Usage: (Source: Product label)

Hold bottle 6 inches away from the head and spray on dry, damp or styled hair. Re-apply as needed. Perfect for everyday use. 

Price: Php 54.00

Where to buy: Leading supermarkets, department stores, drugstores. Bought mine at Robinsons supermarket.


Many a times, I have experienced all sorts of odor clinging to my hair from smoke, pollution, to sweat and even the smell of foods! And naaah, I hate that when it happens, not to mention it is kind of embarrassing too. That is why this product is a savior for me. It has rescued my tresses from those moments. As you can see in the photo below, I'm on my second bottle. ☺ 


One bottle down, one new bottle to go! ☺
This product is a major thumbs up for me. I use it daily, mostly on damp hair, then any time of the day when I feel the need to freshen up my tresses. Really comes in handy when you are a commuter exposed to dust, pollution and heat. And when I say handy, it literally is handy! You can just stash it in your bag, its light weight, nothing bulky and you're good to go. You can give your hair a spritz any time, any where.


It comes in a clear, plastic, spray on bottle with a flowery sort of feminine design.
I love how it makes my hair smell good. The scent is nothing overpowering, just mild enough to leave your hair fragrant and eliminate any bad odor. The smell though doesn't last that long but it stays for a good hour or two on me and even longer if I'm not outdoors for long and isn't exposed to smoke or pollution. But its nothing bothersome, as it does the job well of freshening up my hair every time I need to. The product has never let me down. Aside from making my hair smell good, it also adds a slight sheen to it. The sheen it gives may not be like that of a hair shine but is enough for me to not use a separate product anymore. At this point, Vitress Hair Freshener is all I need. 


Verdict:

Pros: 
  • It does what it claims to do - Eliminates unwanted odor. 
  • I love the smell. Leaves my hair with a mild fragrance.
  • No sticky - icky, itchy feeling, no residue whatsoever.
  • Gives my hair a slight shine. To date, I'm not using any separate hair shine product.
  • I like that it comes in a clear bottle. Spritzer is good, easy to press, sprays well with no leak. 
  • Very affordable at Php 54.00! 
  • Not hard to find as it can be bought in most leading stores. 
  • Size is convenient to carry around.
  • Proudly a quality product from the Philippines.
Cons:
  • Smell isn't long lasting. But as I've mentioned, it actually isn't a disadvantage for me.

Overall ranking: I give this product a 5 out of 5 star rating!




Final Opinion:

I am very happy and satisfied that I found this local product. It works well, easy to use, is affordable and available in most stores. It is a travel must have for me. I recommend this to any one who wish to have something that could save their hair from unwanted odor and give it a clean, fragrant smell. I think this would be good for regular commuters out there who is exposed to pollution every day. For a climate like ours, this would also freshen up your hair from heat and sweat.

Will I repurchase?

I already did and will continue to do so. ☺At this point, I don't find anything I dislike in this product so I see it becoming a staple in my beauty must haves for quite sometime. 


Using any hair mist/freshener now?

I've had my fair share of lip balms and of all the lip balms I've tried, I'd still go back to this one, my tried and true, from Human ❤ Nature. I love it because it is organic. It gives me peace of mind knowing that what I put on my body is safe and does not have harmful ingredients. It works best for me, never fails to nourish my lips and keep it from chapping, especially after I exfoliate my lips and apply this lip balm, my lips just feels clean and well-moisturized. I use it any time of the day when I feel the need to and as base for lipstick too. It has also been my ritual to use it every night before going to sleep and I always wake up to soft, supple lips in the morning.

The texture and feel of this lip balm was never greasy nor waxy. It is not heavy and sticky, no bad taste or whatsoever. I love how the Peppermint variant feels cool and minty on my lips. I have yet to try the other flavors. The product comes in the typical lip balm tube with a decent  4 g of product. You twist the bottom of the tube and the balm would come out. The packaging is simple  and displays the ingredients, expiration date and manufacturer info. 





The best thing about this lip balm is that it is 100% natural, no harmful chemicals that could damage your lips with long term use. It is safe and good not only for you but for the environment as well. I admire the brand for their advocacy too; Pro - Philippines, Pro-poor and Pro-environment.

If you want to know more about Human ❤ Nature, their products and advocacy, you may visit their website at humanheartnature.com

As much as I can, I prefer to buy organic products and I am glad that there is a brand of affordable natural products like Human ❤Nature. So don't be surprised if you see me review other products from this brand. This is just the first from the many others to come. ☺


Verdict:

Pros:
  • Moisturizing and nourishing
  • No greasy or waxy feeling
  • 100% all natural lip balm
  • affordable at Php 90.00
Cons:

I think it would be better if the product has a plastic seal or some sort of protective covering.

Overall ranking: I am giving this lip balm a 4.5 out of 5 star rating!





Final opinion:

I love this product. A holy grail for me. If you are looking for a good quality lip balm, all natural without the synthetic and harmful chemicals at an affordable price - this is for you.  Gets the job well done! I recommend you try it especially for students on a budget and lip balm junkies out there. 

Will I repurchase? A sure yes! I actually bought this lip balm a couple of times already. I just haven't tried the other flavors yet. I'm thinking of buying grapefruit next. ☺
