Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion-Product Review

In an ardent desire to prevent damage to my hair, I have significantly cut down on the amount of heat I use in styling. Whenever I can, I let my hair dry naturally before setting it, and for curls-I tend to opt for a 'wet set' over a heated one. Therefore, a good setting lotion is a must.

You who have been following my Youtube channel for a while, may remember myLottabody Setting Lotion Review that I did around the time of my Starlet Series.

The one problem I had with Lottabody was that it tended to leave my hair sort of 'crunchy' unless I diluted the heck out of it. Then the staying power seemed somewhat compromised. A gal from Australia (sorry, I forget her name) alerted me to Motions on the Fedora Lounge and I am forever indebted. It's a wonderful product!

'Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion' is a mousse-type setting lotion for wet sets that can be found in the Ethnic sections of most drugstores, here in the States. It has a clean, non-descript scent. When I'm doing a dry, heated set I tend to use my Layrite Grooming Spray to prep my hair before drying and curling it. When I am utilizing a wet set, I usually prep my hair with setting lotion before allowing it to air dry or blowing it dry. THEN I use plain water to re-moisten the hair before I pin curl or roll. If I'm going for a curlier 'do', then I will prep the hair w/ Motions first, and then roll straight from damp hair. Try both ways and see which suits you best!

The result for me is hair soft to the touch that holds curl nearly twice as long. 

Pros: I really like this shaving cream. The first thing that impressed me was the packaging (it's not in a METAL or TIN can hahaha)! It has a sturdy pump & replaceable cap. It's creamy, rich and has a thick consistency. It's not a foam like most brands. It's more like a thick lotion, but the results are the same. It has a very soft berry scent that can be detected before & after shaving. Your skin feels soft & smooth afterwards. They have an assortment of scents on their website, including one for sensitive skin.

Cons: The only negative I could think of was,  it's slightly pricier than your average shaving cream. However the packaging, scent and having super soft skin afterwards totally makes up for that.

You wanna get rid of that uglypeach fuzz covering your legs but your mom won't let you shave yet. What's a girl to do? Plenty. Here are a couple of shaving alternatives to get your legs feeling soft and smooth without ever touching a razor.

One of the best first-time defuzzers to try on your legs is a body mitten. A body mitten is used to gently rub off unwanted hair and dead skin on your legs or arms. Nair Buff-Off Body Mittens are made from durable polyester and coated with aloe. You simply rub the mitten in a circular motion and poof - no more hair. To soothe your skin after hair removal, rub on the finishing oil azulene (it comes in the package.) Body mittens are easy to use, they work and your legs will be silky smooth.

Another product that will get rid of that embarrassing leg hair before gym class is Nair AppleLicious and Raspberry Raz ma Taz Lotion. These two delicious smelling creams are specially designed for first-time hair removal. You just slather it on your legs and it works in as little as four minutes. Plus, it moisturizes your skin, leaves it super soft and keeps the hair away longer than shaving does.

If ya don't like your hands getting all gooey, Nair has another hair removal solution for you. They have a Roll-On Lotion With Easy-Grip Bottle. No fuss, no mess - just roll it on to get rid of unwanted hair. The cream works in just a few minutes.

All of these hair removal products can be used a bunch of times and you don't have to worry about giving yourself nasty shaving nicks. Hair removal products are available at your local drug or grocery store. It's a safe, simple way for a smooth set of legs.
