So I took the advise of our wonderful coco & lowe readers and went out and bought some Mixed Chicks hair products at Chiggy’s Touch.  When I walked in I was surprised to see my girl Kim (who I grew up with in Newmarket) working there!  She was soooooo helpful explaining exactly how to use the product and even suggesting some other products that I now swear by which I will talk about later.  

The Mixed Chicks products that I bought were the deep conditioner and the leave-in conditioner.  I was advised not to buy the shampoo because I wash my hair more than once a week and the shampoo is for peeps who have seriously curly hair and don’t wash it that often (my dream, *sigh*).  Firstly, the deep conditioner smells like absolute effin HEAVEN, like I wish it was body lotion because I want it all over me.  I also loved how it left my hair, it didn’t leave a greasy residue (which I find most deep conditioners do) and I use it on my hair even if I’m going to wear it straight.  As far as the leave in conditioner goes, it’s awesome for taking out frizz, but if your hoping it will create more of a curl to your lack luster waves (like mine) think again.  What it did for me was it separated my waves to give it a little more of a ‘beachy’ look. I think this product would be killer for women and men who have really curly hair, but mine is so in between so it needs a little more than just product application….  It also takes my hair about 81 days to dry so the fact that you have to air dry or towel dry with a micro-fiber towel is kinda inconvenient.

Just to give you guys a better idea (and to totally embarrass myself) here’s a pic of what my hair looks like with no product and no heat (by heat I mean using a curling iron to define curls or flat iron to straighten) and my face with no make up… ughhh LOL

sorry if I frightened you… LOL

So as you can see my hair in its natural state is not much unlike a hay stack or as my brother lovingly refers to it when its a bit damp ‘seaweed’. LOL!

I didn't dye my hair, just different lighting...

This is what it looked like after ‘Mixed Chicks’.  So YAY!  It really gets rid of frizz and adds some shine, but I get this effect from most moose products….  I think after watching the testimonials I was expecting CRAZZZY results so anything short of a Foxy Brown afro would appear dismal…  

So in conclusion, if you have really curly hair Mixed Chicks is for you!  And no, you don’t have to be half black and half white to use it.  Almost everyone I know has a little bit of some other race somewhere in their family tree, so again, if you have curly hair (whatever your race) give it a whirl! Oh and you gotta try the Deep Conditioner!! Sooo good!

Thanks for the tips on where to buy Mixed Chicks ladies!

Have any of you tried it?
