Wayment… a 30-minute wash day? Say WHAT now?! Yes!
As a mom, my wash routine can’t be a whole production. Nope, no wash DAY! I need ALL of the do-it-quickly, convenient things so I can get back to mommying and life! With the Hello Gorgeous Hair Care System by Naturalicious, the convenience is right up there with microwaves and sippy pouches.
With just three products, I was able to go from wash to ready-to-style in less than thirty minutes and execute this BOMB twist and curl… everything taking less than an hour! How is that even possible?!
If you’re a veteran to this site, you may recall that I reviewed and styled my hair using this line, then called the Ooh La Locks system but, same stuff. Welp, the “secret” is all in the Moroccan Rhassoul 5-in-1 Clay Treatment which does the work of FIVE products: a detoxifying cleanser, a detangler, a smoothing conditioner, deep conditioner AND a leave-in. You basically complete five steps with this one product which saves you beaucoup time!
Why it Works
First, this ain’t your mother’s shampoo! This treatment is what we might call a “no-poo”, so don’t expect bubbles and lather. The main ingredient, Moroccan Rhassoul Clay, works to gently detoxify your hair and scalp, removing excess buildup while you reap the conditioning benefits of Cocoa Butter, Aloe Vera Juice and Olive Oil. In short, it does all of the things!
It leaves my hair feeling super manageable and soft to the touch, my scalp refreshed and my curls and coils are POPPIN! When a product can do all of this in one shot, a 30 minute wash day is almost a guarantee!
Styling Products
Step one alone will save you oodles of time but why stop there? The benefits continue with the Moisture Infusion Styling Crème. It adds moisture, aids in styling to define and provide a soft hold, and acts as a heat protectant with ingredients like glycerin and shea butter. Coconut oil, sunflower oil and vitamin E condition the strands to help you retain length and promote healthy hair growth.
I’d say it has a moderately thick consistency, melts into the hair rather quickly with no residue and is super hydrating! In case you were wondering, yes, it smells amazing too!
I love a good oil for sealing in the moisture and the Divine Shine Moisture Lock & Frizz Fighter, does that and more! This light oil doesn’t only lock in moisture but can be used as a hot oil treatment, for smoothing straight styles, and to add sheen without a greasy buildup. Nourishing oils help strengthen the hair and fight frizz all while keeping it soft and manageable.
Okay, now that you’ve got the background, watch me work my complete wash and style routine in under an hour… and how Naturalicious got me feelin’ myself!
