Hair products I currently own
I am going to give a list of the products I currently own from the oldest to most recent, what I use each for (if I use it at all) and my views on them. Here it goes:
1. INFUSIUM 23 Pro-vitamin Leave in hair treatment for relaxed permed or color treated hair
I originally got this because I was reading up on the Crown and Glory method and had decided to use braids to grow my short natural hair. The method recommended this product as a leave-in while wearing the braids. I only had the first set of braids for 2 weeks seeing that they got really fuzzy, and i never got the second set. lol. But,INFUSIUM 23 seems to be a good leave-in, i use it occasionally (like once a month) and it does seem to help my hair.When this bottle is done i will not be replacing it though. Found a great replacement which I will be writing on somewhere below.
2.MOTIONS CPR Triple Action leave-in conditioner for all hair textures
I love the smell of this product. It has a soft, yet sweet fragrance. I bought this when i was trying to incorporate moisture into my regimen. But, it has hydrolyzed protein in it. It made my hair feel really soft after i put it in, but even if i seal it, it tends to dry out easily.
Will not be replacing product when finished.
3.Mango and Lime Locking Gel
This gel I had gotten to twist my natural hair. I love the fruity smell of it and the consistency is between buttery and jelly. Makes my hair feel really nice and gives good hold when dry. This product is a keeper especially for twists, that is all i will be using it for.
4.TAP TRESS TRANZITIONS blow dry straightening lotion
I have had this product since last year. But I just started using it about 2 months now. I can not testify for it's straightening abilities, seeing that i use my blow dryer on the lowest setting just to make my hair more manageable for weekly styling. What i can say is that it makes my sections very easy to detangle before blow drying and seems to protect my hair well. It has a creamy consistency. When it is done, I intend to get the Tressemme Heat Tamer simply because it is in a mister bottle and also protects well.
5. Ampro Pro Styl styling gel
This protein gel is not greasy, has no alcohol and doesn't flake in my hair. I use it for slicking my hair and it does a good job. But, when it is done i want to try the brown eco-styler gel.
6. Ampro PRO STYL Shine n Jam
I don't like this product...it's very greasy, does not slick well and has mineral oil. It was given to me by my mom, and i will not be getting another one..Not even sure what to do with the rest of it :/
7.Creme of Nature Argan Oil Gloss and Shine Mist
I love the scent of this oil mister and i use to use it to seal, but there are like 4 cones in it and i have become weary, i really don't want to do anything to harm my hair. So what i am not sure of, I will try to avoid.
8. TALIAH WAAJID Protective Mist Bodifier Medicated formula
This so far, is my favorite product! I think it definitely does what it says on the bottle. Which is; stops itching and minor scalp irritations, moisturizes and conditions, soothes scalp on contact, softens for manageability and coats hair and stops breakage. It does make my scalp look good, makes my hair way easier to de-tangle and appears to make it stronger, not to mention that it moisturizes and seals. I mix it with water to make it last longer.So far i have had it for almost a month and it's now at the quarter bottle mark. Certainly intend to get another bottle.
9. Parachute 100% Pure Coconut oil
I love coconut oil, so it doesn't really matter the brand. As long as it's pure.
I like to mix this with water in a mister bottle to refresh my hair or sometimes when I detangle I will use it on my ends. Also I use it as a pre-poo and it works lovely.
10.Tangle Teezer
I have heard mixed reviews about this product. But I will have to stick with my results. Since i have been using the Tangle Teezer I have been retaining more length. I can see myself using this for the rest of my life. It makes detangling a breeze and works well on both dry and wet hair.It's also great for smoothing product onto the hair strands. I really do love the Tangle Teezer.
Well, those are the products I have so far, but look out for new product reviews and please comment so i can know your views on the products too!
