The Truth: I'm pretty impressed with this conditioner to be honest. For the price, you get a whole-lot of conditioner which is always a plus in my books along with great results. In the photo above, I added a Aussie Moist pump to the bottle just for convenience..lol. I wish it came with one though. Anyways, it has a pleasant scent....very refreshing yet sweet. It sort of reminds me of candy. The texture is great. It glides very easily onto the hair. It's not too thick not too thin with a light orange tint. The ingredients aren't top notch but it does condition and soften the hair. Plus, I'm not sure of how the hair can absorb vitamins (marketing?). I think it's best to ingest them rather than putting them on the hair.

I've tried this product on dry hair first and on damp hair after shampooing. I prefer using it on freshly shampoo'd hair. I would normally leave this deep conditioner on for 20-30mins with heat. When rinsing it out, I felt loads of slip and instant hydration, which is very good while stretching your relaxer. The slip lasts until you air dry so it's very easy to comb & detangle your hair. Once my hair was air drying, it felt soft, very smooth, manageable, slightly stronger and conditioned! Even though there's protein in this conditioner i.e. Hydrolyzed Soybean Protein, Soybean Protein, etc., you don't feel the stiffness or hard hair feeling. It's truly more on the moisturizing side than on the protein side.

Tips: Use once a week as a deep conditioner with heat for 20-30mins after shampooing to increase moisture level and strength.

Question:

"I need some personal advice. What relaxer do you use/ recommend? ORS or Motions. This is my first self-relaxer and my mom is doing it. I'm getting a lot of mixed reviews about both, so I'm not sure. Have you used any one of these relaxer, and if so how did it work for you ? thanks :)"

Advice: Yes I've used both throughout my hair journey and here is my honest opinion on both relaxers based on my hair type 4b/c.

Motions Hair Relaxer (Lye)

Pros:

• Leaves a bit of kink in the hair so your not completely bone straight
• Hair feels smooth and silky
• Hair is not over-processed or under-processed
• No Breakage
  

Cons:

• More likely to burn
• Processes the hair quick
• Lacks body
  

Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Relaxer (Lye)

Pros:

• Mild
• Leaves some kink/texture in the hair
• Does not burn
• Hair is smooth, soft and silky
• Processes the hair slowly
• More body & volume
• No Breakage
  

Cons:

• If you don't smooth the new growth enough you can be left with under-processed hair
  

Overall: I prefer the ORS Olive Oil relaxer. I've been using it for almost 2 years now. I loved it since the first time I used it and with continued usage I've noticed a difference in my hair overtime i.e. thickness, strength etc. Based on what my sister says, she found ORS Olive Oil relaxer way too strong (she's a 4a/b hair type). It processed her hair fast and left it pretty straight (straighter than she'd like). So it pretty much all depends on your hair type. That just goes to show that everyone's hair is different and my review is just a guideline. Hope it helps☺

A few people asked me to do a mini review on my fav. hot tools. Here are 2 videos explaining why I love and use the CHI Rocket Blow Dryer and CHI Pink Camo Flat Iron. I got both of these tools as a present last year, however, they can be purchased at folica.com. The videos are kinda choppy since I decided to separate them - Sorry.

Enjoy~
