Product Review: Queen Helene Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream

By

I have been using this product for months and I think it's time to share my experience with you. A good number of ladies have raved about how effective this product is and in my quest to find a moisturizing deep conditioner, I chose to give it a try.
Price:Ghs10.00,  Madina market (Also available in most cosmetic shops)
Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Stearyl Alcohol , Glyceryl Stearate , Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate , Cholesterol (choleth-24), Ceteth-24,Propylene Glycol , Diazolidinyl Urea , Methylparaben , Propylparaben , Fragrance (Parfum), Disodiium EDTA,Yellow 5 (CI 19140), Yellow 6 (CI 15985),Red 40 (CI  16035), Red 33 (CI 17200).
From amazon, raters give it 4 out of 5.

How I Use It

  •  I've used it for over night deep conditioning
  •  under the hooded dryer 
  •  with body heat.  
  • Heated in microwave before application

My Likes
  1. I haven't stuck to the instructions, which says to apply an amount of warm water on the hair before application but with all the methods I've tried, I love it pre-heated before use because it speeds up the deep conditioning process(I'll be sticking to that). 
  2. The product size to me is not too small nor too large and am not that heavy handed with products so for me, it will take a while to get an empty bottle (except if I use it with another person-eg my god daughter.lol). 
Dislikes
  1. I find the smell a bit of a put off. I'm a fan of sweet smells and prefer to have a bit of cool scents in my hair.
  2. It has no slip thus I can't detangle with it.
  3. It takes a  long time to get absorbed into the hair without oils

    Thanks for the review I have always been interested in trying out this conditioner. However the fact that it has no slip is not so good for me.

    Thanks for sharing, I should give it a try. Currently I'm using a pro naturals argan oil conditioner which also works great.
