So I have been harping on about my Giovanni purchase on twitter for the last week. I went on a mini spree over at British Curlies and picked up a shampoo, conditioner and leave-in conditioner(£7.98) by Giovanni. I won't have a chance to use the shampoo and conditioner until wash day but I did do a dry de-tangle using the direct leave in.
I say dry de-tangle but I guess it is more like a damp de-tangle.
First I section my hair in to small section and spray with a water and run a good helping of Direct leave-in Conditioner, this products is great because it gives good slip and my wide tooth comb glide through my hair de-tangling easily without breakage (always dry de-tangle very carefully sloooooowly does it!)
I twisted my hair in my usual medium sized twists adding a little Shea Butter and left over night resulting in elongated, soft waves (which I'm becoming quite fond of for a self confessed curl defining-phobe) After hearing so much about Giovanni on Youtube from across the pond i must say this shiz ain't no joke! and worth the extra we have to pay to get it over in the UK....GO BUY THIS!

I (and I've read lots of instances of this) find it doesn't mix well with anything else. So if you are using a styler over it, you might have problems. They sell it, and sample sizes, in Whole Foods (Soho, Stoke Newington, Kensington)
ReplyDeleteLooks gorgeous, though!! :-D
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI did try the Giovananni leave in last year. I didn't like it. It always seemed to leave lots of residue in the hair. It leaves even more residue if it comes in contact with another product.
However, I adore their conditioners and shampoo. They have been my stable for over a year now. TK Maxx was selling the 1L bottles for £10! This was sometime last yea though and they haven't restocked since.
Lovely.xxx
ReplyDeleteOmg! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLiking this. Thanks for the review. Have heard a lot about this conditioner but thought it was all hype. Will look to get some.
ReplyDelete@chichi me too it took me ages to give in and try, i try to avoid the over hyped stuff but i'm glad i got this.
ReplyDeletei haven't tried it with anything but shea butter but it seems fine with that i don't tend to pile on products.
I have been dying to try this product for ages! All the US hair vloggers harped on about this during their early hair journeys and it looks like its done wonders with your own hair!
ReplyDeleteThis was a rave when I went natural in 2008 but my hair reacted as though I had put an excessive amount of protein in it, didn't like the smell and my hair felt coated, dry and horrible when it dried. Some things are just a rave that works for a lot of people but never really me.
