#sponsored Trying a new hair care routine with Head & Shoulders for Textured Hair






I've been growing my post-cancer hair for a few months now. I went from the practically bald girl you see at the bottom.... to a less-bald girl now. I have a tiny afro and I'm reasonably pleased with it. I've learned some things about myself and my hair in the past 4-6 months and not all of it is fun! But... in the spirit of trying new things, learning more about me, accepting all parts of myself -- all parts of Reclaiming My Fabulousness -- I've been trying. And it has been good.



In light of that, when I learned about Head & Shoulders coming out with new products for textured hair, I thought it would be worth a try. And since this weekend is both Valentine's Day AND my two year anniversary, I definitely wanted to do my best to come up with something sort of cute for these kinks.

*You can laugh because honeyyyyy.... I often feel like a cross between Sideshow Bob and Coolio some days, trying to get my little 'fro to look like the youtube natural hair gurus. Anyhoo...*


So, what did I think?



Well, when I received the products I was actually surprised at how much I liked the packaging. I like that they seem to have thought about how you actually use the products even in the packaging. The co-wash (which is conditioner for those of us who don't really use shampoo) has the opening on the bottom. That is GENIUS! I stay having upside down conditioner bottles in my shower because the product is tough to get out of the bottle.

It smells GREAT too. Very lovely scent but not overpowering. For me, this is kind of important. I love smelling sweet, but you ever bump into someone who just has too much going on scent-wise? Yeah... not trying to be that girl. This has a pleasant smell but its kind of low-key, not too strong at all. So you don't have to worry about the smell clashing with other fragrances you may wear. And hopefully it won't be uncomfortable for those who are sensitive to smells (that was a major problem when I was in chemotherapy).


All of the products are thick and feel good to the touch. No thin, watery products over here. You won't feel like you're not getting your money's worth. I have to admit that I was surprised that I didn't feel that familiar tingle when I shampooed and conditioned my hair. But, when I used the scalp soother, it gave me that cool, tingly feeling on my scalp I was expecting. Again, the smell was lovely and I felt like it was definitely doing its work on my scalp.


I gave myself a few days to try out these products. I shampooed with the 2-in-1 shampoo and used the co-wash to condition. I used the scalp soother afterwards and then just let my hair air-dry while wrapped in my trusty silk scarf.

*Yassss... this sister has a routine now!!*

I waited a few days and checked out how the hair felt and how it reacted. And then I did it all again and styled it.

My verdict??


These are great products if you have issues with dandruff or dry, itchy scalp. I will suggest that you definitely deep-condition (depending on how your hair responds to that) but I do expect to be extra-cute for my guy this weekend. Check out some shots of my hair while using the product. (and yeah... ignore the foolishness, lol)

But seriously, if you have an issue with dandruff, this is a good product. I know how many of us suffer from "pj-ism" (pj = product junkie) and keep adding more and more "magical products" to our bathroom cupboards. Give this a try. I think you'll like it.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. 

Thanks so much Head & Shoulders and Clever Girls for letting me try this product line. I feel extra excited about this weekend now!
