Okay remember this product review? I loveeed the way Elasta QP worked on my relaxed hair. It was my styler, it was my moisturiser and it made my hair buttery soft. Fast forward to here, when I was transitioning it did not work so well on my hair and I gave it up. Well now it's back again! I have been wanting to revisit this product for a very long time. I have seen some natural haired women on Instagram use this product for braidouts and it has worked quite well. The ingredients list is well terrible lol. But to be honest if it does work then why not! I will definitely keep you update with how well it works as a styler and a moisturiser after a few weeks use. This was only £2.49- bargain.

Caruso Roller Set
Okay so I got my Caruso Roller set (bargain £18 from Ebay) and it creates curls using steam, so it is not direct heat, does not damage the hair and can be basically used everyday. So here are my tools:
(L-R): Carrot oil (which I seal with), Elasta QP design silk spray (heat protector/holding spray), wide tooth comb, Caruso steamer (the rollers are placed on top) and Elasta QP mango butter moisturiser.
The Caruso steamer came with rollers of 4 different sizes. I used the jumbo rollers:
Sorry, about the pictures I can't rotate them :/
I then tried the smaller rollers:
(yes Judge Judy in the background, I love her lol)
Results:

These curls actually lasted 24 hours, so I am pleased with the results. I left the rollers in for about 20 minutes and then took them out. Definitely a great/quick way to curl your hair especially as it doesn't use heat or doesn't involve you sitting under the dryer for hours. I'm pleased with my Caruso.

Wishlist...
Thanks so far to everyone who has followed me- I just realised I have 13 followers so hey!
I did make a resolution not to buy more things/hair products, but I needed a heat protector spray that also gave great hold for my rollersets/braidouts/flexi rod sets so I bought Elasta QP Design Silk Spray £1.59 (about $2.50).
I love the Elasta QP and Organic Root Stimulator line and mostly stick to these ranges for products. My exceptions are my carrot oil, Herbal Essences beautiful ends leave-in and my VO5 clarifying shampoo/conditioner. I am tempted to try Elasta QP's DPR-11 deep conditioner instead oy my ORS Hair Mayonnaise but we'll see when I run out.
I also want to buy this:
http://www.superdrug.com/conditioner/aussie-3-minute-miracle-deep-conditioner-250ml/invt/286120/
Aussie 3 minute miracle and use this as a moisturising deep conditioner. I'm slightly worried that I'm DCing with Hair Mayonnaise 2x week which is a protein DC so I may alternate with the Aussie (though I've heard the smell is dreadful!).
Oh and another item:
Babyliss Hard Hooded Hair Dryer think it's about £20.
Two things I've decided after my relaxer:
1. My next relaxer is April 8th 2011 , so this means a 10 week stretch (my longest was 9 weeks)
2. I want to start rollersetting after co-washing so I need to buy some magnetic rollers. I think I will rollerset on wet hair 1x week and do a braidout 1x week on wet hair.
But as my hair is relaxed now expect more hair tutorials on things like flexi rods, roller setting, braidouts etc.
