Oyin\'s Products: Great Stuff!!!
I would like to express how proud I am of all the black entrepreneur women out there doing their thing and providing us with healthy, natural, and quality alternatives to some of the commercial "crap" out there on the market. I will continue to support, as I believe greatly in what they do.
Ok, now to the review =)
I put in a re-order of Oyin Whipped Pudding (this would have to be one of the best "butter" mixtures out there) This stuff dissolves so easily into wet hair, it's easy to spread and distribute through the hair. Plus it's not heavy. I also purchased the Grand Poo Bar which I haven't used in the past, the Honey Hemp Conditioner which has a light natural orange scent, re-order of shine and define serum which is great as well, and I still had some Greg Juice which I seemed to neglect and just recently realized how great this stuff is.
The problem I've been having is that my hair has been feeling like wool, dry and a little crunchy. Most likely due to excessive washing. For some reason, once I sleep on my hair, there's no bouncing back :-( It just has to be washed/rinsed again, and because I’m not good at twists and other stuff, wash and wear is the style of the time for me. Anyway, I pulled out the Greg's Juice a couple of days ago and tried it out on freshly washed hair. First of all, this stuff has a refreshing, clean, herbal scent. Secondly, it immediately softened my hair and added a natural sheen. Once fully dry, that dry crunchy feeling was gone, my hair was soft and shiny without the oil, curls were naturally and subtlety defined (you know, not that product defined curl look) and my hair was extra fluffy.
Luckily I had put in my order, so my new batch of products arrived yesterday. This morning, got up used the Grand Poo Bar. The lather on this shampoo bar was incredible. The smell, natural, light, and clean. I can compare the lather to that of Skintimate Shaving Gel once it gets all lathered up. I was able to detangle with my shower comb with the rich lather from the poo bar. I rinsed, and my hair was CLEAN, but did not feel stripped at all. I applied the Honey Hemp Conditioner, which seemed to immediately soften the hair. The conditioner was light and very water-soluble. You could tell that this would rinse clean as well, not leaving build up, or leave you in the shower for 10 min just trying to rinse the conditioner off. Combed through and let sit for a few minutes as I finished showering. I rinsed it out, jumped out the shower, and spayed with my reunited friend Greg's juice. I then applied the oh so lovely Whipped Pudding this time instead of the Shine and Define Serum and diffused. Results, A fluffy head of truly soft, naturally defined curls (you know, not that artificial look you get with some gels and mousse and curl creams that make your hair look like your making it curl in a way it just wasn't meant to curl. I absolutely love the type of shine you get with the Whipped Pudding, you can tell it doesn't have a lot of wax in it, first few ingredients: spring water, shea, aloe vera gel, and cocoa butter. The shine is a clean shine, like your hair is shining from within. Maybe it's the Honey, don't know, but this stuff is great. And if I could find a man that smelled like this, it would be OVER! LOL.

She has some well-priced gift/packaged deals to try out the products if you just want to give it a test. 2oz of Greg's Juice, Shine & Define Serum, Whipped Pudding, and Honey Hemp Conditioner is $14.50. Plus customer service is great; I always get a personal message when my order is received and when I should expect to see it.
I apologize for being long winded, but hey, it's been a while since I reviewed some stuff! I updated my album with pics of products and todays results.

I bought the gift set and the Grand Poo Bar. The Grand Poo Bar left my hair squeaky clean (not good). The Honey Hemp Conditioner smelled great, but my hair absorbed it immediately. I almost emptied the 2 oz. bottle and it was as if my hair had no product on it at all! I left it on for about 15 minutes hoping for the best. I ended up having to slather on some Elucence MB to be able to get a comb through my hair. 
It smells better than shea butter, too. The Greg Juice was nice. But I like My Honeychild Natural Hair Humectants better. 
I want to get the Greg Juice and the Whipped Pudding..
