Nexxus // Encapsulate Serum Cavier Review

Nexxus // Encapsulate Serum Caviar
RRP £24.99 for 60ml

This was a 15ml sample that I received in a Latest In Beauty box a few months ago.

First Impressions

I honestly had no idea that this was a hair product. It was only when I read the back and it instructed me to apply to damp hair that I realised. I was about to use it on my face! It has a nice powdery smell; kind of like baby powder.

Usage

It's a nightmare to get this stuff out of the bottle. I had to keep banging it against the table to shift the product to where it would be dispensed. Once it eventually leaves it's in a white liquidy state. I thought the "caviar beads" would come out whole but the product gets mixed together when dispensed. 15ml lasted me about a month and I only wash my hair every 3/4 days and used 3 pumps at a time.

Would I Buy This Product: No.

Overall Impressions

This does nothing apart from leave your hair sopping wet. I've never known anything like it. Normally, my hair dries quite fast, but every time I used this, it took twice as long to air dry. I like to shower before bed, braid my hair and then quickly blow dry for 5 minutes in the braids just so it's not soaking wet. When I used this product, I was blasting my hair for 20 minutes and it still wouldn't dry. This product just seems to coat the hair in the something. That coating doesn't wear well either. I think if you wash your every every day or so you won't notice but after a couple of days I noticed that my hair would stick to itself and knot more easily. Something that doesn't happen with my normal Aussie leave-in.

I can't give this stuff away. I've taken it to work and everyone else had the same response, thinking it was a face cream then reading the back. I've also had one friend pull a face thinking there was actual fish eggs in the product. On almost every website this product has an average of 4 stars out of 5; I don't know how. Maybe this works for finer, Caucasian hair, but it was useless with my mixed Afro hair.
