The Beauty Sleuth

Everyone wants shiny, manageable hair and it often seems that in order to achieve this you have to spends buckets of money to do so. Well, there’s a new kid in town, called Twisted Sista by Urban Therapy and not only do these products cover the gamut of hair care solutions but at $5.00 a pop, they won’t break the bank! I, along with some very eager testers test drove the collection on a series of photo shoots over a two month period and this collection of hair product really stood up. Overall, the line did extremely well in the shampoo and conditioning department— The testers all remarked on the how much they liked the texture of their hair after use of both shampoo and conditioner and continued to get great results with regular use. This cleansing/conditioning duo contain coconut oil and fruit sugars which gently cleanse, add moisture and help reduce breakage and took top marks for this road test, but don’t stop there because I would say that the styling products weren’t far behind and did fairly well, too.

The collection is fortified with Panthenol which strengthens the cuticle, and vitamin E to add shine, and silicone to control and de-frizz even the unruliest of hair. Each product has a sweet, beachy smell that I really liked and for those of you who live in areas where the sun shines more often than not, the added UV-protection benefit is definitely a plus. The line features the organic compound Benzophenone which is a powerful UV-blocker that is found in many sunscreens on the market today and is a component in their de-frizz shampoo (which really does what it says!) De-frizz conditioner (ditto) Relaxing straightening creme, curl activator and 30 second curl spray. What does this mean for you? Long term protection for your locks that will keep it in great condition, especially if you color your hair.
