After my very negative review of a Dollar Tree beauty item in my last post, I feel the need to balance things out with a much more positive one. For the most part, when I take a chance and buy make-up, nail polish, or another beauty item at Dollar Tree, I end up liking it, so I want to be fair here.
My hair is very long, down to my waist, and tangles easily. I am not one of those carefree, whip-my-hair-around ladies on the beach, like you see in movies and commercials, because if I did, my hair would be full of knots the size of birds’ nests. I dampen my hair, douse it with detangling spray, and braid it before I even think of getting into salt water.
Last year, before one of our beach trips, I decided to get a cheap conditioner, something I didn’t mind using a ton of, and coat my damp hair with it before I braided it. I liked the smell of Salon Selectives Argan Oil Hair Treatment:
Even if you don’t like perfumed products, the scent doesn’t stick around after you rinse it out. I coated my hair with this conditioner before braiding it and swimming, and then in the shower afterward, I spread a generous layer on my hair and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing it out.
After my shower, I was quite happy with how easily I was able to comb my hair. No little knots or tangles–the comb glided right through my hair, which is unusual for me after swimming in salt water.
Even better, when my hair dried, it felt so soft and light, bouncy. My hair is fine, so I appreciated that this conditioner does not weigh it down or leave a greasy residue. And did I mention that I really like the way it smells?
I had picked up a jar of this conditioner thinking it would be a one-time purchase just to load up my hair and protect it from salt water at the beach, but I ended up going back to Dollar Tree and stocking up with two more jars. It’s now part of my regular rotation in our shower.
This is one product that I absolutely recommend. I experiment with hair products all the time, and this one is high on my list. Not bad for a dollar (and a quarter)!
