Design Essentials Natural Almond & Avocado Line REVIEW

 


Hey Dolls,

I am reviewing this entire line that I received in my April 2016 Curl Box. I received the following products:
  • Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Shampoo $11.99 8.0 oz.
  • Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Conditioner $12.99 8.0 oz.
  • Almond & Avocado Detangling Leave-In Conditioner $11.99 8.0 oz.
  • Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse $13

 
Smell 5/5
The smell of this line is pretty awesome. It has a very natural smell that is not overpowering but still smells great.

Shampoo 5/5
The shampoo is pretty awesome it is sulfate free which I love. It is very concentrated so it doe not require you to use a whole lot of it and with a little of water lathers right up. Once on my hair I was able to detangle which was a surprise most shampoos does not have slip and this one had some. It leaves my hair feeling cleaning without feeling stripped, which is a plus as well.

Conditioner 5/5
This is my go to for conditioning!! It has amazing slip and make detangling a breeze! It does require a lot for thicker hair but once it is on it is like your hair is butter.

Leave-In Conditioner 3/5
I did not really like it to be honest. I had to apply another leave in because my hair did not feel moisturized nor did it make my curl pop left it more fluffy, which would be great for blow outs as it is very light weight. It was great for detangling as well. I will try again and update when I straighten my hair at my 1year post big chop.

Mousse (1/5 for natural hair) (5/5 for my wig)
So this really requires two separate review but I will squeeze it in one. I hated this on my natural hair. It did not mix well with any products and it left my hair feeling gummy, which could have been due to product mixing but I did not like it and washed it out. I didn't even let it dry. Now I did apply to my Brazilian curly deep curl wig and it was awesome it didn't leave a film or leave a super crunchy feeling and I still use it for that hair. I also did a flexi-rod set on the wig with  it and loved it as well .
