Alterna Caviar Anti Aging Polishing Serum

Age Group: 35-44Gender: FHair Color: blondeHair Type: dry

- 2/6/2012 7:38:44 PM Product has pleasant smell and is light weight. However, it calmed the fly aways for about as long as it took to dry and then they were sticking up all over again. Useless product for me. Another product I had worked much better and a whole lot cheaper.

Alterna BAMBOO Volume Uplifting Root Blast

Gender: FHair Color: brunetteHair Type: chemically treated

Smells really nice, but..... - 2/1/2012 9:03:26 AM I had high hopes for the uplifting root blast, as I use a lot of Alterna products. Hower, I am disappointed that the minimal lift it provides just doesn't last very long -- an hour or so at best. The spray does smell really nice -- and I hope perhaps the product will be improved to provide more holding power!

Alterna BAMBOO Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Mist

Age Group: 45-54Gender: FHair Color: blondeHair Type: damaged

Love it, but... - 1/20/2012 4:36:09 AM Loved this product; until I tried Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Polishing Serum (the CAVIAR product worked better for my hair). I gave the BAMBOO product to a friend who absolutely loves it. Give the BAMBOO a try, it is a superior shine product that is good for hair.

Alterna BAMBOO Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Mist

Age Group: 25-34Gender: FHair Color: brunetteHair Type: normal

It's ok, but not great - 1/16/2012 7:38:47 AM It's not a bad product, I just don't feel it makes much of a difference. I have other products that protect my hair from blow-dry heat and simultaneously make it shiny. Like I said- it didn't hurt my hair, I just don't think it's worth the money.

Alterna TEN Hair Masque

Age Group: 35-44Gender: FHair Color: blackHair Type: chemically treated

2nd time lucky - 1/8/2012 3:30:52 PM I ordered this product 2 years ago. At the time i was using alot of protein without knowing negative effects of so much protein on my hair. My hair felt like straw it was so dry and nothing could moisturize it. When i ordered this product i was at the peak of using so much protein that i thought this was making my hair dry. I returned it and gave it a bad review. Fastforward, now that i am more knowledgeable about hair products and got my hair back in control, i decided to give this a try again. WOW! My hair is moisturized and soft and feels more healthy. I think my hair has also more shine to it. I used Humecto by Keracare as a conditioner and use this as a deep treatment. For both product, i use only a small nut size. Another thing i learned is using more product is not necessarily better and using only a nut size is effective enough without weighting my hair down. Note: my hair is tick,coarse, and relaxed. I also use the Kerastase Chronologist once every 7 weeks as a protein treatment, just after my relaxer. I don't have the wow effect like this product, but i only use it as it is intended to be used which is no more than once a month.

Alterna Hemp with Organics Texturizing Glaze

Age Group: 55+Gender: FHair Color: brunetteHair Type: chemically treated

A regular part of my hair care - 1/6/2012 5:01:21 AM For years, I've used Alterna Hemp in the tube after shampooing with Philip B's Scent of Santa Fe and then using a quarter sized amount of his Love In Leave in Conditioner. Then I apply a nickel size amount of the Hemp texturizing glaze to soften the frizzies and enhance my naturally curly, wavy hair. My approach is to minimize rinsing too much hair color out with each wash, therefore lengthening time between hair color treatments (trying to save money.) I let my hair air dry the first day after working the products through, then the next day apply a pump of Redkens Smooth Down before straightening with my flat iron. My hair is not weighed down by these products, nor does it become oily after 2 or 3 days.

Alterna Hemp with Organics Styling Mud

Age Group: 35-44Gender: MHair Type: normal

- 1/4/2012 3:08:21 PM I have very straight hair. My stylist adds a lot of texture in the cut. I use a cheap product that I get at CVS which has tremendous hold (Got2b Glued Styling Spiking Glue) and then add the Alterna Hemp to soften my hair and to add a lot of texture. Be careful not to use too much though because it can be greasy and weigh your hair down. A very small amount does the job well and it lasts all day. Bonus is that the product smells great and that's coming from more than a few of the ladies.

Alterna Caviar Full-Body Volume Cream

Age Group: 55+Gender: FHair Color: brunetteHair Type: chemically treated

Love Alterna products, but not this one! - 12/31/2011 8:49:18 AM I am a big fan of Alterna Caviar Shampoo and Conditioner. I've also used the Alterna Creme nutritive gel and really liked it. My hair is color treated, fine, but fairly thick. It usually styles pretty easily and smoothly. After shampooing my hair and conditioning it with the Caviar shampoo and conditioner, I applied the volume cream for styling. My hair became dry and sticky as I blew dry my hair. When I attempted to style it with a brush, it became unruly. I had to then apply the tiny amount of Alterna nutritive creme gel that I had left in order to tame my now wild hair! I won't buy this Volume cream again!
