Motions Straight Finish Review + Giveaway [CLOSED]

I love to rock my curly hair but I do like to switch it up from time to time. So when I was contacted by Motions to review their new Straight Finish Product I was very excited because I've been growing my hair out and I want to see how long it was. 

So here's a little info on their new 3-step system: Motions Straight Finish lets you go from curly to straight and bounce right back to natural curls. The Bounce Back Formula preps, protects, and seals your hair. So unlike permanent straightening systems, your hair will return to its natural curly texture after one wash.

Check out my transformation below:

PREP – Motions Straight Finish™ Cleanser ($6.99): Re-hydrating conditioning shampoo, blended with Shea Butter and Keratin, helps replenish moisturization for naturally curly textures.

PROTECT – Motions Straight Finish™ Leave-In Conditioner ($6.99): Formulated for natural textures, with coconut oil and keratin, this leave-in formula adds a layer of strengthening moisturizers that helps protect hair before heat styling.

Pictured above is my curls after I washed with the Motions Straight Finish Cleanser and applied the Leave-In Conditioner and I used my hand-held dryer to blow and dry my hair out and then straighten my hair with a regular flat iron.

SEAL – Motions Straight Finish™ Sealer ($6.99): A heat-straightening serum formulated for natural textures and infused with almond oil and keratin. Helps retain moisturization and frizz control.

Straight Finish

My Thoughts: The products smell amazing and left my hair super soft and easy to detangle. Once my hair was straight it was super shiny and very bouncy. Over all I love the results and I will be using them again.

I have Two Motions Straight Finish kits to giveaway.

TO ENTER:

•  Leave your name and email address in the comment box below

Contest will Run from Monday February 11th Until Saturday February 15th
