BBlunt claims their products
are specially
formulated for Indian hair, in my opinion, that’s just a marketing gimmick. I like a lot of
L’Oreal products that aren’t specially formulated for indian hair, which is why
I believe that its all just statement. Today, I'm going to write about the BBlunt Intense Moisture Conditioner, a product I have been using for a couple of months now.
BBlunt Claims:
This moisture-rich conditioner makes out-of-control hair manageable. It smoothens, softens and adds shine. Show your hair some love.
Texture : thick & creamy. Like a hair mask. But it doesn’t feel
as silicone-y as a hair mask. I suppose
its thick because its meant for seriously dry hair. I use it twice during one wash, each time I keep it for approximately 3min, as instructed. I like that it doesn’t
weigh my hair or make it greasy, unfortunately that just means my hair is super
dry. =(
After effects : I have
seriously dry hair, my hair ends are the worst & they actually look pretty
bad too. This conditioner does make them
smooth & soft, but they still look dry & ugly. So if you have really dry, damaged
hair, this conditioner does help smooth your locks but you will need a hair
serum/oil to make your hair actually look healthy. For sometime I felt that
this did not do much for my hair & I switched to another conditioner, only
to realize this one works & does so much more on my hair. However, it does not add shine to my hair as it claims.
I know the packaging looks cute
& its something new, but I don’t like it. It’s inconvenient because the
bottle keeps bending from the middle & strains the plastic…the plastic will
eventually break. A bottle with a pump would have been perfect.
Ingredients of BBlunt Intense Moisture Conditioner:
I was skeptical about how good
this would be for my hair because it has so many alcohols but I did some
research around this.
- Glycerine (2nd
ingredient) is good for moisturizing hair
- Cetyl alcohol & Stearyl alcohol (3rd & 4th ingredients) are fatty
alcohols i.e they are oily & can condition
hair.
These are good ingredients for
dry hair.
The rest of the ingredients are
silicones & parabens so if you prefer conditioners free from those, you
should skip this one. I think the conditioner is more thoughtfully formulated
for dry hair than most drugstore conditioners.
Product vs Price :
Cost : Rs.375 /$5.5
Qty : 200g / 7oz
Shelf Life : Doesn’t have any.
Expiry is 24 months from Date of mfg.
BBlunt products are easily
available online and at BBlunt stores. I don’t know if they are available at
department stores.
Overall Verdict : 4/5
The BBlunt Intense Moisture Conditioner is a nicely formulated and does soften & smoothen my locks, it doesn't meet its claim of making hair shiny. In order to make my hair look shiny/presentable, I still need to use a serum. But I think seriously dry hair can't be remedied with just a conditioner, its a small step that needs to be taken along with other steps like hair oil, mask, serum etc. I feel that if you have dry hair (or seriously dry like mine), you will not be disappointed with this conditioner.
