Ceremonia

Hair wellness begins at the scalp. And, growth does too. Aceite de Moska is a heritage scalp remedy that helps to promote healthy hair, nourishes and magnifies shine, while smoothing down cuticles to combat frizz. Inspired by the long-cherished Aceite de Moska—derived from the Dominican Republic.

Aceite de Moska

I've got my set ammonia acid to the most got here as you can see I've used almost the entire bottle I really love this stuff and feel like it's definitely promoted healthy hair growth I have bleached hair as it's grown out now but this bleached hair has just been you know a journey so I take my kid to the most, and just apply it to my scalp I have a face mask on by the way if you didn't realize that it was still on some face mask and putting ice at the most are in my hair so you quiet to your roots on her scalp and you can also apply it to the ends of your hair to make sure that you get all the benefits of this so I'll leave it on my hair and then in about 20 minutes go take a shower

Latin American ingredients including Safflower Extract and Tamarind provide hydration for maximum absorption and shine, while Avocado strengthens and repairs hair, combating frizz. It’s time to get your repair on...your hair will thank you!

Guava Leave-In Conditioner

I just wanted to share that this is my hair with the ceremonial guava leave in conditioner it leaves really defined curls and they're really loose at the same time which is really nice so it's not trying down like crunchy or anything like that if you want it to be even looser I'm sure you can grab some hair oil and just kind of Comb it through I just I love how this stuff works and also smells amazing if you have never eaten a guava is kind of like sweet and tart at the same time and if it smells so great and you're going to get so many compliments when you wear this

For all of those moments we’ve taken our hair for granted, enter the Rescue & Repair Kit, featuring the Guava Rescue Spray & the Guava Leave-in Conditioner. Superfruit Guava protects against harmful UV, while providing antioxidants to fight against free radicals. The kit manifests a formula that not only detangles and prevents damage from stressors, but simultaneously strengthens hair and provides intense hydration. Your hair’s rescue therapy all in one.

Guava Rescue & Repair Kit

this is the ceremony of guava rescue and repair kit I've got the guava rescue spray which I put in my hair already it is great for heat protectant and UV protection and then I've got the guava leave in conditioner as the final step in my three I set them on their product routine for effortless wavy hair so I'm going to go ahead and put a few pumps in my hand and then start to comb it through my hair from route to the bottom it smells like a guava which if you're not familiar where is a common fruit in the Caribbean and in Latin Americaso you calling us through after you've applied your other products you can also use so if you want to use this on damp hair and then finally you'll stir scrunch up for an effortless look

my thoughts on ceremony has a say the most guy never in my life have I ever encountered such a lightweight oil in applied like a dream the texture almost reminded me of like squalane it's super lightweight and absorbs almost instantly into the scalp it's also very lightly scented as well you can use this on your scalp before you shower or overnight or you can apply it to your ends to feel like feeling pretty the textures phenomenal the smell is is lovely and I appreciate the packaging again they're so thoughtful and very lightweight easy to recycle plastic babassu sunflower meadowfoam is the first one

Hangouts ceremonias Peck we curl activator although it is a small bottle I know it's a little bit goes a long way so I use just about a quarter size amount on sopping wet hair is incredibly light definitely a serum and not so much a like leaving cream so that's great if you have finer texture curls but it's not like a silicon-based serum like the ones we grew up with his kids it's almost like a watery gel texture I do like it but I'm going to play around with it a little bit more as I'm noticing a Teensy bit of frizz I don't mind a little bit of friends like that's not a deal-breaker for me also the scent is Zara floral just like there are there oil you've tried that so overall really do like it it's nice to just throw on as like a one-and-done styling product to like a little more hold to get a rise out of jail I also really appreciate their packaging the box it came in is uncoated so it's easier to buy degrade in the plaza

I'm right here I'm also using this ceremony and I saved it in mostar oil and I know this is really kind of for your scalp but I use this as well on my ends just because it's an oil it smells really good and it makes my hair nice and shiny so yeah I'm just that isn't what I'm going for my whole hair way

hey guys I wanted to do a review on this Grande lash MD lash enhancing serum this is you can see is the mini one and it is completely dry like I mean there's a little little bit of product in there but it's basically all the way done and I use this for I believe about five months and it held me down I absolutely love it I have another mini one that I'm going to go through but once I'm done with that I'm probably going to buy the full-size cuz I think it's worth it and revitalash isn't sold in my state

