hello sunshower, i recently subscribed to your channel.

you have very nice, healthy hair. i was wondering how often you trim your hair and how you avoid frizzy ends when wearing braid outs. i did my first braid out yesterday, using hairveda whipped creme ends hydration but didnt use the styler i had ( bee mine bee hold curly butter). as you can imagine, i didnt get hold and the look is a little frizzy. i will try braidouts more often though. do you have any suggestions for a good braidout?

[sunshower143]

@vibranta if you do it on wet hair you will have to let the hair dry COMPLETELY. use a styler. i even find that the kimmaytube leave it also gives pretty good hold w/o being hard. if you do it on dry hair you do want a good styler. i sometimes will use the product on dry hair and when i'm done VERY lightly mist the hair with water using my spray bottle. the hair is dry by the morning and has better definition

I made the mistake of using this product for a twistout on a day with 20% humidity. My hair puffed up as soon as I went outside :-(

I guess I should wait until winter to use it again. Any suggestions folks???

[sunshower143]

@jenniekimmy i think from what others are saying i will have to use it under a styling product if i want to use it in the summer. i may use it with eco styler or smooth and hold pudding by ORS.

I also love this stuff cause it is a great underneath or leave in condish under a styling product. It has no hold. Try it with your styling product. You will really like it. It is also great for making buns if you do not want the slick back type of bun. OMG I just heard you say Qhemett Biologics, I love that Alma and heavy cream. It is my staple. Not for summer though.

@lilsisa427 what happens when you use it in the summer? i got it in the winter so i don't know how it function with humidity and heat.

Great review ! I just revisited this product and I now love it, now that I know how 2 use it !! My hair, like yours is super soft and fluffy! I really am not that concerned about hold!

[MickieJay]

Oh I'm learnign of product lines I haven't heard of! This is great. It's good to know what else is out there. Mostly what you hear are bigger names, but that doesn't mean there are'nt any that are just as good if not better!

I need to try this Amla and Olive Heavy cream because my hair cannot have too much moistrure! I like the curl enhancing smoothie now that I have revisited it. Tried to use it before to style, didn't work. But you are so right about the softness, so moisturizing!!!

I purchase this moisture last night and I tried it.... When I opened the jar I loved the scent.until I had to applied it to all my twist. (Almost passed out) Make sure you open your windows while applying this moisture. My lungs are killing me today because I can still smell it. I'm going to write to the company and ask them to make a scent free one.. For those who have sensitive nose/allergies, close surrounding of people...

Your hair came out really nice!! I brought this product for my mom who just did the big chop and she has grey hair that's dry. I know this product will help with the dryness.

I used this product n everything u said about the product is the same way I feel...I love it bcuz it makes my hair really soft n bouncy but I dnt think it has enough hold for me...so what product would u suggest for tha?

[MsJanny12]

Does this product give you less shrinkage

[Onegurrrlrev]

I finally used it for a twist out. It smells so good, very moisturizing, makes my hair soft. It's a nice treat from kimmay's mixture.The price is great and walgreens is everywhere. so I think it will be my back up when I go away to school in the fall.
