How I keep my hair shiny + voluminous: Formulate

Monday, April 1, 2019



Let me go ahead and clear the air...I HATE wash days. Whether it's clothes, hair, etc. But my hair, oh the hair. Girls with thick hair, you get my drift. It takes me hours to do my hair. I spend several minutes going down the hair care line looking for new products to try. ANYTHING that will make hair wash days less of an EH.

In case you didn't know, I'm BLACK. Okay, now the we got that out the way...lol I just want to say that  hair care for afro centric / coarse hair (shampoo +conditioner) is VERY limited in stores. And if it is offered at a store, it is twice the price of regular shampoo and conditioner. Don't argue with me. I was a little skeptical when Formulate reached out to me. My thoughts: Do they know that I'm not white? My hair isn't fine. It's coarse, dry scalp, and sometimes itchy, etc. But this company seemed to cater to all hair types.

How to get started.
I took a short quiz that asked questions about my hair goals, the texture of my hair, the scents I'd like for my shampoo. Yes, this line allows you to customize your kit. And let's not forget the gorgeous packaging. The shampoo and conditioner are packaged in this fancy bottle with a dispenser at the top. Oh yeah, I feel so luxurious using it!

After completing the quiz, they curated shampoo+conditioner using specific nutrients that would help me accomplish my hair goals. Within a week and half, I received my kit in the mail. The packaging was very nice. The package included a personalized note and ingredients in my hair care kit.(I hate I deleted my Unboxing video of my kit)

Wash day.
I washed my hair with the green apple scent. After washing it, I went ahead to detangle and blow dry it. Yall, I did not have to use a detangler! I'm SHOOKETH. What kind of sorcery is this stuff? I ALWAYS need a detangler! Not this time. After I blow dried it and straightened it, my hair looked like it got a whole new uplift and was touched by the Gods*inserts praise hands emoji
