The Baomint deluxe trial kit did not work for my natural hair, which I have been natural for 20yrs. I have thin, very fine hair with different textures from straight to soft ***** coily! I am elderly with mingled grey mostly around front hairline. In fairness to these Adwoa hair products, I have had a problem with products for my hair forever, because of my different hair types! Most products do not moisturize my hair, and usually leave it dry and brittle or limp and weak. I gave the kit three stars because the shampoo did leave my hair feeling strong and healthy. The leave in conditioning styler did "sculpt" my hair w/o stiffness or flaking, but left my hair extremely dry. Had to use another brand product to moisturize and counteract the dryness. It did give my hair some volume which I did like since my hair is so fine. I did not like the scent because I am sensitive to scents, and the scent was a bit overpowering and could smell it all day in my hair which I don't like smelling my hair products all day. Also, I have a sensitive scalp, and products did tingle on application, and left my scalp feeling tender with a slight burning sensation for a few days. I am sensitive to certain chemical preservatives in hair products, which also makes it hard for me to find products that work for me. All of the products in the squeeze bottles were too thick to squeeze out, therefore had to remove cap and cup it out into my hand. I also bought a kit for my daughter. Our hair types are opposite, she has thick, shiny, natural wavy hair, so if a product does not work for me, it usually can for her. Well, she did not like them at all. They made her hair sticky, dry and brittle with white flakes and no wave pattern and no shine! I love to support black owned businesses, but because these products are a bit pricey, felt I had to give my honest opinion! I'm hoping to find someone whose hair can benefit from these products to give them to, so it would not be a total waste of money for me.
