3. Nini Body Treats
– If you are addicted to deliciously scented and crafted body soaps, then Nini’s Body Treats is for YOU! I discovered this gem on twitter and visited their blog. Inspired by the owner’s love of ” detergent-free luxury skin loving handcrafted soap”, she started learning and making the soaps in 2011. If you’re also interested in learning how to make these soaps, Nini Body Treats offers OPEN workshops from time to time. For more information, checkout the blog: http://ninibodytreats.wordpress.com
4. Vanity Oils
– If you follow us on Twitter (@myHairmyBeauty), then you’ll know that we are BIG fans of Oils! Created and run by best friends Ekua Sagoe and Tomi Giwa, Vanity Oils is a Nigerian based company focused on the supply of 100% pure natural oils for hair and skin. Name it, they have it, from basic oils like Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, to harder to find oils like Wheat Germ and Sweet almond. Their website even includes recipes on blends for your hair and skin, for more information, checkout: http://vanityoils.blogspot.com
5. Ours by Juliada
– Their tag line should be “Look GOOD and Smell GOOD”, because if you’ve ever purchased a product from OursByJuliada you’d know that the products smell divine. The beauty brand also started by Best friends has a variety of products for Hair and Body, our favorite is their Gingerbread Cookie body scrub and their black soap.
6. Hairven Hair Products
– All my Weave lovers, this is the brand for you. Created by Iroghama Ogbeifun, Hairven hair products are designed to make your hair extensions feel softer and last longer. After using the products on an old human hair lace wig, we can attest to their conditioner helping detangle knots.
