Taya Amazon White Clay Collection Review

February 5, 2014
[button link=”https://www.hairsprayandhighheels.net/about/disclosure-content-uses/” target=”_blank” color=”D”  align=”right”]PRESS SAMPLES[/button] Taya Amazon White Clay Collection Review
Adds body, richness and thickness to fine, thin, lifeless hair? Sign me up! Ever since I was a little girl I have had baby fine hair and I certainly don’t make the situation any better by chemically treating it or using heat tools so when I come across a product that can help put some oomph back into my hair, I’m all about it. The Taya Amazon White Clay collection promises to do all the right things for fine hair! I was excited to try them out, if it’s going to help me cut down on the time I take each day to tease this hair to Jesus then I definitely want to look into it!

Taya is a line that I hadn’t previously heard about so I went straight to the source to find a bit more out. All TAYA products are formulated free of sulfates, parabens, animal products, and animal testing. TAYA products embody those unique combinations of the rainforest’s botanical treasures that have been passed down from mother to daughter….. for untold generations. All indigenous rainforest botanical ingredients are sourced through environmentally sustainable programs which are free of toxic and agrochemical agents, or genetically modified elements, and where the local communities directly benefit from their harvests and conservation efforts. I was definitely intrigued by the ingredients and ready to try everything out! The Taya Amazon White Clay collection has the same key ingredients for each product: Amazon White Clay. extracts of Croton Lechleri Resin and Raw Avocado Oil. They all equally smell AMAZING!

Taya Amazon White Clay Shampoo & Conditioner
Taya Amazon White Clay thickening shampoo ($22) & thickening shampoo ($20) – I’ve definitely been one to admit that I will pull out the big bucks for a shampoo and conditioner if they’re worth it even if I think the price is a bit high for this drugstore loving girl. This is a combo I’d put the money out for. Both the shampoo and conditioner are formulated with Amazon White Clay, extracts of Croton Lechleri Resin and Raw Avocado Oil to help expand, thicken, and infuse body and fullness to every hair strand. I’ve tried a lot of shampoo and conditioners that promise to give you body and most times they fall short but for these two gems, I did notice that after letting my hair air dry there seemed to be a bit of an extra oomph in it’s usually lifeless appearance. The shampoo leaned on the thicker side but gave off a pretty nice lather and rinsed out easily you just have to use the tiniest amount because it’s so thick that using more will leave you with wasted product everywhere. The conditioner got the job done and doesn’t appear to leave you with any sort of build up and was a lot thinner then it’s shampoo sister!

Taya Amazon White Clay Thickening Hair Spray
Taya Amazon White Clay thickening hair spray ($24) – I’m an aerosol, purple can of Aquanet kind of gal so I’m never really sure how to appropriately use sprays like this but I decided to give it a try. Taya says it provides a long lasting, strong, yet flexible hold, that helps create natural, movable, healthy looking styles, while helping to expand, enrich and infuse body and fullness to every hair strand. I have to say (COULD ABSOLUTELY BE USER ERROR) this just didn’t do it for me, my hair was crunchy and not movable and you could visibly see where I had sprayed the hair spray because it had a slick almost wet look to it. For the price, I will definitely be sticking to my drugstore cans 😉

Taya Amazon White Clay Leave-In Mist
Taya Amazon White Clay thickening leave-in mist ($22) – Here is where I had my (naturally) blonde moment. The first time I used this I SO did not read the directions and just assumed based on the words “leave-in” that it was a detangler/leave-in conditioner type product meant to be sprayed liberally on wet hair like I would with any other… right? WRONG. I’m so embarrassed to even admit it but it’s a freaking finishing spray and how dumb did I feel when I was all ready to hate it because my hair dried into a crazy, crunchy, scary mess of nonsense? Super dumb, that’s me! lol. So after actually reading it and using it how it’s meant to be used as a finishing spray, I la la la la love it! It gave me that flexible, touchable hold that I needed for a day of straight hair! It shocked me that I was able to get this to work but I just went very light-handed with it which is what I probably should have done with the hairspray.

Taya Amazon White Clay Thickening Styling Creme
Taya Amazon White Clay thickening styling creme ($22) – formulated with Amazon White Clay, extracts of Croton Lechleri Resin and Raw Avocado Oil, which help to expand, enrich, and add fullness, body, bounce, and control to fine, thin, or weakened hair. This light-weight formula creates texture and density while helping control your style and smoothing down fly-aways, creating a glossy, finished look. You need the tiniest bit of this and you’re really getting a lot of bang for your buck with this one! I have little baby hairs and fly-aways like you would not believe and this really helped keep those soldiers in line!

