NOW! Here's my review!

1. Packaging of product
        The packaging was a complete fail! I had alot of time when I was checking out hair products at the store, if not I'd never even spare it a glance, I should have taken a picture of how it was packaged at the store, it was wrapped carelessly with a transparent packaging paper, yesh!   
      what caught my eye was the coconut oil and herbs that was written on it. When I picked it up to check the ingredient, I was quite happy with the ingredients.
      The ingredients were so much it kinda freaked me, like how did she manage to throw all that together? Some ingredients I'd never heard of before like; Bergamot oil, saint basil (what in the world is that?) And wait, banana Jam?

      The spelling mistake on the tub was so unprofessional that I felt like dropping the product, thinking the "manufacturer" wasn't really serious.
      Take a look at "RETOURCHING" which was meant to be retouching,  it was written in capital letters to make matters worse.
       Next take a look at "Placenta" in the ingredients,  my first thought was "Heck no, I aint putting someone's placenta on my head, how did she get her hands on someone's placenta?  Yuck!", but I'm sure she/he meant Placentyne.

2. Not so truthful.

   When i opened the tub, i was greeted with a smell so "powerfully awful" i closed it immediately....yuck.
   It has a pungent smell, I don't know what is causing the smell, but when I checked online, I saw comments saying it had alcohol and  sulfur. Alcohol? that aint good, later on I found out from another comment that it was a preservative.
   The alcohol and preservative got me wondering, what if there were other ingredients that weren't hair friendly that wasn't listed or what if all those ingredients listed above were not actually there.
    The herbs listed in the ingredients would make me wonder less if they actually told us the herb?.

3. 4 days action?

    I can only laugh at this, I didn't bother about that because that is naija way of selling their products, "2 days the waist pain go clear!" Haha love my country.

4. Use of the product.

     As you can see In the ingredients,  this product has no water, so I don't use it as a moisturizer but as a sealant.

5. How to use the product.

     You can use it as your deep conditioner, or for your hot oil treatment, if you can stand the smell then you can use it as a sealant every other day.

6. Does it live up to its words?

   Do you mean the 4 days action? Then no! But with all those ingredients it is healthy for the hair depending on how you use it.

7. Would I re-use this product?

     If I find something better and natural, then it could get replaced, if not then yes I would re-use it.

8. Cost
      I got mine for 300 naira which is not expensive.
