Review : Long & Lasting Leave - In Conditioner





I am on a HEALTH and CONFIDENCE journey. I'm trying to be healthy , getting my body to be fit , my hair healthy and my skin glowy and clear. I read product labels all the time nowadays because I want to know what I am putting on my hair and body.

I bought this product at Clicks for R31.99. I was basically looking for a cheap Leave - in conditioner to do the Kimmaytube ph balanced Leave in conditioner and this is the cheapest leave-in conditioner I could find.


[ INGREDIENTS : AQUA ( WATER ) , CETYL ALCOHOL , QUATERNIUM - 91, CETRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE , CETEARYL ALCOHOL PPG - 3 BENZYL ETHER MYRISTATE , BEHENTRIMONIUM METHOSULFATE , OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL , HYDROLYZED VEGETABLE PROTEIN PG-PROPYL SILANETRIOL , BETAINE , PARFUM  ( FRAGRANCE ) , BENZYL ALCOHOL , METHYLCHLOROISOTHIAZOLINONE , METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE , CITRIC ACID , AMYL CINNAMAL , BENZYL SALICYLATE , COUMARIN ]

This leave-in conditioner claims to nourish hair , making hair stronger and make it softer.


It's super light weight so it is perfect for my  fine strands. I don't want my hair to be weighed down because I love a bit of volume with my twist outs , so a super thick product is going to weigh down my hair and I'm going to be very unsuccessful trying to achieve volume.

My hair hates protein so when I saw "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" as one of the ingredients I knew I had to try it out and see if it works for me. My hair is super boujee.

The product is not a 100% natural , the only natural ingredient in the product is Aqua and that might turn off a couple of naturalistas that prefer 100% natural products.


I do not like the scent. It is okay but after a while it becomes too much and it is overpowering.

This product is perfect if you have colour treated hair , excessive shedding or weak strands , it will help  strengthen your strands because the hydrolyzed plant protein has been broken small enough to penetrate into the cortex.

However , there are countless blogs that warn naturalistas from using too much protein in our hair because it's detrimental and you can read all about it here .

I think I'm inlove with this leave-in conditioner because it allows me to seal in my moisture and also strengthen my strands at the same time.

And it is also vegan friendly 😊 🌱.

It's not a natural product and I was also a bit skeptical about it but so far it hasn't reacted negatively towards my hair. But our hair is different , what works for you won't work for me and vice versa.


I have mentioned in previous posts that protein treatments make my hair feel like steel wool but maybe plant protein is a better alternative for me because I have been using this leave-in conditioner for a month and my hair just gets softer and softer. However it's still early so I will update you if anything changes.

This is a keeper! I love it.

Hello?

I hope there are still people outchea because I have been M. I. A but I promise that I have a good excuse : I'm in university now! 2017 was my gap year and that is why I could keep up with my weekly uploads but now that everything has been switched up and a lot has happened in a short space of time like emotional, financial, mental, physical stress and a little bit of drama 🙄. I had to take a digital cleanse and concentrate on some other things because they required most of my time and attention. I had to move to the North West and I had to adapt to the location, language, weather and a new schedule and I literally had no time to do anything besides study and do all my chores.  One thing that has drastically changed is the way I handle my finances. My disposable income is next to nothing because I have so many expenses and I have to cut corners in my natural hair regimen in order to keep my sanity and money and I figured that I'm not the only student going through this ...

How I Trim My Natural Hair

Image
If you follow me on  Instagram then you have probably seen that I have been rocking a mini puff and I'm excited that my hair is growing like a weed but I have to pull myself back and remind myself that I need a trim. As much as I love my current length I also have to trim my hair because a delayed trim can make me go back to a TWA in a matter of minutes because I would have to cut the damage that traveled all the way up my strands and so to avoid that I need to trim. Oh by the way, my hair is in the awkward stage and I have been incorporating a couple of protective styles. There are a few ways to trim your natural hair. I used two methods that are quite popular. I make sure to detangle small sections and I used : Spritz bottle Leave in conditioner Detangle brush Pik .. After detangling a section I spritz some water on my hair and apply a bit of leave in conditioner and rake it through my fingers and then I use my detangling brush to further detangle. I lost ...

Update : My Health And Confidence Journey + Going Vegan

Happy new year beautiful people , I know I'm late but I hope it still counts. A few days ago I made my way to the gym and I just felt strange , like I was lacking something  , I'm pretty sure you know that feeling , it's that feeling when it feels like you the only person noticing the change and everyone doesn't see anything and you go around asking people "do you see it though" , that is exactly how I felt a couple of days ago. I made my way to the gym and after my workout I took a warm steamy shower and I felt uneasy when I saw my shadow. I looked a bit closer and questioned myself like : " could it be ? " and I looked a bit closer and I finally found why I felt peculiar that day . My thighs aren't touching anymore , they touch just a little near my pelvic area though , and my muffin top is getting smaller. I also couldn't believe it. All that hard work is finally paying off. I have also noticed a difference in my back and my ri...

Let's Talk About My Naps + Searching For My Staple Products.

A couple of days ago I was compiling a topic list and as I was going through it , I realized that I have all these topics where I share my views and recommendations but you really don't know much about my hair and I have a natural hair blog 😳 . . . Oh well , today I took out the time to talk about my naps and I figured that this would be important if you are wondering what my hair texture is and if our hair would react differently/similar to certain products. The most important thing is probably texture so I have multiple textures on my head. I have only described my hair as coily and that doesn't really tell you much because some people with looser textures describe their hair as coily. So my hair is : 3c at the nape / maybe my coils are a little looser there. I have cut a couple of curls back there because I thought that it was heat damage . I'm still not sure if my coils are a  looser 4b coil or they are actually 3c. I'm on the fence about this. 4a at the b...
