Additional Essential Oils

Applicator Bottle

1. In a medium size bowl combine the honey, olive oil and any additional essential oil or carrier oils of your choosing and stir well. 
2. Gently warm the mixture then transfer to a applicator bottle for easy use. (May want to use a funnel for easy clean up)
3. Place large towel around shoulders.
4. Apply warm (not hot) mixture to damp hair before or after hair cleansing routine. Working mixture in sections from ends to roots. Detangle hair before in sections for easier usage. 
5. Place plastic cap over hair, making sure to cover any exposed hair.
6. Allow to let sit at least 20 mintues (without heat) or 10-15 mintues (with heat) (I used a hour without heat) 
7. Remove plastic cap and rinse using warm water. Continue with hair cleansing regimen or regular styling routine. 

This treatment is a easy deep treatment for healthier stronger and shiny hair. The use of honey and olive oil is a perfect combination for adding shine and moisture among other things back into the hair. Honey, a natural shine, humectant and strengthening agent. Olive oil, when used on the hair treats many things such as dandruff, frizz, dull hair, dryness etc. I loved using this treatment as a "Pre-Poo" (Pre Shampoo) treatment before Co-washing (Conditioner cleansing) my hair. My hair felt very soft and was easier to manage. Weeks after using this treatment I notice my hair was a lot stronger and I didn't have as much shedding or breakage as I did before. I highly recommend using this treatment at least 2 a month. PLEASE use an applicator bottle I didnt and it was a mess lol. 

Side Notes 

• This treatment can be thickened and made into a deep conditioner by adding in a heavy amount of raw sheabutter or any thick conditioner you have on hand. 
• I recommend using Coconut oil, Vitamin E, Teatree oil or Peppermint oil to this treatment to combat scalp issues or for addtional benifits.
• When rinsing make sure all of the treatment is flushed out with warm water. Honey makes the hair hard once it dries.

ORS Hair Mayonaise (Squeeze Tube) Review

 

Price Point $5.49-$7.49

This product is not a complete stranger to me, but I am new to using it in general. My mom use to use the old formula all the time. I remembered the smell the look and the thickness of it. I was a little weird about trying this since it was a NEW formula. I bought it any way and it set up in my product pile for two months before I actually used it. I waited until I really needed a good protein based deep conditioner I did my normal routine shampooed my hair using Taliah Waajid Total Body black earth shampoo. I section my hair off in detangled twists and applied the product from the back (nape) to the front area. Working the product in using the finger comb method. It was easy to use, thick and creamy like most deep conditioners I buy. One thing I didn't care for was the smell of this product. It wasn't a bad smell it just reminded me of Cool Water cologne that the old men use to wear back in the day with a hint of spice and mayo lol. Never the less I placed my plastic cap on my head and sat under ye' old hair dryer for 30 mins. I wanted to push this products abilities and left it on over night. Old man juice spray smell and all. I rinsed the very next day. My hair was very soft and conditioned. I give this hair mayo it props it's kinda nice. I honestly can't say if I would try this product again. It wasn't bad it just didn't rub me the right way for some reason. Maybe the old man juice spray smell did it. They changed this product from what I remembered as a child growing up. I will say it's worth a try. I ended up cleaning out my product stash and gave this away to my sister in law. She enjoyed this product it soften her hair after having her hair in braids for 2 and a half months. It's a great treatment to put back into the hair. It was worth a shot. No direct hard feelings, but I would give it a new scent.

ECOSTYLER GEL

I enjoyed watching this video. MahoganyCurls gave a great personal perspective on each individual gel, while listing additional information in the description box of this video. I'm a big fan of ECOSTYLER GEL, "Olive Oil" is my favorite out of the line of products. I came across this video while researching hair care products and yet again a "HOW TO WASH AND GO" video on Youtube(#I SUCK AT WASH AND GO'S). I'm glad I did click on the link to this video. I will be trying the "ARGAN OIL" BRAND FROM ECOSTYLER. Hopefully I'll be able to have more luck this time around doing a wash and go.
