Every now and then I like to switch my hair products and try out new brands. It can be hit or miss when trying to find products what work well for my hair….I’ve had lots of products that simply go straight in the bin.
For a while now I’ve heard people raving about the brand Soultanicals and being an avid product junkie I just had to try it out myself!
Soultanicals is an earthy, self-love collection of hand-crafted, soul-infused, melanin-inspired, body/hair love products made with a unique blend of organic, plant-based, herbal, and African botanical ingredients.
“Only the good stuff to make your hair and body swoon in self-loving bliss!” That’s the philosophy behind Soultanicals, a toxin-free, Vegan Hair/Body Care company created by Ayo Ogun-McCants, a Mom of 6.
I love the brand concept and philosophy ~ the products are made for the funky, earthy, natural-lovin’ individuals who are conscious about what they put on their hair & body. The products speak to the beauty conscious, self lovin’, culture lovn’, revolutionary & playful spirits who like to stand out with timeless, soul-centric originality.
The products are made the old-fashioned way…by hand and with soul. All the products have fun and funky names.
I picked up some products online from Simplymoi. This was my first time shopping with them and their website is great with lots of lovely brands. They also offer a loyalty scheme so you earn points when you spend.
Here’s what I got:

Another yummy smelling product ~ it smells like berries. It has a medium consistency and is easy to apply. It has an incredible amount of slip, it melted into my hair as soon as I applied it and I was able to detangle with my fingers.
I applied a shower cap and left it in for about 20 minutes. After rinsing I was truly amazed at how soft and silky my hair was. I so need this in my life and I will purchase the larger 16oz next time.

I got this for my little mama as I wanted a light moisturiser for her hair. It smells so good as well. The consistency is light and creamy. It is very moisturising but doesn’t weigh her hair down at all. It leaves her with fluffy gorgeous defined curls.

Ok so I’ve saved the best for last ~ this product is awesome and that’s no joke. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I opened it. The scent is yummy, like vanilla frosting with a hint of coconut. The consistency is light and creamy with amazing slip. It glides onto my hair and soaks into my strands leaving it so soft, shiny and moisturised. My hair stays moisturised for days!
It doesn’t get any better than this, I’m so impressed and love love this. Another added bonus with all these products is I don’t get any product build up which is unusual.
