Not Your Mother's Clean Freak...

Being an African-American with kinky 4c natural hair, I'm always looking for different techniques and products that I can use to assist in my newfound obsession.

I've heard so much about dry shampoo and how it's great for winter protective styles or just any time in general. Today I tried the Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo.


I absolutely love it.

I went from dirty oily hair to clean hair in a matter of seconds. I would definitlely be turning to this product on those days where I  need clean hair for a style but don't have time to deal with wet hair. Also when I have a braided or twisted protective style I know this will be one of my staples as well.

Montagne Jeunesse Clay Infused Fabric Masques

Stuck in the house on this beautiful Sunday afternoon with a nasty stomach virus! Not exactly my idea of a good time so I decided to pamper myself and enjoy an at home spa day.

I remembered that I had one of these clay masks so I decided to try it. I've never used this type of mask before so I was excited to try it.



I absolutely love pomegranate anything and was very excited to crack this bad boy open. However, I probably should have paid attention to the "fabric infused" part. This is literally fabric infused with pomegranate and clay goodness. There are eye, nose and mouth hole cutouts for easy application. I was a little weary at first when I had to pull this liquidy/creamy fabric out of the package but once I had it on my face I was in love. Very easy to apply, very minimal mess compared to other cream style masks...and it smelled great!


Feeling weird...but loving it!

Let it sit for about 15 minutes and remove the fabric....Easy!

Upon removal and rinsing my face off I did notice a slight tingling. My face was very dry and it was tingling a bit.

I would definitely have to try this again to get a better opinion but so far I would not purchase this product again. It felt good while it was on but after I did not like how my face felt.


Edit: 10 minutes after rinsing my face felt better. I noticed it felt smoother and definitely tighter. Most masks moisturize but you will have to use a separate moisturizer with this one as my face still feels very dry. I still think I would have to try this a few more times to tell if I really like it.
