Product Reviews

I've tried a vast number of products since starting my hair care journey in November '08 but here's a review of some of the products I've tried. Remember what may not work for me may work for you and vise versa.

Products I absolutely LOVE


Suave: Professionals Humectant Conditioner

Product Image Suave Professionals Humectant Conditioner - 14.5 oz.

Ingredients: Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Dimethiconol, Fragrance, Quaternium-18, Potassium Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Edta, Tea-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Dmdm Hydantoin, Glycerin, Panthenol, Hair Keratin Amino Acids, Sodium Chloride, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

Uses: daily moisturizer

Review: This product leaves my hair feeling very well moisturized and silky. I used it once as a co-wash and the results were average but when I started using it as a daily moisturizer mixed with EVOO, I was blown away. I may even combine some distilled water and put it in a spray bottle

Note: I have combined the distilled water to the mix and added it to a spray bottle. I LOVE IT!!!

Update: Suave has changed their formula and claims it's more moisturizing. They've added honey and rosemary extract. I cannot find the new ingredients list online so I will post it later.

Ingredients: water, stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, stearamidopropyl dimethylamine, vanilla planifolia fruit extract, cocos nucifera (coconut) fruit extract, glutamic acid, fragrance, bisaminopropyl dimethicone, benzyl alcohol, edta, propylene glycol, methylchloroisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone, citric acid, blue 1

Uses: Daily Moisturizer (see http://hgdotnethair.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/my-moisturizer-mix/)

Review: I started using this product just as a trial but it has since replaced my Suave Humectant. This product leaves my hair incredibly soft and now I don't have to moisturize every day! I know some people do not like it (they say due to cones) but what works for one doesn't always work for another. This is a keeper.

Review: This shampoo is great for getting rid of all that hard water build up which causes the hair to dry up. I noticed a definite difference when I used it with hard water as compared to when I didn't. Because this has ALS, a moisturizing deep conditioner afterwards is a MUST!

Review: 5/5
