March Product Empties

Hey peeps! I've been gone for a minute, but I'm back with the jumpoff. Between traveling, flu like symptoms and my school semester starting again I've been running around a lot lately, but I haven't deserted blogging. Now that I'm able to sit down in front of the computer let me give you the 411 on my March empties. 
This is one of my favorites and I will be buying this over and over, I'm actually a little sad that this ran out. I picked this up at my local beauty supply store for $6.99 I had this for about 3-4 months and I was so impressed that this little 4.23 fl oz bottle lasted so long. Creme Of Nature Perfect 7-N-1 Treatment is great for relaxed, texlaxed, and natural hair. According to the bottle you're supposed to spray it onto damp hair, but I've sprayed this on damp hair, dry hair, blown out hair and even as a refresher, I haven't had any issues or problems. I will say that a little goes an EXTREMELY long way and if you mistakenly put too much on your hair it'll feel weighed down and greasy. I suggest spraying some in the palm of your hand first and then applying it to your hand because the consistency is thick and creamy making it a bit difficult to spray out the nozzle. 
The Perfect 7 Leave-in has seven key features:
  1. Detangles & Conditions
  2. Heat Protection
  3. Breakage Defense
  4. Controls Frizz
  5. Moisturizes Dry Hair
  6. Prevent Split Ends
  7. Adds Exotic Shine
I have a product review up for this already, HairVeda Review. If you've already peeped the review you'd know that I'm not really feeling this deep conditioner so I won't be repurchasing this again. To be quite honest I'm a little upset this was $17.99, but I digress. This product smells divine and I loved the consistency, but I just couldn't get with the conditioner as a whole. I didn't feel that my hair was moisturized on the contrary my hair felt a little dry. I had to follow up with a cheapy cowash to give my hair back the snap it lacked. 
Some of the ingredients are:
  • Water, your hair's #1 moisturizer.
  • Coconut oil, hydrates and protects while adding curl definition.
  • Castor oil, is filled with essential nutrients like vitamin E, amino acids, and omega-6 fatty acids, it can help you to put a stop to split ends and breakage.
  • Glycerin, a great humectant aiding in moisture.
  • You can pick this up at/on:
  • Ecodermis and Wolfberry (N.Y.C. curlies)
  • hairveda.com
 OMG! I love this stuff and I'm so upset I didn't put up more, silly me. I picked this up at Walmart Supercenter in Fulton, NY for $3.29 when I went to visit Babe for his b-day. I heard great reviews about this, but couldn't find in anywhere in the city and my Walmart is waaay too far to visit just for some conditioner so when I went to visit him and I saw it in Walmart I was too hype. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or if it was remotely the same as the regular Aussie 3 Minute Miracle so I figured I'd try one and if I like it I'd get another, right? I didn't anticipate on LOVING it. I finished this in like two weeks and I was so upset this baby has slip for days! A major reason why I love this is because it is not like the regular 3 Minute Miracle you will feel a difference in the strength of your hair.
As opposed to the regular 3 Minute Miracle the 3 Minute Miracle Strong has a new ingredient
  • Clover, (Possibly Red Clover), helps restore hair and scalp balance. As well as hydrates and stimulates the scalp for optimum hair growth.
You can pick this up at:
  • Walmart stores
  • Walmart.com
  • Amazon.com
 I have a very thorough review/demo of this in my Wash Day W/ Tahitian Noni & Monoi Pre-poo review. I'm not sure if I'll be picking this up again at Target maybe if it goes on a BOGO sale again, but $9.99 for 4 fl oz is a stretch. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but I'm iffy about picking it up again. I only got about 3, maybe 4 uses of of this and I wasn't thrilled about it. I really wish Shea Moisture would put this into an 8 oz bottle, preferably with a pump, but I'll take what I can get.

I like this I really do, but I don't love it. I prefer this as a leave in as opposed to a rinse out or co-wash conditioner. I picked this up with Babe at Target for $9.99 while it was on sale. I enjoyed it so much that I picked up the Deep Treatment Masque also from the Raw Shea Butter collection to see how the two worked in conjunction with each other. Eh, I'm sorta kinda feeling it, but I have a more in dept review to be post shortly. The consistency of this is very creamy, but not too thick. This conditioner has slip and provides moisture for days a little does goes a long way. The smell is a bit too perfumed for my palette, but it's not overbearing unless you're using the whole Raw Shea Butter collection together.  I'm so happy that Shea Moisture now upped this from 12 fl oz to 13 fl oz and it has pump! Even if I didn't care for the conditioner I will happily keep the bottle to put other conditioner into once it's empty.
 Some of the ingredients include:
  • Water, your hair's #1 moisturizer.
  • Shea Butter, deeply moisturizes while conditioning your hair and scalp.
  • Argan Oil, Restores while helping promote hair elasticity.
  • Sea Kelp, Mineral rich nutrition seals and smoothes your hair cuticle.
  • Panthenol, coveted for moisturizing, thickening, and boosting hair's body quotient.
You can pick this up at/on:
  • Target.com
  • Target Stores
  • Walgreens Stores
  • Your local beauty supply store
