Afroveda Ashlii Amala Deep Conditioner and Herbal Cleansing Rinse.

Cost:
Herbal Cleansing Rinse 4oz, $12
Ashlii Amala Deep Conditioner 8oz, $21.95



Review

The verdicts
I will not be repurchasing the Cleansing Rinse because I can make my own for less. But this is still a good product for non ingredient mixtresses. 3/5 stars.

I will be repurchasing the Deep Conditioner. Sometimes you do get what you pay for and this is an example of that. But I will only buy it when there is a sale :). 5/5 stars.

Review

I really like this conditioner. It is very thick and pretty moisturizing. I also like how it comes in a tub so that you can get every little bit out. I do not like to waste product. Her ingredients are awesome, natural and pretty affordable.

You can now choose 4 different scents. I like the Coco Mango scent, but I wasn't feeling the Banana scent, it smells too fake to me.

Shescentit is very fast with shipping and responding to emails. When I stock up on her conditioners my order usually the ship out between 1-2 days. She runs sales almost every holiday, usually 20-25 percent off so this is a plus. She has many different conditioners at different prices so they can fit anyone's budget.

The verdict

4/5 stars. I really like this conditioner and its price. But I think that some of my other conditioners are a little bit better, like my AOHSR. I will always keep this stuff in my arsenal though. Make sure you wait for a sale which usually is every holiday, the next one is labor day :).

Qhemet Biologics Amla Oil Norishing Pomade



Ingredients

Vegetable thickener, ayurvedic amla, coconut oil, essential oil blend

Cost: 4oz $16

Review

This product is to be used like traditional hair grease. You can slick down your edges or grease your scalp. Also this can be used to thicken the hairline or to reverse hair loss due to the Ayurveda ingredients. I think that amla being so high on the ingredient is a plus. Most products that have amla in the product name usually have it farther down the ingredient list. However, since there are so few ingredients in the Amla Pomade, this may be deceiving.

The AONP was not heavy enough to slick down my edges. It has a nice lemony scent and a greasy consistency. It is kinda expensive, but only a little is needed for the scalp and hairline. I really did not know what to do with it, other then using it to grease my scalp or to seal my hair. But this Pomade is way too expensive to be sealing my hair with it, I have allot of hair.

The verdict

This stuff was alright. It did not blow me out of the water, but was not bad. Kinda expensive for 4 ounces but I have seen worse. 3/5 stars.

Steamer




Cost: $129 with free shipping from salonrus.com

Review

And to think I was spending so much money to find a staple deep conditioner, but in all actuality the steamer was the key to unlocking my conditioners' full potential! I still like to try new conditioners once in a while, but the steamer makes every product is use with it 10x better. Essentially the steamer will supercharge your conditioners. Products are better absorbed into my strands which leaves them much more manageable. Also it makes my hair much easier to detangle.

It is a good investment! I actually can use less conditioner when doing my DC's. I DC three times a week for about 30-60 minutes under my steamer and my hair has never felt so moisturized.

Salonrus.com is very timely with shipping. The day I ordered it they shipped it out. That is great customer service. The instructions are a little weird to put the steamer together. The picture of what it looks like helps allot though.

The verdict

This thing is a miracle. It is worth every dime, 5/5 stars.

Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner

Cost: 11oz $6.34 from vitaglo.com

Review

This stuff is so moisturizing. No matter how I use, it whether overnight with no heat, under my steamer, or under my Pibbs my hair is silky soft after I rinse it out. It has great ingredients and is 100% natural. It smells so good, I love the scent.


This is the thickest conditioner that I have ever encountered. I love thick creamy conditioners because I feel as though they coat my hair the best. It is so thick that when the bottle runs low it is difficult to get the remaining product out of the container. I find it necessary to cut the bottle in half to be able to scoop out the remaining product, hey I am trying to get my money's worth!

Aubrey Organics is a 100% natural product line that consists of hair and body products. Their products are readily available online and at brick and mortar stores such as Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe. So that is a plus as well.


The verdict

This is an awesome product! It will be a staple for life, therefore 5/5 stars!
