It feels like forever ago since I’ve shared another sample review, and even longer lifetime ago since I got the sample. Today’s sample is Dax’s short and neat hair dress, which is a petroleum based, coconut and seed oil product that can used on clean, damp or dry hair. Now, I know that petroleum is one of those ‘meh, probably shouldn’t use that on my scalp’ ingredients because of its tendency to clog pores, create build-up, and do other nasty stuff to your scalp which prevents hair growth and makes your hair feel icky (is that just me?); but I feel like it’s an okay ingredient to put in your hair every so often. I tried out this sample a few days ago on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised. I haven’t used a petroleum based product in a long time so it was definitely a change.
As this is a petroleum based hair product, it’s stiff and jelly-like unlike the water based Blue Magic conditioners I’m used to using on my hair. Because Dax is different to what I’m used it, it was a little strange putting something so solid onto my scalp.
Compared to the last sample I tried, there was a quite a lot in this little sachet, and it was enough to cover my full scalp.
One of the things I loved about this sample was the smell! By now you know I’m a sucker for anything that smells nice, especially if it’s going on my head. I mean, if I’ll have to smell it for hours I’d rather it smelt of something nice. This smelt of coconut oil mixed with another sweet ingredient.
All in all I’m not sure I would buy this, just because it is petroleum based and I prefer my water based hair products. That being said, it’s one of those products that I feel every girl needs to have on her table (even if it doesn’t get used all that much), so if I had to buy it, I’d probably buy a mini tub of this instead of a full sized tub.
