Oyin Handmade: Round Up and Final Words

Last week my CENTER OF ATTENTION series focused on Oyin Handmade.  I bought, used and reviewed 6 products.  They are:

Head-to-Toe Honey Wash 

Honey Hemp Conditioner 

Burnt Sugar Pomade 

Whipped Pudding 

Shine and Define 

Greg Juice  

I have to say that I really liked what the products did and how they made my hair look.  The only thing I did not like was the smell of the product (especially the Burnt Sugar Pomade and the Whipped Pudding).  I used them again last week and the smell had died down somewhat.  So, maybe the smell dissipates if you leave the top off of the jar or just do not use it for a few weeks.  I really liked how my hair looked, so I took the plunge and purchased full-sizes of the Head-to-Toe Honey Wash, Burnt Sugar Pomade, Shine and Define and Whipped Pudding.  I will be getting a full-sized Greg Juice and Honey/Hemp Conditioner at a later date. 

I cannot deny the combination of the Burnt Sugar Pomade and the Shine and Define.   I have to use both to get the look that I want.  The Whipped Pudding is great for reviving my twist out after a few days.  I got 2nd, 3rd and 4th day hair using this combination.  My 3c/4a/4b hair loved these products for twist outs, but not for the wash n' go look.  I think the Shine and Define was too light for my hair and the Burnt Sugar Pomade was not "wet" enough, but together they were great.  The Whipped Pudding was just the thing to catch flyaways and smooth my twists for lasting definition and moisture. 

The Greg Juice is a great herbal leave-in.  It is hands down my favorite natural leave-in.  Gives me soft curls in a no fuss way.  All I have to do after getting out of the shower is spritz my hair with Greg Juice and let the steam from the shower do the rest.  Great hair all day.                

I would suggest that you purchase the samples sizes of these products and see if you like them.  I am glad that I did.  These products are great for natural hair. 

If you have used Oyin Handmade products and love them (or not) let us know.  Share some of your tips and product combinations.  I would love to hear from you.

These products were purchased with my own money for my own personal usage.  I am not affiliated with this company.

I recieved Greg Juice in the 4-piece hair care sample pack.  This is the main reason why I purchased the sample pack.  I had been reading good reviews on this product and wanted to try it out.  I decided to try the sample before purchasing a full-sized bottle.  My review after the break....

My CENTER OF ATTENTION series is focusing on Oyin Handmade.  I recently purchased 6 products to try.  I will be talking about the Burnt Sugar Pomade today.  I was looking for a product that will give me the curl pattern and length that I am looking for without having to wet my hair everyday.  I tried this pomade for a week straight.  I have some mixed emotions about this product.  My review after the break...

Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave-in Conditioner

I was so eager to try this product after reading all of the good reviews and looking at all of the "before/after" hair pictures.  It just seemed too expensive to order online, but when my local beauty supply store started carrying it; I HAD to try it.  This review is my experience with this product.

This started out as a second Beautiful in Pearls look, but I decided to jazz it up a little.  It turned into what you see here.  More pics and what I did after the break.
