Product Review: ORS Smooth n' Hold Pudding

The ORS (Organic Root Stimulator) Smooth n' Hold Pudding was one of the products that I tried from my November '14 curlBOX subscription. 

   

  I rated it 5 out of 5 luvs! Here's why.

How I Used the Product:

After my usual wash day regimen, I styled my hair in small two strand twists with a few flat twists on the side. I used the ORS Olive Oil Smooth N' Hold Pudding as my styler and moisturizer. I applied a small amount to each small section, lightly detangled, and two strand twisted (or flat twisted). That's it!  I left my hair in the twists for about five days before rocking twistouts for a surprising 10 days. Once I started chunky retwisting, I refreshed my hair with a small amount of the ORS Olive Oil Hair Lotion.

 Overall Review

Price? -  At an average price of $8, ORS Olive Oil Smooth n' Hold Pudding is super affordable. This is an excellent styling product for naturalistas on a budget.

Smell? - This product  definitely has a noticeable sweet fragrance and it did linger in my hair even after a couple of days. However, I didn't find the smell to be overpowering or unpleasant at all. 

How Did It Work? - The ends of my hair tend to be of a slightly rougher texture than the rest of my hair shafts. Time for a trim/cut I suppose. However, I noticed that as I got to the ends of my twists my ends smoothed out and felt like the rest of my hair shaft. My felt super moisturized and I loved that I didn't need a system of products to get my hair to that soft, moisturized state. This one product did the job. 

Recommendations? -  I would recommend this product for naturals that are looking for a staple natural hair styling product. I would especially recommend it for naturals on a budget. It's super affordable and it lasts, unless you have heavy handed issues like me. This is also one for the naturals that are not opposed to using a hair products that aren't all natural.

My review of this product is based on my personal use of it on my natural 4c, kinky hair. Results may vary as hair types vary. This blog post is not sponsored and I purchased the mentioned products with my own resources unless otherwise noted. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
