LBS Giveaway: Anu Essentials

Happy Friday guys! Product junkies, get your purses ready - there's a new natural hair care line that's a must-buy. Anu Essentials, founded by natural hairstylist and salon owner of Khamit Kinks, Anu Prestonia. We blogged about the launch event back in January when Gracie J attended and had a blast celebrating the new collection.

Now that I've had some time to actually try the products out - in love! Not only are they all-natural but they have a fresh clean scent, they're multi-purpose (like the oil being great for hair & skin) and they're gentle on hair.

The three products from the collection that I tried out recently were the Nourishing Cleansing Gel Shampoo, the Moisture Rich Conditioner and the Golden Blossom Hair Oil.

The Nourishing Cleansing Gel shampoo was great as a gentle, yet clarifying cleaning agent for my hair. I normally just co-wash with conditioner, but every few weeks I do a full shampoo to get rid of product build-up. I thought this one was great.

I also really loved the Moisture Rich conditioner as a detangling product. It has great slip! I'm a huge fan of natural oils so I really enjoyed the Golden Blossom Oil. It smells amazing and can be used to deep condition your strands, to moisturize your scalp, or just to seal in moisture after applying a leave-in.

Though I haven't tried the stylers in the collection yet, the hair care products were spot on. After washing and conditioning my hair with the products, I did a braidout and it turned out glorious. Having fresh clean hair and sealing it in moisture with an oil makes such a difference in the luster of my curls. Great product line!

Kickin' It: Anu Essentials Launch Event

Last Thursday evening, we had the pleasure of attending the Anu Essentials launch event at chic Brooklyn-base natural hair salon Khamit Kinks. Despite the frigid weather outside, the venue was filled with warm smiles and chic 'dos.

Anu Prestonia is "the" go to natural hair guru with a clientele roster beyond anyone's wildest imagination. From the one and only queen of daytime television Oprah Winfrey, to Stevie Wonder, and talented triple threat Solange Knowles, she has tended to some very famous tresses. The event was hosted by Ms. Anu herself and some very familiar faces from the natural hair community, the ladies of Curly Girl Collective. and Renae Bluitt of In Her Shoes.

Anu Essentials are an array of organic natural hair products made paraben & sulfate free ranging from shampoos, conditioners and so far our favorite is the Soft Set Gel ($22.00). Did we mention she has a natural perfume line as well?! Chemical free!

As her mother kindly put it "A little goes a long way, a dab on the neck, your inner elbows, and on your knees if you got a man". With words of wisdom from her natural hair journey and all the gratitude expressed, Anu Prestonia is indeed an inspiration to all the ethnic beauties out there.

Rock your fro loud, rock your fro proud! Keep on the look out for a product review on Anu Essentials right here on LBS.
