My Millcreek Keratin Conditioner Experience (Thanks Black Geisha
):
My first reaction: This conditioner smells very good! Like sweets or candy or something. Consistency is smooth and loose, slightly reminiscent of of Giovanni smooth as silk or their Direct leave-in, but perhaps a tad creamier. It's spreads very easily and you only need a small amount due to its consistency.
How I used it: I shampooed my hair with Everyday Shea Moisturizing Shampoo then applied the Millcreek Keratin conditioner mixed with avocado oil on my hair and left it on for about 10-15 minutes without heat. When I rinsed it out I could definitely tell I just did a protein treatment-felt stronger and slightly rougher than usual, but the conditioner rinsed out easily and my hair felt pretty good and even had a bit of slip. Afterward I deep conditioned with AOHSR mixed with some infused EVOO that I have and honey and DC'd with that for about 15-20 minutes w/heat.
The results: I liked it a lot! Definitely going to be a staple in my routine. My hair feels stronger and more elastic, but not jarringly so. My hair still feels very soft and smooth. Most keratin reconstructors make my hair feel over proteinified (is that a word?
), even if I follow up with a moisturizing treatment. This one was great and I like that it did not contain mineral oil, which has a tendency of weighing my hair down a lot. So, if you're interested in trying this conditioner, I definitely think it's worth it
