Wow! For this ‘cheapo’ product i didnt have very high hopes… but i’m happily surprised to say its really very good.
I grabbed it from Boots to keep me going until i finally choose some more expensive ‘quality’ rinse-outs/DTs, and slapped it on after my clarifying Aussie Moist poo (1st CG wash).
I used the IceQueen technique of scrunching it in and rinsing it out *upside down* in the shower (LOL, my head was upside down rather - i wasnt doing acrobatics in the shower!), and this really helped to start clumping and curl formation (another surprise - I thought the Icequeen method would be a waste of time, but it definitely made a positive difference).
The Coconut & Almond scent was lovely, perhaps slightly artificial smelling but still nice to the nose, and i was surprised at how little i needed to use to get the hair coated, slippy and feeling like seaweed. This may have something to do with the fact i just went CG and clarified all the nasty buildup of silicone from my hair, but i always had to use at least double that amount of conditioner before and my hair never felt that silky-slippy and saturated with moisture, even when using very rich, pricier DTs.
Upon rinsing my hair felt like spun silk - so sooo soft and as it began to dry i could see a definite healthy shine! - My hair is NEVER usually shiny… until now!
I went to bed and styled the next day, with a CG volumizing mousse and Boots pink curl creme and i got the prettiest, bounciest, healthiest waves iv ever experienced. Usually the volume iv diffused into my hair drops gradually throughout the day and my messy waves can look dull and over-producty, but the bounce, volume and wave definition stayed all through the day and i even had half acceptable 2nd day hair.
I credit my huge hair improvement to 3 things - Going CG in general (clarifying all that nasty silicone buildup out of my hair), the Boots Ingredients Coconut Almond Co, and the Boots Essentials Pink Curling Creme.
I cant give *all* the credit to the C&A co, but im convinced it played a big part in giving me the prettiest, bounciest, healthiest looking hair i’ve had for a lonnnggggg time, if ever.
I’ll keep playing and trying new products, but for now Boots C&A Co and pink curling creme are my hero CG products.
Who’d have thought such cheap products could give such great results?! - I’d never have dreamed of trying them before finding this site and going CG, b/c i thought the cheapy products would be pretty useless - i was so wrong!
