Product review: hask Macadamia oil hydrating deep conditioning hair treatment

I bought this last weekend, hadn't seen it before but figured since I love their macadamia oil exotic shine treatment, I should try this. Then i noticed the price $2.49 i almost put it back because i assumed it would be $1.00 like hasks henna and placenta paks. I also liked organix macadamia oil deep conditioner, but I ran out and the store I was at didn't have it in stock so I figured this would be the next best thing.

I washed, conditioned and detangles my hair, rinsed and towel dried my hair. I applied this to my hair in sections. Immediately my hair was softened and I could feel that my hair loved everything about this stuff. Section after section my hair felt amazing and the smell... Mmm heavenly. It smells just like the oil treatment so I wasn't surprised. I left this on overnight and rinsed in the morning.

My hair still felt soft, and smooth. It rinsed out clean and didn't leave a residue feeling. My curls were very defined and frizz free. And I could feel that it had penetrated my hair. I noticed a bit of a strengthening affect because there was less shedding when I was styling my hair afterwards. I could see why this was priced a little higher than their other treatments. And I'm glad I decided to go with this. I am very pleased with this, will buy again and would suggest this to anyone who likes macadamia oil, needs a moisturizing treatment or just want to revitalize their hair.

To be quite honest if I had to compare... I'd say I actually like this better than organix macadamia oil deep conditioner. My only gripe... I just wish they made this in a jar or bottle size, it would just make it a bit more convenient.

Product review: 1st impression: Loreal eversleek

1st impression of the shampoos: didn't soften my hair on contact as a moisturizing poo does. It almost felt as if it would strip my hair, but once I rinsed I was pleasantly surprised at how soft my curls were, I kept touching my hair.

1st impression of the deep conditioner: it's very light, it didn't feel like it would penetrate my hair shaft or moisturize it at all. But in the time I left one side to sit while I applied some to the other side, going back to the first to ensure its evenly distributed, my hair was softened and moisturized I couldn't believe it. and it was even better once I left it to sit the full 10 mins. I think this would work wonderfully in conjunction with a steamer.

1st impression of conditioner: it didn't detangle well, wasn't enough slip. At this point I just knew it was going to be amaze-balls, but it wasn't. I was disappointed.

1st impression of leave in: this stuff was great!! It moisturizes, detangles well, makes hair manageable, and defines curls a bit. I could see the sleeking effect with this. It's very very light though, so if you need something a bit heftier... You may not like this. This is a great summer product for me.

1st impression of finishing creme: another light weight moisturizer. I used this for a braid out, didn't really like it for that because it gave no hold so my hair was less defined and more pillowy (not necessarily a bad thing just not what I intended)... But it doesn't promise hold or definition so I couldn't be disappointed on that front. Next time I will use as directed to really review.

1st impression of precious oil treatment: I used this to take down my braid out, it added even more softness and the smell is great pretty reminiscent of the typical argan oil scent with a sweeter undertone.

Although I didn't straighten my hair with this line to see the benefits of the "sleek performance" I can say that my hair was a lot more manageable in its natural state, easier to comb even after being partially air dried, and better curl definition. It has a light moisturizing texture that leaves the hair very soft and not weighed down. This is great for the summer because its so light weight.

I plan on using it again in the warmer seasons, and this time I will straighten with it to really test the sleek properties of the line.

I'll be back for a full review of each piece.

My New Goodies!!!

Just picked these two up today. Hopefully they will be incorperated into my regimen. Organix hydrating macadamia oil intensive moisture mask and Hask macadamia oil exoticshine treatment. Review will be up soon.....

Product Review: Shea Moisture Deep Penetrating Treatment Masque

Soooo... I finally got my mits on some shea moisture deep treatment w\ raw shea butter and argan oil. Ive been hearing alot, both good and bad, about this product so i decided to try for myself. This particular day, I actually set out to buy mizani's fulfyl because i used to use it when I was transitioning and I liked the way it conditioned my hair. But along my nh journey I've learned that silicones arent good for our hair... and fulfyl is chock full of cones, but I was desperate to get that feeling back. So yes i set out for my cone fix, but they were out of stock at the Beauty Supply I go to. After disappointedly browsing the shelves for a substitute for 15 mins I refused to buy just ANYthing and remembered seeing shea moisture in a DR in the city about a week prior. So I went across the street to see if the one by me had it.

1st off I got mine at a local Duane Reade and paid 13+ for it after tax... wont do that again when I now know its sold a little cheaper at Walmart and target. Anyway... aside from being monetarily violated, lol, I must say I was very, very pleasantly surprised. I decided to use it twice before doing my review, since I know if I love something the 1st time I use it, I'm usually pissed and disappointed come the second time around.

Yes, I did use it as a DC and it worked just fine used the way its supposed to be used. I havent used it as a leave in as of yet, I know alot of you tubers prefer to use theirs as a leave in/ moisturizer... I dont know if thats because it didnt work for them as a DC or what, but every head is different.

It contains no parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, silicone, OR... alcohol (still dont know why that's a main ingredient in most conditioners anyway).Theres NOTHING bad in it... which was the selling point for me while i stood in the aisle studying the ingredients list. Its made of certified organic raw shea butter, oils, herbs, and extracts. It does everything it says it will, and has a good slip for detangling. And unlike alot of people, I actually love the scent!!! I guess every nose is different too (smile). I thought it was gonna stink from what I heard from others, its more if a shea butter smell to it. And... i didnt have to use a whole lot of it in order to saturate my hair (section by section of course), its a thick, rich consistency... so its gonna last a good while. Me likey that aloooot.

After I DC'd I flat ironed my hair straight, that was on friday... 4 days later and I havent had to touch it up yet. Its been humid, it tried to rain and get me caught out there... but my hair stayed straight, and thats saying ALOT cuz normally I could flat iron my hair tonight and wake up lookin like a fuzz ball in various parts of my head tomorrow morning, therefore having to re-flat iron a majority of it... which is why I hate wearing my hair straight. My hair is full, fine and dry so it needs the perfect amount of moisture to keep it from being either dried out or greasy looking.

********CHEESY****** INFO-MERCIAL****** ALERT!!!*********

Shea moisture is my perfect balance, and Im ecstatic that I dont have to look any further for a DC or settle for one with ingredients Im not totally comfortable with.
