Obliphica Deep Conditioning Treatment Review

An Obliphica is a sea Buckthorn fruit which is considered a rare fruit, it grows in the Himalayas and Siberia and has been getting quite a bit of press lately for being a superfruit. Because it has an incredible concentration of natural vitamin C, more than 15 times greater than in oranges, the Obliphica is among the best sources of vitamins and phytonutrients in the world!


That's when I heard about the Obliphica Hair Care Line I knew I wanted to try it.  I was able to test out the Obliphica Treatment Shampoo, Treatment Hair Mask, and the Serum.  Out of all three products, the Treatment Hair Mask was my favorite.  Keep on reading to find out why! 

Product Description: Obliphica has an advanced formula for intensive treatment of very dry, colored hair.  The creamy texture of the mask penetrates hair structure and envelops it in softness.  Your hair looks shiny and healthy, and has a pleasant fragrance.

The Obliphica plant contains many vitamins (A,E,C,K), and oils (tea tree, olive, rosemary etc.), 18 amino acids, 11 trace minerals and naturally balanced omega 3,6,9 essential fatty acids that are crucial for a healthy scalp and hair.

• It eliminates split ends and prevents graying, making the hair stonger.


• The mask has been especially adapted for hard water users, being PH balancing.


• Your hair stays soft, even after shampooing, drying and styling it!

AHS (An Honest Story):  I've had these products in my possession for a while without trying them and I have to say I'm sorry I waited so long.  I started out with the shampoo, which thoroughly cleansed my hair without making it feel stripped and overly clean.  Then I followed up with the conditioner.  As soon as I applied the conditioner to my hair, it had great slip and made detangling my hair a breeze.  I decided to hop on out the shower and leave it in overnight for extra conditioning.  That was a total waste, this is not the type of conditioner that gets even better with time.  In the morning, I was a bit disappointed but it was short lived.  I rinsed out the conditioner and put a little more on to detangle.  This conditioner works best within just a few minutes which is a huge plus if conditioning overnight is not your thing.  Afterwards, my hair was soft and had a great shine to it.

WEN Cleansing Conditioner

As you all know, I'm a fan of the co-wash scalp cleansing technique so when the opportunity arose to try the WEN Cleansing conditioner I just had to try it.

The Pomegranate Cleansing Conditioner thoroughly cleansed my scalp and my hair while providing slip and detangling benefits.

It is an incredibly rich, yet lightweight formula that thoroughly cleanses and also gives body, volume and a smooth, polished finish.

Hair Mistake: Under Conditioning

If you are relaxed or natural, your hair needs to be conditioned. I like to condition my hair at least every time I shampoo, so that would be once a week. Now I'm talking a deep conditioner, where I apply it to freshly shampooed, damp hair, and allow it to really get in there by adding some heat with my hooded dryer.

I double condition, meaning I use an instant conditioner and then a deep conditioner. When I used to just use an instant conditioner my hair wasn't thriving like it is now. The best way to start is to use a moisturizing conditioner over a protein based conditioner, because most people need more moisture.

AHS Thoughts: The is a great instant conditioner (leave on for 1-3 minutes) to use in the shower. It immediately made my hair feel soft and made detangling a breeze. The scent reminds me of summer, probably due to the hint of coconut. Overall, I liked the conditioner, but I still needed to use a deep conditioning treatment.

Miracle Mask Protein Conditioner

(Inova Miracle Mask, $48.00 InovaProfessional.com)

The name Miracle Mask is appropriate when it comes to Inova Professional's all star deep conditioning mask, Miracle Mask. I tried it and my hair loves it.

Product Description: Formulated with avocado oil, keratin protein, silk protein and white carnation oil to provide intensive nourishment and hydration, The Miracle Mask repairs split-ends and other symptoms of dry, weak, and damaged hair, while simultaneously detangling and improving manageability. Hair will be healthier, luxuriously smooth, and with brilliant shine.

Thoughts: We all know nothing will repair split-ends, I'm not sure when hair care companies will realized we won't be tricked by that claim. Although, it cannot repair split ends like it claims it does help out tremendously with detangling and softening. The scent is amazing and it leaves my hair feeling soft and strong. The strength comes from the Silk and Keratin proteins. The packaging is unique and you get a lot of product for your money, 17.6 oz. to be exact.

Pantene Clarifies Conditioner Myths

While at the Pantene Pro-V breakfast the conditioner stories just kept pouring out.  Like most of  you, the women at the breakfast confessed that we love to leave our conditioner on long.  The directions say let sit 5-10 minutes?  We leave it on for at least 30 minutes with heat and sometimes even overnight, with the idea that if 5-10 minutes is good well 1 hour plus heat is even better.  Well guess what ladies?  Pantene Scientist Jeni Thomas says it's not true.  If the conditioner is not formulated to be heat-activated then adding heat is just a waste of time and enegry.  Another big mistake?  Using too much conditioner.  The directions say a dime sized amount?  We take fists full and glop it on our hair.  Guess what?  We are wasting product.  Celebrity stylist and Pantene user, Tippi Shorter says we only need enough conditioner to coat our strands and a dollar coin sized amount should do the trick, because remember you don't need to condition your scalp, in fact Tippi warns against it. 

Product tip:  The newest Pantene products are specifically tailored to different hair types.  Just because you are  a black woman doesn't mean Relaxed & Naturals is for you!  Keep your eyes peeled for more posts on more Pantene News.

Miss Keys 10 en 1: An Old Favorite

(Miss Keys 10 en 1 16oz., Amazon.com $11.45)

Miss Keys 10 en 1 was one of the very first conditioners I fell head over heels for when I first started this quest to healthy hair.  To this day I still use Miss Keys 10 en 1 and here's why:

1. The scent - It's light and sweet but not sickening.  Plus it lasts past your rollerset and blow!  I find myself catching whiffs of this conditioner days after I've rinsed it out. 

2. Softness - After each and every use my hair is much more soft than when I first applied it to my hair. 

3. Consistancy - I love a nice thick conditioner and this one is super thick!

4. Results - My hair loves this conditioner too and I can tell so why kick it to the curb?

5. Loves Oils - Not all conditioners like having oil mixed into them but Miss Keys 10 en 1 works wonderuflly well with a little coconut oil mixed in

Deep Condition without Over Heating

(Heat Therapy Wrap, Amazon.com $24.95)

As we get deeper and deeper into the summer months, I can't even bear to drag out my bonnet dryer to use heat to condition.  Instead I turn to my trusty Heat Therapy Wrap!  Ever since I got the Heat Therapy Wrap as part of my Beautyfix package, I haven't stop singing it's praises.

I just put the whole entire Heat Therapy Wrap in the microwave in 10 second intervals until the desired heat is achieved and then put it on my hair.  It's super easy and doesn't cause my body to over heat.  The end result is the same as when I use my bonnet to deep condition!  If you don't already have a Heat Therapy Wrap, what are you waiting for?  It's under $25.00 that's perfect for those on a budget and my college bound divas!  

Plus, all your favorite hair bloggers love it too!  Check us out!
