your sugar or salt face scrub.
You can use it for chapped lips, too.

✨It prevents and relieves sunburn.

✨Reduces dark circles under the eyes. For best results apply the oil before going to bed and allow it to work while you sleep. Do this for a couple of weeks and you’ll be sure to notice a difference.

Beautiful Textures Wash and Go.

10 years later, I’m finally getting around to doing a review on the Beautiful Textures Curl Control Defining Pudding and Moisture Butter Whipped Curl Cream. I’ve been using both products for a while and I love the curl definition they give me. They’re also great for me because I have about three different hair textures, which is always a pain to style uniformly.

I’m extremely lazy about my hair so I love the simplicity of a wash and go. To begin I washed my hair with the As I am coconut co wash and detangled my hair with a wide tooth comb. Then I combined equal parts of both products and applied to my hair while it was still dripping wet. I tried parting it, then got tired halfway through so I styled it, pulling the hair towards the direction I wanted it to lie. I put my head under the shower and then shook my head to separate the curls.

Since I was in a rush, I went to a nearby salon and sat under the dryer for 10 minutes and I was on my way. Quick and easy.  I love the curls and they come without the crunchiness gel leaves. Plus it takes me back to the good old TWA days. The style lasted me a week. All I did was spritz it with my mix of water, jojoba oil and leave in conditioner, shake the curls out and it was as good to go.

If anyone has any other creative ways to style wash and gos, hit us up on our Instagram and FB pages Afroliciouske and be sure to tag us so we can try them out too.  🙂

Happy Valentine’s day. xoxo
