Review: Qhemet Biologics - Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee



From the Qhemet Biologics web site:
Softens & detangles with pure Cocoa Butter and nourishing botanicals!

Product Description:
* Restores manageability, softness and elasticity to normal to very dry hair. Smoothes cuticles, improves combing ability and reduces breakage.
* Natural dark chocolate scent.

Ingredients: Distilled Water, Nettle, Barley, Horsetail Extracts, Pure Cocoa Butter, PPG-3 Benzyl Ether Myristate, MSM Sulfur, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Behenamidopropyl Dimethylamine, Butylene Glycol, perservatives (paraben and formaldehyde free)

Review: If you like the smell of pure cocoa, you will love the smell of Cocoa Tree Detangling Ghee as it smells very much like an old-fashioned cocoa butter stick.

The product texture is thick and creamy with a slight texture to it.

I used the product as a leave-in conditioner by applying section by section prior to twisting my hair in large twist to air dry.

I was afraid it was going to cause a serious acne flair up because by the next morning. I had a sore spot on the side of my forehead and thought for sure that a big pimple was on the way. Luckily, it passed with and I didn't suffer any major outbreaks.

The product left my hair well conditioned and very moisturized. I found the product to leave my forehead a little oily the first couple of days, which I HATE.

I LOVE Qhemet Biologics Amla/Olive Heavy Cream, Olive/Honey Hydrating Balm, and Amla Oil Pomade and have used all three successfully for quite some time. The retail price is $14 for 5 ounces for so I jumped at the chance to try the product for $10 with shipping when I was contacted directly by a member of Naturally Curly's Curltalk forum.

I will not be purchasing the product again as I didn't like the overly greasy feel but am thrilled that I had the opportunity to try it.

  1. I agree, the product is definitely greasy. I made the mistake of trying to do a twist out with it. I looked like I got electrocuted...LOL.

    You send the money to them or they to you via PayPal and the product gets shipped.

  9. Thanks for the review on this product . I was wondering if you could recommened a good product for me to use , I am newly at being natural as 6/8/09, however I am finding myself being overwhelmed as there many good products suggested. I have a few good leads that other naturale's were kind enough to share with me. I am looking to achieve the big curly , kinky afro look. Thanks.
