Au Naturale First Impressions

By
The Au Naturale line from Dark and Lovely was sent to me this week. I was sent the shampoo, conditioner, curl pudding and the hair butter.


Here is my first impressions of each of the Au Naturale products. If you've been following my blog for a while, you'd know that I've placed a ban on myself with regard to purchasing new hair products.

I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own.

When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface.
