Hey, Hey Party People!
Here we are again, I’ve found a new favorite product and I had to share it! I’ve seen Not Your Mother’s on shelves for awhile now but I never knew about their product line for curls. For the longest time I thought all they had was dry shampoo and texturizing spray. I wasn’t interested in either so I would just pass them by. When I started following curly girls, I started seeing the same pink bottle pop up! It was their Tahitian Gardenia Flower & Mango Butter natural line! I was quick to ask if they would allow me to try some of their products and they were so kind to share with me the whole line! {THANKS GUYS!} Keep reading for a review of my experience with the Not Your Mother’s Tahitian Gardenia Flower & Mango Butter Line!
This blog post was made in collaboration with Not Your Mother’s. All products were gifted by Not Your Mother’s and all opinions on products are my own.

WASH DAY + REFRESH
This is what you’re really here for: the experience!
First I washed and conditioned my hair using the Shampoo and Conditioner. I’ve been big on using a co-wash so this was the first time {in a long time} that I used a shampoo that lathers and it took a lot longer to wash out {I think I’ll stick to a co-wash}. The conditioner was amazing and had great slip. Easy to finger comb through my hair.
On to styling with the Detangler and my new favorite Creme! Of all the brands I have tried recently, this Creme was the absolute best. It went on easy and dried still so defined. This cream did the job and doesn’t need any help from a gel!
Here are my results.
Day One – Used all four products. This Day I actually did something fun with it for my nieces birthday party. I did a middle part {which I never do} and made some Minnie Mouse ears!
Day Two – Refreshed with water, Detangler, and Combing Cream. I also moved my part back to the side. It worked pretty well.
Day Three – Refreshed with Combing Cream. Still so defined. I’m a fan!
The next wash day I styled with the Detangler and the Combing Cream using the finger coiling technique as I applied the product. Here is day one and refreshed day two and three. So much definition in these curls!
SCENT
Tropical Bliss – a pleasant tropical smell. Not overwhelming in my option.
PRICE
THIS STUFF IS SO AFFORDABLE! Not only is it easily accessible, you can get most of their items for $9 each. The best part, retailers almost always have a deal for Not Your Mothers. I’ve seen BOGO at Ulta, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, and CVS. It’s really a good one to try if you’re low on the hair budget. Always look for deals!
WHERE TO BUY
You can get these just about anywhere but here’s a link if you’re wanting to order online!
Happy Hair Days!
Mucho Love!
