It is very rare for me to buy new products or want to try new brands, as I have my staple products that work and make my curls pop. BUT.... one of the problems I do have is finding natural hair products that you can use if you wish to use heat on your hair once in a while.
I recently was sent some products from Nexxus, New york salon care to test and try. Now these products are not specifically made for heat use, but I tend to use salon products when using heat, because they contain silicones which help my hair from reverting back so quickly..AND... I always do a protein treatment before and after using heat, so the Nexxus Oil Infinite is perfect for this because they are protein infused.
(FYI.... Can brands please STOP using the words UNRULY, UNMANAGEABLE when describing curly hair..ain't nothing unmanageable about my hair!!)
Characterised by the nourishing Babassu oil and Marula oil, the Nexxus New York Salon Care Oil Infinite system addresses the needs of unmanageable, dry, coarse hair
Lets start at the beginning with the shampoo. Yes it has sulfates, which I don't have a problem with, because I believe you should sulfates now and again to reset your hair, especially with London's hard water and mineral deposits, which can make your hair feel so dead at times.

Nexxus Oil Infinite | Oil Infusing System | Shampoo | £14 |
The Oil Infinite Shampoo is very rich in consistency, so a little goes a long way!! I had to learn that, as I used a lot and it took ages to rinse out!! It is also silicone free and infused with babassu & marula oil. It also claims to help rebalance hair by rebuilding broken bonds and replenishing nutrients.
This shampoo also contains hydrolyzed wheat protein which helps to repair the hair and is a great ingredient if you have colour-treated hair. I must say I have truly fallen in love with this shampoo!!..which is very rare for me!
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein: Water soluble protein derived from wheat, it penetrates the cortex of each strand. It strengthens and moisturizes hair, increases it’s ability to receive and maintain moisture. -urbanbushbabes.com

Now on to the Oil Infinite Conditioner, the product that us naturals crave for!! and this one truly did not disappoint!!
What I love about the oil infinite conditioner is...the slip!! detangling was a BREEZEEEEEEEEE!!! The comb was gliding through my hair effortlessly and once rinsed out. It was sooooooo oo o o o soft!! This conditioner is also infused with bassubu & marula oil. It also contains hydrolysed keratin.

Nexxus Oil Infinite | Oil Infusing System | Nourishing Hair Oil | £29 |
Infused with a rich 6-oil blend, including Babassu and Marula Oils, our Oil Infinite Nourishing Hair Oil nourishes deep within and replenishes the lipid layer on the surface for restored natural resilience. -Nexxus.com
NOW...I would not use this oil on my regular smegular wash n go hair style as it contains silicones and mineral oil. We already know mineral oil is like the devil of natural hair ingredients, because apparently it doesn't seal in the moisture...or something like that. I'm not too sure! Some stylists like it, some don't.
All in all, I am a fan of the Nexxus Oil Infinite Oil infusing system. It does what it says it will and I have seen a huge difference in my hair.
Love it!!!
