Review (5/5): Miracle in a bottle...pouch!!
I have relaxed hair that was damaged and breaking, you know, the usual struggles of relaxed hair. =_= So I decided to try one of these. And it is amazing!!
The instructions are easy to follow (but I was nervous about it so I went and watched a TON of youtube tutorials haha) and I went ahead and did one myself! My hair is smooth, soft, stronger, and actually is easier to comb! The packet says to do it every 6 weeks and I will do just that.
Here are the steps: 1. Put in protein (I used a spray bottle). 2. Comb through. 3. Dry to harden. (I used a blow dryer). DO NOT TOUCH YOUR HAIR, IT WILL BE AS HARD AS TREE BARK. 4. Rise out protein with warm water. 5. Put in moisturizer, leave in for 2 minutes covered. 6. Wash that out. 5. Done! Style or deep condition, your choice!
The smell of the protein is abysmal. Smells like eggs and feet lol but hey, you're gonna wash it out anyway so what does it matter? But the moisturizer smells wonderful and is REALLY, REALLY moisturizing! I still deep conditioned afterwards with some Shea Moisture stuff though.
Am I still seeing breakage? Yea, I am. I'm still shedding and breaking at times but it is significantly less than before! And I think it will only get better the longer I use protein. Not bad for just 1 treatment! My hair is already night and day!
Overall, very VERY happy with this purchase and will definitely use again! If you're nervous about protein look at some Youtube tutorials about how to put them in. It's very easy!
I bought these from Sally's. I have hair to under my bra strap and surprisingly 1 pouch was enough for me. I bought 2 but I even had a tiny bit of both the protein and moisturizer left over! But I used every bit of it cause I didn't wanna waste my money lol .
