First Impressions || Herbal Essences Hello Hydration

So I was running out of my old conditioner that I bought before I researched natural hair products (Pantene Aqua Light). I was good for my hair but I felt like something out there could do better. So, I posted the question on my tumblr page (dezcurls.tumblr.com) and asked for suggestions on conditioners. I got some really good ones like the Trader Joes Tea Tree Tingle and Tresseme Naturals. The closest WholeFoods/TraderJoes is about an hour away and I couldn't find Tresseme Naturals at Sally's or Walgreens so I picked up HE Hello Hydration for like 3.99/10oz.


Okay so here we go. I did an ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) rinse on my hair and deep conditioned with my homemade Honey deep conditioner (Honey Deep Conditioner). So after rinsing it out, I used the Hello Hydration and LORD! The slip was like instant and just ... omg. I can't even. I love it. Rinsing it out was great and my hair felt soft afterwards. I'm not doing a full review until I've gone through at least half of the bottle so I'm not posting the ingredients or doing a rating for now. But so far, so good.

Honey Deep Condition Results!!

So first I clarified my hair with an ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) Rinse.
I use 1/4 cup of ACV to 3/4 cups of water.
Then I made the mix:
2 Tablespoons of Organic Honey (Trader Joes)
2 Tablespoons of Agave Nectar (Trader Joes)
2 Teaspoons of EVOO
2 Teaspoons of EVCO
1 Teaspoon of Jojoba Oil
I mixed them all together in a bowl and microwaved for 20 seconds and then let cool.
(Side note: You may need more if your hair is longer. Mine straightened slightly passes my collarbone)
After that, worked it through my hair, left it for 30 minutes, rinsed and then followed up with Pantene Aqua Light Weightless Conditioner, took a shower and then rinsed.

RESULTS!

It was great. My hair was shiny when it left it on and when I rinsed it out. I finger detangled and it was a breeze! Also, following up with conditioner gave my hair a lot of slip. I knew it was the DC because I don't get that feeling with just my normal conditioner. My curls were very defined and VERY shiny! 
Hasta!
