I picked up some stuff from Target and the Vitamin Shoppe yesterday. At Target, I FINALLY found the Giovanni Direct Leave in! I have been trying to get this forever and didn’t really want to order it…which I would have had to. But I found it! In the picture, are the ingredients for the Direct leave in. I know there are several formulas out there...
I’m also trying out the Shea Moisture Olive and Green Tea body products. I brought them mainly for Micah because he has extremely dry and sensitive skin. So I hope this helps him out. ( I wouldn't be surprised if I eventually try them out on my hair because the ingredients are awesome LOL.) The Body Wash has cocoamidopropyl betaine which is supposed to be good for removing buildup. I don’t shampoo my hair but if I ever get tempted I may give this a shot as a clarifier. The lotion looks like an awesome moisturizer. It does have a vegetable wax in it…but so does Oyin! We used them as body products this morning and so far we’re loving them! From the Vitamin Shoppe, picked up some more coconut oil (which I use as a makeup remover and body lotion. It’s been a year since I’ve been doing this ) And last, since we love the mango soap from Nubian Heritage, I got two bars.

Hi! I'm wondering how the Giovanni leave in worked for you. I've tried using it twice now and it always leaves my hair grey, dull but really pops my curls. Do you have a specific technique? Thanks for your help!

Thanks. I've tried twist outs with this product and maybe my problem was using it along with a butter... I will try try try again with only sealing with an oil as you've mentioned. Hopefully the third try's the charm!

Just want to give you an update. I tried Giovanni Leave In for a 3rd time and it was successful!! I used a small amount and paired it with some Shea Butter Miracle Leave In and sealed with castor oil and my curls were so soft and amazing the next morning. And NO GREY hair or FLAKES! I've been able to get Day 3 hair by retwisting each night. Thanks so much for your help!

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to get it to work for you! 3 days would be awesome for me since that's about the time I need to rewash anyways lol
