Taliah Waajid African Healing Oyl.

Finally, the last sample from my January haul.

I’m not sure why it’s taken me this long to finally use this sample, but better late than never – and part of me feels that I subconsciously saved the best for last. This healing “oyl” from Taliah Waajid works as both a hair AND a body oil, and contains a combination of soybean oil, sunflower oil, almond oil, vitamin E, palm oil, olive oil, and just so happens to be paraben free! The oil can be applied in a variety of ways, but I decided to try it as a hot oil treatment – you guys know how much I love my hot oil treatments.

The first thing I noticed about this oil was the smell (and it was something I continued to notice throughout my hair treatment). The smell is sweet and warm, and reminds me of lazy summer days; and I’m sure that if this were a fragrance it’d be a popular scent.

The next thing I noticed was its orange colour, a colour I’m not used to seeing products in.

After heating up the oil in a small pan and transferring it into a glass for easier application, I then divided my hair and tried to evenly distribute the oil in my hair. To my surprise I managed to get my full head oiled with the small amount given in the sample (it measured out to about two tablespoons). I then covered my head with a plastic shower cap for an hour to prep my hair for washing.

Within a few minutes of having this oil on my head, I could feel my hair moisturising (does that make sense), and I could feel the lingering effects from my scalp massage with the oil.

Though I’ve just done a hair haul, this oil is one I’ll definitely look for when I next go hair product shopping. I loved the smell of this oil, the colour and how nice and relaxed it made my scalp feel. The only downside about the sample was that there wasn’t a lot in the sachet, but I guess there’s not a lot I could do about that.

Make sure you check back next week when I’ll be sharing my latest hair haul (and a whole new bunch of samples!)
