Anyone see the Ojon segment on QVC last night?- UPDATE

Suburbanbushbabe

Man I am so ready to buy the treatment. A hair salon/retail outlet in the mall has it.

I didn't see that segment, but I was looking on the ojon site and they have some new products that look great. The ojon treatment is good stuff, but the smell is pretty strong, but I don't mind it at all. It will last long time too (the treatment).

Ya I did. It was so interesting, but i had to turn it b/c I was afraid I'd start buying EVERYTHING!

I was considering on ordering it from Sephora anyway, and watching that just convinced me to go ahead and do it. I'm going to get the Discovery Kit which comes w/ the shampoo, conditioner, and a mid sized bottle of the treatment.

I just have GOT to start spending the extra money on good hair products because my hair is just breaking off everywhere!

I watch the Ojon programs almost every time they're on. The products sound really different and interesting. And Denis Simioni is certainly easy to look at. The only reason I haven't tried it yet is because I'm used to buying really cheap hair products and can't bring myself to spend that much. It is alot cheaper on QVC than at Sephora so I'll probably give in sometime when I'm watching them on QVC.
Their new face serum looked like it might also be worth trying someday.

I tried some of the treatment at my aunt's house over xmas, made me all shiney but unlike hockeymom I couldn't stand the smell! Yik!

I just tried a sample of the Ojon DT. I liked it and will be purchasing a full-sized jar so I can give my FINAL review.

I also want the Ultra Hydrating Conditioner and the Tawaka Cleanser & Conditioner. They look delicious. :shock:

It definitely took me a bit to get used to it.

I went through a jar of the treatment about a year ago. I didn't get significant results enough to repurchase for that reason, but I'd be tempted because the scent is strangely addictive-- it turned me off at first, then I wanted to keep smelling it.

Very intrigued by their other products too, especially the styling paste.

I guess I'm one strange bear 'cause I love the smell.

Hrrrrrmmmmm... I have two Sephora gift cards to burn. Looks like I'm going to have to try the Ojon DT. Sounds heavenly!

I was considering the "Try Me" kit, but I don't want to fall in love with anything that costs $50 a bottle and needs to be used daily. :shock:

Oregano (formerly babywavy)

I ended up choosing to buy Jessicurl products for my hair. I'll have to try the Ojon another time.

I wouldn't mind buying the treatment, expensive as it is, b/c it's so concentrated, I imagine you use very little of it.

Hmm...wonder what it smells like. I'll have to stop at Sephora and do a sniff test. I only want the Restorative Treatment. I've been sampling Sapote Oil from Anita Grant and absolutely love it. It's oil from the Dominican Republic and I'm thinking the Ojon could do the same thing without my having to pay Royal Mail postage and wait 2 weeks.

The treatment smells (to me) like iced coffee with a tobacco overlay, and a hint of cinnamon. Plus something else I can't define, a sort of nutty scent. I have heard those who dislike it say it smells like dirty ashtray, so it varies from nose to nose. It's definitely a strong scent-- I got looks at the gym when I wore it to my workout :oops: (I sometimes oil my hair before a workout then wash it out after)

Suburbanbushbabe

I bought the small size at Sephora yesterday and put it in my hair overnight (with a plastic cap). It definitely smells like coffee grounds or something, and quite strong. But I like its effect which is not only moisturizing, but scalp stimulating. I massaged my scalp for quite awhile due to the Ojon both before, during and after poo. It didn't itch exactly but something was up that I needed to massage my scalp and that felt great. So I can see how this would stimulate hair growth.

Because of the smell I can't use without shampooing my hair. I don't know that I'll repurchase but it is nice treatment. For moisturizing the Anita Grant Sapote Nut oil can probably do the same thing, but doesn't make me want to massage my scalp.

The sales woman at Sephora was also a curly, maybe 3c-ish, so we had the hair admiration thing going and comparing product notes and salons She also gave me samples of the Ojon Hair Serum and the Shine and Protect cream (the one without the cone). Many of the other Ojon products have cones in them, some even the -xane cone. But the color-friendly line does not.

Suburbanbushbabe

OMG my hair feels so soft and wonderful, springy and cottony (which is my texture) even after sleeping on it.

I didn't dampen or re-wet this morning; to shower I bound it lightly in scrunci and put on a plastic cap to keep it dry. The steam softened it a little more. Out of the shower, I smoothed on some Organikah whipped hair butter and slid on a Frank & Kahn Hermes-style silk scarf headband. Pulled it back in a scrunci for 5 minutes while dressing, removed and fluffed and touched....and touched and fluffed. I love this fluffy soft look. There is still texture but it's more like a shorter version of Fadya's hair from December holiday looks:

Sounds great!! I love looking at her pic..she has such awesome hair. Glad you are having success with Ojon! I do like their treatment too. I'm probably about due for one myself!

I tried this yesterday and loved it! The smell actually didn't bother me at all, and my hair felt so nice and soft!

I also got the Animated Styling Cream, which helped cut down my frizzy sections, but with my gel made my hair feel very producty. I may try it by itself next time, or use less gel with it.

I am so glad it worked! I can't wait to use it again.

