I'm heavy handed. Next, I will try mixing Ojon's with Carol's Daughter unscented beeswax jelly...maybe add a little Rasberry Oil. I can't wait...when is the charity? thanks I mixed mine with shea butter to try to make them both last longer. I’m heavy handed.

Was it for the same reasons a lot of us non-island folk didn't learn? I took swimming lessons as a young child and now that I think about it I should ask my mother why she didn't have a problem with us learning. (The older I get, the more I realize how radical my parents were about some things.) I ended up taking lessons again at age 27 or so and like someone else mentioned, I can keep myself afloat but won't win any awards for technique. Re the products: I was just in Sephora and hesitated over buying Ojon, but now I wish I had. As for the others, well...I can definitely spring for some Haagen-Dazs right now (it's about 90 in IA today). I’m curious, Bella: How did you grow up on an island without learning how to swim?

"the ingredient list, off of drugstore.com : aqua (Water), Cetearyl Alcohol, Elaeis Oleifera (Palm Oil), Dimethicone Copolyol, Caprylic/CapricTriglyceride, PVP/VA Copolymer, Tribehenin, Polysorbate-60, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Parfum (Fragrance), Imidazolidinyl Urea, Mica, Methylparaben, Titanium Dioxide, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, PEG 150 Stearate, Steareth 20, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract" It's most likely a mixture of the cones and polymer eith the palm oil that's giving great results. Anywho....... Ojon are giving back BUT I think that they should give the customer a little money$ off 'cause it is pricey! I agree with Eva - I found the same information on the Soap Dish.

If you have any dryness or breakage, spread a little of this on and you will be able to run your fingers through your hair as a result of detangled, moisturized hair. Don't, however, buy this product at Sephora--it's too expensive. At QVC the 3.8oz is only $30. In Canada, Ojon just had a special on the Shopping Channel for Canada Day, which sold the 5oz for ~$35. The kits at the home shopping networks are cheaper, too. I suggest skipping the usual retail outfits and stock up via home shopping channels, they will always be cheaper than the aforementioned $100 for a kit. www.notinmycolour.blogspot.com I agree: Ojon is the wonder product.

But I just wanted to know how much research you had done into these Ojon products? I'm a total product junkie and scour labels on hair and beauty websites and when I googled Ojon I found this site: http://www.soapdishforum.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t53858.html about Ojon's secret ingredient, and it lists the ingredients from one of its bottles. So more power those that Ojon worked for but their story appears to be just to be a clever marketing ploy! I just wanted people to know before they spent their hard earned money coz that stuff aint cheap! Other than that I love love love your blog - keep doing what you're doing x Hi Afrobella - this is my first post!!

I love the idea of something beautiful helping others. Yellow Brick Road & Making A Splash are wonderful ideas. I am SO pleased to read about them. I love spreading the word about good things being done in the Black Community. This is wonderful information as always Bella. I love the idea of something beautiful helping others.
