My hair has always been difficult and at the same time I have made it my mission to make it even more so. Easily tangled, frizzy, medium but with lots of volume potential, and chemically processed to oblivion. I have gotten a pixie cut/shaved my head twice in the last three years because I was so exasperated with it.
I decided to chemically relax my hair back in April to loosen the curl and quite simply because I always wanted wavy hair. Never a fan of the way my curls made me look like a child, I went to my mom (who is a licensed cosmetologist) and asked her to do it for me. Afterwards, my hair took its time to adjust to the way I wanted it to, but alas, with any chemical processing there is a price to pay. In this case, my hair became a bit brittle, dull, and with horrible split ends. After a much, needed haircut, I wanted to find new products that would work well with my new hair type.
For years I used a leave-in treatment from Pantene but unfortunately it was either discontinued or it was just not available in the US. After that I kept rotating through brands and lines, never finding something that worked adequately and did not leave my hair frizzy or worse, crunchy.
A few months ago I was subscribed to a beauty box called Petit Vour. The affair did not last long, but one of the boxes led me to find one of the best hair products I've used in a long time. A deluxe sample of EVOLVh SmartStart Leave-in Conditioner + Uber Detangler gave me the confidence to brush my hair without feeling like I was going to tear it from the root. It smells delicious, to boot. My waves were defined but not heavy, and in the short month I was wearing this I felt my hair was looking better than ever.
When my sample was, sadly, empty, I did what I almost never do: go buy the full size product. I also ended up purchasing their Ultimate Styling Lotion because I find often products from the same line tend to work best together.
I have been enjoying these two a lot, and find my hair does not get greasy as easily which is an added bonus, since styling products often leave my hair heavy and my scalp mortified. Mid-range and definitely effective, I highly recommend them if you are looking for something organic, simple, and that works.
