Product Review!!

So, I recently took my senegalese twists out. I tried some new products and I have some reviews!! =]

Mill Creek Botanical Biotin Shampoo





-I got this shampoo at The Vitamin Shoppe for around $7.  Its' pH balanced, paraben free, no artificial coloring, and it does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. 

Ingredients:
Deionized water, biotin, hydrolyzed keratin, peppermint oil, hydrolyzed elastin, niacin, folic acid, panthenol (provitamin B5), organic aloe vera gel, organic essential oil, jojoba oil, inositol, barley extract, sodium myreth sulfate, cocamydropopyl betaine (coconut oil), octyl dymethyl PABA, steryne/acrylates copolymer, citric acid, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, botanical fragrance.

I liked this product. I don't really like shampoo in general because I haven't found one that doesn't at least strip my hair a little. This one was one of the better shampoos that I have tried. I liked the lather and the tingle it left on my scalp. I would give this product 3.8 out of 5 stars. 



Aubrey Organics Honey Suckle Rose Conditioner

- I got this Conditioner from The Vitamin Shoppe for around $9. It's not too thin and not too thick, its' just about the right consistency of product. I would suggest using this as a deep conditioner to make it last because of the price and the consistency of the product.

Ingredients:
Coconut fatty acid cream base, organic aloe vera, organic shea butter, wheat germ oil, organic jojoba oil, organic Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Seed Oil; extracts of fennel, hops, balm Mint, misltletoe, camomile, yarrow, chrysanthenum, angelica, forsythia and magnolia; honeysuckle oil, carrot oil, Aubrey's Preservstive (citrus seed extract, vitamins A, C and E).

I LOVED this product. It gave me incredible slip and made my hair feel like silk. This is after JUST taking out my twists. That has been basically impossible for my 4a/b hair. Detangling in my shower was a breeze with this conditioner. Also, this is the only conditioner that I've ever used that has been able to semi-define my coils by it self. I usually have to use other products besides conditioner to have any definition. My hair was very moisturized after deep conditioning with it, including my ends, which has been a problem for me. I give this product 5 out of 5 stars and it is now a staple for me. I suggest that everyone try this product.



Some other products I used:
Jojoba Oil: 4.2 out of 5 stars
Herbal Essences Long term Relationship leave in (cream): 3.8 out of 5 (worked better when I mixed it with Aussie)
*****Aussie Hair Insurance leave in (spray): I did a premature review on this product in Oct. This product is now rated 5 out of 5 stars. Which I normally will not give for products that are not all natural.
*****Raw Shea Butter: 5 out of 5 stars, used for moisturizing, sealing, and stretching my locks. Love this product as well.

  1. Omg I live for this stuff! I don't get a chance to buy it that often, but I make it stretch until the next purchase. I love how it makes my hair soft and moisturized but heavily coated. Great review!

  3. Biotin Shampoo? sounds good! and I like the ingredients:) I have to try this, I've been trying to find a shampoo that's not too harsh.
