Product Review: VO5 Tea Therapy Clarifying Conditioner

So in my staple products post I mentioned how I LOVE Vo5 conditioners for their quality and affordability and when I decided to take out my box braids (impulse decision) I purchased a few new Vo5 conditioners to try. Among those conditioners was the Vo5 Tea Therapy Vanilla Mint Tea Clarifying Conditioner. So let's get started! What do most Curlies want to know about a product/conditioner?

What's a clarifying conditioner? 

Simply put, a clarifying conditioner can cleanse better then most because it has ingredients that naturally clarify or rid he hair/scalp of impurities, gunk etc. It can also condition and moisturize because after all it's a conditioner!

How did I use it? 

I used the product as a Co-wash/protectant with my clarifyng shampoo. This is something I only do if it's been a while since I washed/cleansed my hair and scalp, although I think the conditioner would have sufficed on it's own due to the very small amount of shampoo I used. Just so you know how I used it: 1. I wet my hair slightly. Not soaked but damp and then apply the conditioner to my entire head and work it in for good coverage. 2. I wet my hair again and work the conditioner on some more but not to rinse it out. 3. Put a pea size of my clarifying shampoo into my hands and start a latter in my hands. 4. Apply shampoo to my conditioner soaked hair and massage.

What does it smell like? 

It literally smells like vanilla and a sweet mint. I love the smell!! I mean I love anything vanilla but this scent is he bomb to me..lol. It's fresh and light and doesn't interfere with the other products I use which is important to me. For those that don't like tea it doesn't have a tea smell so no worries! 

Properties?

This conditioner is not a super thick creamy cream. I would say it's creamy enough and isn't thick but it's no super runny either. It had great slip for detangling and made my wash so easy! It left no residue in my hair which is always something to look for. It also left my hair super soft and curly (my 3c hair). And that was before my deep condition. 

The Wrap-Up

Overall, this conditioner looks like a GREAT option for a new co-wash!! With the price and results I experienced it just makes sense to stock up. Although I love the As I Am co-wash I love that Vo5 is in a bottle and cost anywhere from $.79 to $1.00!!!! More reviews on the Vo5 conditioners I'm trying and other products in the future! 

Thanks for reading and Stay Koily & Kute ;-*
