My Hair:
It’s no secret that I’m still trying to get my hair back to full restoration in a post-bleaching world. My hair ranges from 3A-3C depending on the season, and right now it’s in need of products that will keep my curls happy, healthy, and hydrated between wash days. I can have the best wash day and usually around day 3-4 I’m in need of a big refresh because of the high heat here in Texas. Between workouts, dog walks, and just general sweating, my hair goes through it on a daily basis, so maintaining and keeping hydration is my top priority.

The Review:
Step 1: Apply the Scalp Toning Micellar Water
My first step was to apply the Scalp Toning Micellar Water which I applied directly to my scalp and combed through from root to tip with special emphasis on my ends. This felt like a great step to prepare my hair for shampooing and was definitely invigorating to my scalp. I’d never used micellar water for anything other than cleaning my face so using it on my scalp was a new experience.
Step 2: Use The Deep Cleansing Shampoo and Moisturizing Conditioner
Next it was time to start cleaning my hair with the shampoo which was very creamy and had a sweet fragrance. It lathered relatively well and my curls felt clean once it was rinsed out.
I then applied the Moisturizing Conditioner which had alot of slip and combed through with a wide-tooth comb. I let it sit for 3-5 minutes and rinsed out before hopping out of the shower.
Step 3: Hydrate The Scalp With Oil
I was so happy with the shine and instant results. My hair felt clean, was easy to comb through, and was starting to define itself. Next I applied the soothing scalp oil and massaged it directly onto my scalp. This had a good balance of oil and water so I didn’t feel like I was oversaturating my scalp with oil. It wasn’t runny and absorbed well into my scalp.
Step 4: Apply The Nourishing Leave-In Conditioner
The next step was to complete the wash and go with the nourishing leave-in conditioner which applied easily and smoothly into my curls. The scent was cohesive with the rest of the collection and wasn’t overpowering. It definitely had a nautical/beachy scent that was light enough that I wasn’t overwhelmed, but it was still fragrant.
Step 5: Refresh With The Mineral Rich Hydration Spray
This was definitely one of my favorites from the collection and a product I would keep on hand any day. It was light and put just enough bounce back in my curls between wash days that I didn’t have to reapply additional products. I would just lightly spray this product then be on my way.
Final Thoughts:
This is a great and cohesive collection with products that work together well to achieve the overall goal, which is hydration. I loved all the products and was very impressed with how they performed after wash day. I would definitely recommend the collection or individual products to curlies looking for long lasting hydration this summer.
