By now, all of you know of my enthusiasm for natural products, especially ones used for the skin and hair. Well folks, I have discovered another product that has captured my devotion.
I found out about this product, Bee’s Knees Avo Whip Hair Conditioner, while reading the blog Natural & Organic Body Care. The blogger, Lynn, unveiled her new creation , which consisted of avocado, coconut, olive oil, and honey. Let’s pause for a second.
Allow me to tell you a story, my hair tends to be on the dry side and it absolutely craves moisture. I have tried an at-home mixture of avocado and olive oil on my hair, which was delightful! BUT….1) it’s messy 2) pure olive oil can be pricey, and 3) oh, did I mention it was messy? Picking up little pieces of avocado from the sink is not fun. So when I saw this conditioner that has all of my favorite natural ingredients in it, it was a no-brainer. I had to try it.
I love love love this conditioner. I applied it to my damp hair, put on a shower cap (no, I didn’t leave the house with that on!) and kept the conditioner in for an hour. I combed my hair with the conditioner for an astoundingly easy detangling process–five minutes. I rinsed the conditioner out with cool water twice, to ensure that I didn’t leave any residue in my hair. I must say that my hair was unbelievably soft!
The results were amazing. When using this product, I don’t have to add any other product afterwards, I can just twist, braid, bun or let my hair flow on its own. I can truly say that this conditioner makes my hairwashing ritual a pleasurable experience.
One caveat, this conditioner does not have any preservatives, so it has a short shelf life (about three weeks), so it must be refrigerated and used quickly. I don’t mind though. This assures me that the conditioner is fresh and all natural, and gives me a good excuse to wash my hair often with this moisturizing delight.
