AFRI TRUE || REVIEW

AS a black woman, I’d like to think I’ve done all there is to do to my hair, name a hairstyle, within reason of course, and I’ve probably rocked it! Yes I’ve been bold, braided, weaved, had an afro, had a cut, I mean at some point, if it was in it was on my head! LOL. And then somewhere along the line I got tired of keeping up, luckily for me it was at a time when natural hair was the new cool.

I really struggled with my afro, though I loved it so, maintaining it was a pain and the lack of products specifically made for black natural hair were few and far between, you almost had to know someone who knew someone who knew something or some store God knows where where they sold this or that that was said to be great for black hair. It was a pain.

So I chose to lock my hair.

When I got the new Clicks Afri True brand in the mail to review I was over the moon. There is nothing easier to fall in love with than something that has been made specifically with you in mind.

Soon after I readied myself for my next salon visit and here’s how it went:

SHAMPOO

Afri True Conditioning Argan Shampoo, 50ml sachet is enriched with Jojoba and Argan Oils and a Hair Moisture Complex to gently cleanse, remove build up and moisturise hair and scalp to leave hair soft and tangle free.

The Argan oils which form part of all the products in this range steal the show in as far as scent is concerned. At the same time though it is a gentle scent that also leaves you feeling like something luxurious is happening on your head.

Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the Argan tree, endemic to Morocco. It is valued for its nutritive and cosmetic properties. Argan oil is proven to make hair softer, silkier and shinier. It is the ideal hair conditioner, and it can even help to treat split ends and tame frizzy hair.

The Shampoo costs: R14.95

All in all I’d recommend these products to anyone with African hair, mainly because that’s their hook. I grew weary of beauty store aisles flooded with Caucasian hair products of enormous variety, that’s part of the pain that was added to my afro days. So to know that there is a product out there that has the natural state of my hair in mind as well as the versatility that is a luxury to African women, one can’t help but fall in love with this brand.

Hi!!! My name is Vuvu Vena. I used to live in the coastal town of East London in South Africa, now I live in Johannesburg and I’m a blogger. I believe life is about archiving your experiences, sharing them with the world and developing oneself, always challenging the better you within. I do this on my YouTube channel as well as this blog. I honestly think we make the most out of life when we share it and this site is really about that. I am a word fanatic, I love words and the power they have to create and change situations, as well as how they can never be erased. I am passionate about sharing life as I believe this is how we learn and grow, from other people’s experiences not just our own. I am also a woman through and through and I plan to show case my femininity on this platform with pride and hopefully some grace LOL. Vuvu Vena will therefore be a medley of the things that make me. Hopefully you will find something you like. Please like, subscribe and all that beautiful stuff :D.

  1. I like the helpful info you supply on your articles.
    I will bookmark your weblog and take a look at again right here regularly.
    I am quite sure I will learn many new stuff right right
    here! Best of luck for the following!

    1. Thank you so much for the complements. I only started my blog six months ago. Your comments mean a lot to me.:)

  2. Hola! I’ve been following your site for a long
    time now lastly got the courage to proceed to supply you with a shout out from Atascocita Texas!
    Just wished to let you know maintain the fantastic work!

  3. Hi I am so excited I found your blog page, I really found you by
    accident, while I was browsing on Bing for something else,
    Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say thanks
    for a incredible post and a all round interesting blog
    (I also love the theme/design), I dont have time to go through it all at the moment but I have saved it and also included your RSS feeds, so
    when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up
    the awesome work.

  4. With havin so much written content have you ever come across any issues of plagorism or
    copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve either written myself or outsourced but it seems like a
    lot of it is popping it throughout the web without my authorization. Have you figured
    out any ways to help you stop content from being stolen? I’d
    really appreciate it.

    1. Hi
      I haven’t come across any problems, I always make sure I use original content, and where I don’t I attribute to the source. As for checking on any of my work popping up elsewhere…to be honest, I haven’t done that at all. So perhaps I should consider putting some copyright mechanisms in place. Thank you for that 🙂

  5. Excellent blog! Have you got any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own, personal site soon but
    I’m just a little lost on everything. Do you propose beginning with a no cost platform like WordPress or choose a
    paid option? There are numerous choices on the market that I’m completely overwhelmed ..
    Any ideas? Bless you!

    1. Hi
      Thank you so much for visiting!I’m glad you are enjoying the blog. I’d say, definitely, while you are still starting out, start with a blog hosting site that’s free, like WordPress – it’s easier to navigate. That way you get to play around with themes, get a sense of what you like and what direction you want your blog to go, and only when you know for sure that you can sustain the posts and the content I’d advise you take the leap and get your own site.
      I hope that helped.

      xoxo

      1. Hi there

        Unfortunately I can not say for sure if this product is suitable for non-African curly hair. At first glance I’d say not, but you never know. Give it a try. All the best.
