Product Review: Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-in Conditioner
Price: $13 for 8 oz. / $22 for 16 oz.
Promise: Locks
moisture in your hair without weighing it down or causing product build up.
Infused with essential oils to smooth your hair shaft and keeps it moisturized.
The lemon zest scent is yummy and refreshing. Hair will feel soft and ready to
be styled pretty!
Scent: Lemon
Consistency: Thick
liquid, like orange juice with a lot of pulp
Results: I
loved this product! It made my hair
soft, strong and moisturized. It also
lasts a long time. I’ve been using it regularly
since at least the beginning of the year, and I still have a quarter of a
bottle left. I used it more as a
moisturizing, protein spritz rather than a leave-in. My only issue is that, because of the thickness of the liquid, it didn't always come out of the spray nozzle well. Sometimes, it would drip or collect on the front of the spray, and I would have to wipe it off and spread it on my hair with my fingers. I didn't mind this too much because this is such a great product. I was going back and forth on whether to buy it again because I am trying to transition to making more of my own products and buying less online. However, now that I can get this on the ground at Target, I will definitely buy it when my no-buy is up.

Product Review: Alikay Naturals CoWash Me Cleansing Conditioner
Price: $13
for 8 oz. / $22 for 16 oz.
Promise: Formulated
to be gentle enough for daily use on curly, kinky or straight hair. Leaves hair soft, moisturized, clean and easy
to detangle. Hair will feel and smell great!
This Product is 100% Natural and 90%
Organic. Cleans hair without the
stripping it of natural oils caused by sulfates.
Scent: Like
strawberry lemon starburst or skittles
Consistency: It
was very runny. It almost ran off my
hand mid picture.
Results: My
hair definitely did not feel stripped.
However, I’m not sure this cleansed my hair at all because my hair didn't feel any cleaner after using it and I can't really tell which ingredient is the cleansing agent. It was
a great conditioner, though. This had lots
of slip and was great for detangling.
Unfortunately, I run through conditioner way too fast to ever use this as just a good conditioner. I used up the
8 oz. bottle in about 2 washes. After
the second wash, I only had enough for 1/4 of my hair. If I had a smaller head of hair, I would add
this to the regular rotation. Maybe, if
I have a daughter, I will use it on her, if I can figure out what is in the “herbal and botanical blend”.
