Not Your Mother's Beach Babe #NYMBeachBabe Shampoo and Conditioner

I had received samples of #NYMBeachBabe Texturizing Shampoo and Conditioner in my #SurfsUpVoxBox from @Influenster @InfluensterVox Influenster.com, and upon opening the caps I was immediately in love with the smell! It smells deliciously coconut-y, absolutely makes me feel like putting on some beach music and wearing bright, summery clothes even if it's raining outside. I love great smells that help put me in a great mood, or transport me to a good vibe like these #NYMBeachBabe products did, getting all "beachy" feeling (except without the sunburn, or sand where it ought not be ;)

With the NYM Beach Babe shampoo, I got terrific suds in my mid-waist length hair, yet it rinsed out well with a clean, soft, healthy feel in the shower. I followed up with the NYM Beach Babe conditioner, and loved the way it moisturized and detangled my hair without leaving a greasy, weighted or oily feel! I had no need of my wide-tooth shower comb to get my fingers through my hair, which was awesome and one less step for me to have to worry about.



Didn't need to use this tired old thing in the shower like I normally do, NYM Beach Babe helped save me time with my shower/hair routine!

After towel-drying my hair, then partially blow-drying, (I left it ever-so-slightly-damp), I began my scrunching and sprunching to get those sweet waves I crave in my now summer-smellin' coconut-y soft and volumized "beach-babed" hair. That's no small feat, because although my hair is long, it's on the thin side, so every bit of lift, texture, volume and wave I can get makes me happy! I did love the way my hair felt, it definitely seemed to have more lift and took well to my scrunching it.

Here's how I scrunch: first, in barely damp hair, I add just a bit of lightweight hairspray, and then in sections, squeezing "fistfuls" of hair, I then spray then scrunch, spray then scrunch until I'm happy with the results. I like "bigger" hair, so I did several sections this way (no curling iron required!) and ended up with this:

I LOVE not having to put a curling iron to my hair, especially in the summertime!



My conclusion is that NYM Beach Babe Texturizing Shampoo and Conditioners are very good quality products that did very well for my hair, adding texture yet softness and manageability, volume and lift and prepared my hair well for scrunching, (as well as having the added bonus of smelling awesome and lifting my mood). I was impressed by how much I liked them!

 

I received these products complimentary from Influenster.com for testing and review purposes, but my opinions/review of these products are based solely on my own experiences and observations.
