			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1057" title="curlyq1" src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/curlyq1-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" style="float: left; margin: 5px;" />After a long and worthwhile wait, I was finally able to try the Curly Q&#8217;s for Target line in my little ones hair. Although I was unable to try the shampoo and conditioner in the line, my local Target did offer the Curly Q&#8217;s La La Meringue Moisturizer and the Red Velvet Moisturizing Curl Cream.</p>
<p><strong>The Packaging</strong><br />
For starters the packaging is just absolutely adorable. I can admit that the designers took a lot of time in making these products stand out. The labels look better than the Curly Q&#8217;s professional labeling in my humble opinion. The labels consist of a little princess and prince riding a unicorn in an enchanted forest. How cute is that?</p>
<p><strong>The Products</strong><br />
<a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/1.jpg" rel="lightbox[1050]"><img src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/1-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="Before 3a/3b Hair" width="150" height="150" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1052" /></a>The La La Meringue Moisturizer reminds me much of the Lavish Curls Moisturizer and the Moist Curls Moisturizer from the professional Curls line. Although the ingredients aren&#8217;t exactly the same for the professional brand contains more herbal extracts, the La La Meringue Moisturizer still did the job. This product left my sons hair lightly moisturized and aided in detangling his 3a/3b hair.</p>
<p>Before using the La La Meringue Moisturizer, I always mist my sons hair lightly with plain water. I then spray the moisturizer into his hair and work it into his hair with my hands before detangling with a wide tooth comb. Please keep in mind that the La La Meringue Moisturizer sprays out in a stream and not a mist to help concentrate it on tangled areas in the hair.</p>
<p><a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/4.jpg" rel="lightbox[1050]"><img src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/4-150x150.jpg" alt="" style="float: left; margin: 5px;" title="Red Velvet Curl Cream" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1055" /></a>At first I figured that the Red Velvet Curl Cream would be similar to the Curly Q&#8217;s Milkshake, but its nothing like it. This styling cream is similar to something like a hair milk so to speak because its a bit more thicker. The only product out of the Curls line that I can compare it to, is the Its A Curl Ring Around the Curlies Leave-In - <em>which I love</em> ?. Overall it did define my little ones hair. His hair was shiny, bouncy, moisturized, and without any frizz. His hair was not crunchy or hard at all and the product exceedingly meet my expectations. I actually like the Red Velvet Curl Cream more than the Curly Q Milkshake for my sons hair! It leaves it much more moisturized and softer than the Milkshake does, which is something I was looking for</p>
<p><a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/3.jpg" rel="lightbox[1050]"><img src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/3-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="After Side View" width="150" height="150" style="margin: 5px;" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1054" /></a><a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2.jpg" rel="lightbox[1050]"><img src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="After Front View" width="150" height="150" style="margin: 5px;" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1053" /></a><a href="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/5.jpg" rel="lightbox[1050]"><img src="http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/5-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="After: Dry Hair" width="150" height="150" style="margin: 5px;" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1056" /></a></p>
<p><strong>My Conclusion</strong><br />
These products get two thumbs up from me <img src='http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  <img src='http://growblackhair.net/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  . I absolutely love them and they are worth the $10.99 I invested in them. If you have a Target in your area I recommend that you try these products out for your little ones hair. I&#8217;m sure that you will love them just as much as I and my little one does!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our line has been improved and new products have been added to the line. If you haven&#8217;t heard of the Ambrosia Hair care line, below is an overview of the line, its new and current products and where to get them!</p>
<p><strong>Ambrosia Hair Beauty Products</strong> is a natural hand-made hair product line made specifically for African American Hair. The products in this line can be used on natural hair of all curl types as well as relaxed hair. Each ingredient that is used is individually researched extensively to provide the safest and best possible results for the consumer. AmbrosiaHair is also very diligent in <strong>not</strong> using harmful herbal additives. Some <em>natural</em> product lines will use ingredients in their products that have a potential to cause the consumer to have negative adverse effects from ingredients that are not considered safe. AmbrosiaHair does not do this, instead the herbs used are all beneficial to the hair and skin. With the use of African herbs, rarely used in most hair care product lines, each product works in synergy to maintain a proper moisture balance in the hair. The consumer will notice a difference in the amount of moisture their hair retains, just after one use! With continued use the hair will be preserved and will be able to gain the lengths desired along with protective styling and regular use of the product line.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrosia Hair</strong> strives to keep their ingredient listing simple and effective to provide optimum results. There is no need to have 50-100 different ingredients that are hard to pronounce in each product. With maintaining natural and chemically treated hair, simplicity is best.</p>
<p>Below is a brief overview of the top products in the Ambrosia product line:</p>
<p><strong>Honeybush Replenishing Hair Milk</strong> &#8211; This thick and creamy sweet smelling hair milk is an everyday daily moisturizer containing African honeybush and rooibos herb. A natural and potent antioxidant that promotes healthy growth and gets rid of free radicals in the hair and skin. Some consumers have even reported faster growth, and thicker hair from using the moisturizer. This product is best used in dry hair and a little goes a long way. No matter how dry your curls and kinks may be, this hair milk delivers!</p>
<p><strong>Satin Curls Detangling Leave-In</strong> &#8211; a lightly moisturizing pH balanced leave-in conditioner. With the help of marshmallow root and guar gum, this leave-in delivers easy detangling and wet combing for curly and kinky hair. This conditioner will also restore the proper pH level in your curls and kinks, bringing it back to a 4.5 if you are shampooing with a non-Ambrosia Hair product that isn&#8217;t pH balanced to the acidity of your curls.</p>
<p><strong>Caramel Souffle Styling Creme</strong> &#8211; A moisture rich, cream styler containing aloe vera and rich butters including brazil nut butter, avocado butter, and shea butter. This styler will provide a soft hold and delivers soft shiny hair. It is best used for styling twists, braids, bantu knots, twist-outs, braid outs and other natural and protective styles.</p>
<p><strong>Cupuacu Sweet Hair Pudding</strong> &#8211; This creamy styler is for those that are sick of shea butter based products or who&#8217;s curls and kinks do not respond well to shea butter. This product offers a medium hold and contains the exotic Cupuacu butter from the Amazonian Rain forest of Brazil. It also contains meadowfoam seed oil to provide a superb shine to the hair. This product is used for wash-n-go styles as well as twists, twist-outs, braid-outs, etc.</p>
<p>The Ambrosia Hair care line, also includes a shampoo, mist moisturizer, a herbal oil, and a deep conditioner. All these products contain excellent ingredients choosen with the customer in mind. Every product in the line is also pH balanced to keep from disturbing the cuticle layers in the hair.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always like to have a few products in my rotation when styling my hair. Although, I don&#8217;t do wash-n-go&#8217;s anymore since my hair is now arm pit length, I decided to revisit and old friend: Kinky-Curly Curling Custard. I used the entire line including the Come Clean Shampoo, Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner, Curling Custard, and Gloss Pomade to achieve a beautiful twist out. My style lasted about 5 days as long as I retwisted my hair at night.</p>
<p>Below is a video of how I used these products to achieve a twist out:</p>
