Just Add Water Product Review


Another naturalista in Freeport (Bahamas) recently launched a line of products under the brand "Just Add Water". Her product line consists of Hair Butter, Skin Butter, and Hair Oil. I will be reviewing the Hair Butter and the Hair Oil. 

My boyfriend will be doing a review of the skin butter. Since his line of work requires frequent hand washing that will result in dryness and also frequent use of his hands I asked him to review the product. Stay tuned for that :)

Now on with the review :

Hair Butter





Ingredients:



Consistency:
I absolutely LOVE the consistency of this product! It has the texture of whipped Shea butter and it is moisturizing but not too greasy.
Price:
The current price of this product is $20


Hair Oil


Ingredients:
The Hair Oil has the same ingredients as the Hair Butter except for the Shea Butter.
Price:
The current price of this product is $15


Review:
I used the hair butter to twist my hair for my Bantu knots and I used the hair oil to unravel them in the morning. Just so that you know, since I have started exercising heavily (5-6 times a week for 35min-1hr) Bantu knot outs have NOT been the business for me because they take too long to dry and by the time I am done working out they are soaked again. But nevertheless I still decided to try them again.


Here is a picture before taking them out:






Here is a picture of the bantu knots unraveled (hair is still WET...OMG):


So, it looks a mess because it was still WET (ugh!!!) but my hair was still moisturized. I know this may be so random but, I have no clue where this color on the ends of my hair is coming from :(



Here is a picture of how I styled it:






Overall, I LOVE the products. The hair butter reminds me of the whipped Shea Butter that I usually make at home and can be used for twisting  or braiding for twist outs or braid outs, flat twists, two strand twists or sealing your ends and much more!I would definitely recommend these products for use. I also love the containers that the products come in.


The only negative (VERY SMALL NEGATIVE) would be the scent. Personally I do not like the scent of Tea Tree or Eucalyptus oil but I know that the scents are strong but these two oils are VERY GOOD for your hair!
