Review: Dr. Miracle's Restorative Treatment Pack

Ok, ready for part 2? The second half of this review is going to be on the restorative treatment pack. It includes Argan Hot Oil Treatment, Acai Thermal Protection Styler and the Coconut Milk Leave-In Conditioner. With this one, I only used the Coconut Milk Leave-In Conditioner. So this is the one I will be talking about and reviewing.

About The Product:

The Coconut Milk Leave-In Conditioner reduces frizz and defines curls. It leaves the hair with a radient shine. Leaves the hair soft with a light hold and desired movement. For this product the instructions it calls for you to wash and condition your hair, pour this product into your hands and apply it evenly throughout the hair. Then scrunch and air dry.

My Review:

As I stated earlier, I only used the Coconut Milk Leave-In Conditioner, and the reason is, my hair cant hold oil and the thermal protection styler felt really watery in the package. I have also included photos. The first thing, the product does not have that medicated smell, it has a very pleasent smell of coconut. Its not thick, but its not watery:

Sorry about the blurry photo. But this is what the product looks like. And that is the amount I used per section. Now I am wearing my hair straight but my ends still frizz kind of bad even with the flat iron. So here is how I used this product. I used it on my hair dry and straight. When I first began to use it I applied it to my hair root to end, and then eventually just to the ends. Here is what my ends looked like before I applied the product

As you can see frizz city! Even though my hair has been flat ironed, my ends still frizz.

This is a photo of my ends after I applied the product, you can see how my ends soaked up the product.

Moisture plus heat equals this. I put this photo here to show how much moisture this product has. This is what my hair does when water are anything containing water touches my hair.

This is the end results. Love it! no frizz! So, whats the big deal? Arent flat irons suppose to do just this? True, however my ends NEVER get straight. You cant tell in the photo, but my hair has an amazing shine and movement. It looks as though I have a relaxer. I am very happy with this product and I cant wait until I wear my natural to see what it does for my curls.

Overall:

I recommend this product 100%. This product reminds me of all the wonderful things I have heard about Dr. Miracle. It is true to what it says it does. I use it daily in my hair. It is the only product so far that I have find to get my ends straight and frizz free and given the heat and humidity here where I live, that says something. A+!

Review: Dr. Miracle's Conditioning Treatment Pack

I was sent both the Dr. Miracle's Restorative Treatment Pack and the Dr. Miracle's Conditioning Treatment Pack. I will be doing this review in two parts. I will tell you that these products are being used on natural hair and what works or does not work on my hair may have different results on the next person's hair. My review is just that, my own.

About The Product: Dr. Miracle's Conditioning Treatment Pack

It contains 3 unique scalp and hair therapy formulas. They are individually wrapped which allows you to customize your own hair regimen. This particular pack contains their most popular products. Each packet is 1.75 oz and the carton is priced at $4.19.

 

My Review:

This carton contained Deep Conditioning Treatment, Leave-In Treatment & Conditioner and Anti-Breakage Strengthening Creme

 

  • Deep Conditioning Treatment - Heals breakage and dry scalp while restoring hair's natural shine and beauty. I skipped this stepped and went to step two.

 

  • Leave In Treatment & Conditioner: I did not like this product and here is why. When I think of conditioner I think of a thick creme product . This product was watery which turned me off! I used this on my natural curly hair and I really didnt see a huge difference. I was like putting water in my hair. The smell of menthol was overwhelming. I was not impressed with this product at all.

 

  • Anti Breakage Strengthening Creme: This product I liked a little better. It was thick without being heavy. I used this after I flat ironed my hair, when the risk of breakage is higher, applied it mostly to my ends. It did kinda cause me to re-flat iron my ends, as they frizzed a little. Now that is more then likely because it has water in it. But my hair is soft, even though I used it on dry hair as opposed to wet, my hair doesnt feel dry or brittle at all. It requires you to use it twice a day, but my hair is thin so I can get away with once a day. If you an ingredient conscience natural then you should know that this product does contain petrolatum.

 

Overall:

I dont think I personally would purchase this product. Considering all the good things I have heard about the Dr. Miracle products, I was disappointed. But to each their own, and it may work for you.

 

**This product can be purchased at your local beauty supply store, Walmart and other national chains**

Review: Intimia Breast Pillow

I love reviewing new products and when I was asked to review this product there was no way I could say no. The product that I am reviewing is the Intimia Breast Pillow. Here is what it looks like:

Ok, now the idea for this product is to prevent winkles and improve exsiting ones women may have in their cleavage area. It also helps with women who are breastfeeding or who may have had breast surgery and may have tender breast. It was designed by registered cosmetic nurse, Irene Komsky. After 20 years, she began to notice how self-conscience women were about the lines in their chest. The pillow sits between the breast and seperates the breast and the straps fit like a racerback bra.


My Review:

So the first thing you have to do is adjust the straps, normal. I had a really hard time getting this straps adjusted which almost discouraged me from putting it on. But I finally got it on. Now once you have it on (against your bare skin), your ready for a good nights sleep. I dont sleep on my side all night, but it does stay in place if you toss and turn.

Now, you can feel the pillow on you while you sleep, and depending on your own personal, it may or may not bother you. Me personally, I dont like to sleep in bras so this is something that I am not comfortable with. Along with the straps rubbing my neck. Overall, I dont know that I would spend $59.95 to purchase this product. Im sure for women who are breastfeeding or who have had surgery, this pillow will do wonders.
