This weeks product review is on Alikay Naturals natural hair care line. I have been watching this company on Instagram for a while and have been wanting to try their products. I knew it was time to make my move when they had 40% off for their Black Friday Sale. I chose four products that I can use throughout my whole washday process. What I ordered was their Cowash Me Cleansing Conditioner, Avocado Cream Moisture Repairing Mask, Creme Brulee Curling Delight and Essential 17 Hair Growth Oil. So let's get started.
I started my washday as I always do with a pre-poo of various oils and a little conditioner to help protect my hair. I then got started with Alikay's Cowash Me Cleanser. It's hard to describe the smell so I'll just say tropical and heavenly LOL! The texture is thick and creamy and gave good slip. I really Love how soft my hair felt while washing and especially after. I really Love that this Cowash is Sulfate free, something I always look for in a conditioner. Some of the featured ingredients are Tea Tree Oil which is a antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory essential oil. Jojoba Oil which fills cracks in the hair cuticle to repair dammage, hydrate and encourage hair growth. And Apricot Kernel Oil which softens hair and prevents moisture loss to improve hydration. And of the key ingredients water is listed first which is always a good sign. This is a perfect two in one product. Alikay's Cowash Me Cleanser comes in 2 oz size for $6 (perfect for sampling), 8 oz for $13 and 16 oz for $22. I really Love this cowash it will make a good addition to anyone's hair care regimen.
Next up is Alikay's Avocado Cream Moisture Repairing Mask. The Mask is a thick green cream mask that again I can't really explain the scent but it's like I described the the cowash as being heavenly. I really enjoyed the fragrance. I put the mask on my hair making sure to apply it from root to tip. I then sat under my dryer with a plastic cap for 30 minutes. After, I rinsed it out with cool water to seal in the moisture. And let me tell you my hair was super soft and moist. I think my favorite part about wash day is the deep conditioning. I really Love this mask and it is probably my favorite deep conditioner at the moment. I can't wait to use it again. The featured ingredients listed are Avocado Oil which improves hair elasticity and moisturize scalp. Pepperment Oil to stimulate the hair follicle promoting growth and soothe scalp irritation. And Burdock Root which reduces hair thinning. Of the key ingredients water once again is listed first. This mask comes in 2 oz for $6, 8 oz for $16, 16 oz for $27 and gallon size for$205 ( perfect for salons.) I enjoyed using this mask and plan on making it a staple in my hair care regimen.
Next is Alikay's Creme Brulee Curling Delight. Now this one has the tropical scent of pineapples and it's addicting. After I added my leave-in conditioner and Avocado Oil (L.O.C Method) I added the curling delight. And it was a delight! It helped define my curls but kept them soft to the touch. The featured ingredients listed are Aloe Vera which moisturizes and strengthens. Argan Oil which revives dull dry hair and reduces frizz. And Almond Oil which adds lusture and shine. Some of the key ingredients are Aloe Vera, Agave, Argan Oil and Sweet Almond Oil. Creme Brulee comes in 2 oz for $7, 8 oz for $17 and 16 oz for $29. I love a styling product that helps define my curl pattern without leaving my hair dull and lifeless and Creme Brulee Curling Delight is just that.
And last but not least is Alikay's Essential 17 Growth Oil. I have used this oil twice so far. I try to give my scalp a massage at least three times a week to help stimulate growth. Though I have not used this particular product for long I know for a fact massaging your scalp does work. I big chopped the top of my hair this October 3rd but the sides of my hair have been growing in natural since August (grew out a undercut.) So that's about 2 1/2 inches of growth in 4 months. My hair grows slow so that's a lot to me. So I'm hoping to see good results using this oil. Essential 17 is a custom blend of 17 oils and herbs that are used to stimulate and nourish the hair folicles. I Love the Botanical fragrance. The featured ingredients include Emu Oil which promotes healthy hair growth by nourishing the scalp. Tea Tree Oil an essential oil that breaks down undesirable buildup and residue at the scalp and roots. And a Plant Powder that contains Silica promoting healthy scalp. Essential 17 Growth Oil comes in a 8 oz bottle for $17.
I'll keep reviewing this oil and update later with my results.
I really enjoyed reviewing Alikay Naturals products and glad I was able to take advantage of their Black Friday Sale. It's great that they offer their products in sample sizes so you can see if the products work for you but I do think the price range is a little high. But for really great high quality products I believe it's worth it to pay a little more. Especially if you want the best for your hair. The products are also cruelty free. I received a $50 Sally Beauty Supply Gift card and will be getting some more of Alikay's products soon.
