So now I have a gang of 'em! They're like my new little family. Since my little collection is growing, I think it's a good time to assess my purchases to see which one(s) I like & will repurchase again. Although I've only used them once or twice, there are a couple which are becoming obvious favorites. Here's a run down of my babies so far:
Kanechom Goat Milk {Restores and Strengthens}
+ Main Benefits: Contains Hydrolyzed Milk & Wheat Protein || Lightly Scented. || Thick Creamy, Moisturizing Feel.
Will I Reorder? Yes because of the strengthening/moisturizing qualities. Will help my hair maintain strength in between protein treatments.
......................................................
Kanechom Shea Butter { Moisturizes & Promotes Healthy Hair}
+Main Benefits: The most moisturizing of all the Kanechom products I own. Contains Hydrolized Keratin as last ingredient. Perfect for keeping moisture balance in my hair. Will be the base for my protein treatments when ever I use Pure Protein in the future. I'm in love with the texture of this product. It reminds me of a better version of Suave Milk & Honey which was discontinued years ago.
Will I Reorder? Yes! Yes! Yes!
.......................................................
Kanechom Intense Care { Mega Hydration}
+Main Benefits: Contains Hydrolyzed Corn, Wheat, Soy protein. || Thick and rich
Will I Reorder? Not sure. For some reason I thought it would be even more hydrating than my Shea Butter. It's more of a nourishing product. I think this Intense Care is better suited for extremely damaged hair. At the moment, my hair is "normal." The fact that Intense Care is so thick & nourishing isn't a bad thing (it's a really good thing) , I just think I was expecting something different. Maybe instead of calling it Mega Hydration, they should call it Mega Repair. It's still moisturizing like all of the others but, with a name like Mega Hydration, you better come correct.
...........................................................
Kanechom Acai {Moisturizing & Strength}
++ Main Benefits: No obvious proteins listed in the ingredient list. Contains several fruit extracts including Acai, which are hydrolyzed for better penetration into the strands. Mild fruity scent.
Will I Reorder? Yes. Very moisturizing. Also a good base to mix with my Pure Protein. Will act as back up staple conditioner because the Shea Butter is often out of stock.
.........................................................
Kanechom Ceramidas { For dry/damaged hair}
++ Main Benefit: Ceramides in the form of Hexyl Cinnemal, which the representative from Kanechom stated was a "pharmaceutical name for ceramide" after I contacted her. I'm so used to ceramide in the form of 2-oleamido and 1-3 octadecanediol which I often see in my Biolage Ceramide products. From what I know of Hexyl Cinnemal, it naturally occurs in chamomile. I did a quick search of it and couldn't find much information that defined it as a ceramide. I'm not saying that it isn't. What I am saying is that in a couple other products I found online containing this ingredient, they also included other ceramides in the formulation. My very unscientific conclusion is that it probably isn't a highly concentrated ceramide.
Will I Reorder? Probably not. I think I will stick to Cera Repair as the main ceramide product in my regimen.
One thing I should also mention is during my email interactions with a rep from Kanechom, she made a recommendation that I try the Dark Chocolate conditioner. She asserted that the Dark Chocolate would be "very hydrating for textured hair." So I hopped on over to Amazon to see what folks were saying. The reviews were pretty positive so I'm adding to my wish list.
Oh, I should also mention that the woman who helped answer my questions graciously offered up two coupon codes that expire September 30, 2013. The first code FIVE will take $5.00 off your order. The second code FREE will save you on shipping and handling costs. You can take advantage of the code by visiting the Kanechom site. I will not receive any compensation if you chose to take advantage of the offers. All of the conditioners seen here were purchased by a crazy woman who is obsessed with conditioners (me).
