TreasureTress Length Check with Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Collection

I’ve mentioned the TreasureTress subscription box a few times on the blog.

TreasureTress is a UK monthly product discovery box for young girls and women with natural, kinky, curly and coily hair.

The box costs £20 a month and you have 3 options:

Mini-me box – recommended ages 2-9yrs
Tween box – recommended ages 10-17Yrs
Qween box – 18+

I’m not currently subscribed but I always keep my eye out for their one-off boxes.

So back in September their Qween box was another Mielle Organics Takeover which I was excited to see as I’m a huge fan of the brand.

You can check out my previous posts Review – Mielle Organics and Treasure Tress September Box – Mielle Organics Takeover

So after eyeing the box for a week, thankfully they decided to make the boxes available as a one-off purchase for £25.

I did the math and this box is worth around £70 which is a MEGA BARGAIN!!!!

I quickly jumped online and ordered 2 boxes (hey I wasn’t about to miss out on a bargain) and soon afterwards they literally sold out!

Here’s what’s in the box:

This box is a Length check takeover with Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Collection

*CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

I like to use pre-poo treatments to prep my hair for shampoo. This one has a liquid consistency and a lovely minty scent. I divide my hair into four sections, apply the pre-poo treatment directly on the scalp and hair and gently massage. Then I cover my hair with a shower cap for 15 minutes. I personally think this product would be easier to use in a spray bottle rather than a tube.

Step Two: Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Exfoliating Shampoo (RRP £13.99)

Our Exfoliating Shampoo with Mongongo Oil is the perfect solution for removing excessive buildup from products or dirt/excess oils. This shampoo not only cleanses but removes build up without depleting hair of its natural moisture.

*CERTIFIED ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

So I followed the instructions and didn’t rinse out the pre-poo treatment. I then applied a small amount of the shampoo to my hair and gently massaged my scalp. I lathers well and has a gorgeous scent. I left it on for two minutes and then rinsed with warm water. It left my hair clean without leaving it dry or stripped which is a winner for me.

Step Three: Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Hydrating Conditioner (RRP £14.99)

So the Babassu deep conditioner is my staple so I had high hopes for this one. The consistency is much thicker than the Babassu and it smells amazing too.

I sectioned my hair and applied the conditioner. It didn’t have as much slip as I would have liked but I was able to finger detangle with ease.

I sat under my steamer for 15 minutes and then rinsed.

My hair was super soft and hydrated but I didn’t like the way my hair felt, it felt like there was a film left on my hair, like when I use a product with silicones. I can’t see any silicones in the ingredients however. I really wanted to love this conditioner, it was just ok for me, nothing special so I will be sticking to my staple Babassu deep conditioner.

Step Four: Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Pomade to Oil Treatment (RRP £13.99)

Our Pomade to Oil Treatment with Mongongo Oil is the perfect solution for soothing dry scalp, eliminating frizz, and adding an impeccable amount of shine. This shine enhancer is made from a blend of organic Mongongo oil designed to reconstruct and protect against damage from heat.

I tend to heat style my hair just twice a year. I’ve had heat damage in the past so I’m always extra cautious. Anyway my hair was due for a trim and it’s easier for me to do this when my hair is stretched.

So this product has ‘silicones’ and the only time I’m fine with using them is to protect my hair when I’m applying direct heat.

I applied it to my hair in sections and detangled before using my blow dryer. It doesn’t leave my hair feeling sticky or weighed down which is great.