I got a sample of the Animated but only used on a few strands; it does feel heavy. I saw 2 styling creams, and one had cones, the other didn't The other, the Leave-in Cream is the one with the cones. I also got a sample of the Conditioning style serum. Just checked the ingredients on-line and the -xane cone is #1 so into the garbage it goes!

ETA - if you go on the Ojon site, they list upcoming QVC and Shopping Network segment schedules for the US, UK & Canada

I'm trying the styling cream by itself today to see what it does. My hair is still wet, but already I don't have the frizzy pieces on the sides that I *always* get. So maybe that's a good sign!

Thanks for the tip on the site – I looked at it a bit earlier this week, but I'll have to look for the TV schedule now.

I splurged. I purchased the 16 oz Restorative Treatment, the Tawaka Rejuvenating Cleanser and Conditioner Duo, and the Tawaka Rejuvenating Cream.

I've used the RT for two years now and love it. This was my second purchase of the 16 oz size. I also include the Ojon Hydrating shampoo and conditioner in my product rotation on a regular basis. Both are great products.

I'm now loving the Ojon Tawaka line after one week of use. I've been experimenting with the Tawaka "conditioner" as a leave in. Wonderful. OMG! I mean shine and softness unlike any product that I've tried so far in my natural journey. One tablespoon layered under gel and I'm good-to-go. I ordered more from QVC today because the idea of being without it would be too much to bear.

As for the cost of these products, on a "per treatment" basis, the Ojon products really are not that expensive. They are intense, rich and unfailingly effective. Considering how much money I've spent on products that don't work since going natural, I'll keep putting my money on products that work for me. Love the Ojon.

Wow - where did you find the 16 oz. size? How much did it cost?

CoilyGirl

I found the 16 ounce size on QVC for $91.66--$105.00 after taxes of $6.87 and shipping of $6.47. The 16 ounce size is only made available on Ojon's anniversary date at QVC. Dec. 29 - 31 was their second anniversary at QVC--that's when I purchased my second large jar. By the way, I still have about 25% of the first jar!! A little goes a loooonnnnnnngggggg way. The large size is no longer available--I just checked.

If you sign up on the Ojon website, they will send you notices about their specials and upcoming appearances on QVC. For example, last weekend, Ojon had free shipping on all products purchased through their website.

HTH,

OK, I tried the Animated Styling Cream in place of my normal leave-in today. I scrunched it in before plopping and then scrunched in my gel afterward.

DISASTER. My hair didn't curl, but it broke up into weird really skinny pieces that kinked and bent in weird directions. But it FEELS fantastic. So... I'm not sure what to do. Maybe it's just over moisturized now? I didn't co-wash today, just conditioned with my [buylink=http://www.curlmart.com/Jessicurl-Too-Shea-Extra-Moisturizing-Conditioner-p-105.html?utm_source=naturallycurly.com&utm_medium=text-link&utm_content=curltalk-post-text&utm_campaign=jessicurl-too-shea-extra-moisturizing-conditioner]Too Shea[/buylink]! after using a tiny bit of the Restorative Treatment overnight. Maybe I just got excited and overdid it?

Finally gave in and got some of the treatment on Ebay.
I was a bit leary since some strong scents trigger my migraines (but it's usually florals and no one mentioned this smelling floral).
Well, I was instantly addicted to the smell. To me it smells like sandalwood, chocolate, burning leaves, tree sap, and something else I can't quite place. That probably sounds unpleasant but it's not, at least to my nose.
The first day I just put some in my hair after it was totally dry and styled just to see what it would do. It really feels great in my hair. It made my hair really soft and silky feeling. Actually it was softer than I really like my hair to be (I know that's weird, but I like my hair to be a bit crunchy and more controlled).
So last night I put some through my hair before I went to bed, then in the morning I condition washed, etc, as usual. My hair is still softer than usual today, but it's bouncier.
I'm liking this stuff so far. I think I'll keep using it at nite (that means I get to smell it for 8 hours!).
I normally don't spend more than a buck or two on any one hair product (my hair likes the cheap stuff) and although I got this cheaper on Ebay, it's still way more than I would normally spend. But, as others have said, you only need to use a teeny bit so it should last a long time.

Your description of the scent sounds very nice to me. One of these days I am actually going to buy this stuff. I don't know what's taking me so long.

I tried the Ojon deep treatment a couple of years ago. Though a lot of folks don't like the smell, I really did, and I'm generally a person that doesn't even wear perfume or Bath & Body Shop lotions because I can't stand to smell them for extended periods.

Suburbanbushbabe

I used it again yesterday -- during my hour workout, on dry hair, then washed with Anita Grant's shampoo bar and conditioned with Robert Craig conditioner (also used as a leave-in). Styled with a little [buylink=http://www.curlmart.com/CURLS-Curls-Milkshake-p-884.html?utm_source=naturallycurly.com&utm_medium=text-link&utm_content=curltalk-post-text&utm_campaign=Curls-Curls-Milkshake]Milkshake[/buylink] and [buylink=http://www.curlmart.com/Jessicurl-Confident-Coils-Styling-Solution-p-116.html?utm_source=naturallycurly.com&utm_medium=text-link&utm_content=curltalk-post-text&utm_campaign=jessicurl-confident-coils-styling-solution]Confident Coils[/buylink].

This stuff makes my hair so soft. I love that springy soft cottony feeling of my curls. Better results though, when I leave it on overnight.