Taya Amazon White Clay Collection
Taya Amazon White Clay & Acacia Collagen hair plumper ($24) – This stuff is legit. Worth every penny, and I already want to order another bottle to make sure that I am not without it! An innovative, fast-drying mousse and hairspray, all-in-one formula, that allows you to instantly and effortlessly add fullness and plumpness to your style, creating volume, lift, dimension, and texture. Formulated with Amazon White Clay and Acacia Collagen, this unique recipe maximizes your hair’s body and substance, creating denser, fatter looking hair as it hydrates each strand. Encourages thicker, more abundant, luscious, plumping looking hair, and helps infuse every strand with rich moisture, shine and a long lasting flexible hold that helps create natural, movable, bouncy, healthy looking styles. I use a few different mousse like products depending on which way I am styling my hair so I consider myself in the know when it comes to one that touts ‘volume’  and this one definitely does with almost little to no product!

Taya Amazon White Clay thickening hairspray ($24) – I’ll be upfront here, like I said above.. I am an aquanet girl. This is New Jersey, we like big hair and I will probably never love anything more then I do that pretty purple can of love (you can totally judge me) but I still expand my horizons in the hairspray world and I have a few other tried and true favorites! This has become one of those! A really strong hold BUT completely flexible it held my hair in place but left it soft enough that I could run my fingers through it if I wanted. Don’t let the price tag scare you, sometimes it’s worth loosening our purse strings if the product is just right and this one definitely is.

Taya Amazon White Clay thickening whipped clay ($24) – I’m always intrigued by ‘whipped’ products because I don’t really see what makes them different then a mousse. I’m always waiting around for some wow factor when they have whipped in the name but they’re always just mousse. That’s not to say this product didn’t do what it said it would do because it did, I just don’t think you would need it if you already have the hair plumper or the other way around. They basically yielded the same results. All of my fine haired friends know that we can’t put more then 2-3 products in our hair anyway because the buildup will start to work against us and weigh us down. So if you’re having to choose you could pick either, they both work awesome you just don’t need the two.

Overall I was impressed with this collection, everything did what it said it was going to with the exception of the liquid hair spray but honestly that could just be my inability to figure out how to use something other than an aerosol can! The price is mid-level and lays right between drugstore and high end and with most of the items you’re getting a lot of bang for you buck making them totally worth the little extra splurge!

You can find all of these products on the official Taya website & if you’re looking for a little oomph in your lifeless hair you will definitely get it! BONUS: If you’re a US resident  you can register here to be a part of their community and receive a FREE packet of their Amazon White Clay Thickening Creme!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost. To show that one day, it could be their picture plastered across news outlets with a black and white filter.” - @beelzeboobz⁣
⁣
In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣
⁣
The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

“Since the pandemic, violence against women especially domestic violence has intensified” @unwomen⁣
⁣
While the majority of homicide victims are men, women are the primary victims of intimate partner homicide, including homicide–suicide events.⁣

Drug dealers get longer sentences than rapists. ⁣
⁣
Breonna Taylor’s murderers still haven’t been arrested. ⁣
⁣
Globally, 1 in 3 women experience physical or sexual violence mostly by an intimate partner⁣
⁣
#WomenSupportingWomen looks a lot like putting in work to actively combat and also recognize violence against women. It looks like voting for political figures who don’t want to take the rights of women away. It looks like donating to causes that actively fight for these women. ⁣

Would you ever say the things you say to yourself Would you ever say the things you say to yourself to another woman? ⁣
⁣
I absolutely wouldn’t tell a woman that her thighs were too big. Or that I hated her stretch marks. Or her belly stuck out too far. Or that her arms were fat. ⁣
⁣
So why the frick am I ok saying it to myself? Sometimes we all need a little reminder when we look in the mirrror...⁣
⁣
Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣ ⁣ 1 Wanna hear some random things about me?! ⁣
⁣
1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣
⠀⁣
2️⃣ I went to an all girls catholic high school and was asked not to take Spanish 3 because I talked too much 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
3️⃣ I have two cats, a dog, and a husband that I’ve been with since I was 16 years old⠀⁣
⠀⁣
4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣
⠀⁣
5️⃣ I listen to murder podcasts to fall asleep.⠀⁣
⠀⁣
6️⃣ Playing with makeup is my happy place. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
7️⃣ I love the hottest hot sauces that most people won’t even smell. ⠀⁣

9️⃣ If I won the lottery I’d buy a tiny house in the middle of nowhere ⁣
⠀⁣
🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
