Clairol vitapointe

[naomi]

Hi ladies

I was just wonderng if anyone has any reviews on clairol's vitapointe hairdress, I was eyeing it at Sally's. Thanks.

I used this product a long time ago. It did well on my hair (nice and shiny and moisturized). I have no idea why I stopped using it.

 

[Angelicus]

Is it not just grease in a tube?

 

[Tene]

I used it and it didn't do my hair any good, made it feel dry.

 

[gloomgeisha]

I used to use Vitapointe (it was one of those staples my mum swore by) but I always ended up with crunchy greasy feeling hair. Maybe that's just me though. >.<

I used it back when I was permed and personally it did nothing spectacular compared to grease.

i bought a small tube. I found it to be really greasy. I think it's just mineral oil & petroleum from what I remember from the ingredients. I ditched it & went back to applying B&B on my scalp. At least the B&B has coconut oil, sulfur, wheat germ oil, vitamin e & sage.

I don't recommend Vitapointe unless you really want a greasy shine.

I actually have a big ole tub of it and I love it. Only thing is, you have to use it sparingly. A little goes a lomg way.

It makes my hair so shiny and soft!!

 

[bajanplums1]

i should also add that I have fine hair, so vitapointe was really too much

 

[EssentialGrowth]

I would recommend Vitapointe only for the shine that if gives your hair/images/graemlins/up.gif. Its a great moisturizer for my ends too, I just don't use it on my scalp because of its main ingredients being mineral oil and petroleum.

Sparingly is the key word girl. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I really did like this stuff when I used it back then. After realizing how much I liked it back then, I'm going to get me a tube real soon. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I didn't apply this to my scalp back then. I only used it on my hair.

Vitapointe, here I come.

I've never used Vitapointe but maybe you could try Liv if you want a creamy grease its a lot cheaper and I really like it.

I HAVE FINE HAIR ANDI USE VITAPOINTE IT IS GREAT BUT YOU ONLY NEED A DIME SIZED AMOUNT AND IT'LL GO A LONG WAY. IT DOES CONTAIN PETROLEUM AND MINERAL OIL SO DON'T USE ON SCALP

i heard that amel Larrieux uses this on her hair that her grandmomma hipped her to this.

I just recently purchased a tube from Sally's($3.99 for 1.75 oz) and have used it 3 times and so far so good. I rub it on my hair after a co. wash as a moisture sealer. It's not greasy on my hair(I guess cause I got that super duper thick stuff and it absorbs everything) It's nothing spectacular, but it is a good thick cream hairdress that equates to Liv. It's been around for awhile. It has a hint of fragrance, but nothing overpowering...smells like lotion, looks like lotion. My grandmother used to use it BACK IN THA DAY. /images/graemlins/smile.gif So yeah, it is very much an "ol school" product. I also saw an 8oz tub of it in my local BS store and it was $9.99! I have no clue why it is so expensive(for my taste anyway) /images/graemlins/laugh.gif...

Anywhoo, the ingredients are as followslist is short so I can finally conribute an ingredient list for once /images/graemlins/laugh.gif)

Mineral Oil, Water, Beeswax, Aluminum Stearate, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Stearic Acid, Proplyparaben, Calcium Oxide

I will use it up until it's gone but I won't purchase it again, because Liv is pretty much the exact consistency(thick and lotion-ey) and is alot cheaper! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

You can find Clairol Vitapointe at the Dollar Tree in some areas, for yes, $1. A Sally's employee recommended I purchase it at the Dollar Tree--very nice of her.

Anyway, its okay every now and then but, not for daily use, it builds up and the only thing good ends up being the shine but, my hair won't feel as good after awhile.

I agree. It's great for shine. I used to use if for YEARS but now I find that it weighs my hair down after using it for a few days and it makes my scalp itch and gives me dandruff like crazy! /images/graemlins/barf.gif

I only use it very sparingly these days and only when I know I'll be washing my hair within 2 days or so. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I agree with the others. You have to use this product sparingly or it will build up and you will have a greasy mess. But, it does provide a nice shine to the hair.

 

[Allandra]

The shine this product gives is awesome.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

The shine this product gives is awesome.

Just put some on this morning and the shine is awesome!

 

[Ms Red]

I bought the tube for $2.00 at my local BSS. I love the shine, but limit myself to only using a dime-sized amount to lessen buildup.

It gives good shine and seals my ends.

 

[ThickHair]

That was the only thing that my Nana used and it made her hair so soft. She did have a tube of it for at least a year. She was natural and had long thick hair. She used it on my hair when I spent the summer's with her and it made it easier for her to comb my hair. My mother didn't care for those cream dressings so when I got back home it was back to Dixie peach.

I haven't seen Vitapoint but I have a container of Liv that I have been using it for over a year.

 

[Nsslovely]

I disagree that it's the same as LIV, LIV is much thicker in consistency and the buildup is outrageous.
