traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Root Shampooing Cream

Here’s a picture of my hair taken by my mini-me, Lizzy. This is my natural hair, no color or dye and if you see any gray, well I like to call them my “high-lights” but for almost 40 I think my natural hair color looks pretty good.

• I was my hair every other day. 
• I’m a wash and air dry kind of girl.
• I rarely flat iron or blow dry my hair.
• I occasionally use products like hairspray.

ok enough about my luxurious locks… although I kinda look like COUSIN IT  ;) LOL

In my March 2012 BirchBox, I received the traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Root Shampooing Cream. I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now and wanted post my review. 

I used a little more than a quarter size of the product and followed the directions. Massage into scalp and then rinse with cool water. I didn’t do anything else but air dry my hair for the entire 2 weeks! 

The product lathers pretty well, I managed to get some decent bubbles. The first week I didn’t feel the need to condition, and my hair felt soft and manageable. Week 2 I was having dreams of returning to my old ways of shampoo and conditioner, I’m not kidding.  

After 2 whole weeks of washing with the traditions by Nick Chavez Yucca Root Cream Shampoo, my opinion is this: My hair feels clean and soft, but not as “silky” as I’m used to - probably why I had dreams of using conditioner!  I think it’s great for either going on vacation and wanting something easy to use and transport that delivers results or for people on the go, that like a 2 in one product. I imagine if you have oily hair or scalp, this would be a great product for you to try! … HOWEVER, because I’m a wash and go girl, I don’t use other products that deliver any extra moisture to my hair, and after 2 weeks, even though my hair felt nice and manageable for me it wasn’t as silky smooth as I’m used to (maybe because it didn’t have a coat of conditioner?) 

On a side note- I will say that the shampoo has a really nice fragrance to it, not overpoweringly anything but a pretty fresh and clean scent. I actually had a few compliments on how pretty my hair smelled…
