   This dc is a very thick and creamy one. When I first opened the packaging I was very happy to see that. The line has several products for different hair types and I liked that. This means that the company pays attention to our unique hair needs. I of course needed the products made for curly to kinky hair. The smell is very... odd to say the least. I can't tell of the smell. I have been using this products for the past 2-3 weeks and I have gotten a great analysis of it and I have built up some knowledge about it. Anyway lets get to the pros & cons.

Pros

• Very thick
• Great Ingredients
• Moisturizes hair very well
• Great slip for de-tangling
• Absorbs into the hair very well
• Mixes great with other ingredients (oil, other conditioners)
• Leaves hair feeling excellent

Cons

• Why aren't there bigger jars for sale
• $16 is a little expensive considering but I would pay that because I love this deep conditioner. 

Last Thoughts! 

I personally love this deep conditioner. I understand that Shea Moisture is cheaper but this conditioner offers something that shea moisture does not. There is something so divine and penetrating about this deep conditioner it is amazing. Sitting under the dryer with a shower cap, or sitting under the steamer makes this dc sooooo much better too. I love this stuff and I have willingly added it to my product line up.

      This leave in simply makes me go hmmm. This leave in is not thick at all. it is thicker then Vo5 Moisture Milks if you know what that is but it is not as thick as Aussie Moist if you catch my drift. I feel as though this leave in is not thick enough! Thick hair or more tightly coiled hair needs thicker products. However I do really like this leave in. It is very light weight and if used on wet hair it does help form curls very well. I think that has to do with the ph of the products however. Anyways, pros & cons.

Pros

• Light weight 
• A little goes a long way
• Moisturizing
• Great for mixing or adding
• Simple perfect leave in

Cons

• Not thick enough
• Moisturizes however you need to apply it atleast once a day if you have thicker hair
• Missing something... Not quite sure

Last Thoughts!

Sigh... Though I think this is a great leave in, I am still on the hunt for something better. DON'T GET ME WRONG, this leave in is awesome for ladies with a 3a-3c hair type. Anything past that... AND this conditioner is better then ANYTHING Olive Oil has to offer because it is all natural and it doesn't dry out my hair which is great to me. This conditioner is great for layering and I use it under my shea butter or other things. And it is good for mixing. However... I will continue to use this leave in but I am still searching for my 9/10. Something thick, rich, creamy, and naturally divine. 

Evolve Conditioning Cap

Cost: $2.50-$3
Rating: 10/10


OMG!!! This $3 wonder is awesome!!! If you are used to conditioning your hair with a shower cap and sitting under the drier, then this is great for you. This conditioning cap is so much better than a simple shower cap. It is made specifically for conditioning and locks in and holds heat. This cap really says you can use it with body heat alone but when pairing it with a drier, AMAZING! I would even go as far to say this cap is better than my Heutiful Hair Steamer! :-O Oh no she didn't, oh yes I did! I love this little cap and I have only used it twice. The elasticity on it is tight so nothing slips out, and it is very heat efficient. Two huge thumbs up!!! Give it a try, Walmart sells it for very cheap. 

Heutiful Hair Steamer Review

Cost: $125
Rating: 7.9/10


Last year I brought a Heutiful Hair Steamer. I did not want to do a detailed review because I wanted to use this product a few times. The steamer comes in 3 parts and they are very easy to put together. In this heutiful steamer video I show you how. This hair steamer is very nice, it has a clean look and is very efficient for... the top of your head. Unless you are really sitting under it which is super hot it potentially misses a good amount of your hair. If you have long hair, pin your hair up that way it can be under the steamer. 

  
• The first time I used it I must have barely sat underneath it because the back and sides of my hair was dry.  
• The second time I used it, I must have put too much conditioner on because it did not feel different than a shower cap at all.
• The third time I used it I randomly steamed my super dry hair. This time my whole head was wet and moisturized. 
• The forth time i used it I sat all the way up so it can get to the back of my head and my sides, it worked, but not as well as the top of my head. It also hurts sitting all the way up. Steam can burn and the accumulation of the hood dripped in the middle of my head. OUCH! This time however the parts that have been getting throughly steamed the whole time... FELT GREAT!!! My hair was moisturized and I could tell my hair strands had moisture. When I used my leave in my hair smoothed down nicely. However, the back of my hair and sides was still not as "wet" or "steamed" as they should have been.
• Maybe my head is too big... -_-
• The next time I try this I'm going to open the vent ducts at the top and stick my head all the way in the steamer, or perhaps I will sit backwards and bend over, I don't know. I would like the rest of this great feeling all over my head. 

Conclusion!!!

If you have a small head and money to blow, treat yourself. But if not, do not buy it. This product is a luxury and not a necessity. I personally love it and I do not mind moving myself around to fit it, but if you don't want to work with it and wait for results, then don't buy it. If you have dry hair, and want to try something new, go for it. I think this will work well with protein treatments because they are so drying. 

Enhancing Deep Conditioner

So you are bored with your conditioner. it works well but you want to do something special with it. You want it to tingle. You want it to have more moisture. You wish it had some protein properties. You know what you can do? Just Mix It! Now you all know I have been ranting about Shea Moisture Deep Treatment masque forever. Shea Moisture is a great base product to mix other products in with it. it is very neutral. For a protein treatment I added some of a Palmer's protein pack to it. If I wanted it more moisturizing I mixes Jojoba Oil in it.  If I want more scalp stimulation I add peppermint and tea tree oil in it. You can use some of your deep conditioners and do the same thing!