okay guys I have done one side you can't really tell but I will say that I really like this like proper thing because you see you don't even split your hair you could literally just go straight down like that and you will get right to the route which is really amazing and really helpful and helpful I don't know why that came out of my mouth like that to do this instead of just like having the section each part especially with curl your hair that's a lot harder to do because I do not brush my hair dry soall right so as I am Sasha in my hair I really liked that application I was able to get in between leg use am not able to get the crown of my head as much but I was able to get it because it has a drop it like went straight to my scalp I don't think I used a lot of products you can't really see so far I'm liking this and I will see you after my shower

all right guys here I am with the ascended and I said that in mosca I sent it in Moscow I apologize for my Spanish I'm still trying to learn but here I am with it so this says there's a lot of information in the box so if you got this Reid that I'm only going to go through these like important parts of it so in the top paragraph here it says I sent it in Moscow is Heritage is a Heritage scalp remedy that helps to promote healthy hair nurses and magnify Shiloh soothing down smoothing down Q2 goes to combat frizz which is really good because as you know maybe your curly hair maybe you don't but curly hair is just crazy all the way all the time it's just it's constant for is so like I said in the last video this is plastic packaging it smellsit doesn't smell bad has more of a natural smell and it is a clear formula I am so excited to try to thank you guys so much and I will keep

her super great so we just got the mail I actually got this shirt in the mail which I'm really loving I also got a couple other shirts from she and I know they really controversial but overall I think their clothing is good for the price I probably paid $4 for this shirt and it's like not see-through not any of that I really liked it I also got this jewelry that I'm going from there anyways because besides the point I got a cigarette package so in the super a package was I haven't seen anybody get is the opposite of a mosca thethe hair oil I really like this like colored packaging and like how they're all different colors on each side I will do it like an in-depth review on this next but the packaging is really pretty when opening up this is plastic this is also plastic and it is more like a clear oil I'll go back into

today I'm going to talk about my favorite product like holy grail I say that in Moscow if I said ammonia is a scalp treatment so it promotes hair growth and hence the shine eliminex phrase nurses were sculpt which is really important and I feel like we often forget about ourselves and that's where it all begins it's made out of cleaning Radiance like castor oil chia seed oil aloe vera a soil and Thomas Moore Avenue since is November for once or twice a week and look at where it's at the smell of this is amazing and like I don't know how they did it but it smells kind of like Earth being clean and it's just really good I feel like you're going to like it and I know this is a product that has like help my hair cuz it only proves that have like a stick with throw this home runsoh and by the way set him on his woman and letting its own we love that

Your hair’s rescue therapy all in one.

okay so I've been using ceremonias aceite de mosca for two months now and it is seriously changed my hair game usually my hair is I'm really thick coarse hair it's been frizzy my whole life but this product I mean you can literally see I used it last night I use it once a week it's given my waves like my natural wave so much volume I never use heat on my hair anymore because I love the way it looks naturally now on the way the product works is it heals your hair from your scalp down which is how the healthiest hair starts from my roots and I literally I just can't speak highly enough my fridge is almost gone my hair is so wavy and full of volume and So Soft I get compliments and how Stockton shining my hair's all the time and like a good way I'm obsessed obsessed

sorry I received another package from super great today and this is the ceremonia is heat a Deimos K I believe that's how you pronounce it if I mispronounce it please do not hesitate to correct me and here it is so one thing I was surprised about was that it was in a plastic bottle a I guess I just like assumed it would be glass but I mean like that's fine I just I don't know I just wasn't expecting that so it's a lot more lightweight than I was anticipating again it's a scalp oil is supposed to help with shine and to combat frizz that have little dropper you're only supposed to use it twice a week Max they suggest either using it overnight or using it as 15 minutes before you are about to wash your hair on your supposed to apply it to your scalp kind of let it sink in and then go about your normal hair washing routine so

fast and pressure all right my fission versus the smell is very subtle but it smells beautiful I can't explain the scent but it's nice the product itself at the actual oil felt really nice didn't feel oily at all like it was it like I didn't have that oily slip that usual oils have where you can't like open anything after that are like touch any things you should just a lot of slip I will make it up to you to review my hair is dry and I can actually feel it

hello summer Greenfield dentist in Nevada review of v a thermostat from through ammonia and this product is a hair oil that is supposed to help your scalp and dry hair so I absolutely love that and then started right here as you stood about two times and I absolutely love this and I applied it like 30 minutes prior to wash my hair and my scalp feels amazing feel pretty clean and I've definitely recommend this product I believe your results for about $25 and I definitely recommend
