I ADMIT IT - I AM A NATURAL HAIR CARE PRODUCT JUNKIE! I was trolling different blogs & sites and the VO5 Moisture Milk line was hyped as a great cheap condish to use as a co-wash so of course I had to try it - and you really can't beat it for less than $1!
How I used it - much like the instructions for WEN, I separated my hair into 4 sections and soaked my hair under lukewarm water; poured about a quarter-size portion into my palm then massaged it onto my scalp using my fingertips. I added a little more (about a dime size) to my ends then massaged my scalp for about 2 - 3 mins before twisting each section. I left the condish on under a warm towel for 10 minutes before beginning to detangle my hair. After detangling, I rinsed the condish out using cool water; my hair felt so soft and smelled slightly of strawberries.
PROS
- the smell - it's not an overpowering sweet smell and doesn't linger too long after rinsing out
- the price
-silk protein adds a boost of moisture to my color treated hair
- no 'cones
CONS
- this isn't really a con but be aware of the fact that it is a thin condish because I ended up using a little more than 1/2 the bottle to co-wash & detangle during one wash, it didn't provide enough slip for me so next time I plan to either detangle using coconut oil before co-washing or adding coconut oil to the condish to prevent using so much and aiding in the detangling.
I'd highly recommend giving it a try because although Amazon's price is great, I've seen it on the ground for as little as $.76! If it helps those who "hair type" - I'm African-American with unrelaxed, multi-textured hair types 3C & 4A/B.
