PRODUCT REVIEW: JACK-5ive ACTIVATOR MOISTURIZER GEL

Helloooo…..Awayu..(some Olamide things)….Another rainy day today and it was just the perfect thing for me. I needed the cool weather to rest and recuperate. Please what is this whole world cup thing that’s making all these men loose sight of us??? All wives and girlfriends and fiancées would have to endure their men cheating on them with Super sport ooo. No more E! and Style.com for us till further notice…Even Boo is out of range now sef….My dear sisters we should hook up to console ourselves ooo…LOL. Anyways, my Super screen interview will be showing tomorrow (Saturday) by 4.00pm and on Sunday by 7.00 pm on UHF 45 Local TV and Channel 132 on Star times. Please don't abuse me plenty o. Ayam a shy woman. Thank you.

I really need to start taking better care of my hair (we haff enta today tori)... I know my hair is beautiful and I'm proud of her but all these ‘serenren’ I see on all these natural hair blogs don't even help matters. Like one should wear a satin cap before going to bed!...which one be dat? **shey me that I always Jarunpa (roll on the bed) every time?. No matter how hard I try, I'm sure the cap will always remove so I don't even bother wearing it..*covers face** I try to wash at least once in two weeks and deep condition the hair too but I am a very lazy pelzin (person in jenifa's voice). ..I'm sure if my hair had legs, it would run away soon if I don't start doing something. So I'm setting a goal for my hair. It must have grown “neck-length” by the end of the year and it’s feasible. So I've decided to get some hair care products and of course make space in my cupboard for all of them. While cleaning earlier today, I saw my Jack-5ive activator moisturizer gel. I already forgot I had it....can you just imagine?... I got it when I did my big chop in January and used it only twice. Why did I even ignore the gel for so long? Hmnnn...so I'm doing a little review of it (todays gist gan gan) maybe then I'll remember why I dumped it.

I got this gel out of curiosity because I wanted curls and I wanted to see how this could make my Nigerian hair curl like all those Americanas and Latinos dem dem… First I had to check the ingredient to make sure there was no sulphate and mineral in it and there wasn't. I noticed the first ingredient is water which is a good thing and then followed by two humectants (humectants are substances in hair products used to promote moisture retention). Seeing the ingredients were exactly what suited me, I got it. I applied it the following day on my hair to start the curling process but it was extra greasy. Maybe it was me or it was the gel but it was really greasy but it made my hair very soft. I was touching my hair the whole day. It is very good for moisturising and conditioning your hair. It also has a sweet sugary taste (covers face)...I didn't lick it o but every time I put my hand in my mouth, it tasted sweet. I don't know some of our uncles have done the fake o, but it has a golden yellow colour which becomes transparent once applied to the hair.

VERDICT: If I want to judge by the smell (the smell is a turn off for me),I'll give it a 5/10 (make dem put small better perfume na..) but ignoring the smell, I'll give it a 7. I've noticed a little curl on my front hair but I'll keep trying.

SHOULD YOU GET IT? I think you should. You would love your hair texture after trying it.

HOW MUCH IS IT? I got it for 800 naira in a shop in Ikeja and depending on how you use it, you might not need to buy another in a year.

Thanks for reading through. Please how can I keep my cap on when I'm sleeping o…(dey say I’m a ninja when I sleep…LOL) I would welcome suggestions…..maybe I should tie my head in place when I sleep…LOL

NOTE: Every product or movie review I do is my personal opinion ooo. I'm not trying to run anyone or any product down. I only use this avenue to help my friends here on the blog. Anyone that feels otherwise can send an email to moby.amusu@gmail.com.

Keep taking good care of yourselves….and to the men, enjoy your world cup ooo…Up team Nigeria!
