Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm by Qhemet Biologics. I purchase this at Epic Curls.
I first used this on freshly washed damp hair. At first it felt moisturized but as my hair dried, the product made it feel really dry. I felt lost as the item claimed to Soften and Hydrates soooooo I went ahead and added my go to products afterwards to bring that moisture back.
The 2nd time I used it, I decided to add my staple leave in on wet hair and then the Balm. Yesssssss was my response.** Pic is of hair still damp with the product**
I realized that sometimes you have to tweek a product to work for you. So I tried again the exact way and it had the same outcome.
My process: Wash, cotton shirt to semi dry hair, creamy leave in done in sections followed by the balm in sections, let dry. A little goes a long way
Now you can probably say that the leave in may had something to do with it.. Either way I am happy that I did not waste money on this product as I have done in the past. And I quote, a little goes a longgggggggg way. No heavy hand-ness necessary.
This Olive & Honey Hydrating Balm also make your curls pop. However, you have to leave them alone and not play in your hair until its completely dry. Yes I know its hard for some of us, But it will be worth it in the end. To add, as you see that at first it did not work for me the way I used it, YES that is very very very frustrating. It happens, don't give up is my matto.
Would I purchase this again? Ummmm not off hand, I feel that I can achieve the same end results with other products I have in my 'staple collection'. But it was fun to try something new though. I do want to try this more so in the summer months though because my theory on this product as it has glycerin, My hair likes that in the warmer/hotter climates.
