We’ve got 100 degree temperatures happening in Chicago, and my hair is letting me know how it feels about that. It’s not happy. Every day it’s fighting against extreme heat and sweat inducing humidity. Keeping my hair detangled, conditioned and somehow maintaining some kind of curl pattern has been challenging with this weather. As the heat increases, I find that I need to switch up my products. Here are the products my hair is LOVING this summer – and for the sake of brevity, I’m reviewing them Twitter-style. 140 characters or less!

Oyin Handmade Hair Dew – light and creamy, Hair Dew is giving my hair the moisture it so desperately craves now. Castor + coconut + olive oil + aloe = happy curls!

Koils by Nature Shealoe Leave-In Conditioner – My hair is in LOVE with this. When my curls are frizzy & sad, Shealoe brings my curl pattern back to life! Moisturizing, nurturing, awesome!

Eden Body Works Shampoo – Soothing peppermint, cleansing yet gentle on the scalp. Makes my hair clean but not squeaky or stripped dry. Essential relief for summer heat!

Twisted Sista Different Strokes Serum – For frizz-free shiny curls protected by a UV filter, Twisted Sista serum delivers & then some. For those who don’t mind ‘cones in their curls.

Naturalista Cosmetics Juicy Leave In Conditioner – It smells like cookies & love. Yummy! Shea butter, aloe, castor, jojoba, avocado, hemp, coconut, olive oil & glycerin. I’m in hair heaven!

Those are my summer faves of late! See anything you love, need, or gotta have?

For the Leave-In Conditioner, won't you get the feeling of being oily even if you apply a small amount? I'm thinking of buying one but would want to make sure, I don't feel heavy and uncomfortable. Would love to hear from you!

True fact on the Twisted Sista serum. I found some buried in my product pile and gave it a try and my curls absolutely love it. Best part is that it's pretty cheap.

I'm in the process of growing out my relaxed hair. And right now my hair is in that mid-length awkward stage. I plan on getting my hands on some Oyin Handmade Hair Dew.

Living in Mississippi is wonderful but its sort of a downer because we have like one wholes food store in the city which is not 'Wholes Food' but known as Rainbow. So I would love to try all of these products myself because I am just now hearing about them and in September of this year I would be 1year natural so I think its about time to try some new products. :-)

Keep in mind that your property is eventually packaged correctly to avoid damage. That is reason for hiring moving companies that are able to help you transfer easier during this time. This will enable them to bargain well and save money.

Ear deformities, especially in children can become a target for the less caring children resulting in the child being ridiculed and teased. Electrolysis - Electrolysis is a solution which utilizes a needle to kill the hair at its root. Any cosmetic plastic procedure could be a worthwhile and extraordinary experience for both the patient and surgeon, if this is done in the light of surgical standards in term of safety.

You can take the losses if you're a real estate professional or if your income is low, but most investors don't qualify. When making this decision while taking in their professional background, allow your own knowledge and gut do some of the thinking as well. If you can afford to, have a personal assistant come in and help you.

People to facilitate their services, flexibility and immediate availability that offer these services because of the use every day. If its taken you 5, 10 or 15 years to get into the condition youre in now, then trust me, a stroll just isnt enough.

Now when it comes to the actually tweezing part, you want to make sure that you're using a good pair of tweezers. It is often mixed with other oils to keep cost down but still provide benefits. You can get great results at a much cheaper rate by looking for hair transplant abroad surgeons.

Artificial baits include spoons, jigs, ribbon baits, rattler baits & streamer baits. Leave your windows open a few hours a day and then you get to clean the black soot off of the floors. Some day you will have to divide your worms and start a new farm because of their rapid reproduction rate.
