Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017
It's expensive right? Well me tell you...it's totally worth the price!
(long and thorough review from my experience with transitioning hair!)
Background:
I am transitioning to natural hair! I'm about 3 1/2 months post relaxer (I have fast growing hair so I've got a lot of new growth). It's been hard trying out stuff that will work for both hair types. Learning how to soften, manage, and hydrate natural hair, while ALSO finding a product to work on the relaxed hair. I've been having issues with air drying (my hair would be as dry as THE EGYPTIAN SAND) as I want to stay away from heat during my transition. Anywho, I've tried oils (coconut oil, even caster oil but I haaaaate that smell yuck) and none of that worked for me. I read that I should try BUTTER for my hair instead of oil, as I have ultra thick hair. I bought this because of it's good reviews and it's pricy so...it must work right? :')
Well, it does!
Results:
I successfully air dried my hair with this! My hair is very soft and manageable too; it completely trapped in all the moisture I'd normally lose from drying my hair! I had my hair in braids for 2 days and I just took them out and I don't even feel the need to rehydrate my hair! Both my roots and relaxed hair feel so soft and slick. I am in awe of how awesome this stuff is!
The cons:
The price! Come on, its ridic expensive haha. But you PAY FOR QUALITY! Remember that folks. You get a small size of it too for how expensive it is.
It is also a little bit greasy. Greasy as in, when run my fingers through my hair I get a little bit of that grease feeling. That could be because I used too much. It was my first time using it soooo! >u> But to be honest it's not THAT greasy, just a little bit. I rather have no grease at all so that's why I count this as a con.
The pros:
The smell! Smells like vanilla. Very sweet and light smell, not that typical strong "natural" smell that unfortunately a lot of black haircare products have nowadays. (This has caster oil in it and luckily you can't smell it!)
THICC. It's super thick haha. We aren't given a large container but a little definitely goes a long way! I have a huge head with a ton of thick hair and you can't even tell I opened it haha.
IT WORKS! This is the best pro of them all. It actually works! It works so well that I decided to instantly write a review for it, because I'm so happy! This is going to make my transitioning process SO MUCH EASIER. Now I'm confident with air drying my hair, and I know that I can have soft and manageable hair all throughout my journey. It also makes my new growth nice and fluffy soft so I'm sure this product will be on my hair even when I'm completely natural!
This is a 5/5 star product. I feel it will be a holy grail product for me, even this early into my journey haha. I know I'm super psyched so I just wanna say I WAS NOT PAID for this, I paid full price for this stuff and I'm a very happy customer so that's why I'm enthuzzed!
