Truth: 

Shampoo: The shampoo is very creamy and non-stripping despite it containing sulfates. I did a Coconut oil pre-poo treatment prior to shampooing to prevent the possibility of the natural oils being stripped from my hair. The shampoo had a slight detangling effect and it rinsed out easily!

Conditioner: Has a thick creamy consistency that easily evaporates into the hair. I let the conditioner sit in my hair for approximately 15-20 minutes without heat. While rinsing, my hair felt extremely smooth and soft.

Styling Cream:  After I t-shirt dried, I applied the Styling Cream all over my damp hair, mainly focusing on my ends. This product has great slip and coverage. A little goes a long way and it smells wonderful - not over-powering! My hair was extremely smooth, bouncy and full of shine and I think this product was the reason why. The products made my hair extremely smooth and sleek surpassing the promised 8 hour mark. I couldn't get over how silky my hair felt!!!

Edge Sleeker: Love the packaging! The mascara wand is so creative & unique. I got great frizz control for my edges when using this product.

I'm currently 8 weeks post relaxer. I'll be stretching until mid June 2014, so a total of 3 months. I just finished blow drying and flat ironing my hair. I rarely use heat, but this Dark and Lovely Anti-Reversion line is wonderful! The 8 hour smooth control technology holds up to it's promises!!!

Also, I recently trimmed my ends to start the Hairlista Inc. Coconut Oil Challenge with a fresh start. Unfortunately, my hair is shedding a lot, so I'm hoping the Coconut Oil Challenge will help eliminate that. I'll keep you posted :)

Using a reliable heat source while on your hair journey is extremely important to ensure maximum penetration of your deep conditioner.  Heat aids in lifting the hair cuticle so that the deep conditioner can enter past the cuticle to correct & prevent damage.

While on Hairlista.com, this topic was brought up. A member was uncertain as to whether or not she should invest in a hooded dryer or steamer. The concept of "dry" heat vs. "moist" heat, came to mind. Dry heat comes from hooded dryers and moist heat comes from hair steamers. Dry heat is great for deep conditioning treatments as the hair gets really hot (under the conditioning cap) allowing the conditioner to penetrate the hair shaft. However, some say it can dehydrate the hair. Moist heat (means there is more moisture in the air) from hair steamers draw moisture into the hair from the steam vapours which aid in hydrating the hair and increasing conditioner penetration. I'm curious to know which tool provides the best conditioning experience for your hair.

Question:

"Which do you prefer? Hooded dryer or a Steamer? "
"Do you think there is a difference between "Dry" heat and "Moist" heat?"
