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.

Placenta In Your Hair

By
Placenta or the popular brand, Placentyne leave in treatment has been with us for ages!  Keratin, which hair is made of, is a strong protein that can break down with sun exposure, wind, pollutants, daily maintenance, manipulation, heat tools, and chemical treatments like permanent color. This is where using protein treatments come in to help temporarily repair the hair strands. Protein treatments are used to add strength and resiliency to damaged hair by attaching hydrolyzed proteins directly to the hair follicle and hardening the cuticle layer. If there are holes in the hair cuticle, it will fill those holes or gaps while also placing a barrier around the hair shaft to lessen further damage. Most protein treatments are conditioning treatments. They can come be a deep conditioner, light, or reconstructor (heavy) (source:https://www.naturallycurly.com)  This placenta for hair acts as a protein reconstructor! This means it's a hard protein treatment  and should therefore strengthen y...

How To choose The Ordinary Vitamin C Serum

By
If you missed the post on the types of vitamin C serums carried by The Ordinary, then, just go through it and come back to this. Paula's Choice and The Ordinary seem to have a lot in common when it comes to formulations and I love that! Let's start with the highest form which is the L-ascorbic acid. This is found in the The Ordinary Vitamin C silicone and vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%.   Much like our Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% formula, this product also offers a suspension but in light silicones for a smooth, non-gritty skin finish. Despite the very light forms of silicones used, silicones do impair dermal exposure to Vitamin C slightly but the additional (30%) concentration of Vitamin C helps compensate for this slight inefficiency. A very strong tingling but non-irritating sensation is expected during the first 1-2 weeks of use until the skin's tolerance to such high exposure is elevated. If desired, this formula can be diluted in a cream base pe...
