Congratulations Sharis J of Texas City, TX!! 

Sharis J is our very first Member of the Month from Texas!! As the selected Member of the Month, Sharis received the Alter Ego Revitalizing Lotion Drops from her Wish List and shared a little about her hair and her weekly regimen.

RBH: How would you describe your hair?

 Sharis: My hair is between normal and dry sometimes. I do relax my hair.

 RBH: What’s your current weekly hair regimen?

Sharis: I Pre-poo my hair with coconut oil, cinnamon oil, honey and wheat germ.I shampoo every week with a moisture shampoo and deep condition with silicon mix or Crece Pelo (20 mins) with heat every other week.

RBH: What products you can’t live without?

Sharis: Wheat germ conditioner, Crece Pelo conditioner, silicon mix leave in, Lacio Lacio leave in, and Alter Ego’s Garlic Treatment.

RBH: What are your top 3 tips (or more) if someone asked you what your hair secrets were?

Sharis: 1. Deep Condition, 2. Avoid flat irons, 3. Air Dry or roller set, 4. Wrap or pin hair up at night.

RBH: Do you go to a Dominican hair salon?

Sharis: Yes! I go to Melilzy Beauty Salon in Houston Texas twice a month.

RBH: How you were first introduced to Dominican hair products?

Sharis: I met a lady in a store and notice how beautiful her hair was. I stopped her and asked who does your hair and she said she uses products from her country Dominican Republic. She then referred me to the salon I go to now! That was 6 years ago.

RBH: What’s the biggest difference you’ve noticed in your hair since using Dominican hair products?

Sharis: Wow this list could go on but I will narrow it down! My hair has really come back to life, it’s healthy, my hair grows really fast(I just cut 4″ a month ago) I really don’t battle with dryness anymore and my hair is very manageable.

Sharis, your hair looks fab! Love the color and your ends look thick and healthy! Congratulations again on being our featured member of the month!

Every month, we select 1 lucky member to win products from their store wish list and highlight their hair regimen. You could be July’s member!

Congratulations to our member of the month Schinek D of Abingdon, MD!!

As our randomly selected member Schinek received the Lady Fior Olive Oil Kita Ondas (Curl Remover) Conditioner 16oz from her Wish List and shared a little bit about her hair and weekly regimen!

RBH:  How would you describe your hair?  

Schinek: I would describe my hair as healthy, my texture is pretty soft but my hair doesn’t hold curls well.

RBH: What’s your current hair care regimen?

Schinek: currently I wash my hair weekly using the products in the basic starter package.  I wrap my hair every night with a silk scarf to seal in moisture and to protect my edges. I have my ends dusted every 8-10  weeks to keep the shape of my wrap.

RBH: What products you can’t live without?

Schinek: I can’t live with my Silicon Mix Conditioner and Lacio Lacio Leave-In Conditioner. The silicon mix condition makes my hair so soft and easy to comb through!

RBH: What are your top 3 tips (or more) if someone asked you what your hair
secrets were?

Schinek: When I’m asked about my hair the first tip I offer is to stay away from the flat iron, condition your hair and go to www.roundbrushhair.com

RBH: Do you go to a Dominican hair salon?

Schinek: No. But I have in the past.

RBH: How you were first introduced to Dominican hair products?

Schinek: I visited a Dominican salon once and heard that their products worked excellent on African American hair, I was tired of trying the products offered at  the store and wanted to try something different.  I did a search on Dominican hair products and found www.roundbrushhair.com.  I liked how informative the site was and was happy there was a starter pack I could try.

RBH: What’s the biggest difference you’ve noticed in your hair since using
Dominican hair products?

Schinek: My hair has thickened and isn’t dry. I have also been able to stretch my relaxer out well beyond 8 weeks.  My edges love the Laco Lacio conditioner, it helps to keep my edges straight! My hair is shiny and smells great!

Congratulations to Nicole W our April Member of the Month!! As Member of the Month Nicole won the Alter Ego Hasty Bright & Shine Lux Glossing Spray 4.05oz and shares with us her hair regimen and tips.

RBH: How would you describe your hair?

