Four Week Review: Mane And Tail

Hey Everyone!

So if you’ve been following my blog then you know that I’ve recently began keeping a diary of my hair – the treatments I’ve been using, if I use heat on my hair and so on. About four weeks ago, 2 weeks after I started my hair growth journey, I bought Mane and Tail Shampoo + Conditioner after reading that it could not only protect your hair from getting split ends, it also was well known (to the rest of the world, not to me) to help hair growth. The reviews were all pretty fantastic of this hair-care duo that I decided I needed to give it a go myself, and I am happy to say that I am so glad I did!

So far my hair has grown 2" (from 18" to 20" in 6 weeks, and I have the roots to prove it!) and it’s really made my hair incredibly shiny. I’ve also noticed that my hair is much more resistant to split ends since using this set as I used to go home and cut my split ends off almost every day, now I have no need to and I actually can let me hair be!

The set is pretty inexpensive, at least I find it inexpensive because usually I buy salon or all-organic hair products which are pricey! The M+T set only costs about $16.00 - each bottle being $8.00 - and quite honestly these bottles are huge, they are completely massive and will last a very long time. I personally feel that spending $16.00 on two products is a pretty good deal!

I felt like there had to be a downside to this product, only $16.00 for both - too good to be true right? Well, there is one minor downside which is the smell - there isn't any really. I know many people love to have their hair smell fruity, or sweet or however but you're not going to get that with M+T! This may be a deal breaker for some of you, but for me it wasn't really a big deal - I own a lot of essential oils so I just put some Lavender oil in it so that my hair would smell like lovely lavender.

A major concern I had previously was of the Shampoo making my hair feel oily as I had read a few reviews that said their hair ended up feeling quite thick and greasy after a few uses. Luckily my hair has not felt greasy, oily or coated and in-fact my hair has felt wonderfully thick, incredibly soft and looks super shiny! Also my hair has a huge tendency to get frizzy, especially when I let my hair dry naturally (which is always now) and since using this product my hair has really smoothed out and on a few occasions has actually even dried straight, unless I am sleeping and it dries – then it’s a curly mess, but still not frizzy!

The conditioner is not amazing as a conditioner honestly, but it’s great as a leave-in conditioner so that’s how I’ve been using it. I have been using my Macadamia conditioner in the shower but out of the shower I apply a tiny amount of the Mane and Tail conditioner to my hair and it really does make my hair tangle free and healthy looking. Using the Mane and Tail conditioner in the shower really didn’t do anything for my hair, it wasn’t hydrating or drying – it didn’t do anything! As a leave in conditioning treatment though the M+T conditioner is fantastic.

To be honest to, M + T isn't the only product I've been using on my hair these past four weeks. I've also been using the Organix macadamia condition mentioned above, my Phyto deep-conditioning treatment once a week as well as weekly hot oil treatments to keep my hair extra hydrated and soft - so that could be why I haven't had any bad results from M + T. I think probably using M + T a majority of the time and then giving it breaks twice a week helps keep away dryness or greasiness, or at least it has for me!
