Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Another wash day! Honestly, I donโ€™t usually wash my hair this frequently, but I had to beat the heat by going for a swim, so a wash was warranted. 

technically, this is my second attempt using the dae Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream Original . My first attempt was an epic fail, but I have tried it again and have a new take on it!


first impressions

  • like previously mentioned, the scent is amazing
  • i I like the texture, and you really donโ€™t need to use a lot
  • i used it two of the advertised ways - on damp hair to prep for styling and on damp air dried hair. Unfortunately I donโ€™t have curls, so I canโ€™t speak on how it performs as a curl definer

 

on damp, then blow dried hair

  • like Iโ€™ve mentioned before, I have some HG products for this purpose, and something would have to really wow me to get me to sway. Unfortunately, I really didnโ€™t like this as a pre-blow dry product.
  • i think I may have used too much initially, so Iโ€™m willing to try again, but I found my hair to feel heavy and almost like there was a film on it after blow drying 
  • my hair felt very greasy, and there was no way Iโ€™d be able to get away without washing it as long as I normally go
  • i thought my ends looked a little limp

 

air-dried hair

  • this is where it really shined - I donโ€™t have any products for air dried hair, so I was hopeful that this might be the best way for me to use this product
  • I used the amount pictured and ran it through my hair, focusing on the mid and ends. I didnโ€™t use any detangling product, and then combed through. Although not advertised, this did a solid job detangling my hair as well
  • once brushed, I just let it be! Picture one is when my hair was about 90% dry, and picture two is around 8 hours later. I didnโ€™t use any heat styling products, additional products, and honestly didnโ€™t even brush it through between those photos being taken (it was one of those days!!)
  • my hair did not feel greasy (I think using less was the answer), and honestly felt pretty voluminous and bouncy even though it was air dried 
  • I often give my air dried hair a little oomph with a blow dryer once itโ€™s fully dried, but I didnโ€™t feel the need to do that today
  • i thought it held up pretty well! Normally Iโ€™d straighten the front pieces and some flyaways, so I know it would look even better when I do that!
  • I didnโ€™t notice additional frizz. Maybe a little less than normal at the beginning of the day 
  • overall, very impressed with this product when used for air dried hair!

@cianni  thanks for sharing your experience, it's very helpful! Your hair looks great! Also, your phone case is super cute!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Your hair looks beautiful. I really appreciate you sharing your experience on different occasions itโ€™s always helpful to hear of first impressions and how each product adapts to different conditions! I really enjoyed reading this! So glad to hear of your experience with it on air dried hair ๐ŸŽ€๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ˜Š @cianni 

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Looks so good @cianni - especially on your air dried hair! And I LOVE your phone case!!!๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ“

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@cianni Great feedback! I think this will work well for air dried hair for me also. I have fine hair that can get frizzy. I tried to avoid anything that will weigh down my hair when blow drying. Thanks so much for sharing. I am looking forward to the scent too!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@Mellmars1185 Let me know how it works for you! Sounds like we have similar hair types โ˜บ๏ธ I never would have guessed - your hair always looks amazing in your photos!!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@cianni Aww thank you. When I add heat to my hair it appears fuller. It is an illusion lol. Likewise, I always admire how beautiful your hair is ๐Ÿ˜

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@cianni  Your hair looks amazing ๐Ÿฅณ

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@Cissy63 thank you!!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

I agree, I love this as an air dry cream @cianni โœจ it does shine.  ๐Ÿ’•

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@CynthieLu Thank you! Have you tried it air dried too? How did you like it?

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Yes, it's been pleasantly surprising @cianni I add a little bit more than a pea sized amount and work it into my damp hair focusing on the lengths. I see a big difference in how my hair looks compared to air drying on its own.

What's impressive is how it looks on day 2 and 3, it's still has some body and definition that it normally dosen't have. ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

I will definitely have to try the DAE for air drying @cianni!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@faeriegirl It looks great the second day too! Let me know how it goes when you try it!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@cianni absolutely lovely 

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@CorgiMommy thank you!!

Re: The 2024 Sephora Summer Gratis Thread!โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽ

@cianni  Taking note to use the Dae for air drying hair, which is what I normally do.
