Root2Tip Review - Twists & Curls Pudding

The last of the goodies I received from Root2Tip -The Twists & Curls Pudding.

It's touted as a gel-creme formula which is good for setting natural curls, twists & for defining twistouts

Now I was really excited about getting this product. I was eager to see how it would do for a wash n go because y'all know I love me a wash n go.

I loved the ingredients and the thought of using a whipped texture product.

To really gauge a product, I try to use it solo dolo. 

So when I first used it, I co washed then applied a tad bit of avocado oil to seal my hair before using it. It says it is best to use with one of their leave ins which I think would go down better.

My wash n go was a fail. I think it was due to not using a leave in and using way too much of the pudding to compensate for the lack of leave in.

My hair was just greasy, I did way too much and I was disappointed.

Second time I used it with the Quench My Thirst to do a braid n curl. They work so well together! My hair was all yummy feeling for 2 weeks :) I got compliments on my hair as well.

I still wanted to see how it did by itself (kinda sorta) without a playmate from it's own company.

I used it on my last wash day. I used Nature's Gate Aloe Vera Conditioner as a leave in & sealed with Karen's Body Beautiful Heavenly Jojoba Oil. Styled with the Pudding on twists. It was suppose to be an immediate twist out but I didn't want to pull out the twists. My twists looked really good and felt moisturized. They got hella frizzy by the second day but whatever. 

I did a twist out on the fourth day until now. My hair is still soft.

Overall

It says to use a little and it's best that way. Too much is really too much. Hair will feel greasy and no bueno. It really helps to keep a style.. I have yet to do it in a wash n go so when I do, I'll post about it.

Would I purchase? Not sure. I need to try again for a WnG because I don't look for stylers to do twists or plaits. I really look for stylers to aid in my WnGs. I would buy off of how great my hair feels after not refreshing for days on end.

Root 2 Tip Review - Scalp Hydration Serum

                      £8.99 on Paks Website 

Hello Lovelies!

Here's my review of Root 2 Tip Scalp Hydration Serum.

It promotes hair growth and aids in relieving dandruff and eczema.

I was curious yet not that elated when I saw this product in my package. Reason being, I'm not one for oiling my scalp. Yes I have eczema and it greatly affects my scalp but I've found no significant help in doing it. Sometimes it tends to irritate it even more. So onto this serum,

The ingredients are lovely. 

It contains

-coconut oil

-castor oil

-sulfur

- rosemary

They seem like the perfect combination of scalp goodies if that makes sense to you. First time I used it, I used it after styling my freshly washed & styled hair. In the week, my scalp was itching me. I don't normally have that issue until 7 days in so I was concerned. After that I didn't use it on. Y whole scalp. It could be due to the coconut oil. As much as I love coconut oil for my hair, I've noticed that it irritates my scalp at moments. This was no different. I have used it a couple of hours before washing my hair as part of a prepoo and I like it best that way. It helps to loosen any flakes and feels as if it's stimulating my hair follicles. Could just be me.

Overall

I wouldn't purchase it due to the coconut oil bugging my scalp and because I'm not a scalp oiler (is that a word?) I know numerous people who have success with coconut oil on their scalps so those out there I would still recommend it. If coconut oil is not your scalp's friend, don't. This serum is also great for sealing in the winter due to the castor oil.

Root2Tip Review - Quench My Thirst

Hola :)

I was gifted with products courtesy of Root2Tip - a UK based natural hair care company.

(Thanks Sal! xx)

I've been using these three products for about a month or so now.

In today's post, I will be sharing my thoughts on the Hair Moisturiser Creme (Quench My Thirst)

For some reason, I can't find the Root2Tip website but they sell the products on Paks

retails for £7.49 on Paks

It contains organic shea, red palm fruit oil and coconut milk.

It's marketed as a moisturizer so I used it as a leave in conditioner. How does that make sense?

Well in my world, if it's suppose to moisturize my hair, I can use it as a leave in.

It looks thick and creamy but applying it feels light. So strange to me. Almost as if I wasn't applying anything. Probably due to my hair being more on the wet side. This would probably work better on damp hair. I trudged though and sealed with almond oil. 

The hold was medium as stated. Hair was amazingly soft. These pics are from the first time I used it.

I waited til I used it again to review it and I must say I love it.

My hair has been out and about in the wintery air and retained its moisture.

I've gone 2 weeks without redoing my hair because it hasn't been dry.

I'm curious to how it would hold up in South Florida's weather...

Anyways this is a great product and it's British! American brands tend to get the shine but over on this side of the pond has great products as well.

Overall

I would purchase this product.

The way my hair felt after a week was great! Just it and an oil.

Look out for the reviews on the other two products
