The Truth: To be honest, this moisturizer didn't impress me much. I really tried to like it, but for some reason it never really penetrated or moisturized my hair. I tried it on freshly relaxed hair, but my hair started to clump together over time. I guess it's because it's so thick. Sometimes I would notice tiny broken hairs while applying it on my hair because of the thickness of the lotion. It also leaves behind a white residue when I rub it in. I tried it on air dried hair, but my hair was never really moisturized.
On the plus side, this moisturizer worked very well on wet hair, it was very smooth and soft. Overall, I discovered that oil based moisturizers don't work well on my hair. I will not be repurchasing.
Price: $13 CAD

Thanks for the review..I have heard good things about this, but haven't tried it because I'm not that impressed with the ingredients. I'll save my money!

Thanks for the tip! Won't be trying this one :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. Like you, oil based moisturizers don't work on my hair either. Since everything you've recommended so far works for my hair as well, I too will save my money.
ReplyDeleteI used this while wearing micro braids and it was great for a moisturizer because my hair felt like butter when I took my braids down. I guess it was the continuous use of it. However, I do think it is to thick to apply straight to dry hair. I also tried it on my natural hair when wet and it worked out pretty well, but it still didn't feel that moisturizing to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input ladies. I too was very disappointed. It is great on wet hair but that is about it. What a waste.LOL
ReplyDeleteI didn't like this product. I bought it for my daughter's hair. It made her break out.
ReplyDeleteI too have tried the product and did not see the benefits. It actually made my hair feel waxy. I don't think I will try this product again. Thanks for the review! DB
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't recommend this product either. I bought a large bottle thinking it would be great because I heard such good things about it, now im stuck with it!!
ReplyDeleteIt is thick, which is why she also has the dew moisturizer, which is a lighter spray. I think her products work best as a system, and if you read her book and follow the instructions on how to use the products...
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I tried the UBH DC and initially, I was excited about it. I got clumping (as well) and my hair was stuck to head. I was pissed. I think her products work better as a system as well. I will not use her products again. Too harsh for my strands.
ReplyDeleteI too have tried the UBH DC and I had the same experience after using it.....like tonight (a dumb idea gone bad)However, I normally use a moisturizing conditioner afterwards because it is a protein based dc. I like the deep conditioner. As for the moisturizer....cream version...I haven't noticed anything of the opposite. Every other nite I use the cream moisturizer and seal with my oils. I'll pay closer attention :)
