Product Review

My coworker has a short haircut and her curls are really defined. Her hair texture is a 4b. I finally asked her the other day what she was using to define her curls. She said Hair One for Curly Hair. So, the following is a review of Hair One Cleanser and Conditioner with Argan for Curly Hair. FYI - There are other types of Hair One Cleanser and Conditioner that cater to dry hair, dry scalp, and normal hair. I purchased Hair One from Sally's Beauty Supply for $10. 




Hair One claims to cleanse, condition, and improve the overall health of your hair. It is sulfate free and the ingredients are:


Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Amodimethicone, CID 157846, PEG-60 Almond Glycerides, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Argania Spinosa Kernal Oil, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Rosa Roxburghii Fruit Extract, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Menthol, Polysorbate 60, Citric Acid, BHT, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Sorbate, 1, 2-Hexanediol, Hexylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance (Parfum).


Note the cones and alcohol!!! After looking at the ingredients, I was skeptical because I've been told that cones and alcohol are not good for your hair. STRIKE ONE! Nonetheless, I was more concerned about getting that curl definition my coworker was able to achieve with this product. I felt the alcohol in this product might dry the hair out so when testing this product on my husband and sister I applied my homemade curl loosener then the Hair One.

Interview --

What do you think about the curl loosener?
It really makes me want some banana bread for one thing. It smells really good! But seriously, my hair feels very moisturized. 

What do you think about Hair One?
It tingles!! It made my hair look 10 times better and it feels like it has been moisturized. My hair is really soft too. 

Would you use Hair One again?
Absolutely. I'm taking your bottle.

Test #2


My sister's hair before this process:

After Hair One Application:








Interview --

What do you think about the curl loosener?
It smells good and it made my hair soft. 

What do you think about Hair One?
It tingles!! I can actually run my fingers through my hair now. 

Would you use Hair One again?
Sure.

Now, onto me! I tried Hair One on my hair. I'm not even going to post pictures of myself because the before and after pictures look the exact same. My hair did feel good and I could run my fingers through it, BUT it did not give me any curl definition. I like the results on short hair but not long hair.
