MixedChicks Hair Products

[producjunki]

Hello! Has anyone tried a line of haircare products called MixedChicks? I just happened to stumble across their site at www.mixedchicks.net and saw testimonials and before/after pictures of people who've used their products, and I liked what I saw. If you have used their products, could you let me know? Thanx! Also could you let me know if their products have any sulfates in it? I use only natural products for my hair

Me-4 something hair--not so good..left hair gummy and stiff

daughter 3 something hair- O.K. but still a bit of stiffness. The good news is that their is less shrinkage...the bad news is that by keeping the length it employes a product that makes hair stiff.

I ran up to get the products out of bathroom which all containers are 3/4 full.

As for being "natural", I don't think so, but I flunked chemistry! Well never noticed before but WAX is the third ingredient in the leave-in.

I've only tried the leave-in conditioner. I like it. It leaves my hair really curly and defined. Sometimes my hair feels kind of dry, but other times it feels nice and soft. I only use in on wet hair and after washing or co-washing. The smell is very weird though. I can't describe it. Also, it is like a leave-in conditioner and styler all in one.

I've tried it before, it was ok, but something in it broke me out, so I gave it away. Also I think I still needed to mix it with a heavier product to get the results I wanted. It has parabens, so if you're doing all natural products, you will want to avoid this.

I didnt see the ingredient list on their site. Here are the ingredients as listed on naturallycurly.coms website:

Ingredients: Water, glycerin, amodimethicone, emulsifying wax, hydrolyzed wheat protein,/pvp crosspolymer, methylgluceth-20, hydroxypropyl trimonium choloride, octyl methoxycinnamate, hydroxyethyl celloluse, jojoba oil, safflower oil, primrose oil, wheat amino acid, crosilk, hydrolyzed collagen (marine), phenoxyethanel, methylparaben, proplyparaben, butylparaben, FD&C red #40, FD&C yellow #5, fragrance

I tried a Mixed Chicks leave-in sample last week and i really liked it. My curls were soft, shiny and defined and it lasted until my next wash (4 days later).

This is how my hair turned out: http://public.fotki.com/Amethyst85/july-2008/

But i would have to try out for longer before i can make it my staple product.

My roomate who is a natural 4a/4b uses this stuff loves it. This is all she talks about. And from what I see it really helps define her curls.

Emulsifying Was is not harmful - it just allows oils and waters to mix together without seperating...

I love the shampoo and conditioner. The sample leave-in left my hair really dry so I never purchased the full-size. The conditioner really helps with curl definition and the shampoo is not drying at all. It will probably replace my other shampoos. Next time I order I'll have to get at least 2 jars of conditoner, there is not much in there.

I tried them. I had a giveaway a few months back on '07. I still might have a pack if you want it.

I wasn't crazy about the shampoo, although it wasn't really bad. i loved the deep conditioner and the leave-in. If you're relaxed, used the leave-in on your DRY hair so it won't clump your hair together like gel.
