NYM Brand Naturals Leave-in Conditioner || Review

  Hello beauties! I'm back today with a very exciting product review, but first I'd like to give a little disclaimer. The Product up for review was sent to me complimentary from Not Your Mother's Brand & Influenster, but that has no effect on my thoughts about the product that I'm sharing, all opinions are authentic.  So I've been testing out this leave in conditioner for 2 weeks and it has been a pleasant change from my usual Aussie leave in conditioner.   For me, A good leave-in conditioner is so important especially since I have color treated hair and style it with heat relatively often.  The repair + protect leave-in conditioner really got the job done and since I let my post wash hair air dry, I woke up with a more touchable feeling than other leave-in treatments.  The only downside I found to this product was that if you over saturate your hair it does seem to weigh it down quite a bit, especially if you have thicker hair such as myself.  On the other hand, when applied to only the bottom inches of the hair in the suggested amount I noticed a natural volume an extra softness near the ends.  Overall, in comparison to the many similar products I have used, it doesn't get much better than this! 9.5/10   (Product Link)                                                                                                                                              -XoXo, Lily Vera
