My review
Pros:
- It moisturizes my new growth! I know this sounds like something that every moisturizer does, but this one is on another level. It is one of the reasons why I have been able to go on a long relaxer stretch with little difficulty from managing new growth.
- Ingredients are naturalista friendly: Yes paraben free, mineral oil free, etc etc
- It smells amazing! The vanilla scent makes me want to eat it, it smells like a dessert lol. The scent is not overbearing it just has the right balance.
- It has good slip: I find is easy to work through my new growth with this product because as I apply it, the growth softens fast.
- Smooth results: I use it in the evenings before I cross wrap my hair, and the next day my hair is almost always feeling smooth.
- A little goes a long way: I started off with the 2 oz sample, just to see if it was worth purchasing. I used the 2 oz sample for about 2 months, so if my maths is correct, a 80z bottle should last me about 8 months :-))
Cons:- It is thick in consistency so sometimes it is hard to get out of the bottle (my bottle is the squeeze one, not the pump bottle I see on their website)
- Because of its consistency I do not see myself using this moisturizer during the first 8 weeks after relaxing my hair - I think it will weigh down my hair a lot, so I will keep using Hairveda Satin Tea Moisturizer during that time. I also do not see myself using it as a leave-in conditioner as indicated in the directions due to its thickness.
Overall I give this product a 10/10, Love it!
Have you used MMMM before?
Nice review. How do you moisturize your new growth? How do you compare it with the Hairveda?
ReplyDeleteThanks Uzo! I literally part my hair into 4 sections and then part each section into smaller sections and directly apply and massage a little moisturiser into my new growth. It takes me about 30 minutes to do this but it's the only way I can keep my new growth manageable. I like both moisturisers, Hairveda is abit too light for my new growth but MMMM is too heavy early after relaxing my hair. So I would rate MMMM slightly higher than Hairveda but each moisturiser serves a different purpose for me :-) hope this helps.
