Product Review: Blended Beauty Happy Nappy Styles (The Braiding Files #4)
Price: $21 for 8 oz
Ingredients: Aqua, Sunflower Seed Oil, Shea Butter, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Cetyl Alcohol and Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Vegetable Glycerin, Methylheptyl Isostearate, Parfum, Soy Lecithin, Cetyl Esters, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Preservative (Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol and Sorbic Acid, Rosmarinus Officinalis, Aloe Barbadensis, Chamomilla Recutita
Promise: From the website - A rich and moisturizing styling cream for kinky curls and dreads, or highly textured hair. Style and define your curls or twist locs, while naturally hydrating. Perfect for finger twisting curls! Create defined curls, with maximum moisture and softness. Dries touchably soft and satiny, not sticky or greasy.
Scent: Snickerdoodle Cookie
Consistency: Very thick, like buttercream frosting
Results: I’m so torn on this product. When my hair is wet or damp, this product works well for moisturizing and sealing. However, when my hair is dry, it just sits on top of my hair and feels greasy. In other words, this product has to have separate moisture to work properly on my hair. When it does have moisture, my hair feels soft and stays that way for a little while. It does not give my hair alot of sheen, but it does give it some. I used it on my daughter’s hair, and it was amazing for her, even more than mine. When I spritz her hair and apply this, her curls pop, have a lot of sheen, and even have some shine. I think this butter would be really good for someone with high porosity or more coarse strands, unlike my low porosity/fine hair. The Blended Beauty Curl Quenching Conditioner was definitely a better fit for my hair.Love it, Like it or Leave It: Like It

Product Review: Blended Beauty Curl Quenching Conditioner
Price: $18.50
for 8 oz.
Promise: A detangling, luxurious conditioner with rice bran oil and rosemary. Leaves every strand silky smooth. No silicones!
Scent: Snickerdoodle cookies with strong hint of
cinnamonConsistency: Buttercream frosting or softened butter. In the jar, it looks like it will be heavy, but it spreads fairly thin in a good way.
Results:
I have had this jar for awhile, and it looks like the ingredients may have
changed some. I don’t see rice bran oil
listed anymore, and the new formula has propylene glycol. Also, when I bought this, I thought it was a deep conditioner, but the instructions say to only leave it on for 2-3 minutes, so I think it is a regular rinse out. I liked this conditioner, but more for
styling than for conditioning. It
is great detangler, with good slip and moisturizing properties. It reminded me a lot of Camille Rose's Almond
Jai Twisting Butter and Bee Mine’s Bee-u-ti-ful Deep Conditioner. These products have taught me that my hair
likes “wet butters” for styling my hair in twists or braids. However, while I like this, I’m not sure yet if I will
repurchase it because of the price and the ingredient change. I can get Camille Rose for slightly cheaper,
and I like the ingredients better.
