So my homie Jadorevastia, a Youtube Vlogger, recently did a review on ORS Olive Oil Replenishing Pack and I instantly felt a blast from my relaxer day past, I had to pick some up at my local beauty supply store for $1.49. I was hesitant to pick up a 8 oz. bottle though, I haven't used this since I was relaxing my hair. I had my last relaxer in August 2011. I couldn't be sure that the Replenishing Pack would work well with my natural hair like it did with my relaxed hair. Then I ran into another dilemma, I only picked up one pack and I didn't have enough of it to really coat my hair like I enjoy doing with my deep conditioners so instead I added some of my oils and used it as a pre-poo.
The ingredients for the Replenishing Pack are:
- Soybean oil, is rich in Vitamin E which is a lipid and an antioxidant. It helps keep the cell membrane intact. This ensures that the cell membrane and skin act as barrier to harmful toxins and air particals.
- Olive oil, can improve the blood circulation in your scalp. This increased blood flow can stimulate the follicles.
- Orange oil, is a great for healing scalps with bacterial infections and fungal infections.
- Sage extract, is beneficial for controlling dandruff and treating hair loss.
My oil blend consists of:
- Coconut oil
- Peppermint oil
- Jojoba oil
- Avocado oil
- Vegetable Glycerin
Once applied my hair was instantly softened and full of shine. I didn't even make an attempt to detangle at this point I just slapped it on and let it marinate for about an hour with a plastic bag on my hair. I co-washed in the shower with Eden Body Works Coconut Shea Cleansing Cowash (I have a review here) and I detangled with Herbal Essences Hello Hydration.
Once thoroughly rinsed out I began deep conditioning with a fairly new product, Carol's Daughter Sacred Tiare Restoring Hair Mask I picked up an 8 oz. container for $15.00 at my local Target. For me the price was a bit steep for a deep conditioner, but I went out on a limb and picked it up.
This product has NO:
- Parabens
- Petroleum
- Mineral oil
- Artificial colors
The ingredients are:
- Coconut oil, is able to bind to the natural protein structure of the hair. This helps the hair retain its natural moisture content and reinforces the hair fiber, making it stronger.
- Shea Butter, deeply moisturizes while conditioning your hair and scalp.
- Panthenol, is essential for the strength, shine and health of your hair.
- Hydrolyzed Silk, adds luster, body and manageability to your hair.
Once I applied it I to my hair I notice that initially the conditioner just sat on hair and I was a bit apprehensive. Normally conditioners in my hair melt right in and I'm not hesitant about how the product will work with my hair, but this one was different it was unsettling it just sat there. I held out hope though and left it on overnight and the washed it out the next morning. Once I rinsed it out the following morning my hair was soooo soft and manageable, I love it! My next post will be on how I styled my hair in the following days after I washed and dc'd it.
