Reviews

Awesome

"My hair feels amazing. Hydrated but not weighed down. Definitely takes a minute to rinse out, but it also makes detangling a breeze. Smells nice but not overwhelming. Works well with the honey creme line."

— Carmela B. (5/5)

This is an initial review.

"This is an initial review. I Love this pre-poo! Love the smell of the whole line and the consistency is a bit runny, so I applied with gloves. Just a tip, make sure you fully detangle prior to applying because it does not provide slip. I chose to sit with heat for 30 minutes and when I removed my cap, my hair looked so shiny and moisturized and I had placed my hair in twists after coating each section and my twists were plump. My hair drunk this herbal mask. The next time I use this I am going to apply without gloves because I want to feel what my hair feels like. Out of the whole system this by far was my favorite. I would definitely repurchase this."

I love this pre wash but something xhanged in the

"I just ordered 3 jars after previously finding it in store and falling in love with the results it gave. However the appearance looks different from my previous jar. Im wondering if there has been a change in the ingredients."

— Tierra T. (4/5)

Moisturizing with strength but the smell is awful

"The worst smelling product I have ever smelled in my life. Smells like when your on a road trip and there aren't very many hotel opinions available and you have to settle for a motel that only has one room left and when you enter the room it smells like people have been smoking in there. It smells like an old crusty cigarette filled motel room. I am not even exaggeration"

— Chantell H. (4/5)
