The Doux Pop Lock Wash And Go Review

 

DOUX Pop Lock

This is a new product by The Doux.Com.  This product boosts that it will give your hair:  shine, definition, it resists humidity but most of all "keep curls Poppin" for days!

What's in the product?  Honey, Argan Oil, Keratin Amino Acids, and Silk Amino Acids.

I picked up the product after coming across some YouTube reviews by some Natural Hair Content Creators.  I liked what I saw and decided to take a trip to Walmart to pick the product up.  There were plenty of bottles on the shelf.  My first observation was the size of the bottle.  It is 8 fluid ounces but looked quite small a bottle to tackle the task of a Wash N' Go!

This product is part of The Doux Wash And Go Collection.  The price of the bottle varies from $12.99 to $15.99 and can be found at places like Walmart and Sally's.  This product can also be purchased from The Doux's website for $14.99.

This item is described as a 5-Day Curl Forming Glaze.  On their site you will find glowing reviews of this product.  There is a review that the reviewer states that it does not work on 4C hair.  

HERE IS MY REVIEW:

My hair texture is 3C and in the back of my head more like 4.  I noticed that the product is a glaze which should be a great choice for those in the 2 to 3C range.  The product is clear and has a water-like consistency, which made it hard to judge as to how much to use.  Now, one user said that followed the directions and did not get the desired results.  The directions on the bottle are:  1.  Apply to clean, wet hair.  2.  Rake or Shingle from roIot to ends.  3. Diffuse or Hood-Dry.  For best results -- DO NOT Apply Oil prior to use.   

It may be the application of a leave-in also that may not render the results that one is looking for.  I did not use oil or a leave-in since most of the Content Creators were touting this product as a ONE PRODUCT Wash N' Go solution.  

My difficulty with this item was that because of its watery consistency that I could not properly gauge whether I was using enough or too much of the product.  I did not Shingle my hair because I used the Bounce Curl brush and the texture of my hair is 3C and fine.  So, on average, it doesn't take much to get my hair to clump well.

The product did go on well, and I did have the normal long air-drying time that I would usually have with other products that I normally use for my Wash-N-Go.  I did have crunch, I may have used "too much" of the product but it did provide great shine and did keep down the usually "frizzy" 4 area in the back of my head.  When wearing a Wash-N-Go I will wash or "Refresh" my Wash-N-Go on the 3rd day.  

Honestly, I don't see me getting the 5-day but 3 or 4 day hair is extremely possible.  

MY FINAL OPINION:

Personally, I would not recommend it for texture 4A and above hair types unless you want the added shine and frizz control that this product can help with.  Secondly, as with most products, there is a learning curve when using "Pop Lock."  Economical another product may be more worth it to me because of the consistency of this product.  The size of the bottle (8 ounces) may last me three Wash-N-Go sessions.  Will I use up the bottle?  Yes.  Will I repurchase?  No.

If you used it and had different results or you liked the product, leave me a comment.

Winter Hair Care

Now that the winter is upon us, the need for a change in our hair routine is also necessary.  Things that we should adjust:

• Wash Hair Less Often. Use this time to “leave your hair alone” or give it a winter rest. Less shampooing means less manipulation, product build-up, and gives you a lead way to employ protective styling.
•       Pay Attention to Your Scalp.  Use a scalp treatment like “Jane Carter’s Scalp Nourishing Serum” to energize your scalp while protecting against bacteria and fungus.
•       Do not Forget to Moisture at Night.  Using a clear, conditioning cap will do the trick.  Lightly spritz your hair with water or your favorite liquid leave-in, cover with cap, and wrap with a scarf and you will wake of with slightly damp hair that you can shake and go.
•       Deep Condition Your Tresses.  Winter is harsh on the body and hair.  Take time to pamper your hair with a deep conditioner of choice and watch your favorite TV show, movie or read a book.
•        Trim Those Tresses!  This is a good time to trim those thin, see-through ends and prepare for summer styling!
• Stay Away from Humectants!  PRODUCT ALERT!  In the winter, humectants, like glycerin, will pull moisture from your hair and release it into the winter air. This is the natural act of humectants,  In the spring and summer or humid climates, humectants will pull moisture from the atomosphere into our tresses!  Therefore, this will cause a change in the products that you use in warmer climates if you use products with humectants.

