Shea Moisture: Amla Oil Bond Repair (?/10)

 

My scalp needed a good wash so I decided to try Amla Bond Repair products after using the colorwow almost 2 weeks ago. I am honestly unsure if this is a good honest review because ColorWow says it can last 3-4 washes after applying and I only washed this once(shampooed 2x) before trying this product. I feel some of the colorwow dream coat was definitely still in my hair after washing so I may have to come back and update this post after all of the product is finally removed from my hair. I did not blow dry my hair straight this time. The night before I washed and deep conditioned my hair(rinsed afterwards). Then I added the leave- in with oil on top and let it air dry. Slept with a silk cap on then got up the next morning, combed out and flat ironed my hair. I added just a little Amla oil to my ends. Could definitely go lighter on the oil next time. I didn't realize it was heavy until it was too late.

*Keep in mind some of that colorwow product was still in my hair even after washing*

ColorWow Extra Strength Dream Coat & Opalex Oil(10/10) *Best Anit Humidity, Frizz and Straightening

 

I decided to give this a try. I used it on freshly washed hair. I parted my hair in sections and applied a liberal amount of the colorwow and combed through. I then blow dried and flat ironed my hair. Afterwards, I followed with Opalex Bonding Oil. My hair is light and feathery. I think I have used so many great hair products that it's hard to say if really saw a wow factor with this product. IGK and Opalex products gave me a soft blow out and very straight hair. Let's give this a few days to see how it does with humidity.

After adding Opalex Bonding Oil(below): I like shine and sheen in my hair! I prefer that happen while flat ironing not after.
