Review: Burt's Bees Avocado Pre-Poo Treatment & Yes To Carrots Conditioner & Nexxus Humectress Deep Conditioner


Avocado Butter Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment

I've read great things about this product so I went on a search, the product junkie in me want to try it. After Searching the city of Toronto for this treatment I finally got my hands on this product through an online source, www.well.ca. I made use of it after I took out my install on Monday.


This what the site says:
How it Works
Perming, coloring and styling can leave your hair looking dry and damaged. So give your hair a buttery boost. This treatment is a perfect once a week indulgence or daily ritual for hair that needs moisture infusion. Avocado, olive, almond and oat oils condition, nourish and hydrate from roots to ends. Nettle and rosemary extracts combine to leave your hair with a glossy shine, naturally.


How to Use It
Massage a generous amount (amount will depend on the length of your hair) of the treatment into wet hair and scalp, and comb through from your scalp to your hair's ends. Leave the treatment on your hair for at least 5 minutes and up to 20 minutes for maximum conditioning. Shampoo and rinse well. Use weekly.


Ingredients: glycerin, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, avena sativa (oat) kernel flour, persea gratissima (avocado) oil, limonene, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, lanolin, urtica dioica (nettle) leaf powder, quillaja saponaria (quillaja) bark extract, rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf extract, avena sativa (oat) kernel oil, chlorophyll, tocopherol, glycine soja (soybean) oil, parfum (fragrance), canola oil (huile de colza), linalool


Pros: this product smells and tastes yummy. that is all!


Cons: I had to use the entire tube to get my entire head of hair covered, and this product is very sticky. I don't think I would use this again after all the trouble it took to get the product in the first place the cost for what was in the tube somehow isn't worth it. I didn't notice a high gloss shine at the end as the product states.


FINAL VIEW: FAIL!


Yes To Carrots Conditioner


How to Use:
After shampooing, gently apply conditioner to your hair & scalp. Soothingly massage with your fingertips and leave in for 2-3 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and comb through your tantalizing tresses.


So I have used this one three times and I must say I am not a big fan, actually my hair is not a big fan, after leaving in and massaging for 3-5 minutes, even using this after a DC there was some slip but nothing to be excited about I had to follow up with my CON nourishing Traitment to get the slip through my length that makes me happy. I shouldn't have to use another conditioner to get some slip.


FINAL VIEW: FAIL




Nexxus Humectress Deep Conditioner


How to Use:
Apply to damp hair.  Comb through to distribute evenly from root to tip.  For deep conditioning, leave in for 3 to 5 minutes and rinse.  Use instead of regular conditioner once a week or more often if needed.


I have also used this product 3 times, the first 2 times just as is the last time (monday) mixed with olive, avocado, & EO. all three times I have used this product after my Black Tea rinse, and under the hooded dryer for 20-30mins. unfortunately it seems my hair does not like this product as it does the cholesterol treatments even with added oils I had to follow up with a regular conditioner, this time with the yes to carrots which didn't make it any better...hmmm


FINAL VIEW: FAIL!


Its safe to say I will not be buying these products again!
