Palmer's Olive Oil Formula Gro Therapy Review

I have thick, frizzy, wild hair. There, I said it. When I was a kid my hair was never brushed. I had (unintentional)dreadlocks and my sister used to call me Robert Plant. I really hated brushing my hair, guys! In fact, my mom used to make my sisters chase me down to brush my hair, and my mom was a beautician... One time when we were camping they drove me out into the woods on a four-wheeler to brush my hair where no one could hear me scream. That is how bad it was.

Now as an adult, it is still a pain in the ass to take care of my hair. It's still thick as hell, frizzy and prone to locking up. The problem is not only do I have a lot of hair, but the texture of it is really odd. I've always been jealous of the girls who have the fine, baby-soft locks. It's not fair. I have head full of snakes compared to them. Just call me Medusa.

Really my hair reminds me Witch Hazel from Merry Melodies. That is really what it looks like. It sticks out all over, I have some strands that are really thin and soft, and then I have some that are thick and kind of rough, and then there are the "wild hairs". You know what I am talking about. The ones that stick straight out of my head like a bristle. They're really wiry and rough and I sometimes I can feel them when I run my fingers through my hair. This drives me NUTS! Once I feel one I am obsessed with plucking it out. Ok, I have really gotten off track, but the point I am trying to make is I have wild hair.

I've used just about every silkening, smoothing, softening, shining product there is out there. I've tried a variety of brands for the expensive Argan oils, to the cheap drug store leave-in conditioners. I've never found anything that works like I want. Most stuff just leaves my hair looking greasy.

I only wash my hair about twice a week, because if I do it too much it gets brittle. Which is fine by me because washing my hair takes forever. I'm telling you, my hair is extremely thick. Anyway, while browsing at the dollar store today I was looking at the ethnic hair products, because I was thinking that the actual texture of my hair and noticed some of the hair oil. I know that most ethnic hair products are quite right for white hair, but I always used to use my roommates scalp oil and it seemed ok on my hair.

I picked up a jar of Palmer's Olive Oil Formula Gro Therapy and WOW! I love this stuff! It's a way better formula than whatever I borrowed of my old roommate all those years ago. I put a little bit on parts of my dry scalp and then I rubbed some into the rest of my hair. Now, remember, my hair is a beast that can never be fully tamed, but this stuff softened it and smoothed it down a lot without giving it that 'too much product' feeling.

It is more like an olive oil gel butter than an oil and it has a nice scent that isn't too overpowering. I had to fight the urge to rub the whole container on my head. That is how much I love this stuff. The best part about it? It was only a $1.50!

So if you are looking for a nice product to soften and smooth your hair I would recommend this! I think this would work well on a finer hair texture as long as you use it very sparingly and only put it on the ends and not the roots, but for less than two bucks it is not really a waste if you try it out and it doesn't work. Also, if you don't like it you can send your leftovers to me! XD
