EVO Hair products are an Australian brand, so it is not necessarily a 'natural hair' brand/products. They target (presumably) Caucasian/straighter hair.  As I live in Australia, I like finding products intended for straighter hair that work well with my hair texture too. My mum, sister and I used to have the assumption that products not intended/marketed towards black hair is not meant to be used at all. We mostly stuck with Dark&Lovely or ORS hair products. 

Since going natural, I have not been scared to experiment with these products as well. I figured some of the ingredients are similar to that in black hair products so, why not give them a chance?  

I initially received their Mane Attention Protein Treatment as a sample and of course had my views and biases. I had never tried an actual protein treatment product so I gave it a shot. 

I washed my hair and applied about 3/4 of the sample I received onto my wet hair. I left it on for 5 minutes whilst in the shower.  I then followed with my regular conditioner. 

I was impressed. I had less breakage and knots after the protein treatment (which probably meant my hair was crying out for one too). 

The EVO protein treatment is the first Aussie product to make it's way into my staples basket.  It is not such a harsh protein treatment as I initially thought it was. I liked to use it after I removed a set of braids to reduce the breakage that would follow during the next braiding session.  

I decided to buy the whole product. I ordered the protein treatment online, along with the EVO moisture mask.

The EVO moisture mask was not as great as the protein treatment in my opinion. I used it alone after a wash. It was an awesome detangler and gave my hair great slip. But I have not repurchased it since. 

Now that I do not intend to wear long-term protective hairstyles anymore, I use the Mane Attention twice a month due to my current hair regime.

As naturals we tend to dismiss hair treatments not aimed specifically for natural hair or ones that are not as popular within the natural hair community but it's good to be open sometimes. Especially if you live in a country that does not really have much black hair care products floating around. 

Some of these products are gems that no one knows about and I want to share them with you too.
