1.)Because it was out of my budget
2.)Because a lot of you tube videos I saw did not show women with my texture of hair who were using it... I'm talking about that built Ford though, "Must wet to truly comb," thick hair. Someone knows what I'm talking about!
Now before I type my quick review I will descibe my hair a bit details so hopefully it can help you desicde on if you would like to invest in this product or not.
Grade: NEGRO
Joking, but seriously
I have type 4 hair if your into typing. I believe it is 4a, but not the usual type 4a. Its coily mainly and curlier in the back. I only say type 4a because I saw a video that said 4a ranges from tight curls down to the shape of a pen's spring. Point is a comb is not gliding through with out aid. I have thick hair as well.
Review:......Pro's
-It smells great, there isn't a heavy shea butter smell. More like a shea butter/minty smell.
-Was easy to apply
-Conditioned my hair (moisture lasted all day and night and the second day there was still some moisture
-Even with thick hair you do not have to apply a lot as long as you really target those ends (geez)
-16 oz may last a while
-Less shrinkage than usual
Cons
-The Price, for the 16 oz its (58.00) there better be gold in the ingredients...
-Some of the ingredients (petrolatum for one), some people do not like putting this on their hair and skin because it is a water repellant. There are some other ingredients that I will have to look up because they are words that remind me of Organic Chemistry.
My over all opinion: I like it and I'm happy I bought it. I also like that I bought the 16oz from Dirt Cheap for 38.00 which is still a lot, but I felt a little better than paying 58.00. I recommend asking a friend who has the product if you can sample theirs...don't call me your friend just so you can sample mine lol (seriously)... I know someone was going to try that :). I had many compliments on my hair and it felt great to the touch. It is a bad feeling for your hair to look fly, but not pass "the touch test," yikes!
How I did it (summary):
1.) My hair was already twisted from co-washing and conditioning.
2.) I re-wet my hair just enough to dampen it (still is twist)
3.)I took down one section of twist AT A TIME and applied the BBC from root to tip *note if you have tightly coiled/curled hair you SHOULD not just lay it on your hair. Roll those selves up and cover each section enough not to leave a white residue, but to be on every part root to tip.
4.) I re-twisted as I finished a section in medium size sections * I did this so I could fluff my hair later.
5.) at night just re twist. * I rarely part my hair to twist I just grab hair.
Wet Twist out...
That night, re twisting for bed.
As stated this was a quick review, I try not to make these too long because I know you have a life or at least I do. If you have questions, comments, or a product request, Sadly I may have to product and I will try to post it as soon as possible :). Also if you would like more hair pictures with a particular product let me know. I plan to start vlogging soon and adding the videos to this page.
Thanks you all, I hope this helps someone,
