Review: Vitale Pro 3 in 1 Design Lotion

I love the Vitale Pro 3 in 1 design lotion for smoother hair.  It provides a firm hold, but not a crunchy one.  However, hair that is too underprocessed  or hair that is too porous, the design lotion will crystallize on the hair as it dries.  The crystallization is not bad, but I would be prepared with a creme moisturizer as a final step in case the client's hair does produce some lightweight flakes.

I definitely do not recommend cocktailing any leave-in conditioners nor extra serums with this design lotion.  A little of this lotion goes a long way.  You just have to gradually work the spray in and distribute.

For the roller set clients that this lotion does work for, they love the long lasting hold from setting their hair with this lotion.  It is a "ready to use" formula.  There is no mixing.  I have not tried this design lotion on dreadlocks, and I would be afraid of crystallization in the locks.  So Lock wearers should probably sit this one out.

Type 3 relaxed curl patterns seem to set the best with this lotion.

Hairspray that Holds Lock Styling!

 BAM!  Oops there it is!  LOL!  My new lock styling "love machine:"  John Frieda Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray!

 Now, you may need a hydration spray to undo the lock hold for restyling the next day, but other than that, you can hold that special occasion styling through a humid day or a hot night.

I had the spray pressed down on full blast while I was manipulating my locks, and it allowed me to pat and mold the locks in place.

So below is what I started with . . . straight locks!

Pictured below,  I then pincurled my locks with setting lotion and anchored them with scrunchies the night before.

The pin curls gave me crinkles, but no volume!  So I went to hairspraying and scrunching my locks and patting them and molding them to achieve the look below!

The best part of this hairspray is that Walmart stores sell the can for about $4.00 or $5.00 USD.  I am sold yet again!

Almost one year and seven months lock-versary!  I can achieve a swoop with the hairspray holding it!
