Truth: Let me start off by saying this!
I've never been a fan of hair milks - AT ALL!! I've tried my hardest to love them but they never loved me back. I mean, hair milks (no matter the brand) always made my hair feel great after the first application; however, hours later my hair is a dry crispy mess! I'm happy to say, things have changed since.
Some how, I ended up trying the Creme of Nature Argan Oil Buttermilk Leave-in Hair Milk and my outlook on hair milks have drastically changed! Though it's targeted for naturals, its been working for my relaxed 4b/c hair.
For the past year, I've been using CON Buttermilk Leave-in Hair Milk as the last step in my wash day hair process and I haven't been disappointed. It easily detangles, moisturizes and controls frizz. I love the fact that it has a few of my favourite ingredients i.e. glycerin, polyquaternium-37, panthenol etc. It doesn't have parabens or mineral oil. I've used it on dry hair as a "test" moisturizer it did the job pretty well as the creamy light weight consistency absorbed into my strands nicely. Too, I find that it works best on slightly damp hair or even as the "cream" step in the LOC/LCO method. It gives my braid-outs the right "hang" along with shine and definition. Since I've incorporated CON Buttermilk Leave-in Hair Milk into my regimen, my results have been consistent making it a staple in my regimen and my hair is happy!
Pros:
- Light scent
- Slip with detangling abilities
- Softening
- Inexpensive
- Moisturizing
- Smoothes the hair
- Can build up on the scalp if used near roots

Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Ultra-Moisturizing Shampoo - For Dehydrated Hair
Promises: Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Ultra-Moisturizing Shampoo is enriched with certified natural mango and shea butter. This formula gently cleanses and conditions while infusing dehydrated hair with moisture.
Directions:
Wet hair. Apply shampoo and work into lather. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat. Next, condition with Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Ultra-Moisturizing conditioner.
Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocamide DIPA, Parfum (Fragrance), Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Ployquaternium-10, Glycol Distearate, Glycol Stearate, Amodimethicone, Glycerin, Isostearyl Ethylimidazolinium Ethosulfate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Citric Acid, Propylene Glycol, Limonene Linalool, Citral, Benzyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Sodium Benzoate, Ethylparaben, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), red 4 (CI 14700)
*Mango & Shea Butter are certified natural ingredients
Truth: The enticing titles "Ultra-Moisturizing" & "For Dehydrated Hair" captured my attention to want to try this shampoo for my high porosity relaxed 4b/c hair. After many washes with this shampoo I can actually say that it's very moisturizing and slippy despite having two surfactants (i.e. Sodium Laureth Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine) in the ingredients. Though it does contain "Amodimethicone", a non-water soluble silicone, further down in the ingredient list there are two surfactants present in the ingredients. With the presence of surfactants, the "Amodimethicone" will not stay deposited on the hair. I love the fact that the shampoo is opaque in colour with an orange glossy appearance, not to mention it smells very fruity/tropical. The triple dosage of Mango Seed Butter, Shea Oil and Shea Butter really help to intensify the conditioning effect in the shampoo making my hair feel so soft and conditioned.
Pros:
- Fruity Tropical Scent
- Slip while rinsing out the shampoo
- Detangling abilities
- Conditioning
- Contains silicone
- Two surfactants

(4/5) Very Good 
Promises: Pamper your hair with Creme of Nature Ultra-Moisturizing Conditioner with certified natural Mango and Shea Butter. This formula deeply moisturizes and softens hair while adding shine.
Directions: After shampooing with Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Ultra-Moisturizing shampoo, apply a generous amount to hair and comb through for even distribution. Rinse then style. For deeper conditioning, after applying conditioner, proceed with hair steaming or sit under hooded dryer with plastic cap for 5-10 minutes.
Ingredients: Aqua, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Behentrimonium Chloride, Amodimethicone, Parfume (Fragrance), Mangifera Indica (Mango) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Olea Europe (Olive) Fruit Oil, Phenyl Trimethicone, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Helianthus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa Kernal Oil, Panthenol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth-12, Cera Alba (Beeswax (Cire D'abeille)), Citric Acid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Benzyl Alcohol, Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Yellow 6 (CI 15985), Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Red 4 (CI 14700)
*Mango & Shea Butter are certified natural ingredients
Truth: I've used this conditioner as a deep conditioner with and without oils for 20-30 mins using heat many times. Both methods worked out good. It spreads and penetrates easily into my strands making my hair feel soft. It has the same tropical fruity scent as the conditioner (this may bother some who are sensitive to scented products). Now, here's the part that disappoints me... I always look for the "moisture" and "slip" factor in a DC and this conditioner has fallen short - unfortunately. Slip is important as it helps me detangle my hair while in and out of the shower, without the use of heavy manipulation on my hair. With this conditioner, the slip factor is just not there for me!
Pros:
Price: $4.99 CAD 12 Fl. Oz.

(3/5) Okay My First Impression: Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner + Acai Berry & Keratin Shampoo
Creme Of Nature Tuesday, October 11, 2016
I grabbed these new Creme of Nature products at the Beauty Supply Store a couple weekends ago. If you know me by now, I am a Creme of Nature fan plus they were extremely affordable! I've tried each product, however, I cannot provide my full review as I haven't used each product long enough. But here is my first impression so far:
Creme of Nature Acai Berry & Keratin Strengthening Shampoo - For Dry, Damaged Hair - $4.99 CAD
I always wanted a strengthening shampoo and this shampoo stood out to me! The acai berry ingredient serves to prevent damage and the keratin amino acids aid in hair repair. The shampoo is an opaque pearlized purple colour and smells like tropical grape fruit juice - no lie! It's so delish the scent does not leave your hair for days :) To be honest, I have never seen purple shampoo before so that alone was fascinating to me lol! I don't need much product for it to lather and it rinses out easily. Though there is a mild sulfate in the Shampoo (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), my hair remained moist and felt durable after rinsing it out.
Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Ultra- Moisturizing Conditioner - For Dehydrated Hair - $4.99 CAD
This conditioner can be used as an instant conditioner or as a deep conditioner with heat for 10 mins+. The conditioner is orange in colour yet semi thick in consistency. The conditioner has the exact same tropical scent as the shampoo. It's truly heaven! I've been using it with heat under my steamer for 20-25 mins. The conditioner spreads easily onto my hair - no issues there! So far I find the conditioner softens my new growth and hair pretty well. Unfortunately there's not much slip while rinsing out the conditioner.
Creme of Nature Mango & Shea Butter Ultra-Moisturizing Shampoo - For Dehydrated Hair - $4.99 CAD
This shampoo states that it is enriched with certified natural mango and shea butter. The mango ingredient serves to condition and protect the hair while the shea butter will moisturize and soften the hair. It also has Olive oil and Shea Oil. The shampoo is an opaque pearlized orange colour plus it smells amazing!! It has a prominent tropical fruity scent that lingers in your hair. It lathers well and rinses out great. Though there is a mild sulfate in the shampoo (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), I find the shampoo is highly moisturizing, slippy and detangling while I rinse it out. It kinda reminds me of the CON Argan Oil Shampoo that I adore.
So, I will continue to test these products out on wash day and see how my hair reacts overtime :)
Have you tried any of these new products by Creme of Nature? If so, how does your hair like them?
