Hey, beautiful people!
Given the long weekend and the fact that summer has finally come to
Michigan, I decided to do a wash n’ go with a product that has been sitting in
my product stash for most of the winter – Mop Top’s Curly Hair Custard.
I forgot to do an overnight deep conditioner, and I didn’t
have time to hop in and out of the shower; so, there was no deep conditioner
this week. First, I washed my hair with
Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Shampoo.
This shampoo continues to be a favorite of mine. It cleans my hair without stripping it, as
long as I don’t use too much.
Next, I conditioned and detangled my hair with Herbal
Essence Long Term Relationship Conditioner.
It is not often that I call something a holy grail product, but this one
is one.
Finally, I used Curl Junkie Smoothing Lotion as
my leave-in (another holy grail product), and put the Mop Top Curly Hair Custard
on top. The Mop Top went in easily. It has a lot of slip and a little goes a long way. In that regard, it reminds me of Kinky
Curly’s Curling Custard. It doesn’t
leave my hands with the same sticky feeling as the Kinky Curl; however, maybe
it should. Apparently, Mop Top has
little hold, which is not good given that at least 4 of the top 5 ingredients are humectants (aloe vera, glycerin, honey and pectin). When my hair dried, it
frizzed, shrunk significantly and uneven, and took flight.
In short, I looked a hot mess. To
make matters worse, this stuff flakes horribly.
I was wearing a black shirt, and it looked it snowed on my shoulders. The next day, my hair looked even worse.
I do not plan to use this product again.
