Product Review: Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner

-->

Here's my review of the Motions Moisture plus as requested

Full name: Motions Moisture Plus Conditioner

Price: 15gh

Purchased: Local cosmetic shop at American House/ can be found at Accra mall cosmetic shops

What it says: With Silicone and Panthenol, For medium to Coarse textures. For relaxed, pressed, natural and weaved hair.Radiantly shiny, healthy-looking hair can be yours with Motions moisture plus conditioner. The thick, emollient formula infuses each strand of hair with ultra-moisturizing conditioners to help transform your hair from dry and dull to glam and gorgeous.

Directions: Apply an ample amount, cover with shower cap and rinse after 3-5 minutes.

Some ingredients: Water, mineral oil, Polyquaternium-32, Glycerin...Avocado oil, hydrolyzed silk.

How I Used It:

*Pre poo- applied to hair to serve as a barrier before shampooing

*Co-wash: applied on wet hair to cleanse the hair

*Deep conditioner: applied on wet hair, covered with cap as per instructions and rinsed out after 5 minutes

My Thoughts

*Consistency: Extremely thick which makes applying on dry hair quite tedious. I sometimes diluted with water to make it lighter before application.

*Smell: light fruity smell which doesn't linger after rinsing

*Ingredients: I purchased it for the purpose of "moisture" but when I saw hydrolyzed silk even as a last ingredient, I just knew I wouldn't get the result I wanted - I'd severe protein overload and needed some form of moisture treatment.

Understandably, my protein overloaded hair didn't respond well to this product; however, I recently used it again on the new texlaxed hair and it felt amazingly soft and smooth! In the nutshell, I think experiencing that softness means that it was my hair that had the problem at first and the not the product.

Generally, it's pretty moisturizing though not on the "plus" side.

Placenta In Your Hair

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!

How To choose The Ordinary Vitamin C Serum

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...
