2 Reviews Lady Fior Leave In and SE Cholesterol



Lady Fior Olive Oil Leave In 10oz/$6.49
http://www.beautyofnewyork.com/
Dates of usage: 1/1/2010- 2/26/2010
Usage: To moisturize and seal wet or dry hair
Description: Cream Leave In
Product Claims:
An ideal product that protects your hair from dryness and climate changes, which thanks to its natural conditioners, Silk Proteins and Virgin Olive Oil moisturizes your hair from the roots to the ends, protects it from split ends and replenishes overly processed hair.

Directions:
Pour only a small amount on the palm of your hand and distribute all over your wet hair. Do not rinse.

My Experience:
Initially after application of this product it seemed to make my hair smooth and soft. It was instrumental in helping me air dry. It didn't do anything special for me while stretching. I didn't notice my NG any softer or more manageable. After textured styles my hair would feel really dry, this is a big issue of mine. In Texas, the heat is scorching and I need a moisturizer that can at least hold up in the winter. For bunning, my ends stayed moisturized, but if my hair was out this product is too heavy and when I would use it by mid-day my hair would be dry again.I did notice that it seemed quite heavy on my hair before my hair started to thicken up. This is not necessarily a cream leave in that I would recommend for 'fine-haired' people.

The scent is nothing over the top or overwhelming. Very light and doesn't linger. It is a mint green type of color.

I really don't have any complaints, is it the best moisturizer I've tried?, no but it' okay. My only problem is availability. If I gave up all of my moisturizers that I want to try and say this is it, would I have to wonder about it being discontinued as so many of my other Dominican products have been. Product security is also an issue for me. It's an alright product. It kept me satisfied this long, I won't make it a staple, but who knows I may revisit it later on in my journey. It lasted 3 months, most products don't last that long in my house between my hair and my children's.

Directions: Shampoo and towel dry hair. For best results use SE Luxury Moisturizing Shampoo. Liberally apply Cholesterol Conditioning Treatment ensuring that ends are covered. Comb-blend for coverage. FOR INSTANT CONDITIONING:Leave on hair for 2 minutes. Rinse well. Style as desired. FOR MEGA DEEP CONDITIONING: Leave on hair for 5-7 minutes(Use heating cap if desired).Rinse well. Style as desired.

My Experience:
This deep conditioner made my hair feel super soft and have sooo much slip, but it irritated my scalp. My hair actually felt moisturized and soft. It made my scalp itchy and flaky. I found that this conditioner was too hard for me to rinse from my scalp. My goal when applying a dc is to cover my NG, but not my scalp. When it gets on my scalp it takes forever to rinse.

Plain and simple, my hair LOVES this dc, but my scalp hates it.

This product is only available at Sally Beauty Supply Stores. It is a Sally brand. I'm really glad I got to try this b/c minus the itchy, flaky scalp, I really liked it.
