I do not talk about hair very often here on the blog but I assure you I do have it and I have occasional waves of wanting to take care of it and keep it nourished. A little background about myself and hair, I am a licensed cosmetologist who was raised by another licensed cosmetologist so I have lived my entire life around hair care and styling and that makes me quite picky and discerning when it comes to product I use and believe in. This is also why I don't talk about hair care very much because I rarely find products worth mentioning, since going cruelty-free some years ago haircare remains the most challenging beauty category for me to find suitable product for my hair texture and needs. I have super curly/kinky hair that's very prone to dryness so I'm always looking for ways to hydrate and deep conditioners are the core of my haircare routine.
I have been following Briogeo for a few years now and have found myself very attracted to their brand, both esthetically as well as their non-use of silicones in their formula. I don't believe silicones are the devil when it comes to hair care but it's something I only want to see in styling products rather than products I'm applying to my hair to feed and provide nutrition to my strands. Previously I have used their co-wash or cleansing conditioner and I really enjoyed it for what I needed it for, nice slip for detangling if you also have curly hair.
A few of my truths on hair maintenance and repair
- Nothing will fuse together your spilt ends CUT. THEM. OFF.
- If your hair is over processed, deep conditioner can slow down the breakage but your hair will never be the same until the last of the over processed hair is cut off.
Why do you have to cut off the damage?
- Damage migrates, hair splits up the shaft and not cutting it may cause the breakage to affect the new and healthy portion of your hair.
