Hey Ladies,
I been hitting up my new favorite spot... my local Dominican BSS, so I wanted to share a few reviews. I have a bad case of HIH Disease today and my stuff is over here smelling

I wasn't sure exactly what it was when I purchased it, but did so b/c it looked pretty interesting. It's a very intense green, which looks more like acrylic paint, rather than a hair treatment. There's also no real ingredient listing. The label says it's a Hair Forifying Treatment, w/Apretol-15, Rosemary and Cinnamon. It directs you to follow the treatment w/a mild shampoo. I was advised by the BSS owner to use it for at least 20 mins.
It sat on my hair for 30-40 mins. before I rinsed. I used a good amount, b/c I wasn't sure if it should touch my roots and scalp a bit. I don't think it's necessary now, b/c it doesn't give a tingling feeling or anything. I would be a bit concerned if I had hair color b/c this stuff is super GREEN. But it seemed to rinse well, much better than it did on my hands, my shampoo wasn't green at all. Based on my hair's reaction after rinsing I think it's a protein treatment. Made sense after I read it again. It's a medium to mild treatment, heavier than AO GPB, but not as heavy as Elasta's Breakage Control Serum.
I liked most that it was a pre-poo protein treatment, b/c I was able to put all the moisture back in my hair that pooing takes and I didn't get that drier feeling I sometimes get w/heavier proteins.

This is nice creamy conditioner. Comes in a jar, has a pink labels and states that it's a natural conditioner. Label lists 12 plant sources from which the ingredients originate. Smells good and is wonderfully pink. It's not as heavy as a cholesterol, but a little heavier than Nexxus Humectress (though it has similar qualities). I was directed by the BSS owner to use this one for 20 mins as well. I used it w/coconut milk (which was going south fast & wasn't as oily as typical), but they worked very well together.
It's not a must have, but I'd buy it again. Nice to have in the rotation for conditioner washes, since it softens nicely & smells good.
3 of 5 stars With coconut milk... 3.5 stars.

. This is wonderful leave-in w/mink oil and silk. Smells quite pleasant and imparts great softness and that healthy sheen. The minute I put in my hair I see the shine and my hair smells yummy esp after using the 12 en 1
.
This is a definite keeper.
My hair is still smelling good, has a nice softness w/o being mushy and feels well hydrated. J'adore Lacio Lacio!!! Any takers on the purchase of a full bottle of Salerm 21?
J/K.
4.5 of 5 stars (I'm still searching for perfection in a bottle, but this is a superior product
.)
~I had also promised to try coconut milk as a leave-in, but wanted to give a review of Lacio Lacio. So I'll try it next time when I have fresher milk!!!
