USED ON LITTLE B'S HAIR

BEFORE:







SHAMPOO:




Because his hair is so short, I really didn't need a lot of shampoo, a couple of pumps/squirts were enough.  I repeated the process twice because Little B went on a field trip and some how, a lot of things were in his hair.. ha! 

This shampoo reminds me of Kinky Curly Come Clean, it really DIDN'T strip his hair but you could tell that it was really cleaning his hair, like a good clarifying shampoo would do.

Great lather and very gentle in the little one's eyes.


CONDITIONER:








I applied the conditioner and massaged his scalp for about 5 minutes and then he played in the tub for approximately 15 min before rinsing the conditioner out. 

This conditioner worked great after Little B's shampooing.  His hair felt clean/clarified and the Conditioner just replenished the moister in his hair and then some, leaving his hair feeling silky soft. 

LEAVE IN CONDITIONER:


NOW, trust me when I saw, "a little goes a long way", so be very cautious as to how much you pump onto your palm.   

The Leave In Conditioner is very light and has a great slip, which I loved.  Two pumps was enough for his short hair.  



On the picture above you can see how shinny his hair looks. No need for a comb or pick, I only used my fingers to evenly distribute the product.

Little B. really liked these products, he said and I quote "smells nice and it doesn't pull my hair".. Basically the shampoo truly cleaned his hair and the conditioner instantly revived and moisturized his curls!  It almost felt like I had used a DC treatment instead of just a simple conditioner.

Little B is old enough to apply styling products by himself. He found it extremely easy to use the leave in conditioner.  This product was not thick so it was easy for him to apply evenly throughout his hair. 


My  husband put a "boys durag" over Little B's hair before he went to bed.


AFTER:  

 

Pictures speak a thousand words!! Little B's curls were more defined, the after pictures were taken after he had been playing outside after coming home from school!!  

Little B's hair was still "free of tangles", which is a plus for us because like every other boy, he hates combing his hair!  His hair felt a bit "thirsty", therefore I will add a bit more of the leave in conditioner before putting his Durag on at bedtime.  I will also spray some more of the  "Tangle Tamer" before he goes to school in the morning.  

Overall, the products are amazing and they worked fine for him. I loved how his curls were defined and "popping", specially around the hairline. 

STAY TUNED for Part II of this review, MS. BREE IS UP NEXT!
