Alikay Naturals Lemongrass leave-in Conditioner reviews

Some time ago, I received some goodies from Antidotestreet.com to use. First of all, thanks a lot Antidotestreet.com for this wonderful hair care kit. Today, I am reviewing Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-in Conditioner. I have heard some great things about it.

Review – Lemongrass Leave-In Conditioner

Product Name: Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave-In Conditioner
Price: £10.99
Size: 8 oz/ 236 ml (You can get 3 different sizes on Antidotestreet.com)

I would consider my hair as thin, kinky 4 c and 4 b hair in some areas. The product claim says that this lightweight leave-in conditioner is a perfect solution for all hair types. The first thing that caught my attention is the bright yellow color of the product. I was hesitant about the color, but the fragrance smells like lemon and summer – just delicious. It is not too strong or heavy. In addition to this, it has a pump bottle. The lemongrass leave-in conditioner is lightweight but thick enough to coat your strands. It contains many oils, but it is not super oily. The water (first ingredient) really cuts down on the oily consistency. However, can this product really moisturize my hair?

There is a section on the bottle that lists the featured ingredients:

• Silk Amino Protein: Nourishes and rebuilds damaged hair cuticle.
• Aloe Vera Juice: Moisturizes and strengthens cortex of damaged hair
• Lemongrass Oil : Reduces hair shedding, promotes shine and volume

Ingredients

Water (Aqua), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera Juice), Cetearyl Alcohol (Coconut derived), Stearalkonium Chloride (Coconut derived), Silk Amino Acids (Natural protein), Vegetable Glycerin, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Cymbopogon Flexosus (Lemongrass) Oil Extract, Behentrimonium Methosulfate (Natural Detangling Agent), Sorbic Acid (Food Grade Preservative), Fragrance (Parfum), Color (Yellow 5), Botanical Blend

Product Description

A lightweight leave-in conditioner that penetrates deep into hair cortex to lock in moisture, soften, strengthen and condition each strand. Infused with Essential oils, Aloe Vera and Silk Amino Protein that repair dry damaged hair which promotes moisture from the inside the cuticle. The lemon zest scent is yummy and refreshing. Hair will feel silky soft and ready to be styled fabulously.

Suggested Using
Can be used on dry or wet hair. After shampooing the hair, be sure to saturate to saturate each strand to ensure proper coverage. Can also be used as a daily moisturizing spray onto hair and style as usual.

How I Used it:

I have been using this for a while and I must say that my hair like this product. I have used it on freshly washed hair and also on dry hair. What I like about this Lemongrass Leave-In Conditioner is the slip due to the Behentrimonium Methosulfate (Natural Detangling Agent). That means detangling my hair is much easier with this product. Moreover, this lightweight product is great for my low porosity hair. Because heavy hair products tend to sit on my hair for hours.

Would I Recommend This?

Would I recommend it? Yes, I would!!!
If you have low porosity hair then this is a great product for you! Give it a try to see how it works on your hair as every hair is different. I will continue to use it. The next thing I am going to try is the LOC Method with this product.

Have you tried this Lemongrass Leave-In Conditioner or any other Alikay Naturals Products? Which are your favorites? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I was first introduced to this product in a subscription box. There was an Alikay Naturals takeover and the Lemongrass Leave In was one of the full sized products. I am so happy it came in that box otherwise I would have never experienced the magic. An 8oz bottle is $13 and a 16oz is $20! However, I will not that I’m a firm believer in cost-efficient products and those prices are not cost efficient. That said this product is where I might break my rules. When it comes to this leave-in, quality wins out over quantity.

Now on to the review: this product is ahhhhhhhhhhmazing! You get leave-in! You get leave-in! You get leave-in! I cannot and will NOT stop raving. If you purchase nothing else I recommend, purchasing this. It smells great, it works great, it IS great.

My hair literally melts when I put this product in my hair. I can feel an immediate difference and the difference is moisture (makes sense after all since water is the first ingredient). The first time I used it I attributed the moisture to my pregnancy hormones being that I was around 5 or 6 months pregnant at the time. But here I am 7 months post partum and it still has amazing effects. It is the equivalent of hair therapy. It completely disseminates all of the years of abuse, negligence and exploitation you’ve put your hair through. And if that wasn’t enough it smells sooooooo good. I love natural products, but sometimes they have a tendency to smell like the inside of a carrot sack. This leave-in smells like lemon heads and sunshine. I love it!

Now because I am an absolute skeptic I had to try out a competing leave-in. I turned to Soultanicals. I enjoyed the Kink Drink but it just didn’t have the same kick as Alikay Naturals. I had to go back to my holy grail and I have to say I’m here to stay. I even bought to $20 bottle as my replacement. So we know the commitment is very real! I would highly recommend this product to naturals of all ages, stages and phases. It is truly a lifetime product.
