My Routine
- I almost always comb out my hair before I shower to get rid of any "loose" hairs that would fall out will washing. Basically, I do this step to eliminate the amount of hair that ends up in my shower/drain (a clean up life saver).
- I let my hair soak in warm water for a few minutes to get rid of any oil or dirt I've accumulated and to open up the hair follicles.
- Next, I apply a quarter size amount of shampoo and focus that on the scalp to get rid of as much dirt/oil as possible and rinse that out. Sometimes if I've gone awhile without washing my hair or feel that it is extra dirty then I'll wash through with a bit more shampoo, which I wouldn't recommend since it can strip your hair, I just personally prefer to do a bit more every now and then.
- After all the shampoo has been rinsed away I add some conditioner, starting from the mid-length of my hair and going down, concentrating the majority of the conditioner to the ends of my hair. Any excess I have left I add to the roots of my hair by quickly running my fingers through.
- I let the conditioner sit in my hair for about 3-4 minutes. Since I'm usually listening to music while I shower, I'll wait until a new song starts to put the conditioner in my hair and start rinsing it off with cold water when the song ends. The reason I use cold water is so that it closes the cuticle and seals all the moisture in.
- Then I'll squeeze some of the water out of my hair, finish off the rest of my shower if I didn't before I finished washing my hair and pat it dry before putting it up in a towel.
- I usually leave my hair in a towel for 10-15 minutes and then add the lustrous oil serum, starting at mid-length and working my way down to the ends, where I focus most of the product. Any excess gets worked closer to my roots.

Review
I really liked these products. I felt that it did a great job of hydrating my hair, especially my ends, which I thought was a lost cause. It may not be that noticeable in the comparison photo above but I promise you it works, my hair felt so much better and I thought it looked a lot more hydrated as well. My hair felt softer after just two uses and I saw a noticeable difference in the feel of my ends after just three uses! I don't mind spending a little more for hair products and 4.99 for the shampoo and conditioner can seem a bit steep for some (especially college students, such as myself) but this product actually does benefit the overall health of my hair that I think makes it worth it.
I especially liked that my hair didn't feel rough and dry after rinsing off the shampoo, something I usually notice happens to my hair with almost every other shampoo. The only complaint I had, which isn't much of a complaint, is that I was not a huge fan of the smell. It reminded me of an old ladies perfume although my cousin thought it just had a strong perfumey scent. On a trip to Walmart I noticed the nutri-gloss line of the advanced hair care products and it smelled fantastic!
If you suffer from dry hair, this may be the product for you. If you give it a try, let me know by commenting down below.
