Diva Smooth



JANELLE BEAUTY DIVA SMOOTH




Diva Smooth is a natural alternative to traditional chemical relaxers. The finely tuned mixture of natural ingredients when applied together with a flat iron create smooth, shiny hair without breakage or hair loss. It is so gentle that it can be left on overnight, says Anika Janelle Pettiford, founder of Janelle Beauty.”

Product Description
Diva Smooth is a pure natural alternative to chemical based hair relaxers. Diva Smooth is based on a finely tuned mixture of all natural ingredients that when applied, your hair comes out naturally smooth and healthy

Size: 8 oz

Ingredients: Organic Raw Wild Honey, Olea Europaea (Organic Olive) Oil, Sucrose (Sugar) Extract, Zea Mays Starch, Organic Lemo Extract, Vineger, Vitamin E, blend of essential oils.


Below is a list of ingredients from My Healthy Hair Journey Blog Dated:  1-24-2009.  Since the list currently on the site is so different, I can only assume that over the years the product has undergone some ingredient changes.  However, that list is below:

Aloe Vera - Organic - Used medicinally for over 3,000 years. A rich emollient known to promote healing

Grapeseed Oil- Organic - Grapeseed oil is rich in flavonoids, phytochemicals that have antioxidant properties some consider even greater than vitamin C and vitamin E.

Glycerin Extract - Glycerin is a humectant, drawing moisture to hair, allowing it to remain hydrated and soft.

Honey - Adds shine and moisture to hair and helps prevent breakage.

Olive oil - Organic - Obtained from ripe olives grown around the Mediterranean. Contains protein, minerals and vitamins.

Palm Oil - Organic - Palm oil gives hair its natural strength and radiance.

Jojoba Oil - Organic - The molecular structure of jojoba is very similar to the natural oil that is produced by the sebaceous glands in the scalp known as sebum. It is a well-known fact that sebum is required in maintaining healthy supple hair. Hair that has a good moisture basis tends to be more resistant to daily damage, tangles, dryness and split ends. Jojoba oil comes from the jojoba plant.

Lemon Juice - Antibacterial, astringent, promotes new cell generation, regulates sebum production.

Lemon Extract - Antibacterial, astringent, promotes new cell generation, regulates sebum production.

Molasses - Helps restore damaged hair.

Propreitary blend of essential oils - trade secret blend of essential oils.

Peppermint Essential Oil Blend - Great for stimulating the scalp.

Rose Petals extract - promotes regeneration of skin cells. Pure, fresh scent (no synthetic fragrances)

Rosemary Extract - A very effective natural preservative that is high in antioxidants

Shea Butter - Used in Africa for centuries, this nutrient rich butter is high in fatty acids. It contains unique properties that aid in the relief of dry scalp and in restoring luster to hair.

Sucrose - Sugar extracted from sugar cane and sugar beets.

Tea Tree Essential Oil - Grown in the islands of the south Pacific and Australia, Tea Tee Oil helps unblock clogged hair follicles and moisturize the hair.

Vegetable Gum Virgin Coconut Oil - Organic - Reduces the protein loss for both undamaged and damaged hair. Coconut oil, being a triglyceride of lauric acid (principal fatty acid), has a high affinity for hair proteins and, because of its low molecular weight and straight linear chain, is able to penetrate inside the hair shaft.

Vitamin E improves circulation to the scalp. It improves health and growth of hair.

Vinegar - Lauded as a beauty powerhouse. It is derived from apple cider and has traditionally been used to make hair silky and lustrous.

Zea Mays Starch - aka Cornstarch - helps lift dirt, excessive oil and grease from hair. Helps maintain oil balance.




Diva Smooth:

  • Will Help You to Prevent Hair loss and Breakage of Your Tresses
  • Can Be Used as an Alternative Method to Chemical Relaxers
  • All Hair Textures Can Use Diva Smooth and Acquire A Smoother Hair Style

The important thing to remember about this product is that you WILL need some kind of heat implement to produce a straight hair style.

However, Diva Smooth has been deemed a great product for transitioners who have chosen not to do the Big Chop but maintain length and cut their relax tresses gradually.

Pros:

  • This is an "all natural" Product.
  • Alternative to Chemically Processing of Your Tresses
  • All Textures of Hair Can Use
Cons:
  • Benefits are Temporary (4 Weeks)
  • Most Will Have to On-Line Purchase
  • Repetitive Use Could Become Pricey

Until next time!

Happy Curls to You!

First things first.  Let's take a look at it's ingredients:
  • A blend of carefully selected sun-dried herbs

The herbs used in the natural relaxer are completely natural and completely safe. When mixed with the Sahara Clay in the Natural-Laxer MIX and hot water and applied to the hair and skin, it produces miraculous results. This ancient herbal secret has been used dating back to the pharaohs. Available now from Treasured Locks, Natural-Laxer MIX is an advanced spa treatment for your hair and skin that you apply yourself in the comfort of your own home.
