PRODUCT: Hairveda Moist Condition 24/7, 16 oz., $7.00.
PURCHASED AT: Hairveda Online Shoppe
APPLICATION: After rinsing hair with warm water, I applied handful of Moist Condition 24/7. What I immediately noticed about this conditioner was how smooth my hair felt. I usually get serious shrinkage with my conditioner washes, but not so with the Moist Condition 24/7.
This conditioner stretched my curls (see pics above) and allowed me to easily detangle with my fingers. I kept conditioner in for about 20 minutes, then rinsed, leaving a little in.
RESULTS: Hair was light and fluffy, not weighed down, but still defined. No other proucts were added to my hair (see pics above). Red highlighted hair is from previous henna.
VERDICT: It’s a keeper. I wear a wash-n-go daily and this conditioner will be added to my routine. What I like the most about this conditioner is how smooth my hair felt and how it stretched my curls. In addition to that, 16 oz. of conditioner for $7.00 is a steal. I’m really impressed with Hairveda’s products and looking forward to purchasing more hair care products to review.
In my opinion, Hairveda is a great company. The owner, BJ, is personable, approachable, and knowledgeable. Hairveda’s products have good ingredients and deliver exactly what was promised. Check out the Hairveda Online Shoppe for more info about the company and new products available.

A true earring fanatic will spot a pair of fierce earrings anytime, anywhere. I stumbled upon Spontaneity’s online shop during a recent visit to Nappturality.com. I found the crochet earring designs of Spontaneity “irresistably fresh and different”.
Spontaneity was founded in April 2008 by Tara J. and is based out of Chicago, Illinois. Spontaneity specializes in custom-designed, handcrafted crochet accessories. The online store is equipped with a feature which allows the customer to create their own custom designs. How cool is that?
Spontaneity’s earrings can easily be worn by all, but would definitely“highlight or set off” the hair of any natural headed sista. They are that special accessory that gives a wash-n-go or twists a little extra sumptin, sumptin.
All earrings measure 2 inches in diameter and don’t forget, earrings can be custom designed.

PRODUCT: Hairveda Almond Glaze
PURCHASED AT: Hairveda’s New Online Shoppe
PRICE/WEIGHT: $7.99 for 4 oz.
APPLICATION: It has been hot and humid this past week, so last night I decided to do a light conditioning treatment. I added olive oil and honey to 3 tablespoons of shea butter. I covered my hair with a plastic bag, let it stay in about an hour, then fingercombed while rinsing out. I used an Aquis microfiber towel to dry, covered my hair, and went to bed. In the morning, I rinsed my hair, squeezed out excess water, and added the Hairveda Almond Glaze to my damp hair in sections.
RESULTS: Oh. My. Goodness. It has taken me all of six years to find a pomade with all natural ingredients that lays down my edges without irritation or itching, clumps my curls, and gives great shine. The Hairveda Almond Glaze is an alternative to pomades or hair grease for those who’d like to avoid petroleum and mineral oil. For me, it will also be replacing gels because of their glycerin content (which my hair doesn’t like). This glaze contains sweet almond oil and castor oil. It can be used to moisturize hair and scalp. The Hairveda Almond Glaze has a pleasant light almond scent.
Here are a few pics of my hair with the Hairveda Almond Glaze:
As you can see, I got good curl formation and great shine. My hair was soft to the touch with no resulting greasiness or stickness. The Hairveda Almond Glaze also laid down my graying hairline like nobody’s business.
THE VERDICT: I’ve finally found a pomade that fits in well with my low maintenance routine, and it has multipurpose abilities to boot.
- This pomade laid down my graying edges without irritation and itching (which usually results in hair loss for me). See blog post about Hairveda Vatika Frosting which helped regrow my hairline here.
- The ingredients in this pomade are natural which allows the product to also be used as a scalp and hair moisturizer.
- Due to its natural ingredients, it’s one of only a few products I can leave in overnight.
- Produces great hair shine and softness without greasiness or stickiness.
- Can be used on natural hair, curly hair, and permed hair.
