But now, I'm happy to report that the past is truly the past. Things have changed. The smell is now very pleasant. Kind of coconut/tropic/flower. It is a nice smell to leave on the hair. The lingering smell is predominantly that of coconut.
I bought the ginormous size Moist Conditioner from Wal-Mart when I was home for Thanksgiving. So many naturals have confidence in this product, I know if nothing else, I can use it to detangle. If that doesn't work out, I'll use it for the next time I do a henna treatment. Herbal Essences works well for me, and many people who prefer Aussie do so over Herbal Essences...so it can be deduced that often times they've usually used both and had success with both, but like the results of Aussie more. I haven't opened the bottle yet. I gave away two bottles of conditioner so that I can get to it faster!
As for the3 Minute Miracle Deeeeep Conditioner...I cracked it right away. So that brings me to the one warning I do have about this product-the packaging. It is a squeeze bottle with no removeable cap of any kind...it has an opening that remains closed unless pressure is applied...so be careful packing it in luggage or gym bags or even getting it home from the store if the seal has been removed (which if it has, you shouldn't buy it...just sayin'...) I've not deep conditioned with it (I just can't follow directions). I've been using it as a leave in. I henna'd, co-washed, and flat twisted my hair using the LOC (liquid, oil, cream) moisture method. I usually use conditioners as a liquid if water is their first ingredient. I added my lovely African Pride Olive Miracle oil over the conditioner, and sealed with some of my new friend, grease. I used the Softee Indian Hemp scent b/c it mixed well with the conditioner and oil. I smelled bomb!!!!!! Even more bomb was the definition, shine, manageability, strength, moisture, and overall look and feel of my twist out. My hair looked good ya'll.
Well, I teach hot yoga as one of my gigs so I had to sweat it out a bit...and the Chicago wind got to my hair...so I retwisted last night. I mixed Aloe juice and a little more of the 3 Minute Miracle into a bottle for a spritz. I sealed my ends with a tiny bit of grease and my hair today was even more shiny and defined. This conditioner is a keeper as one of my stylers.
I do realize that products are less than half the battle. It's about consistency with your regimen. When leaving conditioner in...there are still requirements for it to become part of the regimen...first on my list is making sure it won't dry WHITE in my hair...then moisture. LOL...if something leaves your hair dry and white...it makes for a horrible and humiliating day. You don't want to find out that the conditioner ain't working on your way to work after doing a wet hair bun or removing twists. UGHHHH!!
After sweating and wearing my hair out twice...it's time to deep condition and get those flat twists back in until there is an event worthy of removing them. Aussie...you're a great thing. I highly recommend giving this available, inexpensive, and wonderful product a try.
As always, there's much more to come.
Smoochies,
