Lustrasilk olive oil cholesterol conditioner

One word CRAP to the MAX! I had heard rave reviews about the shea butter and mango version of this product unfortunately I don’t live that near the store about an hour away so I decided to get the olive oil variety I applied this to my hair freshly washed and sealed in. This left my hair feeling mega dry for some unknown reason till I looked at the ingredients -oh HELLO THERE  ALCOHOL! I’ve heard of it being used as a pre poo treatment combined with a little olive oil or coconut oil to increase potency but have yet to try this when I do I’ll let you guys know.

update 2014: still continued to be a rubbish product unfortunately

Cantu butter-Leave in repair conditioner

I used this on and off for a period of about 3 months on average about once a week, I found it frankly to be drying and hardly imparted any moisture to my hair really wasn’t impressed with it. It left a whitey residue on my hair and didn’t combine well with certain products I unfortunately found  this out the hard way and still have a tub full of it which I am currently trying to palm off onto my younger sister like the darling I am –remember readers sharing is caring J

Ecostyler olive oil gel

I have used this on twists and twist outs and for slicking down edges. I found it to be very moisturising not drying my hair out or making my edges dry and crusty as compared to some of the other gels on the market, one downside about it was that although it claims to have alot of hold I did not find it to especially when I came to wearing afro puffs and wanted to slick both large areas of hair in the back and front the hold wasn’t so good perhaps I should try the ecostyler protein variety?

Africas best herbal oil

I bought this and used it for a period of 4-5 months on my body aswell as my hair as a sealant, its worked wonders leaving my hair nice and shiny but not sticky and gloopy like some oils can do. I am sure it will be fab as a hot oil treatment although I haven’t used it as this yet. I used the full bottle which is unusual for me I usually get tired of a product and stop using it before the bottle reaches half way. It has a nice light scent and nice consistency. Thumbs up 9/10 and its good buy for money conscious buyers aswell.

Herbal essences Totally twisted conditioner

This was a good conditioner i used it for a period of 3 months on and off it added moisture to my hair and really defined my curls I would recommend this as a wash out conditioner especially for wash and go’s though .Although it did make mine very shrunken the curls were a popping J I used this as a leave in once didn’t really like it left my hair feeling a bit sticky then the next day it had quite a drying effect.

Twisted sista different strokes serum-Urban therapy

Instantly eliminates frizz for both straight and curly hairstyles

I saw this product in BeautyBox for £1.99 and was having problems with frizzies, so decided to give it a whirl. I applied it on freshly washed hair after my leave in but before the oil sealant and twisted my hair up into about 20 twists. When I unraveled them about 12 hours later and put my hair into a puff it was slightly smoother. It’s not a product I will sing to the heavens about as it didn’t have that much effect and was frankly a waste of money. I tried it again on dry, 3 day old, hair this time and it had absolutely no effect whatsoever. So unless I give it away it’s for the trash can.
