Not your Mother's Beach Babe Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner

October 03, 2015

Hi!

I recently I was lucky again and Influenter.com selected me to receive the Fiesta VoxBox. Last time, I received the Fresca VoxBox, I got a sample of Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Purifying Shampoo and Conditioner. Well, this time I got a sample of their Beach Babe Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner (#NYMBeachBabe). If you read my previous review, then you know that I really liked their Clean Freak line especially the shampoo so once I ran out my shampoo, i went to the store to get me a full size but I was only able to get the Beach Babe Moisturizing shampoo. I read in the description of the bottle that it was infused with coconut oil so I thought if I liked the other one and this one claims to be moisturizing, it might work great on my curly hair. Well, I was wrong.

 CLAIMS: 

 

  • Environmentally Friendly
  • Cleans the hair without using harsh chemicals ( such as sulfates, silicones, parabens or dyes)
  • In addition, it is biodegradable (meaning that it won't clog your pipes or your pores.
  • Gently cleanses, hydrates and adds volume with an infusion of cocounut oil and Sea Kelp.


THOUGHTS:



While I had some experience with the shampoo prior to Influenster.com sent me a sample, I had not tried their conditioner and also the consistency has changed. I hated and still do, the texture of the shampoo since my first time I used it. Because it is thick and it takes a lot of squeezing and pressing to get the product out of the tube. I can't image how it is going to be when I am about to use it up. Also, since the formula is so thick you have to massage it in your hands prior to apply it because otherwise you will have more shampoo in some areas of your hair and little on others. However, as you massage it in it becomes like a regular shampoo. I know, some of you might be thinking, "relax, it does not seem like it should be that hard" but I am being honest, I really, really do not like the texture. One last comment on this topic, while comparing my full size and the sample I got from influenster, I noticed that the texture was different. I got the reformulated version and the one from influenster might be the older version and that is why it is more like the regular shampoo texture.




On the topic of being good for the hair, it does has good ingredients and it does not include harsh and damaging ingredients. So I like that aspect about it. As you know, I have curly hair and my hair tends to react best to gentle and mild cleansers that do not stripped my hair out of moisture. This is a nice shampoo but my hair does feel dry afterwards so I do not like that. I does do a nice job at cleaning my hair and adding shine.

CLAIMS:


  • Environmentally Friendly
  • Cleans the hair without using harsh chemicals ( such as sulfates, silicones, parabens or dyes)
  • In addition, it is biodegradable (meaning that it won't clog your pipes or your pores.
  • Gently gently conditions, hydrates and adds volume with an infusion of coconut oil.


THOUGHTS:



Since the shampoo leaves my hair thirsty for moisture, I hoped that conditioner would help me. It is a pretty decent conditioner. But I have to use a lot to bring back the life of my hair so it is not budget friendly. It does has slip and it makes detagling easy and it has a really nice smell like coconuts. I really like the smell so refreshing. The texture is almost like a light leave-in conditioner or a styling milk. So you can imaging that why you would feeling like you have to use a lot. It is not my favorite.





In this picture you can see the dryness of my hair afterwards, especially the hair close to my scalp.






WOULD I REPURCHASE IT?



The answer is no. The conditioner is alright but it is not amazing enough for me to buy three bottles per shampoo. It would be to expensive plus I would not be doing much for my hair. The shampoo is out of the question, I am so sad that they changed the formula. Perhaps it was for added hydration but it does not do that at all. I love the scent but individually or together, they do not bring new or better benefits for my hair. I would not recommend it to curly hair people.


Please remember that although I received these samples for free, these are my honest opinions about the products.




Thank you :D
