Faith, Newly Natural’s new guest product reviewer, has some Mizani results to share with you ladies! Full ingredient listing can be found at the end of the post.
Over the past month, I’ve taken some time to get to know a handful of products from this line. Winter is readily approaching and, if you are like me, your hair care routine may be set for a little revamping. Since stepping out of the house with a wet head is not an option~ finding products that can stand up to the harsh wind and Midwest cold is a priority. Winter just seems like the optimal time to experiment.
Mizani D’Tangle Moisturizing Leave-In Milk, True Textures Curl Replenish Intense Moisturizing Mask, and Supreme Oil Hair Treatment are the subject of today’s product break-down. The Mizani Line is far from all-natural! If you aren’t keen to cones and parabens, turn away now.
D’Tangle
8.5oz Light-weight, subtly fragranced, leave-in spray
Price: $10-17
Key Ingredients:
· Water
· Propylene Glycol: acting as a humectant.
· Several cones that are not water-soluble.
I first used this as a refresher to a twisted style for two weeks, the twist out that followed, a wash-day detangling session, and to maintain my flat ironed hair for two weeks after that.
Likes/ Dislikes
- [Conditioning] It conditions well, adding moisture, and softening the hair. The only issue that the product would need to be re-applied multiple times in a day to loose hair because it is so light-weight. Even with twisted hair, it’s a daily conditioning boost, rather than a stand-alone moisturizing product.
- [Detangling] Provides good slip if I saturate my hair with it and work it in. My hair is low porosity and doesn’t soak up product readily. As a detangler, I found it more effective on damp-to-wet hair, rather than dry.
Curl Replenish
8oz creamy, peach fragranced, conditioner
Price: $13-18
Key Ingredients:
· Water and cones
· Behentrimonium Chloride: acting as a conditioning agent and detangler
· Cetearyl Alcohol: acting as an emulsifier and thickener to prevent separation.
Likes
- [Conditioning] Curl Replenish is effective conditioning as a rinse out conditioner and as a leave in styler. This is, in part, due to the penetrative properties of key ingredient #2 (derived from canola oil) and jojoba oil.
Supreme Oil
4.1oz Light-weight, non-sticky blend
Price: $12-17
Key Ingredients:
· Emollients and Oils.
Likes:
- [Sheen] The products gives great non-greasy shine!
- [Ingredients] There are no cones and no mineral oil.
Overall Impression
These three products live up to the claims the make on their labels . The heavy use of water insoluble -cones and synthetic preservatives are turn-offs. My hair is sensitive to -cone build up and will begin to dry out over time with-out clarifying. That consideration would be my only cautionary shout out.
Would I buy it?
Of the three, Curl Replenish is the one I would invest in. In regular maintenance, I’m not a big fan of silicones. As a prep for heat styling, due to the silicone content, the treatment helps protect and condition my hair for heat.
The Supreme Oil cocktail doesn’t really provide a wow-factor that would set it aside from other mixes. The D’Tangler Hair Milk is a product better suited for summer months and doesn’t provide long-lasting moisture.
