I’ve said this a few times, but I don’t like using waxy
textured products on my hair. They leave my hair feeling greasy, weighed down
with build-up, and I hate how they leave behind a shiny residue that makes it
look as though I’ve rolled around in a vat of petroleum. So when I first saw
that this Jamaica Mango & Lime product was indeed a waxy textured product I
wondered if I’d actually be able to use it, you know, given my prejudice and
that. But as you can probably tell from this post, I did use it, and boy oh boy
am I glad that I did.
First of all, because of the all the heat from the previous
days, the product was more liquid than wax so it didn’t feel like other waxy
products I was used to. Second of all, I noticed on the package the mention of
the product providing brilliant shine without build-up. So with two alone, I was
sold.
After cutting the first sachet open the first thing I noticed
was the limey smell – utter divine – and how fruity it was. The next thing I noticed
was the yellowy colour and how, most probably because of the heat, how well the
product glided through my parted hair and how instantly soft it made my hair
without feeling heavy.
One thing I didn’t notice until I had opened the second
sachet was that the product is geared towards those with locks (something that I
don’t obviously have), and though I doubt it’d have much effect on my hair, I thought
it was still something worth mentioning. So will I buy it? Hmmm. In all honesty
I’d rather just keep a batch (aka 1000 sample sachets) of these samples as I know
that too much of a good thing is bad, and that eventually my prejudice would
most likely flare up.
