I'm not even going to act like it's been ages since I last blogged. I'm just going to get on with it :P
So for a while Tressemme Naturals has been part of many natural haired ladies arsenal. Seeing that it is a commercially available silicone free brand that's easily accessible, I can understand the obsession. I too had it as part of my arsenal, and used it whenever I could. Although I must say most stores stopped including them as part of their sale items *side eye*, and seeing that I'm ijebu, I often looked for a suitable cheaper alternative. (Hello herbal essences).
So about 2 weeks ago, I was strolling through the aisles at my local supermarket when saw this baby. As I picked it up, to look at the ingredients, I was lured to put it in my shopping basket seeing that it contained a combination of coconut milk/oil and aloe vera, but even more, that it was silicone free like it's cousin 'tressemme naturals'.
Looking at the ingredient list and comparing the two, apart from the numerous preservatives and obvious coconut milk/oil in the botanique range, I noticed that it contained aloe vera 'leaf juice powder' as opposed to the aloe vera 'leaf extract' in the naturals range. Furthermore, the botanique range contains glycerin, a humectant that helps keep moisture, whereas the naturals range does not.
What was interesting to note was that as I was looking for a pic of the bottle to post on here, I noticed it had started to make the rounds in the youtube community. I'm sure that they have discovered what I have too ;)
You see, for a silicone free product, this conditioner has got A LOT of slip, (say what?) It is perfect in every sense of the word, from the soft coconut-y scent, to the Goldilock-sy consistency- You know, not too thick and not so thin as to leave your hair barely coated. It coats really well making detangling feel like you're on a beach in the caribbean. It really is that good and right now this minute, I don't think any conditioner comes close.
So if you haven't tried it out I would GREATLY implore you to get yourself a bottle. If you are based in the UK, it is sold in most supermarkets as well as good ol' boots who are having an online sale now if I may add.
So in Naija lingo, 'Grab your copy NOW!!!!!'
