Product Review: BBD Glass
By Imara, OurHair Reviewer
I had heard about BBD Glass on one of the many hair care sites. The product junkie in my surfaced and my initial thoughts were ?I have to have it!? After a little more exploration of the board I came across a post that said it contained a lot of amino acids and this really turned my off cause my hair would flip out if I put too much protein on it.
A couple of months passed the product junkie won out and I decided that I had to have this products cause I had seen great results from other people who had hair similar to mine. I had the great fortune to take a trip to NYC and I decided to visit a salon (where Glass was sold). I called ahead and ordered the Glass ($19) and planned to pick it up when I got in town.
When I first saw the product I was in the salon and one of the owners let me take a gander at an open jar. It is sold in a 16oz plastic jar and the first thing I noticed was the wonderful smell. I can?t describe it but it was very pleasant to me. When I touched it I noticed that it was a pudding like consistency that didn?t lose it viscosity when you emulsified it between your hands. I unfortunately had to wait two days till I was able to try this out on my hair.
The first time I used it I fell in love instantly with the results except for some apprehension when I first applied it. I applied it to sopping wet hair and it made my hair feel sort of rough to the touch. This did worry me but I continued to apply it the way I was shown at Curve (section by section starting in the back), shook and hoped for the best. After completing a couple of morning tasks around the house, I went back to the bathroom to look at my hair and I was floored by the curl definition. When I had finished with the initial application I had a little halo of frizz here and there, but it was all gone and replaced by shiny perfectly formed coils. As it continued to dry I noticed how soft my hair had become. I don?t know how long it took my hair to dry (should have timed it) but it seemed to dry in less time than usual.
I continued to use the Glass for a full week and I noticed that my hair was still a mass of coils when I would get up in the morning ? and the softness was unbelievable.
Overall I would give this product a double thumbs up on results ? the only draw back it is that is hard to procure if you don?t live in NYC or near the manufacturer. The contact information we have for them is:
