nuNAAT-NAAT Brazilian Keratin Daily Care hair care line- Review

Complete nuNAAT hair care line 

I have always had long thick hair and took pride in it, until a couple of years ago when I ombred my hair and it literally fried off! I have been a blonde, a brunette, a red head, and even had pink in my hair! Who knew giving into the fade of ombre hair would be such a nightmare? My hair started off mid-way down my back and little by little my hair would break off until my hair was above my shoulders and looked slightly like a mullet! Let me tell you, it was horrible! I cried daily and was in disbelief. Thank goodness for extensions!  I didn’t have to chop all of my hair off and I could go out into the world!

I was trying everything to repair my hair and the only thing that worked really well and actually made a difference in my hair was AVEDA Invati Exfoliating Shampoo and Conditioner. My only issue with it is how expensive it is. It really did help repair my hair so I took the plunge and spent $106 for a 33.8oz bottle of shampoo and another $106 on a 33.8oz bottle of conditioner a whopping total of over $212!  Over the last year they have been my go product, but I just hated how expensive everything was so when I was contacted by nuNAAT to see if I was interested in trying out a hair care line of their products I was so excited! What really intrigued me after doing some research is what their products claim to do, how affordable they are, and how I am able to pick them up at my local Walgreens!

nuNAAT has several different hair care lines depending on your hair care needs and I decided to go with their NAAT Brazilian Keratin Daily Care, I really like how it claimed it would help my damaged hair and repair hair health and I would be able to use it daily if I wanted. I usually wash my hair every other day or every two days but I wanted something gentle enough that I wouldn’t have to worry about using it often. Here are some of main claims that really caught my eye!

The main ingredient in this line is Green Keratin which has great benefits including

· Works with all hair types to repair cuticle damage

·  Regenerates & strengthens hair fibers while restoring natural shine & softness

·  Seals hair cuticles to reduce volume and frizz

·  Makes hair resilient & healthy

·  Formaldehyde & sodium chloride free

BENEFITS Works with all hair types to repair cuticle damage.  Regenerates & strengthens hair fibers while restoring natural shine & softness.  Seals hair cut is to reduce volume and frizz.  Makes hair resilient & healthy.

Sounds pretty amazing right?! I thought so and couldn’t wait to start using the hair care line! In the NAAT Brazilian Keratin Daily Care line I received NAAT Brazilian Keratin Deep Moisturizing Shampoo, NAAT Brazilian Keratin Deep Moisturizing Conditioner, NAAT Brazilian Keratin Intensive Hair Mask, NAAT Brazilian Keratin Liquid Keratin Leave Conditioner and NAAT Brazilian Keratin Serum Ultra Shine. I want to mention the sleek packaging; everything matches perfectly and gives you brief directions on how to use the product on the bottles. All of the products basically have the same scent, which is a faint nice clean smell. I will now go on to review each one of the products that I received and if they really need meet their expectations.

*Side Note* to better understand where I am coming from, I just want to mention that my hair is processed, recently highlighted and damaged at the ends. I have naturally wavy hair. My hair gets extremely frizzing in the warm weather and humidity. I would say my hair is semi course and dry at the ends, my hair gets oily at the roots and my bangs if I go longer than a day or two of not washing my hair. This is just to understand my hair care needs and what my natural state of my hair is. Daily I blow dry, straighten, and curl my hair and spend about 30-45 minutes styling my hair.

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Deep Moisturizing Shampoo

This shampoo is almost exactly like my AVEDA Invati that I was using! Literally but for a faction of the price! It comes in a 10.1 oz bottle and is around $5.99 a bottle. The first thing I noticed about this is how the shampoo does not make huge foam bubbles and if this is your first time using a shampoo with mild surfactants, it can alarm you thinking the product is not getting your hair clean. In fact it is deep cleaning your hair, but doing so without being so harsh. So be aware of this and how you will not get a ton of bubbles out of this product. The formula of this shampoo is very thin so make sure not to use too much product.  If using this shampoo alone without a conditioner your hair can tend to be a little knotting, this happens to me though with any type of shampoo if I skip conditioner.

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Deep Moisturizing Conditioner

Just like with the Shampoo, this Deep Moisturizing Conditioner comes in a 10.1 oz. bottle and is $5.99 .I really enjoyed using this conditioner! It made my hair look silky and free of knots. I would keep the conditioner on for about 2 minutes. The formula has a nice thickness to it and left my hair feeling so soft!

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Liquid Keratin Leave Conditioner

Again the leave in conditioner comes in a 10.1 oz. bottle and is $6.99 . How I used this was after using the shampoo and conditioner from the hair care line I applied a small amount of the leave in conditioner in my hair really concentrating on my ends (that is where I have the most issues) and I let it sit for a few minutes. I then blow dried and styled my hair as normal with my straightener and curling iron. Wow! When using the leave in conditioner it made my split ends so much less noticeable! That is what stood out to me the most! nuNAAT states that “The leave-in is activated by the blow-dryer and a flat iron will seal hair cuticles causing keratin to effectively penetrate hair fibers. Designed for frequent use or as needed”.  I did use this a few times and if you use to much your hair can look weighed down, so using less Is best. This lasts all day leaving your hair soft and frizz free!

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Intensive Hair Mask

Ohh mii goodness! I love this stuff! This is what I was most excited about to share with you in my review! The NAAT Brazilian Keratin Intensive Hair Mask is literally like magic in a tub!  It comes in a pretty large 17.6oz tub and retails for $6.99 . This is amazing! The formula is so thick and feels so nice when you put it onto your hair. A little goes a long way so don’t take a huge handful! You have to leave this on for about 10-20 minutes, all I did was wash my hair with the shampoo, then right away apply this hair mask and go about my shower like normal, shaved, washed my face, and  body and after about 15 minutes rinsed it out. The hair mask left my hair so beautiful. I did not have one knot in my hair. My hair looked and felt so soft and hydrated. It was easy to run my fingers through my hair. This mask is by far my favorite product from the entire line! My hair was so manageable and absolutely no frizz! You should use the hair mask once every week or two. This will be a repurchase!

NAAT Brazilian Keratin Serum Ultra Shine

The serum comes in a 2oz bottle and is only $5.99, while that may not seem like a lot of product it is! You only need a couple of drops of this and your hair will be so shinny and moisturized! I have a love-hate relationship with this serum; I tried it in both wet hair (then blow dried) and in dry hair. I really feel you have to be careful using this because if you use too much of the serum your hair will look gross! You will have a greasy, weighed down mess, and no volume at all! I have used serums in the past and always am left with the same feeling of they just aren’t my favorite product. I like how it left my hair shiny and healthy and helped with my dry ends but I did feel it weighed my hair down just a tad. This is a step I will most likely skip unless I am wearing my hair straight for the day or it is a high humidity day, since this does help with my frizz.

Overall, the hair care line really did impress me! I have never used a hair care line from the drugstore with such salon quality results. My hair feels smoother; I have way less frizz and overall my hair looks so much healthier then when it started off. I went on vacation while using the hair care system and the main thing I noticed was the frizz control! Usually when I spend a lot of time outside, by the end of the day my hair will look like I stuck my finger in a light socket and I’ll have Albert Einstein hair but not with nuNAAT, my hair did stay smooth all day long! My hair has looked very shiny and it is more manageable.

Now nothing is perfect and some of the issues I had with this hair care line is that on the days that I would have freshly clean hair and did the entire process of shampoo, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, and the serum my hair would barely hold a curl. I think this has to do with how smooth it was from the leave in conditioner and serum. This bothered me a lot since I wear my hair curled on a daily basis. I rarely wear my hair completely straight and I like my hair to look like it has a lot of volume. Wearing my hair curled helps with the layers I have and helping it blend all together. So for myself, if I would skip the leave in conditioner and the serum, my hair would completely curl like normal and I had no issues. Using the serum helps with making my hair shiny but I felt like it does weigh my hair down and is something I don’t see myself using before I curl my hair. If I am looking to wear my hair straight it does work. If you aren’t careful and you use too much of either the leave in conditioner or serum, your hair can look oily and weighed down, so be mindful of that. This is not a negative on the product but really on how you apply it.

I love how affordable these products are and how there are so many locations I can go pick up a bottle if I run out. They even have a store locator on their website which is helpful; you can find a store near you at http://www.nunaat.com/store-locator

I will continue to use these products and nuNAAT now has a new customer! I think for under $10 a bottle they live up to their claims. It is better than having to go to an Aveda store and dish out a ton of money when I have noticed such similar results.

Before and After (using the hair care line for about two weeks) my hair looks and feels a lot softer, looks smoother, less frizz, more manageable and barely any knots!

If you’re interested in what I just got done talking about here in their direct link to the hair care line I have been using http://www.nunaat.com/products/naat-brazilian-keratin-daily-care/?cat=323

nuNAAT did live up to their claims, I do feel my hair is healthier, stronger, with way more shine and softness but what I love most is the control on my frizz and how my split ends are less noticeable.

Have you ever used nuNAAT? What is your favorite hair care line and products?