Keep It Covered!  Make sure to cover your tresses with a hat or scarf to protect your ends and hair from the harsh and drying winds of winter.  I will usually use a clear conditioning cap or a scarf under a hat and when I get to work shake and style my hair.  Protecting your hair against rubbing against the material of your head wear will keep your strands protected.

No matter what the weather, your natural tresses desire MOISTURE!  Give it what it wants, and it will BEHAVE!

Love your curls!

Conditioner Only 30-Day Challenge with Tresemme Naturals

$4.86 Walmart/$5.37 Amazon.com for 25 fl. ounces

When I first Big Chopped and had about an all over inch of hair on my head, grooming my tresses was easy and carefree.  At that time, however, I used a lot of gel.  I didn't mind then because I redid my hair EVERYDAY by jumpimp in the shower, applying my leave-in and then using my hands to smooth through the gel.

As my hair continued to get longer, I realized that I had to change my routine.  I than tried YouTuber MahoghanyCurls method of "only" using her conditioner as a leave-in and "styler."  My hair grew nicely and continued to retain length.

I then started writing my blog and started trying out different products.  Looking for the "Holy Grail" product that would make my daily routine and regiment simply, easy, and effective.  Until one day I realized that my hair wasn't retaining the moisture like it had been when I was using the "Only Conditioner" method.  

So, I decided to do a 30-day Only Conditioner method.  I started on May 25, 2013, and I will continue until June 25, 2013.  After only a few days, my curls were shiny, bouncy, and lively!

My Regimen

• Shampoo (no sulfate) or Co-Wash Tresses
• Apply My Tresemme Naturals Conditioner
• Section, Detangle, and Comb Through Section
• Twist Each Section
• Cover Hair for the Night with a Clear Hair Conditioning Cap
• Hair is DAMP not DRIPPING wet!
• In the Morning - Take Cap Off and Unloose Sections and Smooth Hair
• Allow Hair to Dry While Preparing for Work

Second Day - Third Day:

• Spritz Hair with PLAIN water
• Section Hair in Large Quarters
• Twist Hair 
• Place Cap On Hair for the Night
• Repeat Morning Routine

Ingredients:
Water; Stearyl Alcohol; Cetyl Alcohol; Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride; Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine; Fragrance; Lauroyl Lysine; Caprylyl Glycol; Brassica Campestris/Aleurites Fordi Oil Copolymer; Aspartic Acid; Distearyldimonium Chloride; Persea Gratissima Oil (Avocado) (USDA Certified Organic Ingredient); Citric Acid; Alcohol; Isopropyl Alcohol; Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (USDA Certified Organic Ingredient)

The TRESemmé Naturals Nourishing Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner system, with natural aloe vera extract and avocado oil, moisturizes your hair to help protect from damage and breakage. Gentle cleansing and lightweight conditioning for hair that will feel healthy, manageable and smooth. Discover 10x stronger hair after just one use.* This natural conditioner has no dyes, is hypoallergenic, silicone-free and safe for color treated hair.
How it Works

The Formulation: This silicone-free conditioner is hypoallergenic, dye-free, safe for colored hair and is infused with Aloe Vera and Avocado extracts, delivering softness, strength and shine.

The Effect: Hair that's hair 10X stronger--after just one use.* This natural conditioner can protect all hair types from damage and breakage.

Recommended For: Dry Hair. All Hair Types. Straight Hair. Curly Hair. Damage Repair.

**Measured as breakage when combing vs. non-conditioning shampoo.

How to Use

1. Start with TRESemmé Naturals Nourishing Moisture Shampoo.
2. First apply an adequate amount from mid-shaft to ends. Work anything that's left through roots.
3. Run a wide-tooth comb or fingers from roots to ends to detangle and fully coat hair.
4. Leave on 2-3 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Finish with your favorite TRESemmé styling aids as needed.

My hair simply LOVES the stuff!  Hair is bouncy and moisturized for the duration, until I rinse out or shampoo and reapply.  The conditioner is light enough not to weigh my 3b-4 hair type down and adds a nice shine without using gel.

Remember to always SMOOTH your product onto every strand to get even coverage and better use of the product.  I found that applying some products on DAMP hair will give you better results.
