My Opinion :

Since i don't use shampoo often. I decided not to use the shampoo just yet. I will use the shampoo at some point, so i cannot give a review. I am in love with the deep conditioner. It's thick like what i always want in a conditioner, the smell is delicious  and my hair felt extremely soft yet strong.The conditioner was easy to rinse and my fine hair did not feel weighed down, just very conditioned. It's a winner!!! although not completely natural, so i won't use it regularly. I know it works to soften and detangle and i will keep it on hand in case of emergency, lol  The hair lotion was a good surprise for me because it didn't think i would like it, but the hair lotion moisturized very well. I was also surprised that after sealing with the hair serum with keratin and argan oil (perfect blend) how soft and moisturized my hair felt. The only con about the hair serum is the smell. I'm big on smells and the serum was too strong smelling for my taste. Even with the strong smell and the products not being 100% natural. I must say. I was very impressed (i'm not easily impressed by products) So, ladies if you are looking for good products at a good price. I say give this line a try!!

22 weeks post!!!

Okay so i've made it to 22 weeks post. The longer i stretch the more the new growth seems to coil around each other. Even with the knotting and coiling this stretch has not been so bad. I have had some stretches that were so difficult to manage.  Always though at this point i'm thinking about going natural and also completely using all natural products. I have experimented with many hair care products mostly commercial products with lots of chemicals, most of which i cannot pronounce. So i'm really trying to buy only natural hair products . I have some great natural hair products that seem to work better than the commercial products anyway. I'm dying to try Wen hair care products (if you've tried Wen please let me know what you think about the product). The thing is, now i have two or more textures to deal with, and i don't know which hair conditioner will work with all the different textures. My new growth (is about 2-1/2 inches) is very coily and dry. My relaxed ends are dry but get weighed down if i use a conditioner with lots of oil, that works on my new growth!! So, i have been experimenting with using two different conditioners. One for the new growth and a different conditioner for the relaxed ends.

Here's what i'm doing to get a balance with the different textures :

1. Co-washing with any cheapie conditioner
2. Applying moisturizing conditioner to new growth (softening dry new growth)
3. Applying protein conditioner to relaxed ends (strengthening relaxed ends)
4, Moisturizing & sealing entire new growth and relaxed ends

This seems to be working for now, lol

P.S. if you have any suggestions, let me know :o)

My Opinion :

Once again pj-ism has kicked in. I knew it would. Whenever i see a new product (or an old product, lol) i just have to have it. I've been really good lately, sticking to my staple products, but i was just too curious to past this one by. Okay, the jury is still out on this one. The price is good, won't break the bank. I have used this product 4 times, so i could give an honest opinion about it. I'm not sure if it really strengthening my hair, but it isn't breaking it, and my hair doesn't feel the usual hardness of other strengtheners. I will continue to use this strengthener because my hair loves protein and needs it. I will alternate between this strengthener and my Shi-Naturals Herbal Tea Growth Tea.

Pros : 

smells nice

good price

makes hair easy to comb (pleasant surprise! )

did not leave my hair crunchy!!

can be used daily

Cons :

Have not really noticed much strengthening yet

This is the only con i've noticed about the product, but it's supposed to mainly be about strengthening, lol

Anyway! I'll keep ya posted!
