Wow, it's been a really long time since I've posted anything! Well, I finished this product and I saw it sitting on my counter in its pretty little bottle, and I thought, "You know, I should do a product review!" So I am.
So to start off, I don't normally use a detangler because I remember using one as a little girl and, you know, I'm too "mature" for that kind of nonsense now, haha. But then I was helping my grandma babysit my cousin, and her parents and my grandma used a detangler on her hair all the time because it's just so dang difficult to brush through without one! So then I started thinking about getting one for myself because it smelled so good. Of course, the only kind they talked about was by Suave for kids, and I didn't know if I wanted to go around smelling like I was five.
Right around the time I was seriously considering giving in and just buying the kid stuff, I was meandering down the hair products aisle and saw that Herbal Essences styling products were on sale! And they had a detangler! And to top it all off, the detangler was specifically targeted at those of us cursed with curls.
I don't buy products because they say they're for a specific hair type. If I want something, I'm going to get it. But I found it interesting that it was in the Totally Twisted line of hair products. It makes sense, though, because curly hair is naturally drier and rougher. The cuticles are more raised and they act kind of like Velcro and become very easy to tangle. Enter: the need for a detangler.
The initial reaction I had with the first spritz was: THIS STUFF SMELLS AMAZING!!! On the back it labels the fragrance as "Tropical Mystique". Very sultry sounding. Makes you want to just hop on the next flight to Hawaii and let your curls run free!
After finishing a whole bottle, I can say that I am very pleased with the product. It makes my wide-tooth comb run through my wet hair very easily and even acts as a sort of leave-in conditioner. The French translation for "detangler" on the bottle is "démêlant" which is the word I learned for conditioner, so "curl silkening" may be the way they decided to cryptically call this a leave-in conditioner.
So if you have curly hair, I strongly recommend trying this product. I really like it. Also, I read that curly hair is in for spring, so we don't have to try so hard in taming it! All we have to do is keep those pesky little frizzies in check and we're good to go. Yay us!
I hope each day is beautiful and that your spirit keeps on soaring. Don't let life drag you down so that your inner beauty is kept from shining for the rest of us to see.
