Product Review: Aussie Split End Protector


So I've been using this product for a few months and it is my new love(: I first bought it because the old HE LTR formula had changed again and my hair did NOT agree with it and I heard that Aussie was basically the old LTR. Other than the smell I completely agree! Another plus of this product is my hair likes it on wet hair as well! The old LTR wasn't good on my wet hair and I only used it to moisturize, it's nice to know that I can use my Aussie as a leave in and moisturizer, but I mainly use it as my moisturizer at night. It doesn't leave my hair sticky and makes it feel smooth soft and juicy! The smell is light and kind of coconuty. My only issue with this product is the bottle is a little on the small size but the price is nice so it's not a huge deal. Also when the product is running down, the pump doesn't work as well anymore but neither of these issues are anything to cry over. Overall I completely recommend this product!!

Pros: smell, consistency, available everywhere, old LTR formula, works on wet and dry hair
Cons: small container, pump doesn't work when product gets low
Repurchase?: YES!!!!

HairVlog: Grapeseed Oil!

Wow so grapeseed oil must have been one of the first oils I purchased on my hair journey. Back in the beginning I didn't really know what I was doing or what my hair liked. Anyways I finished my first big bottle and bought another one but I had bought other oils so I kind of forgot about my grapeseed oil. Well my avocado oil recently went bad so I decided to go back to my grapeseed oil and seal with it. The next day my hair felt so incredibly nice and soft1 I had completely forgotten how wonderful my hair feels when I use this oil. I guess that old saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it" is really true. It's okay to venture away from staple products but remember what products always make your hair feel healthy and juicy!

Proclaim Hair Masque Review(s)!

So today was my wash day and I decided to clarify and try my new Proclaim Hair Masque. Putting the product in, it instantly detangled my tangled hair which was very nice. The smell was a little odd but I didn't hate it. The consistency is pretty thick but glides into wet hair very nicely. I let it sit in my hair for 15-20 minutes then washed it out. When it came to detangling my hair was just a tiny bit more tangly than normal but no biggie, I did just clarify my hair after all. But my hair felt dry in the shower. After I applied my leave ins my hair still felt just a bit dry. Normally I rollerset but it's too hot so I just airdried in a ponytail. When my hair was drying it felt kinda soft except for some spots. When I wake up tomorrow morning I'll finish the first time use review!

Day After: 
Well when got up in the morning my hair felt better and now that I'm 2 days post wash, I can say my hair feels pretty good! Normally when I dry in a ponytail, my hair is kinda hard the rest of the time but my hair hasn't been like that this time. I think I didn't give the masque a fair review because my hair is prone to conditioner shock (may do a post about that later) and I had clarified leaving my hair more dry than normal. I will definitely use up the rest of my sample packet and tell you guys the final results!

Conclusion:
So I used this product about twice and I don't really want to anymore. It had a very interesting smell that some may like and others may despise, for me it was just in the middle. Did my hair feel more moisturized when I used this product? Not really, if anything it felt less soft than what my hair normally feels like after I DC with my normal conditioner. That being said I did only use it twice so I can't really give a fair review but for me it isn't worth using again so I'll just toss the sample pack and keep it moving! I say try the sample though what may not work for me may be your new staple product, always remember that!

Product Review - Elasta QP Silk Thermal Designing Liquid

 
One of my favorite leave in's, Elasta QP Silk Thermal Designing Liquid! I mainly do rollersets in my hair and I have 3 main leave ins and without this one, my hair would never come out as nice as it does. This product leaves my hair with a nice shine, but also an awesome hold. I find that when I don't put too much of this in my hair, my hair comes out "fluffier" and more easily prone to frizz which isn't good. I tend to put more than I should of this product in my hair just to make sure it's fully covered. This product gives my hair a solid hold from my rollersets, but leaves the hair manageable, and holds the curl a LOT longer than normal which I love. The smell is light and doesn't really linger. What I do is shake up the bottle a little and spray 5-6 squirts in my hands and spread it through my hair then take 2-4 more squirts and concentrate on my ends. I love my Design Silk and it's a staple leave in for me, my hair would be nothing without it! I find mine at my local Sally's and I don't really see it elsewhere. It's about 2-4$ I think which is a decent price because it lasts for awhile. Now this says it's a heat protector but I've never used it for that purpose, only rollersets. 

Pros: price, hold, scent, shine
Cons: availability, not sure about heat protector
Repurchase?:  Yes!
