| Treasure Tress Box |
I've just done my last washday of the month and thought it was about time to share with you all what I received in this month in my Treasure Tress Box.
It came with a card that detailed all the products with recommendations of how they are to be used. I thought this was really nice, it’s definitely perfect for someone who’s new to the whole natural hair care journey.
So what did I get?
First up was the matching Moisture Rich Cocoa Butter and Peppermint Oil shampoo and conditioner by Palmers. They were full sized products and the scent instantly reminded me of the chocolate After Eights ! The shampoo has a creamy consistency and was a pearly cream shade. I did find that it took me three washes until I was satisfied that my hair was cleansed. I will say that the shampoo is great for when there isn’t any buildup in your hair but you just want to soothe the scalp.
The accompanying conditioner smelt the same way and has a thicker paste like consistency. It squeezes out the tube and when left on the hair for 10mins my hair felt über soft! I was a little disappointed with the amount of product that’s in the tube because I found that I really need to squeeze a lot out to coat my hair. It’s thick and does not have any slip , so I would advise wetting your hair a bit before you apply. I wouldn’t call he product a conditioner, as it seemed more like a mask to me. All in all I did use up 2/3rds of the product these past two weeks. If I ever feel desperate for restoration to my hair, I wouldn’t mind falling back on this up. Below is a picture of what my hair looked like with the conditioner sitting in. I did not aid it’s absorption by applying heat but I’m sure this would maximise the benefits of the products to my hair.
Moving on to the styling products, this box came with a Leave In conditioner from Activilong. This is the Actiforce Sapote and Black castor oil leave in for frizzy and kinky hair. I found that this best applied to damp ( but more on the dry side ) hair. It leaves no grease yet adds suppleness to my 4b/c kinks. I absolutely loved using this . The final step is to seal with the oil, and this box came with Love Row Naturals Hair Amour in ‘Flora Blossom’ . I was intrigued by this oil because of the light blend of oils used. It has almond, grape seed, jojoba , castor oil and their essential oil blends. This is my FAVOURITE product from the box. My hair thoroughly enjoyed it despite not being the thick and heavy oil that I’m used to applying into my hair. The smell is quite fresh and herbal. I must confess it does remind me of washing up liquid but not in a repulsive way. It did make my scalp tingle a bit so I knew it was working ! My hair felt nourished and these two weeks I’ve seen greater shine and lustre.
To style I tried something new last week and did a hanging Bantu knot on braids. When I took those down my hair was still moisturised and despite being heavy handed my hair was bouncy and light. It didn’t feel weighed down at all. I find that the oil and leave in are a perfect addition to my hair care journey and I’m exited to see what next month has in store for me!
Lastly there was a swivel stick of the Palmers Cocoa Butter. At first I thought this was a lip balm - because to be fair that’s what was written on the front. However after a day of applying it onto my lips and something not feeling right I decided to read up on the ingredients. I compared it with my actual full sized Cocoa Butter by Palmers and noted that the list was the EXACT same. Ingredients were just listed in a varying order. Now that I know that, the butter is handy for when I’m going out and don’t feel like carrying a heavy jar or cream. I can just pop this into my handbag and be on my merry way!
