[This is my hair w/the Bee Mine Product]
Bee Hold Curly Hair Butter [$12.97 8oz]
Ingredients: 100% Shea Butter, 100% Aloe Vera Gel, Essential Oil Blend, Vegetable Glycerin, Rosemary Leaf and Chammomile Extract, Silk Powder and Perfume
I ordered Bee Mine [Bee Hold Curly Hair Butter] and received the product approximately 6 days later, which isn't bad. I used Bee Mine Curly Butter for a twist out, and I was satisfied with the results. I use the word satisfied because this product didn't blow me away. Yes, there was slight definition there; however I had a bit more shrinkage than normal, and my hair didn't feel AS soft, and AS big as it normally is. Actually; as the days passed by, I found myself having to reach for a very thick moisturizer because my hair started to feel a little drier than usual.
Would I buy this product again; I am a little on the fence about it. I want to try it out a few more times before I rule it out. I think I may try it on a braid out instead. I definitely like that the ingredients are natural [a big plus], and I love how fast it got to my doorstep. However the biggest issue for me was the shrinkage, and the "dry" feeling my hair had 3-4 days later.
I should also point out that my hair is not really a fan of Shea Butter, which might be one of the reasons it didn't agree with my hair. If your hair loves Shea Butter, this might be a hit for you.

YOu are not alone. My hair is not a huge fan of shea butter either. It likes shealoe though but there has be an equal or higher amount of aloe vera gel to shea butter or I can guarantee my hair will come out greasy.
ReplyDeleteI'm unsure how I feel about shea butter. I gave up on it a while ago, but I just purchased some shealoe to experiment with for my skin and braidouts,etc.
ReplyDeleteI just bought this the other day, and tried it on my hair. All I can say is yuck. I didn't even get through my whole head, I had to wash it out immediately. I really wanted to like this one, especially since I've heard rave reviews. I just may try this one more time, but for now, I definitely will not be buying this again.
ReplyDeleteWell i must say i am not a fan of bee mine products. It does not give me the braid out or twist out curl or wave that i like. To me the product smells so good but would i buy it again, NO. It is a good thing i brought the samples.
ReplyDeleteI love Bee Mine products. I have used several items from their line and have been equally impressed with all of them. That being said, I, too, find the Bee Hold Curly Butter lackluster as a stand alone product. However, for those that didn't receive the results they were expecting (shine, softness, moisture, and definition), try using the Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer before/under the Bee Hold Curly Butter. That two-punch combo is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteMy hair is ridiculously soft and hydrated; has incredible shine, not-to-mention, the definition I have on those rare days when I wear a twist out. The only negative (for some naturals) is the shrinkage. Your hair will shrink up. Well, mine does but that does not bother me because I like shrinkage. HTH!!
The Komaza recipe is so easy to make by myself. I just use coconut oil and shea butter for elongated twist outs. Sometimes I add aloe vera gel. It's cheaper to buy those ingredients instead of spending $20-$40 for a 8 oz pudding.
ReplyDelete@Aisling is correct. The Bee Hold Curly Hair Butter won't leave the hair soft and moisturized. It is an oil-based product, and not a water-based product. The first ingredient is unrefined shea butter, and not water. So, naturally, it won't be moisturizing. One would need to use a water-based product prior to using the Curly Hair Butter.
