I guess part of this was due to my own ignorance, but still...the stylist was still pretty shitty. He bleached my hair. It was not the color I wanted, but I was so tired, I just wanted to go home. When he detangled my hair...it was in BALLS all over the floor. He was so rough, and blamed it on me not using a comb to my hair because I rather finger comb instead. My hair was left in shambles. I did not like the color. It was dry. and it was breaking of. bad!
This was months ago. Since my hair was parched I decided to just go ahead and buy some hair products to perhaps save it a little bit from complete destruction. After I cut off the damaged hair, I tested out these products, and let me tell you I am NOT big on buying hair products. I believe that shea butter works miracles, but that was before my hair got ratchet.
Sally's was having a sale. Buy 2 Get 1 Free. I noticed the eden bodyworks coconut shea products on the shelf and they peaked my interest for a few reasons. 1) I like coconut. I like how it smells. 2) I know coconut has the power to penetrate my hair shaft and provide maximum moisture. 3) They were a kinda-newish products. I like to try new things. 4) They were cheap. On sale. and 5) The beauty consultant, who I've known for years gave these products the thumbs up.
So yeah, I bought them! Her's my honest review of these products~
The coconut she aline comes with more than just these 3 products. I'm sure there's and I personally didn't buy the other products because I had no use for them. You can visit their website to check out entire line.
The packaging is pretty solid. I like that I can see what I'm getting.
The Cleansing Co-Wash
The cleansing condition smelled lovely. Very strong coconut scent! I didn't like how this product was packed in a jar though. A jar! Conditioner! IN. A. JAR! That means that I have to manually dig my hands and grab a scoop with my fingers while I'm in the shower. Ugh. Somebody please tell the Eden Works folks that this is not a proper packaging design for a conditioner.
The label advertises the words 'sulfate free', Ummmm? That's great. What natural likes sulfates? None. BUT, when talking about sulfates, no one looks for them in conditioners, because most conditioners don't even contain sulfates in the first place. So...to me, they're just trying to use buzz words. Gimmicky if you ask me.
Anyways, let me stop being so picky and review the actual product. The cowash felt legit, like a conditioner should feel. After washing my hair, I did not get the results I wanted. My hair felt okay. I did not notice it being an cleaner or any more moisturized. I would not buy this product again. I feel like I'm better off using a regular conditioner for my co-washes.
The Souffle
I was told the souffle doubled as a good moisturizer. That;s why I bought it, for my dry hair. The souffle has the same strong coconut scent as the cowash. It is very fluffy, light and airy. The souffle doe snot build up, leaves my hair feeling great and it does not leave behind any residue despite it's creamy texture. MY hair absorbs it right up, and is lasting. I would recommend this to not just naturals, but any one with dry hair of any texture.
The Leave-in
