okay, i’ll admit it. i’m a sucker for anything hair related. but not just any sucker. see, i have a very discerning eye and tastes, and just any old thing won’t do.

like many consumers, my eye is first drawn to a package by the way it looks. bright colors really do me in; as are most women. but i’m a well informed consumer and a black woman with kinky hair, so that bottle better be more than just a pretty package and the package had just be more than wipped fancy conditioner with overwhelming, luscious fragrance.

gimme plain ‘ole scentless coconut oil any old day over boo-boo trash  that smells like grapefruit in a glass bottle, thank you.

since i zoom past the superficial quite easily, my spidey sense quickly sniff out the good stuff. i’m like  a drug dog at the airport. what do we have here, shea? nope. coconut? nope. jojoba? nope…macadamia? ding, ding, we have a winner!!

folica has a new – at least to my knowledge -  product label on their shelves. a product which boast the “power” of macadamia nut.

okay guys, i have to tell ya, i really, really tried to like this masque. i used it a few times, but in the end, i was always left feeling like something was missing.

i realized that it was MOISTURE! this stuff left my hair feeling stripped – that too clean feeling that NO ONE should ever experience.

i think the pj in me messed me up. my tryone biggums had me pick this up while i was in big lots. ugh, big lots, dollar store, they are all EVIL! you go in there with $10 to pick up a few things on your list and come out with stuff you don’t need. “omg! they have $1 charcoals!” when you ain’t even much got a dern grill!

i was supposed to be buying wrapping paper and picked up that paper annnnddd this masque. the smell is yummi – it reminds me of herbal essence, and the texture is thickish. not cantu shea butter thick, but thicker than regular conditioner.
