 Product Summary: This coconut infused cream stretches any style, it elongates curls without compromising definition, while coconut oil delivers shine and moisture. The soft, velvety texture gives the moisture of a cream with the hold of a gel, without the crunch. Costs: $30.  How to use:  You can either apply into clean wet hair in a downward motion. Don't scrunch! Or apply on wet hair in sections, style and unravel once dry.  *** Cruelty free*** I had high hopes for this product. I have very thick wavy hair that without any products or styling with heat it looks like a huge frizzy mess. I have used hair mousse in the past and had great success with them so I figured I'd get the same results. The first time I tried this product out my hair was a hot mess. I put too much product and my hair had this crunchy/wet texture that I couldn't stand. I normally wash my hair once a week but using this product I had to wash my hair within two days, it was that awful.  Even...

Directions: After using shampoo and conditioner, apply on wet hair concentrating on mid-length and ends. Use once a week. Costs around $5.   ***Not cruelty free*** For some reason I am unable to find what LAK1000 means on their website or anywhere else. And I can't seem to find much information on this product either. Maybe this product never flew off the shelves but it would explain why I was able to snag a few of these for just a dollar.   It comes to no surprise that I constantly colour and curl my hair, with that I need to use hair products that can deeply nourish and repair my damaged hair. I have long thick hair so this one tube only lasted after one use. Luckily I was able to snag a few of these to really test them out.  After just a couple of uses I can visibly see a difference in my hair. The ends...

They go out of their way to say they do not test on animals but where it is legally required to test on animals to sell in that country they will do so. From that alone they should stop saying they are cruelty free. That's total bullshit.*** My go to hairstyle to have is curls/waves. I have long hair and doing curls makes it look really nice plus it compliments my face. The downside of loving curls but having long, thick hair means that the curls barely last a few hours be...

So, I need to keep the colour long-lasting and moisturize my hair so it doesn't become weak from the bleach. I have really long, thick hair and I was worried I had to go through this product quickly but it is lasting quite a while.  One thing I highly recommend is if you are thinking you are using too much then you are! I did the mistake of using too much and my roots en...
