OMG!Longhairlovers Luxe Leave-in Treatment May Replace My Holy-grail Giovanni Direct!

SherryLove · #1 02-20-2009, 01:08 PM

Let me tell you, ladies, I never ever envisioned another product being able to replace my holy-grail leave-in conditioner Giovanni Direct Leave-in (which I have been using for a little over ten years now) until I discovered Longhairlovers Luxe Leave-in treatment.

As I was recently browsing through some haircare articles on longhairlovers.com, I decided to check out their new haircare products. What made the products stand out to me were some of their ingredients: organic aloe vera, organic shea butter, panthenol, jojoba oil, wheat germ oil, emu oil, and essential oils of thyme, lavender, rosemary and cedarwood. What a bunch of haircare goodies I thought to myself. The products that really caught my eyes were the shampoo bar, shea-mu butter, and the leave-in treatment. I decided to purchase the shampoo bar and the leave-in treatment from www.growbeautifulhair.com which was selling the products slightly cheaper than longhairlovers.com was. I wanted to purchase the shea-mu butter as well, but I just could not bring myself to pay $34 for only two ounces worth of product.

I received the shampoo bar and leave-in treatment in less than a week. I could not wait to try the leave-in the treatment. As she was applying the new product to my hair this morning, my hair dresser remarked, "Oooh, I like this better. It goes on smoother and makes your hair much softer, Mami." Now I really coud not wait to see how my hair would look and feel after I removed the rollers. Well, ladies, my hair was much softer and silkier than it isually is and felt stronger at the same time. I will give this product a three-month trial period to see how my hair continues to respond to it. And, if all goes well, I may very well dtich my holy-grail Giovanni Direct and replace it with my new holy-grail Longhairlovers Luxe Leave-in. Or maybe I will continue to use both of them... who knows.....

And it's completely biodegradable with minimal packaging to pollute the earth.

All-in-all, it's the perfect combination for people with extra dry or processed hair who don't want to worry about spills when traveling and who are concerned with keeping plastic bottles out of landfills.

Aww SL, my first hair idol. It's nice to see you on the board again. Luckily for me (or not

) I'm in the No Buy Challenge so will pass for now. Keep us posted on whether this continues to be a Hit.

covers eyes and leaves thread.

$400, no way no how never in a million years. That is crazy! This oil better have hands that wash my hair and style it as well. Matter fact I better put one drop on and my hair better be styled. These better be some MAGIC drops. MY goodness. Talk about taking advantage.

newflowers · #16 02-20-2009, 09:04 PM

The ingredient list has me all hot and bothered. I've been searching and reading reviews for the last 30ish minutes. I have so many products and just received a big order from Polly's. BUT I will definitely try this - I want the whole system. Please post regularing with updates. I would really like to know what you think over time.

I am an extreme PJ and I just found my bottle of Longhairlovers Luxe Leave-in Treatment in the dark recesses of my PJ cabinet

. I decided to use it after I co-wash with the Longhairlovers Luxe Therapeutic Conditioner. It feels great on my natural 4b TWA...real soft hair I've never tried any of the Giovanni products to compare against this, but so far, so good with the Longhairlovers conditioners.

As far as the "Rare Oil" is concerned, ain't no way, no how I'm THAT big of a PJ!

danigurl18 · #19 02-20-2009, 09:38 PM

I really want some but the Giovanni direct seems more in my price range...

newflowers · #20 02-20-2009, 10:23 PM

I like the idea of the rare oil, and the ingredients used to make it are expensive - I checked. I'll bet it would be possible to blend a very similar oil myself for significantly less - still expensive - but less than $400.
