Hello Beautiful People!
Welcome to round 5 of Mother Nature VS. Manufacture!
In Mother-Nature’s
corner...
(I'm so sorry but I got too excited and completely forgot to take a picture of the henna brick before I used it! But here is a link to the lush website... https://www.lush.co.uk/products/noir ...where you can take a look at the different henna colours they sell)
Name: Lush Henna Brick: Caca Noir
Brand: Lush
Price: £8.50
Size: 325g
Uses for this product: To intensely darken the hair whilst
conditioning and nourishing through the added cocoa butter https://www.lush.co.uk/products/colour
Lush Caca Noir Henna:
- In order to break down the brick of henna you
have to place it in a clear heatproof bowl and pour boiling hot water onto it
until it melts. The aim is to melt it into a creamy texture. It took a really
long time to get it to the right consistency!
When it came to applying it I actually had to
get my mum to help me because that’s how hard it was! I had to bend over the
bath and the henna was going absolutely EVERYWHERE!
-
After the whole catastrophe of getting the henna
on, I had to leave it on for FIVE HOURS! I’m still shocked at how long you have
to wait for this to work. However, I do understand that it’s a natural product
and so would take a bit longer than the manufactured product.
-
Washing this stuff out of my hair was a bit of a
nightmare I’m not going to lie! Because I had to leave it in for so long the
henna had become so hard and so I literally had to wait for the henna to melt
using hot water on my hair. It took about 20 minutes to wash everything out of
my hair.
-
Once I let my hair dry I didn’t really notice
much of difference at first, but my family could definitely tell, and after a
while so did I. However, this product did leave a very strong smell in my hair
that I didn’t really like. I can still smell it now and I did this a couple
days ago! As for the difference in overall feeling of my hair, I did find that
it did make my hair feel a lot softer which I guess is down to the cocoa butter
used in the product.
In Manufacture’s
corner is...
Name: Garnier Olia- Deep Black (Now called Midnight Black
1.0)
Brand: Garnier
Price: £6.99 (now in Superdrug for £5.99)
Size: Developer Cream= 60g
Colourant
Cream= 60g
Silk &
Shine multi-application conditioner= 54ml
Uses for this product: To permanently darken the hair whilst
improving the visible quality of the hair (such as shininess and smoothness)
Garnier Olia Hair Dye:
- The mixing of this product was really simple!
Just follow exactly what the instructions tell you and there should be no
problems
-
The application process was SUPER easy! You literally
just have to part your hair from back to front applying the mixture as you go
along. And the product itself wasn’t thick or too thin that it drips everywhere
- I had to leave the dye on for 30 minutes for it
to develop properly which was great because I could just watch an episode of
The Big Bang Theory and it would be done (hehe)
-
When it came to washing it out it didn’t take
too long and it also came with a conditioner that you use after washing it out
which was great
- The look and feeling of my hair afterwards was
amazing!! It felt sooo smooth and looked really bold! The smell was really nice
too!
The Results...
This really is a tough one because I guess they both had
pros and cons. However, I feel that the manufactured product did have a lot
less cons.
Therefore, in this
instance Manufacture has beaten Mother-Nature!
Thanks for reading guys!
Until next time...Lots of love, L xx
