Product Review: Queen Helene Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream

Image
By

I have been using this product for months and I think it's time to share my experience with you. A good number of ladies have raved about how effective this product is and in my quest to find a moisturizing deep conditioner, I chose to give it a try.
Price:Ghs10.00,  Madina market (Also available in most cosmetic shops)
Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Stearyl Alcohol , Glyceryl Stearate , Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate , Cholesterol (choleth-24), Ceteth-24,Propylene Glycol , Diazolidinyl Urea , Methylparaben , Propylparaben , Fragrance (Parfum), Disodiium EDTA,Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Yellow 6 (CI 15985),Red 40 (CI  16035), Red 33 (CI 17200).
From amazon, raters give it 4 out of 5.

How I Use It

  •  I've used it for over night deep conditioning
  •  under the hooded dryer 
  •  with body heat.  
  • Heated in microwave before application

My Likes
  1. I haven't stuck to the instructions, which says to apply an amount of warm water on the hair before application but with all the methods I've tried, I love it pre-heated before use because it speeds up the deep conditioning process(I'll be sticking to that). 
  2. The product size to me is not too small nor too large and am not that heavy handed with products so for me, it will take a while to get an empty bottle (except if I use it with another person-eg my god daughter.lol). 
Dislikes
  1. I find the smell a bit of a put off. I'm a fan of sweet smells and prefer to have a bit of cool scents in my hair.
  2. It has no slip thus I can't detangle with it.
  3. It takes a  long time to get absorbed into the hair without oils

    Thanks for the review I have always been interested in trying out this conditioner. However the fact that it has no slip is not so good for me.

    Thanks for sharing, I should give it a try. Currently I'm using a pro naturals argan oil conditioner which also works great.

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

By
I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...

How To: Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse

By
I want to share six ways you can use apple cider vinegar in your hair journey. Most of us know the components/ingredients so we will skip that.  1. Pre shampoo rinse: Dilute one one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar with half cup of water. You should, however, consider the length of your hair in deciding on the quantity.  2. Post shampoo rinse : When you are done with your wash, you can use the diluted acv as a final rinse to close the cuticles.  3. Scalp rinse : Some also focus the rinse on their scalp than the hair. What you can do is to apply with applicator bottle.  4. Post relaxer rinse: Again, acv can be used after washing out your relaxer. It should be the final step. Leave for a couple of minutes and rinse out.  5. Braids scalp maintenance: Dilute the acv, use a cotton to apply and rub your scalp to remove dirt.  6. Together with Ayurvedic herbs: ACV can be used in your henna treatment to facilitate dye release. It can be added to clay treatment too t...
