|
|

This has replaced chamomile tea as my mister and leave-in. It has a wonderful earthy sent and great ingredients.
It does separate a bit and need a good shake before use, but the spray bottle is very effective, giving a wide light mist rather than a hard direct stream.
As a leave-in I find it too strong to use straight, unless my hair is already wet from a shower. As a mister I use 1 part Sea Buckthorn Detangler and 3 parts distilled water on dry hair before bunning in the morning. It does enhance and help hold curls into shape, as my bun curls are much more defined and last longer with this than without it.

Pros:
|
Moisturizes and gets rid of frizz without weighing hair down
|
|
Cons:
|
The smell!
|
|
I loved how well this leave-in worked on my curly/wurly hair, but I simply can't get past the smell. It's absolutely horrid. At first when I spray it on, it smells woodsy and nice, but as it start to drys, it smells like rotting leaves. I'm usually not sensitive to smells, but I only use this at night so I don't have to go out with it on my hair.

I bought it based on the reviews here.
When I got home I opened it and sniffed it, it smelled . . .musty.
I sprayed a few squirts on the back of myhand and the squirter didn't seem to want to push well. I opened it up and pulle dthe squirter all the way out. there was mold all around the edge of the tube at the water level and up under the cap.
I took it back to the Health Food Coop, the nice people there not only helped me find a good one (brand new out of the case) they checked all of them on the shelf, out of 5, 2 had mold. So with mine, that's 3 of 6.
Any-hoo. I've been using it for a couple of weeks. I wanted something to help smooth my hair while up and be conditioning since I'm shampooing more in the summer.
My hair is soft, less frizz, and it smells nice. So it IS good stuff. (Just check it)