Nicole: I would describe my hair as multi-faceted and versatile. It has three natural
curl patterns ranging from 3c to 4b. Currently, I am transitioning from relaxed to
texlaxed. My current length is bra-strap-length.

RBH: What’s your current hair care regimen?

Nicole: My current hair regimen is as follows: I wash and deep condition once a week,
detangle with a wide tooth rake comb, apply leave ins and moisturizer. I usually place
my hair in a bun on a daily basis and moisturize daily. I avoid direct heat from flat irons
and only use them for special occasions (only once or twice a year).

RBH: What are some products you can’t live without?

Nicole: I really cannot live without Crece Pelo deep conditioner, Silicon Mix Bambu
deep conditioner, Elasta QP olive oil & mango butter moisturizer, Nubian Heritage
products, and Shea Moisture- Moisture Retention Shampoo.

RBH: What are your top 3 tips (or more) if someone asked you what your hair
secrets were?
Nicole:

• Listen to your hair- do what is best for YOUR hair; if your hair is dry give it moisture, if it is weak, give it protein.

• Use sulfate free shampoos- African American hair is naturally dry so, sulfates will increase this dryness.

• Avoid unnecessary direct heat- especially if you are relaxed as it will significantly dry and weaken the bonds in your hair strand.

• Wear protective styles such as updos to limit the stress on your ends.

• Use hair care sites such asYouTube as references- they have some great information. Some YouTube hair gurus to check out are TheHappyHairShow, shorty2sweet59, and KISSseventyseven.

RBH: Do you go to a Dominican hair salon?

Nicole: No, I have never been to a Dominican hair salon. I live in California so, there are very few, if any, Dominican salons available.

RBH: How you were first introduced to Dominican hair products?

Nicole: I was first introduced to Dominican hair products by watching a YouTube video

RBH: What’s the biggest difference you’ve noticed in your hair since using
Dominican hair products?

Nicole: I have noticed that my hair retains moisture and length a lot better. Also,
equally important, I have noticed that my hair is so much more manageable; I deal
with several different textures and curl patterns so manageability is key! I HIGHLY
recommend Dominican hair products they will transform your hair- something I have
NEVER experienced with mainstream American products.

Congratulations again to Nicole! I absolutely love texlaxed hair (partially relaxed/partially texturized). I actually wore my hair texlaxed for a while but found it difficult to keep the texture consistent with chemical applications.

Congratulations Antoinette of Paso Robles, CA!

As our selected member of the month, Antoinette won the Kismera Hair Growth Shampoo 16.9oz from her Wish List and shared her regimen with us in an interview below.

Antoinette also shared a recently uploaded YouTube video of her experience with the Kismera Hair Growth Lotion 4oz that ultimately influenced her decision to buy the shampoo later (only we awarded her with it first)

RBH: How would you describe your hair?

Antoinette: My hair is very coarse and it was unmanageable.

RBH: What’s your current hair care regimen?

Antoinette: I use a pre-poo on my hair before shampooing, I use a moisture rich shampoo and then seal my ends with oils. I let that sit on my hair and then I condition it, let it air-dry and use a leave conditioner.

RBH: What are your top 3 tips (or more) if someone asked you what your hair secrets
were?

Antoinette: Moisturize your hair, limit the amount of heat and wrap your hair at night
before you go to bed.

RBH: Do you go to a Dominican hair salon?

Antoinette: No, I currently do not because I do not have access to one.

RBH: How you were first introduced to Dominican hair products?

Antoinette: Research on the internet. Which has lead me to do my own reviews of
products that have worked for me from RoundBrushHair on YouTube MsThang2snaps.

RBH: Are there any products you can’t live without?

Antoinette: The Silicon Mix Leave-In. It has the same effect as a flat iron for me.

RBH: What’s the biggest difference you’ve noticed in your hair since using Dominican
hair products?

Antoinette: My hair is manageable, I can run my fingers through my hair, it always
smells wonderful, it is shiny and healthier.

Congratulations again to Antoinette! I hope you enjoy using the shampoo along with the lotion drops and find success in using both.

Check out Antoinette’s YouTube video on the lotion. She messed up on our name, but it’s all good….ya’ll know what she’s trying to say.

hair products?
