I was pleasantly surprised by how long the Tresemme Botanic Hair Food lasts. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't need to use it as often or if it's just meant to last that long, but it's affordable and good quality!
My only concern with it was that it kind of left my hair a bit oily and pasty after use, and meant that I had to rinse my hair out more than usual because of the build-up of product.
Overall impression: if you want your curls to last longer throughout the day, this product is perfect for that!
I love the TRESemmé Botanique hair food because it leaves my hair soft and shiny. It smells amazing and it keeps my hair moisturised. I would highly recommend it to anyone struggling with dry hair.
Personally not a huge fan of hairfoods but I did try this out a few times. Opted to use it on my hairline and now I have a use for hair food?. Not build which is great
I use the LOC method and I prefer creams over hair food. I used the hair food as the oil just to get the feel of it and my hair loved it however I still prefer liquid oils. I'm totally inlove with the smell???
I love this hairfood ,it smells lovely and really moisturizing.Would have love for it to be in a bigger packaging but besides that it’s worth the purchase.
My hair is a sponge, and it lives for hair food and constantly been moist.
The texture of the hair food was absolutely amazing and smooth and applies so easily Overall, very pleasant to use over the hair.
The smell of the product is absolutely amazing. In fact enchanting :) It stays on the hair through out the day and as you walk, you can literally smell hues of the scent from your own hair! Loved this. The texture of the hair food is pretty good too as it is more moisturizing than the overall dry hair food that is out in the market. I also was impressed by this and this is what sets it apart from their competitors. Would have loved more bigger tub as my hair is 4c and tend to use alot of the product. Overall, very pleasant to use over the hair
I enjoyed this hairfood . I used it as a sealant instead of a moisturizer because it feels more like a butter . I prefer creams as moisturizers but this worked great on top of my cream moisturizer to seal in the moisture. I also used it on its own with just water. I wouldn’t repurchase this hair food , not because it’s terrible but the one I’m currently using is better .
I love to use this to style my hair. I use it to keep the baby hairs flat and style my hair in between washes. A little goes a long way so be careful. It's a treatment and styles your hair in one
For my hair type I don't think this product worked for me, my hair was too oily after use. I don't use hair foods so found the oil rich spray to be a better option for me. This is definitely made for someone which thicker hair.
However this is great for styling closer to wash day.
This product is amazing, I love the smell & the consistency of the hair food. With other hair foods, you’ll find that the consistency is quite thick and you end up having product build up that appears to be white in your hair. My natural hair is always in cornrows because I wear wigs during the wig, so any product that will keep my scalp moisturized and healthy is a big yes for me. For what you get, the product is affordable. I would however suggest that they include some ingredients that promote hair growth for people who need to restore their hair lines and keep it in tact. Other than that, I would give this product a 7/10.
Good job TRESemmé for catering for women of color hair.

I was very pleased with the fragrance/scent of the products.I normally hate how most hair food products smell.This one had a nice pleasant coconut smell which made me feel confident using it.
The product feels really good on my hair and left my hair moisturized.however I would like to see more active ingredients for hair growth.I normally buy hairfoods to keepy scalp moisturized and for hair growth.I missed out on that hair growth factor which other hairfoods offer.
I would definitely repurchase this product during winter because of the cold and dry winters naturals need that extra layer of moisture to nourish their scalp and promote healthy hair growth.
A little definitely goes a long way it's very concentrated, and this probably explains the price. What I don't like about the product is that when applying it it creates a bit of a film on my scalp not allowing any other products to penetrate my scalp. So I would suggest that you put it on your palm and allow it to melt and then use your fingertips. If you initially use your fingertips it won't melt adequately enough. The coconut oil in the product needs to thoroughly melt in order to penetrate your scalp.
The packaging, smell and feel of it is amazing tho!
I prefer wearing wigs in winter, so my afro is always in cornrows. I really love how the hairfood kept my hair and scalp moisturized. It has a nice shine to it as well. I found my scalp was also not as itchy and because I wasnt always scratching my cornrows tend to last much longer.
I think this product would work perfectly for someone with high porosity hair.
If you on the lower/medium porosity side you might just be stuck with weighed down oily hair.
So for those who find thicker products work better with your hair this will be a savoir and especially now during this colder winter period.
For the medium/low porosity sisters you could get away with using this product but maybe for a deep conditioning weekly treatment. Just take abit of the hair food, heat it up and add your favorite conditioners or masks.
I have naturally oily hair so this product just made my hair more oily. I use it a day or two before my wash day. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone with dry hair to help add moisture.
I love this hair food, I am not a hairfood person because they tend to have a lot of oil build up but this one is super light weight and it doesn’t create any flakes! It nourishes your hair and brings in back moisture!
This product is great for everyday use. Having a combination of 4C/B hair, I not only use this hair food to base my scalp, but I use it to moisturizer my protective styling before bed. My hair stays moisturized for days with a daily spritz of clean water. I would totally repurchase it because it doesn't make my hair as greasy as other hair foods do.
