Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer


Promises: Our moisturizer is enriched with pro-vitamins, natural proteins and healing butters that heal seal and nourish your hair and scalp. Beautiful hair requires a complete balance of moisture and protein to prevent breakage. This light cream moisturizer help to prevent split ends and strengthen hair from root to tip.



Directions: Apply a small amount to hair and scalp as needed. Style as desired.

Ingredients: Distilled water, Hydrogenated Persea gratissima (Avocado) Seed Oil, Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (and) Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Persea gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Emulsifying wax, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Paraben & Formaldehyde Free Preservative & Fragrance (Coconut Cream - CC).


The Truth: I decided to try this moisturizer out due to all the rave reviews it received on the net. I ultimately caved. After I purchased it and took approximately 3-4 weeks to arrive (not bad, however, it could have been quicker). I`ve been using this moisturizer on & off for the past 4-5 months and I can honestly say that I have a love/hate relationship with it :( At times, my hair would feel so moisturized and smooth, then when I apply it to my hair again, it`s just the opposite, hard dry hair plus breakage! I've used it on dry hair, damp hair, as a leave-in and as a moisturizer. After all of that, I've come to realize that this product works best for me as a moisturizer on semi damp hair. I think it`s best for locking in moisture, kind of like a mild-heavy sealant for the winter months. It`s unfortunate that this product did not agree with my hair. I really wanted to like it :(

Pros:
• Smells great. ( I got the Coconut Cream Scent)
• Nice shine.
• Light and creamy consistency
• Little goes a long way (product lasts long)

Cons:
• Quite pricey.
• Made my hair flat.
• Moisturized for a short period of time.
• Noticed breakage.

Chances are I would not purchase this product again, however, I haven't given up on the rest of the Bee Mine product line. I'm interested in trying the Deja Hair Milk. In fact, I placed an order a few days back, so it should be here soon!!

Price: $18.97 USD

Spatual + Relaxer = Sprush!

the Sprush
"... The Sprush applicator is used for closer to the scalp precision highlighting and offers substantial savings and many benefits over the use of bristle brushes."
(source)
Have you guys heard of this product? My sister recently introduced me to it and I thought I'd share it with you all. I must admit its quite interesting and different. I normally use a rat tail comb (instead of a brush) to apply my relaxers. It works well, however; the teeth tend to get stuck in my roots from time to time. Also, the teeth occasionally dig into my scalp which scares the HECK out of me as I fear relaxer burns!

Here are some of the product promises:
  • Allows for total control of the chemical relaxer, reducing application time by as much as one-half.
  • Less back and forth motion and overlapping of product on already processed hair.
  • Better smoothing without damage to the cuticle.
  • Slimness of applicator tip allows product to be placed closer to scalp without actually touching the scalp.
  • Great for sensitive scalps.
  • The Sprush can be wiped clean at station, with no rinsing necessary.

Out of curiosity, I ordered one (TC2040 Gold, $6), just to try it out for my next relaxer!


We'll see how it goes :)
