Review: Keeva Deep Conditioning 5-in-1 Hair Mask

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**

My hair has had it.  I have dry and worn out hair that is desperate need of some salon TLC.  But right now I am having to be in twenty places at once, and taking the time for me is not a priority.

In the mean time, I will do what I can by using products that can make me feel and look better in the sanctity of my own home.  So I gave #Keeva deep conditioning mask a try to see if it could help me out.

I will say that the down side to this, as with alls masks, is the lack of instructions.  Do you want me to wet my hair first and then sit out of the shower 20 minutes to let it work its magic? Do you want me to apply it to dry hair and then rinse out? How does shampoo usage apply to this product - before? After?  I am not a beauty pro so these are types of information I need to use a product effectively.

So did the wet hair, put on and sit out method.  I rinsed. Just to let you know - I prefer rinsing with cold or cooler water versus the warm they recommend. And I observed my results.  I have to say it works.  My hair felt great right after and my wavy hair was super easy to comb out while wet, and the tangles were manageable.  Once dry, my hair felt good afterwards.  My frizz was well controlled, it was smooth, and my hair had a great scent to it. I did not have to use my extra hair oils once styled to keep the frizz away, which is super nice.

I  am curious what my hair would be like if I used warm water now. I don't like to overuse masks out of fear of oily or weighed down hair, so I will give it another shot soon.  I would recommend always using a strong cleansing shampoo before a mask to ensure you don't end up with heavy hair.

I think I need a few more times to determine if I love the Keeva Deep Conditioning Hair Mask or if this is a good go-to for periodic TLC, but in the mean time, it definitely helps give my hair some love without the cost or time it takes to get it deep conditioned at the salon.

Review: Foot Callus Remover

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**  

So here we go... getting real personal here.  

You know summer is coming to an end.  And it is time to start wearing closed toe shoes.  But that doesn't mean we have to have summer, worn out, callused feet hiding in socks and boots.  

So I was able to give this foot callus remover a try as a part of a product review.  Happy feet? I hope so...

The highlights - 

Completely rechargeable! Yes, no more needing batteries. It came with a mini USB cord to charge it. Just use one of your own adapters to plug into the wall or connect to you laptop or computer.  No more wasting money on batteries - which is awesome in my opinion.

Extra roller. Two rollers are provided, so that you don't have to worry about finding a new one should you wear the first one out.  Although a downside is that I am not sure how you can get more rollers or how much they cost - if this is your go-to tool year-round and you wear them out. 

Water proof.  I took this into the shower, expecting it to die.  Nope. Completely worked while I was in the shower.  Which again, is a huge deal because I would rather do my foot TLC in the shower.

The downside -

I could not figure out the right amount of pressure to put on this when it was against my foot.  I would place it and it would stop.  I tried applying it lightly, but then I felt this might not be working as effectively as it should be.  This was frustrating.

Short cord - This comes with a really short mini USB cord.  Like super short. So don't expect to plug and use at the same time unless you have a long one you can spare. 

Overall. I loved all the perks to this foot callus remover, but felt that overall it would not suffice well due to it inability to take the pressure.  Honestly, if you have rough feet, you know it takes work to get them looking and feeling loved again.  I am going to start over with this - try wearing it down and recharging all the way to see if any that helps any.  Otherwise, I would say read the reviews carefully and make your best judgment call on the product. It may be one that is on its way to being totally awesome with some minor improvements.

Review: Argoil Renew Hair Mask

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**  

My hair is far from being iconic, stylish and vibrantly healthy.  This last time around at the salon, what should have been an ombre turned into a roots peeking highlight job.  Very sad that it didn’t have the fading from one color to the next, and that the lighter color went too high up.  But in fear of burnt hair, I let it go and walked away with a half smile.  How do you even begin to approach your stylist about the eh-overcharged POS job they did?  I knew I would have to do some damage control, including some special conditioning.  Argol Renew Hair Mask offered just the help I needed to start getting it back to a healthier appearance.  

When the product came in, I could not wait to get my hands on it.  Opened up that sucker and I was greeted with a soft fine aroma and a thick luxurious cream.  In reading the directions, I was unfortunately discovered they were limited.  It said to apply to the hair, rinse with warm water, once a week.  But I needed details… Apply dry? Apply wet? How long do I wait?

So this was really about trial and error.  I read up on reviews and other masks, and the directions I found were varying as well. So I just gave it a shot. First time around, dry hair.  Rubbing that mask through was difficult because I didn’t feel like it was gripping onto the hair right.  Waited about 10 minutes, showered, and then checked the results.  Guessing my hair was just too dry for it to really create the mask effect. While my hair was conditioned and pretty smooth, I wanted more.  The next time, I did it while in the shower with wet hair.  After I shampooed, I skipped my regular condition and applied the mask.  This is where I felt it coat the hair.  I tried to wait it out as long as I could, and what felt like ten minutes was probably more like five.  Rinsed it out, and checked the results. This was so much better.  Combed it out smoothly and enjoyed the fresh scent.  My hair was easy to manage, smooth and soft to touch.  It stayed that way after I had straightened it with a flat iron as well.  My hair felt so nice and again, the smell was wonderful.

I have been pleased with this product.  While my hair is still in a healing phase, and soon it will undergo a coloring process to return to dark hair for the fall and winter, I expect that I will continue using this weekly to ensure I am giving it some extra TLC.

So if you are interested in it, I found it on Amazon - Argoil Renew Hair Mask - and I recommend you give it a try if you are looking to give your hair some extra love.
