How many times do you try a new product before giving it your final verdict? I like to try my new products more than once before I decide if I love it or hate it; I hardly ever fall in love with a product the first time using it. Sometimes, I have to experiment with it by applying it different ways, or mixing it with another product to find the best results. However, once in a blue I’ll find a gem when it’s just love at first try! This Adore Botanicals line was indeed one of those gems. I absolutely loved my results the first time around, no experimenting needed!

I mean look at those results! On the left is my hair (looking a hot mess…haha) unwashed and ready for some major loving. On the right are my results after using Adore Botanicals deep conditioning treatment and styling products. Oh and here’s another major plus about this product line!…Not only was this product formulated to nourish your hair, it can also be used to nourish your skin! Yes, that’s right these products can be used to promote healthy skin as well. A product that can nourish your hair AND skin is a winner in my book! To Achieve the look on the right I used the following Adore Botanicals products:

  1. Daily DewIndulgent Hair & Body Oil as a deep oil treatment
  2. Blooming Moisture MistDaily Moisturizing Leave-In Conditioner as a leave-in
  3. Florets & CremeIntensely Nourishing Moisturizer to style

The “Daily Dew” worked wonders as a treatment! I parted my hair into four sections and saturated each section with the oil from the ends up to the roots. (Note: Be careful not to over do it with the oil to avoid a greasy aftermath). I used a plastic bag to cover my hair and left the treatment on for about forty-five minutes. After the forty-five minutes passed I washed my hair as usual. This oil treatment was everything! I hardly had to detangle my hair afterwards, it had melted away almost all of my knots. My hair was super soft after just one use and my scalp felt so fresh and so clean, clean! (hehe). I will probably start using this treatment every other week, that’s how much I loved the results. I then sprayed the “Blooming Moisture Mist” all over my hair. I always like to leave some conditioner in my hair after washing it, so I was excited that this line had a leave-in conditioner spray. The combination of the oil treatment along with the leave-in spray left my hair looking shiny (not greasy) and healthy. Lastly, I used the “Florets & Creme” to style my curls. I was a little skeptical at first to use the creme as a styling product because I usually don’t use hair cream on my freshly washed hair. The reason behind that is, hair cream is not the best product for my curl type. When I use creams on my freshly washed tresses it tends to weigh down my curls, not allowing them to curl up as tight as I like my curls to be. To my surprise, that was not the case at all. I was surprised to see how well the creme was defining my curls, it was like Spring in my hair as all my curls were springing up for joy! That had to be the cherry on top, I had fallen in love. The picture doesn’t do it justice, I wish I had documented the stages of my curls as they were drying, the creme had formed my hair into perfectly defined little ringlets all over. Due to my rushing out the house that evening, I had to wait until the next day to take the photo. But it just goes to show how good my hair still looked for it to be “second day hair”. Altogether, these products left my hair just SUPER soft! My hair was the softest I have ever felt it, I could actually somewhat run my fingers through my it. This was an awesome line and I’m so glad I tried it! I suggest you do the same!

Here’s a little bonus for you guys, I recorded how I applied each product. Press play to check it out!
