Having tightly-coiled, highly-textured hair makes the struggle of finding a good hair product that satisfies my hair needs, extremely hard. Growing increasingly frustrated with the state of my hair, and finding myself discouraged with a vow to 'stay natural', I decided I would take the time to find a good, more expensive product for my hair (because these low-priced good products weren't doing a darn thing for my hair improvement). Also add that, I hardly like spending more than $10 on a hair product.
I came across the triple moisture line from Neutrogena. I never knew they had a hair care line, and I've been using their facial products for years.
I have extremely dry, thin and kinky-coily hair. Many major hair products catered for dry hair are marketed and designed for the hair textures and/or type, for that of White women, and women of similar hair texture. Very rarely is the dryness of White hair comparable to the dryness of a Black person with very kinky hair like mine (most of the time). So I was skeptical in picking out something that wasn't in the 'ethnic hair care' aisle. But usually the ones products for really, really dry White hair are transferable.
Any who, I read the bottle, and its promises were exactly what I was looking for:
Triple Moisture...melts effortlessly into strands, improving smoothness and manageability while diminishing fly-aways and frizz. This silky daily cream spreads evenly, absorbing quickly to instantly soften, smooth and condition extra dry, damaged strands. Three naturally derived extracts work to defy dryness. Olive penetrates to the center of the hair strand, Meadowfoam Seed helps moisturize the middle and Sweet Almond wraps the surface. It also contains UV filters. Neutrogena Triple Moisture® provides specialized care for extra dry hair.
It was kinda pricey for the small bottle it came in, but I decided to spend the $8 and hope that the price was a reflection of the product quality.
After washing my hair, I added several drops of the product into my palm and worked it into my hair. The directions promised that only a drop would be sufficient. But I kept in mind that this tip is standard for people with straighter or looser hair textures. I added more than directed, and began drying my hair. I immediately saw the difference.
When I used to dry my hair before, I used Organics olive oil leave-in, and a hair lotion. My hair always felt dry afterwards. But not this time. My hair was soft to touch, it didn't make crunching sounds when I ran a comb through it, and it smelled pretty good; I loved it.
You can use also use it on dry hair. Even after drying my hair, I added a little bit more. I would recommend this product for anyone with dryness-prone hair, or kinky and coily hair.
