I was really pleasantly surprised with the size of the tub. The contents was near full and was a great first impression. The tub itself is beautiful and the hair food smells lovely. Not too strong but very pleasant.
I tried it all three ways stated on the container. The first day I tried it I used it as a Leave-in Conditioner and I found this great on the dry ends of my hair because I get such staticky hair and this calmed it down really well. Next I tried it as a conditioner and wasn't too impressed. I felt my hair look oily and dirty after using it but I didn't wash it out until a few days later when I washed my hair and used the product sparingly as a hair mask. After that wash my hair looked great. Silky and smooth and well moisturised.
I feel this product does what it says and I will definitely continue to use it and recommend it to my friends.
The product smells very nice upon opening. The scent reminds me of shea butter products. It had a nice thick ’n‘ creamy consistency, i think perfect for a hair mask.
I enjoyed using it both as a 1) hair mask and 2) a conditioner as it both left me with light and soft hair for three days, together with a nice lingering fragrance that wasn’t too strong for me. My fine black hair after drying felt soft, very light and hence, straight and easy to comb.
I enjoyed trialling it out as a hair mask, as It’s not something i often use. I feel the next time i use it, i should try it leave it in longer and see what happens.
The second time; in which i used it as a conditioner, i realised the smell wasn’t as strong and nutty as the first time. But maybe because i got so use to the smell already? Or that i didn’t use enough this time?
The product was easy to apply. It glides on easily onto wet hair. Didn’t feel too heavy nor slimy for me which makes it easy and quick to wash off, without the feeling of having to rinse again.
However, i wasn’t too fond of using it as a leave-in hair treatment, as the consistency i feel was too thick and heavy for a leave-in. I think i used too much than I should have.
There wasn’t any applicators that came with the product, nor any instructions on how much to apply, which means I had to dig into it with my hands a few times trying to guess an appropriate amount for the first time i used it, and trying not to wet the inside of the container at the same time.
Overall, I prefer to use it as a mask or conditioner. It would have been better if it gave my dry hair a little bit more hydration though... as it didn’t end up as smooth as i would have expected It to. However, im willing to try out other fragrances of hair food in this line in the future.
Tips: Store it in a dry place.
Use very little if using as a leave-in. Can brush it in using a comb for more even application.
