Cracked Out On Kemi-Oyl!

Our natural hair is so naturally dry that it is absolutely CRUCIAL to keep it oiled and moisturized. Kemi-Oyl is one of my personal favorites in combating dryness. I don't know what kind of crack they put in that bottle but I am HOOKED! I cannot live without my Kemi-Crack! LOL! The only drawbacks? It's relatively pricey for a small, stingy bottle of oil and Kemi Laboratories, the company that produces the oil, doesn't list the ingredients in fear that others will steal their "formula". For all we know it could have collard green juice and fried catfish grease in it... Either way, it works like a charm! You can cop it at Walgreens for $3.29 per bottle.

You Down With OCM?



The Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) is apparently the new craze in the world of skin care. This method involves using castor oil (25%) and olive oil (75%) to cleanse and moisturize, leaving the skin with an enviable glow.

I had high hopes for this here OCM. I doused my face with the so-called miracle concoction and low and behold, within a week, all HELL broke loose on my face! WTF man! The oil dried out my skin and created acne in places it never existed before. I tried experimenting with the oil percentages, but it was all to no avail. Argggh! What a bummer! I did notice a nice glow to my skin, but the extra bump action I can definitely do without. Needless to say, I am no longer down with OCM! Despite my experience, it seems there are many who've had better luck with this. Peep the Youtube vid demonstrating the OCM.
