Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

Um..I think the stuff is garbage..I hated it even BEFORE I started taking care of my hair!
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

I used this one years ago. I don't know why, but a few hours after applying it my hair felt greasy, but still stiff and dry.

My mother's hairdresser told her years ago that this stuff was garbage and not to use it on my hair.

Anything that says Pink/Luster's dry out your hair. Don't use that.

Same here. When I combed my hair it still sounded like a straw broom.
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

I have two bottles of this stuff that I haven't used. Is there anyway to make it better by adding something or should I give it away to someone who does use it.
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

I tried it a couple of years back and didn't like it. It was too heavy for my hair.

Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

its probably the sodium borate(borax)that makes it drying because I've tried moisturizers with mineral oil and petroleum that were good for example Liv creme hairdress

Very interesting!
My hair hates products that contain wax. Luster's pink oil also doesn't seem 2 contain any humectants!!!

I used this faithfully for 11 or so yrs off & on. It works best when 1st applied. In fact, it works beautiful... gives lots of shine, body, volume. However, the more u use it, the more u'll begin to notice that ur hair is drying out

.

I could never understand why that was the case... so what did I do? I just used more of it

. Then of course, my hair dried out even more.... It wasn't until I found the hair boards a yr ago when I finally realized what was wrong... Luster's Pink Oil Moisturizer was drying out my hair, causing unnecessary breakage, dullness, tangles, etc.

I tell ya', that stuff is like liquid plastic (just being illustrative)... it coats the hair something fierce, then blocks much needed water (moisturizers) from entering.

Cuz the word "Moisturizer" is in the name, I thought it was moisturizing to the hair. THAT'S NOT SO... I soon found out that "oil" is not a "moisturizer", but back then I didn't know any better.

If u do decide to use this, just be very careful of the drawbacks...I would definitely wash 2x weekly to rid the product from the hair.

Another thing, I have clients who still love this product... their hair looks very healthy.. they have no problems... just another example of "what works for sum may not work for others"

One of the employees at Sally's told me the one time a bottle of this stuff was leaking, so she said she tried to wash it down the sink but she said that it was so thick that she couldn't get it to go down the drain by just running water on it.
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

i like using it sometimes instead of Vaseline on my ends before putting my hair in a bun. it works great at sealing the moisture from the curl activator in. i would never use it on my hair wearing it down. it's way too heavy...
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

No not all lusters thing's are bad, how about S CURL
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

I used to use it, but it is drying, It seems like it's a protective mask and makes your hair stiff. It does make the hair shiny though. I stopped using it about 7 years ago when I first started college.

My roomate said that "the pink stuff" was going to pull out my hair if I kept on using it. So I just stopped using it.
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

IMHO it is drying to the hair...seems to be a long term effect that it has.
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

thanx guys! i'll make sure to donate it or something! what should i do with it? sell it on ebay?
 
Re: Is Lusters\'s moisturizer leave in (pink bottle)

It is drying even my pastor said it, he said his barber told him to stop using it because that was what was drying his hair out. Why did my pastor mention this in church on Sunday

He had a point really he did, but honestly I just remember him saying it was bad for his hair!
