Good morning ladies,
This is my first post and I am looking forward to applying the wonderful information on this forum. My goal is to take better care of myself in general and my hair in partiuclar. Specifically to grow my layered, shoulder-length, relaxed hair to bra-strap length. I have always been a bit of a product "junkie". I love to look my best and that includes my hair.
I have really abused it though: relaxers too close together -- 4 to 6 weeks apart; many times overlapping the hair or even worse...completely covering the full strands! I had been using curling irons every single day to style my hair and blow dryers everytime I shampoo. In spite of all that, I generally got complements and my hair is a decent length...but is hasn't budged from shoulder length (give or take an inch) in years!
So I am on a quest to deep condition on a regular basis to reduce heat styling, to shampoo twice a week and to wait longer between relaxers...at least 8 weeks.
With all that said, I have been using Ojon for two months now and my hair absolutely loves it! I bought the Try Me Kit from Sephora and I used the Restorative Treatment. The coffee/cocoa-like scent did take surprise me at first, but the results were healthy, strong hair, so it was worth it. It doesn't bother me. I also used the shampoo and conditioner. It works wonderfully leaving my hair... moisturized and strong and the smell is heavenly! I also use the Leave-in Revitalizing Mist. In the past, I hated leave-ins because my hair always had a some sort of dull film on it. But this treatment-based leave-in makes my locks soft and moist...and again smells divine. Oh, I can't forget the glossing mist. It leaves my style shiney and smelling wonderful with out that heavy oily look.
So I am a believer and I will continue to use many of the products in the Ojon line. I will probably alternate other products because the items are high-priced.
Now, I am considering purchasing the PhytoSpecific Index II relaxer for my next touch up on November 4.
