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.

The Urge To Color My Natural Hair...

If you have been following me for a while then you probably know that my hair has been through a lot. I have had a terrible dye job and there was   too much damage so I had to cut my hair and go back to a TWA, my hair grew back eventually and I had to cut it back into a TWA again because I still had the rough, damaged and porous ends. My hair is growing consistently now and I have incorporated protective styles and I have minimal breakage and it's great. I love it however I have been going through Instagram and I always see all of these pictures with people and their beautiful dyed natural hair and that is enough to make me want to run to the nearest supermarket and buy some dye and color my hair... then I remember what I went through with the first dye job... My first dye job was terrible but I love switching up my hair. I love experimenting. I don't ever want to feel tired with my hair. I love my jet black hair, don't get me wrong, however sometimes I just want a po

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

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

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
