                  My Opinion 

I'm on a quest to find and use only natural products and ingredients. So last week i decided to clean out my stash of products i no longer wish to use. So i thought, lol. I saw some products that i haven't seen in years. Yes, i had products all piled up. While going through these old half used products (some were new too), i came across a product i had used a while ago. I remember having really good results with it. I threw everything else out but this product. Mega Growth Anti Breakage Strengthener Growth Lotion. So after washing and conditioning with my beloved Shi-Naturals products. I air dried and applied this lotion in sections. I didn't even seal with oil. I love this lotion. I don't have a clue as to why i stopped using it. Oh yeah. Not all the ingredients are natural, but i don't care. This is going back in staple products!! My hair felt moisturized and strong, and had lots of shine.

I give this product the big thumbs up!!!

My Results :   
My hair has a tendency to shed at this time of the year, and goes through a few changes along with the season. This time, i figured i would get a jump on the shedding with a garlic conditioner and a protein strengthening conditioner. Well, my Shi-Naturals Garlic Conditioner for Shedding really curbed my shedding a lot. Now for the protein conditioner. I wanted to try something different. Why? I don't know. The Shi-Naturals products work perfectly on my hair. But, being the product junkie that i am. I wanted to try something different. I saw the Every Strand Keratin Hair Treatment for Chemically Treated Hair conditioner. The price was right so why not give it a try. The conditioner is a thick formulation just the way i like my conditioners to be. It has a pleasant smell (i love a good smelling conditioner). So, i apply the conditioner in sections. Concentrating on the roots. I'm 13.5 weeks post with 2 inches of new growth (thanks Shi-Natural Grow Potion). I then put on my plastic cap, wrap a towel around my head. I let the conditioner sit for 1 hour without heat. I rinse. This is where the fun begins (*sarcastically*). As i'm rinsing, i can feel my hair clumping up. I keep rinsing, making sure all of this conditioner is out. I apply my leave in's, air dry about 80%. I was almost in tears!!! I could not get the comb thru my hair.It took me almost 4 hours to detangle, and i lost a lot of hair :o) This conditioner totally did not agree with my hair. How do i know it was this conditioner? Because it was the only thing i tried that was different. The moral of the story? If something works for you. Stick with it. I hope i've learned my lesson. Until i see something else, lol
