In my desperation to regrow my temples, I got caught up in
the hype of the ORS Hair video.
I have been a big fan of the ORS brand ever since I fell in love with their ORS
Deep Conditioner (which I swear by and can’t live without). So that, on top of the fact that they talk
about Traction Alopecia specifically in the video had me hooked! So I was super
excited to give it a shot.
So I went
to the store and cringed as I shelled out over $50 bucks on 4 of the 5
products. (I chose not to use the uplifting shampoo because it contained
sulfates. I used my moisturizing sulfate free shampoo instead.) I only
purchased the Scalp Scrub, Hair Mayonnaise, Temple Balm and the Hair
fertilizer.
The Products:
The
Scalp Scrub is a complicated little guy. In the Scrub package, it comes
with a small jar of amber gel, 3 plastic mixing cups, a measuring cup, and a
funky looking tooth brush to apply the gel. Now to use the product, you have to
mix the gel and baking soda (not included) in the provided plastic cups. Then gently apply to your scalp with the
tooth brush. After applying, gently massage your scalp with your fingers in
little circles. Next, your hair needs to be covered with a shower cap for 15-20
minutes. DO NOT apply heat! This product is recommended to be used one to two
times a month.
The Hair Mayonnaise is a thick pale
orange cream. You apply a liberal amount of this conditioner to your hair after
shampooing and leave on for at least 15 minutes. You are encouraged to use this product once a
week.
The Temple Balm is in a lotion like
balm that is to be massaged into your temples and nape morning and night.
The Hair fertilizer is a heavy white
cream that looks like vanilla bean ice-cream. (DON’T EAT IT) It is to be
applied to your scalp and combed through to your hair daily.
My Review:
The Scalp Scrub was a little on the
smelly side (It reminded me a vick’s vapor rub.), but it wasn’t a deal breaker
because it’s was not on my hair for too long. However, I didn’t like that funky
tooth brush at all!! I found that the applicator brush (used in applying relaxers
and hair dying) worked MUCH better.
The Hair Mayonnaise was simple to
apply. However, I would caution ladies who (like me) do most of your shampooing
in the shower, to take caution. This product is so thick that it left lots of
orange residue in my drain when rinsing out. (ewww) I would advise anyone to
rinse out the product in the sink or take time out to clean up your tub when
you’re done. J
The Temple Balm feels better than Dr.
Miracles. It feels more like a lotion and absorbs quickly into the skin. No
grease, no residue, no mess.
The Hair fertilizer is creamy and nice.
Smells descent, feels nice.
Time Frame of Use and
quantity: I did a solid 30 days. I never had to restock
on any of the products
Results:
Um…maybe it’s just the pictures…but my temples look worse. Now, you have to
keep in mind that I didn’t use all five products. I left the shampoo out.
However, I did still expect to see SOME results. After only 30 days, I can
proclaim no real results in terms of temple hair growth.
HOWEVER, I have noticed an improvement in my
over-all hair health. Out of the four products that I did use, two I have
decided to keep in my regiment; The Scalp Scrub and the Hair Mayonnaise.
The Scalp Scrub:
Works wonders for scalp health and dandruff. This product kept my dandruff at
bay and made my scalp appear very clean and healthy. Definitely my favorite
dandruff scalp treatment so far.
The Hair Mayonnaise:
I used to be one of those girls who thought putting mayonnaise on your hair was crazy! I won’t even eat the stuff on a
sandwich. But, this ORS hair mayonnaise has me sold! My hair comes out soft as
butter! I truly believe the main contributor to my hair health in the last
month is due to the mayonnaise. I can now officially add it to my “can’t live
without” list.
This article is just my personal testament
on this treatment system. Since everyone is different, your results may vary.
If you try it, let me know what you think.
