Product Description : "Greg Juice" has been one of our most popular products since its introduction more than two years ago - "Juices and Berries"is the same oil-free mixture of vegetable moisturizers and herbal essences; the same beautiful amber pump spray bottle. The change? The fragrance... Juices and Berries is fragranced with the juicest, fruitiest, brightest fruit scent we could find! Perfect for summer, or anytime you want to sweeten your day.

The therapeutic effects are the same as for Greg Juice- spring water, strongly infused with a variety of herbs known to help stimulate the scalp and encourage hair growth; vegetable ingredients for detangling, moisture and suppleness; vegetable glycerin for humectancy and shine; and an essential oil blend nutritious to the scalp.

This formula, like Greg Juice, is excellent for a daily pick-me-up on cornrows or twists. My sisters say it keeps their locs moisturized without weighing them down. And if I tried to detangle my hair without a bottle standing nearby, it would stand up and laugh at my comb. Many uses, this potion has. Cop an 8 oz bottle and find out for yourself. . .

Ingredients : Purified water infused with horsetail, lavender, nettle, roses, and chamomile; organic flaxseeds; aloe vera juice; vegetable glycerine; essences of lavender, sweet orange, ylang ylang, and rosemary; grapefruit seed extract; citric acid; fragrance; and love. 

Cost : $11.00 for 8 oz. bottle @ CurlMart.com

My Thoughts : Love Love LOVE this stuff !!!!  It moisturizes and gives a great sheen to my hair.  I've used it to refresh my wash and go's, twists and my braids .  The smell is INCREDIBLE it reminds me of skittles and star bursts, but it's not so strong that it'll give you a headache.   Also I recently discovered that when I applied this under the Lustrasilk Shea Butter Cholesterol it gave it more slip and made it easier to work through my hair.  This is a great product and I will be going back for a second order.

Soooo I've been getting a tons of messages on YouTube, from my AWESOME subbies, asking me when the heck am I gonna make a new video.  Well to tell the truth I don't know when I'll record a new.  Recording and editing videos is very time consuming.  I have a crappy camera that only records up to 5 minutes, so I have to constantly stop, transfer to computer, erase from camera and record the next clip.  That's a lot of work right!!  Soooo in the meantime check out some these beautiful and informative YouTubers that I like to watch in my downtime.  Enjoy :-)

My Thoughts : I really, really wanted to like this product.  The description and the ingredients list had me so excited, I thought for sure this conditioner would give me tons of moisture and shine.  It did neither.  Previous to applying the deep conditioner I co-washed my hair and applied it generously in 4 sections.   I left it in for about an hour covered with a plastic cap, then rinsed with cold water.  My hair didn't feel any different than before....Sigh :-(  The consistency is comparable to Suave Tropical Coconut conditioner ( which I am not a fan of).  The smell is amazing but a fruity fragrance is not enough to make me a repeat buyer.  I don't believe in wasting money so I'll just use what's leftover as a leave in or something.

SensationalColor.com says : Gray is the color of intellect, knowledge, and wisdom. It is perceived as long-lasting, classic, and often as sleek or refined. It is a color that is dignified, conservative, and carries authority. Gray is controlled and inconspicuous and is considered a color of compromise, perhaps because it sits between the extremes of black and white. Gray is a perfect neutral, which is why designers often use it as a background color.
