When I rinsed it all out, my hair still felt dirty. You know that feeling when there are still too many oils that didn't come out of your length? More on that in a bit.
Conditioning Cream: I probably used a large tablespoon amount from the ears down and then went about my showerly duties. A few minutes later when I ran a comb through it, the tangles just literally fell out. It was wonderful. After rinsing my hair still had that dense kind of dirty feeling.
Leave in Conditioner: One dime sized blob for each half of my hair, then combed it all out with no tangles whatsoever. Then I applied about another (scant) dime sized amount on my crown and upper hairs to help control frizz.
As my hair dried it still felt dense and dirty and I thought, oh no, this is going to be another failed experiment. BUT by the time it dried any excess oils had been absorbed and my hair was smooth, shiny, had a wonderful swing, and was darn near impervious to tangles. The next day it was still fluffy enough that I had to braid it for the day, but it wasn't the disaster of fluffiness it usually is, and by the second day it was absolutely GORGEOUS.
Every day after that my hair just got smoother and shinier with no tangles and a wonderful swing. And my ends, which usually dry out and turn into velcro by about the third or fourth day after washing, remained absolutely soft and moist. Also, as the week progresses my hair as a whole eventually starts looking a little frazzled from drying out, and it starts separating into thatches so I end up braiding and bunning the last couple of days before I wash it again. This time using Toadstool, it maintained it's integrity and a wonderful hemline and allowed me to wear it down and proud for the full week!!!
Well, almost a week. On Sunday morning despite my hair still looking fantastic, I just wanted to try it again. Same routine as above, only I used more like an even tablespoon of the conditioning cream, and once again my hair just felt dirty and oily and kinda yucky. But once again, by the time it dried it was GORGEOUS. Now I'm on second day hair again and I can't tell you how beautiful it is. I'm sold on these Toadstool products, I do suspect that they are my Holy Grail products!
Now about the scents:
Shampoo and Leave in Conditioner in the Chamomile scent. It smells like equal halves with one half herbal like chamomile tea, and the other half a delicious combo of rose and lavender. Wonderful scent! The only somewhat bad thing is that when it is drying it gets a very dry powdery lemon scent, rather like a lemon that's drying out and turning yucky, but by the time my hair is dry that scent is completely gone, just like the extra oiliness. So it's all good.
Conditioning Cream in Milk and Honey. Just a very sweet, wonderful scent. More like honey and vanilla really. I love it!
Sorry this was so long, but I do hope it helps some of you who haven't tried it yet, or who are interested in those particular scents.
