I know in my last post I said that I was going to take down my box braids then attempt to install Marley twists............HOWEVER, I took down my box braids. It took me literally 8 hours of nonstop work. I sat in front of the television for EIGHT hours unbraiding those braids! My shoulders were sore, my legs were stiff, my back HURT...it was actually really relaxing though. My only breaks were to go to the bathroom. I didn't even eat!
After I was done taking them down, I couldn't fathom standing on my feet in front of the mirror for 4-5 hours installing Marley twists so I decided to wash and deep condition my hair and just allow it to breathe for possibly a few weeks.
So, now to the point of this blog...I felt like my hair would be dry and damaged after being in braids for 6 weeks. I wanted to do the absolute best deep condition my hair has ever received. I love the Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl and Shine Shampoo (wow that's a mouthful!) and decided to try the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Masque w/ Sea Kelp and Argan Oil for Dry Damaged Hair (another mouthful!)
Target:$9.99
When I opened the package, the product looked VERY thick and my first thought was, "YES! This is going to be the best deep conditioning treatment EVER!" Um.....not so much. So after separating my hair into sections, I scooped out a small amount and rubbed my hands together.........and was immediately disappointed. This product was SO thin and watery I couldn't even feel it when I put it on my hair! But since I paid $10 for this product I decided to give it a chance.
After coating this product over my hair thoroughly, I let it sit on my hair for 30 minutes and washed it out. Ok, you know how when you get a really good deep conditioner and when you rinse it out your hair feels all soft and luxuriously moisturized? Yeah. Not so much with this product. My hair felt dry and stringy even under the water! UGH! So I simply rinsed it out and blow dried my hair (I know I shouldn't have but oh well...). Now comes the strange part.......my hair was annoying and ugly feeling under the water but when I started blow drying my hair it was SOOOOO soft! I was in shock!
I honestly don't know if this is a good product or not....I honestly wouldn't buy it again but since I paid for it I will continue to use it and maybe mix a little coconut oil with it for more moisture.
Now THIS product on the other hand is GREAT! I absolutely love it!
Target:$9.99
I love this product so much. It's like a shampoo and conditioner all at once. When I wash my hair with this my hair feels like heaven on my scalp. Although it is very moisturizing, my hair doesn't feel heavy or caked up with product. I am a typical product junkie. When I get one product, I usually don't rebuy because I will buy another product to try because I JUST CAN'T STOP! However, I have purchased this product more than once and will continue to use it FOREVER!!!!!! (Well until I find something better)
I recommend everyone buy this product!!!
