Extraordinary hair

A year ago I cut my hair off with the plan of letting it regrow. A few months prior I chopped my long hair to a shorter style and was able to enjoy my hair in new ways. Cutting it has truly been a journey and has taught me to appreciate it in new ways.

One of the major challenges was finding products that worked well with my curls. Luckily, I got a Vox Box via Influenster which allowed me to try L'Oreal's Advanced Haircare Oil for free. The box included shampoo, conditioner and a leave in oil. And OMG. It is amazing. It smells fantastic and it works in my hair as well as my children's hair. All of us have different textures. The oil is light weight and doesn't weigh the hair down. The shampoo and conditioner help soften the hair. It's pretty amazing and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who asks.

I was lucky enough to be picked as a Risaroo Wovens Adventurer late last year. Which was really exciting as I was in my final weeks of pregnancy (impatience setting in) so it gave me a lot to look forward to. I got to pick which wrap I would use during my time as an Adventurer. Of all of the wraps shown, Perrault Cobalt stood out. The beautiful design and the amazing color, I was sold. I chose a size 4, which is base -1 for me. I figured I could do short carries with the newborn and modified base carries with the toddler. Win-win!

When it arrived, it was soft even in loom state. It quickly became softer with just a normal wash and dry. It had and AMAZING amount of texture. I love texture, I also don't believe in ironing. (I may not even own an iron. You would have to ask R?) I couldn't wait to wrap with it.

The cobalt threads which provided the texture give it the perfect amount of grip while the white provided the perfect amount of glide. It was easy to get the passes in place but they weren't going anywhere once they were there. It is moldable with very little stretch. It feels heavy in hand but that didn't translate to wear. It is breathable which is incredibly important in Southern California. Yes, even in January when it first arrived! It is great with the squish (13 lbs) for long periods of time in single pass carries, though I preferred it in multi-layer carries for my toddler (26 lbs.) It reminded me very much of Kerrington Pearl with a bit more texture.

Overall? I adore this wrap. Like most things Risaroo, this one is a keeper.
