Hello all =). I have two new products that I've been trying out for about a month now and they are both Nearly Natural products. As stated before, I love the customer service that I receive every time I interact with the CEO of this company. I am always pleased with the fast shipping and the amount of respect he has for all of his customers, not just me personally. This time around I had the pleasure of trying out two new products not a part of the Argan oil line, Natural sheen and silk n' shine.
Nearly Natural Natural Sheen
Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Isopropyl Palmitate, Fragrance / Parfum, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil / Olea Europaea, Cympogon Schoenanthus Extract / Cympogon Schoenanthus, Betula Alba Bark Extract / Betula Alba, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil / Simmondsia Chinensis, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil / Carthamus Tinctorius, Tocopheryl Acetate, Dimethiconol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene. SH
Directions: After shampooing and conditioning apply Natural Sheen to damp or dry hair. Take small section and spray lightly to entire length of hair, glide flat iron through section and release iron. Repeat on entire head. When finished flip hair upside down and brush through, flip back over and style.
Claims: Natural Sheen replenishes natural oils back to hair and provides protection when using heat or flat irons. Flat irons glide smoothly through the hair leaving behind a lustrous shine and radiance not to be surpassed. Containing multi weight silicones it protects against thermal damage as it smooths, conditions, and seals the hair.
My Opinion: This is a product that is mainly used for applying heat, a flat iron to be exact. I am trying to stay away from heat as much as possible so I did not use a flat iron with this product. However, I can say that I do love this product. I did use it although I didn't apply heat because I wanted to see what other use I could get from the product. As with the Argan Oil conditioner and shampoo, this has an awesome smell, smells like a sweet candy. As I mentioned many times before I do love a product that smells good. I used this sheen when I wore curly styles such as braid outs, bantu knot outs, and flexi rod sets. I have to say that this sheen is lightweight, it's not oily, it doesn't leave my hair greasy, it leaves a wonderful sheen on my hair, and it holds curls. Prior to using this product, with any curly style that I did, the curls would fall by the end of the day. However, with this sheen my curls last all day and I have no problem no matter the weather condition. Since this is a thermal protectant I thought that it would be good to apply to my hair since I would be in the sun. Some people tend to forget that our hair also needs to be protected from the sun! Although I did not use this product for its intended purpose I did find other uses for it. I do plan on using this when I flat iron to see what results I receive. This product is definitely a keeper because of all it does without using heat on my hair. I have no negatives about this product.
Nearly Natural Silk N' Shine
Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethicone, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Fragrance/Parfum, Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam), Seed oil, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate. NTR
Directions: After shampooing and conditioning, rinse and towel dry hair. Squeeze one small drop into palm of hands and work into hair. Proceed to blow dry for straight looks. Let naturally dry for free looks. May reapply after finished style for more shine and separation.
Claims: Silk N' Shine transforms and redefines any texture hair. Loaded with performance extracts, it makes curly hair smooth or natural looking, straight hair becomes brilliant, sleek and full of shine. Hair takes on an unbelievable form.
My opinion: Yet another product that I really enjoy using. For me this is equivalent to a serum. It leaves my hair with a great shine that last for a couple of days and it really makes my styles pop. As mentioned above I'm not using heat on my hair so I didn't use this product before blow drying but I used it when I would air dry. I've used this product on both dry and damp hair and both ways the results are the same. I separate my hair into four sections and apply a very small amount to my hand and apply it to each section. My air dried hair becomes smooth, shiny, and it lacks frizz. You don't need a lot of this product at all, a little goes a long way. This also has a sweet smell that I truly enjoy. This is a definite keeper for me. I will be using this in conjunction with the natural sheen when I do use heat on my hair. My hair has never felt or looked so good when I air dry my hair. It's not greasy, heavy, too oily, or drying at all. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to add shine to their hair, eliminate frizz, and get a heat protectant all in one.
Both of these products are something I will continue to use. I truly enjoy the products that I've tried from the Nearly Natural collection, besides the shampoo. This is my honest opinion and I am not being paid for this nor am I affiliated with this company. The customer service is one of a kind, shipping is fast, presentation is awesome, and I've enjoyed the products that I've received. Both of these products are alcohol free which is a major plus. Alcohol dries the hair out so having products without alcohol is amazing. I highly recommend both products to all women with any hair type. I honestly don't have any cons for either one of the products. The only suggestion I would offer is that the Silk N' Shine bottle be changed. It's hard to read what's on the bottle since the bottle as well as the product is clear.
I would like to thank the CEO of the company for sending me these products as well as an abundance of the Nearly Natural Moisture Mist that I love so much.
