Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme

Product Review: Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme

Overall summary: I like this product for braiding and twists, I find her hair feels really beautiful when I take it out of the cornrows or braids and it does hold the moisture all day.  But I do find this product is for styles, not natural hair.  It doesn't seem as great to help with frizz when her hair is down and loose- it seems the hair has to dry in the style with the product in order to achieve the full benefit.
I also find this product works best when you use a lot of it, and moisturize the hair first.  Particularly for the parts off hair that have tighter curls.  When I do braids with this product I scoop about an eraser size portion of the cream for each braid.  When using this product my hands do get a bit greasy, so I wipe them off and have to clean them with a dry cloth between every 2-3 braids.

Price: $$ ($15.00). A medium priced option.

Consistency: The consistency of this product is quite thick, like a thick shea butter cream.  

Scent: Like vanilla cupcakes.. yummy!

Recommended for: 3+ curly hair in lock, braids, twists or other styles.   


I've also been asked where I usually buy my hair products.
I have a few places, but my go to right now is Nandi Kids: http://nandikids.ca/
I find the owner is really responsive and able to make quick changes to the order etc. She also ships things really quickly which I like.
