After a week of battling a respiratory infection, which involved sweating my hair out under the blankets and coughing my lungs up, I felt pretty gross. My skin was dry, my face was peeling and my hair was a mess! I knew I needed an at-home spa day to get myself together and my hair definitely needed some TLC so, I decided to use the time to try out the My Honey Child samples that I recently received, and I'm glad I did! 
Banana Crème Scalp Cleanser, Honey and Horsetail Reconstructor and Cognac &Vanilla Bean Hair Texturizer
Step #1: Banana Crème Scalp Cleanser
I started out by cleansing my hair with the Banana Crème Scalp Cleanser. The cleanser came in a bright yellow hue and had a very distinct banana smell that was very similar to a banana crème custard or banana flavored Laffy Taffy, yum! The banana scented cleanser had a nice, thick consistency and was easy to apply to my hair without it running everywhere. The cleanser was low-sudsing and didn't leave my hair feeling stripped of any moisture at all. In fact, my hair actually felt soft and moisturized and my scalp felt exceptionally clean. I had a lot of product build-up and after two good washes my hair felt a lot more refreshed.
"A sulfate-free formula that repairs, strengthens and moisturizes brittle hair. Formulated with Sunflower Seed Extract and Vitamin E for color-treated hair that is severely dry and damaged."
Ingredients: Vegetable sulfate-free base, Vitamin B5, banana powder, glycerin, aloe leaf, soy & oat protein, chamomile, sunflower seed extract, Vitamin E, chickweed, organic olive oil, extractive of organic turmeric, fragrance, phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol (Optiphen®).
Step #2: Honey and Horsetail Reconstructor
I followed up with the Honey and Horsetail Reconstructor as my deep conditioner. I applied the product in sections and worked it from the roots to the ends of my hair. I applied a plastic conditioning cap and although the product said to leave it in for about 15 minutes, I actually left it in for about 40 minutes. After I rinsed the Honey and Horsetail reconstructor from my hair, I immediately noticed that my hair was softer and easier to detangle. Just what I needed for my thirsty roots!

Step #3: Cognac & Vanilla Bean Texturizer
I decided to apply the Cognac & Vanilla Bean Texturizer to my hair in sections. I didn't immediately notice a difference in the definition of my curls but the label stated that the product would "allow pliable hold, separate and support hair". I decided to just use it as a leave-in conditioner because it contained beneficial ingredients and isn't a product that you have to wash out. I used the Cognac texturizer as the first step of my L.O.C. method routine, followed by a carrot oil blend and then Shea Butter. I twisted my hair and the following morning, my hair was super soft, defined and smelled lovely!
"Designed to give your hair texture and definition without gunky build up. With just enough hold and brilliant shine, your tresses will be tamed and polished. Allows pliable hold and control, also separates and supports hair."
Ingredients: Hydrogenated castor oil, glycerin and vegetable-derived gel, shea butter, cocoa butter ,pure essential oils of organic vanilla, pink grapefruit, clementine and blood orange, fragrance ,a splash of cognac, phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol (Optiphen®).
Overall Verdict:
I can't say that I was disappointed in any of the My Honey Child products. The Banana Crème Cleanser left my hair clean and smelling like a banana crème pie. My hair soaked up the Honey and Horsetail Reconstructor and I could feel a huge difference in the before and after of using this product. The Cognac & Vanilla Bean Hair Texturizer was the icing on the cake and worked well as a leave-in conditioner and holding aid for defined twist-outs. Overall, I would recommend you try the My Honey Child products for yourself and you won't be disappointed!
