Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer

I’ve been using the Elasta QP Olive Oil & Mango Butter Moisturizer for about 3 months now and I can honestly say that I have no problems using this product on my hair daily. There are so many factors that contribute to making this product a huge success. For starter the ingredients, the product do not contain mineral oil or petroleum (BIG SMILE), and the second ingredient after water of course is olive oil. Another factor is the smell, this product as a matter of fact the entire mango butter line has this fresh, sweet mango smell with to me a hint of lemony freshness. When you first open the jar it has a bright yellow colour (like that of butter/margarine), but it smells like some kind of mango fruit pie, yogurt or something of that nature. I love applying this to my hair and the going throughout the day and smelling the product in the slightest wind. Thirdly is the fact that it does exactly what is says it is going to do. The package says:

Believe me when I tell you that it does everything above and more. I apply this to my hair at nights before wrapping and I then apply the mango butter growth oil on top (also another love). I tend to use this product anything from 2 weeks – 12 weeks post. I use the product on all styles that I have tried, however there are some styles that will limit the amount of product you can use. Like if I’m wearing a ponytail I will use small amount for my entire hair. This is to avoid the heavy look on my ponytail, because the product is a thick crème. However when I am wearing a bun or another protective style I will use a good amount for my entire hair. I use this on my braid out and twist outs and my hair just has the juicy life it needs and shine.

Pros:

• Moisturises
• Smell
• Texture – crème not liquid/runny
• No Mineral Oil / Petroleum
• Provides a slight shine

Cons:

• A bit heavy if too much product is used
• Jar way too small
