My hair after using these three products for the first time.
Well good evening to you readers! I feel so happy and blessed to be back with ya'll to share my first review since my lil guy was born. I'm going to try to keep this review short and sweet but I can get long winded at times, so if I do please forgive me ahead of time.
Why did I try these three products in the first place?? Not long ago I decided that I was NOT going to continue to be a product junkie so I stopped buying products until I felt that I had gone through enough of my stash to do so. A couple of weeks ago while shopping at Sally's I came across the Shea Moisture line and was hooked to the Noni & Monoi series because I had never tried it and it's safe for color treated hair. And lets not forget that there was a sale of buy two and get the third free so you know that I couldn't pass that up one bit. Due to that sale I came home with the Smooth & repair low lathering and conditioning shampoo, the smooth and repair rinse out conditioner and the smooth & repair nourishing hair masque.
What did I do to get started? Some people refer to this part of my regimen as pre-pooing but I simply calling it my deep conditioning time. I started out my light misting my hair with water and then I split my hair up into medium sized sections and generously applied the hair masque both to my hair and scalp, placed two plastic bags over my hair and let my hair sit for about thirty minutes.
Once time was up I hopped in the shower, rinsed the masque, washed and conditioned my hair with the smooth and repair shampoo and conditioner, and then I was done! A leave in conditioner is something that I always put onto my hair and scalp so I used another leave in conditioner and oil to complete my LOC method.
What do I honestly think of these products? First and foremost all three products really work quite well so that's something possitive that has to be said right off the bat, but I'm not a big fan of using low lathering shampoos at all. I know that low lathering shampoos have a great purpose but it's just something that I don't like using at all and the smell of the shampoo didn't help either because it stinks. The shampoo probably has the worst scent for a hair cleanser that I have ever smelled which is sad because had the scent been better I probably would like it a tad bit more.
The hair masque and conditioner smell just alike and both have a very calming smell that's very similar to the Shea Moisture products with the shea butter. The masque is nice enough to use on a regular basis because it does make my hair feel stronger, so since my hair has grown quite a bit I'm resorting to deep conditioning my hair with this masque every other week instead of every week to help save my product.
The conditioner is probably my favorite item from this trio because it makes my hair feel and smell wonderful both while applying it to my hair and scalp and after my hair has dried. Just like the other Shea Moisture conditioners that I've used it does not have the best slip but that's not something that I worry about all too much since I've resorted to de-tangling my hair out of the shower instead.
Now I cannot tell you for sure just how well it controls frizz since my hair is very very kinky and course on a regular basis and I've resorted to keep my hair in a protective style. But what I can tell you is that all products work well and if I had to buy any of the products I again I would choose to pick up the conditioner and hair masque. The shampoo can stay at the store.
Well my youngest is calling so I must go. I hope that this review helped!!
