Unfortunately I ran out of my famous It's A 10 Miracle Leave In but I was fortunate enough to run across its twin in Sally's a while ago. It's called Miracle 7 Leave in Mist. Lets do a comparison shall we?
My Thoughts:
I like both of these products and I can't really tell them apart. They both have the same spray top and consistency. They both do a good job with the 10 or 7 things that they promise to do for your hair. They both have the exact same ingredients with exception to a few.
As far as ingredients, Miracle 7 is lacking in Eugenol (Perservative), Courmarin (Fragrance Enhancing Chemical), Cinnamal (Fragrance Enhancing Chemical), and Linalool (Fragrance) compared to It's A 10. Now I know why It's A 10 smells so good.
It's a 10 is lacking in Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Euterpe Oleracea Pulp Oil (Pulp of Acai Fruit), and Citric Acid (Perservative) conpared to Miracle 7.
So technically....Miracle 7 could claim to do 10 things the same as It's A 10 because it is only lacking in fragrance (it has citric acid as a preservative). It could also claim to have natural ingredients like Acai Fruit Extract.
They both smell pleasant. However, the It's A 10 lingers in my hair for a couple of days. That may have something to do with how much fragrance is in it. I do not really notice any lingering smell with the Miracle 7 but that is not a deal breaker for me.
Another plus for Miracle 7 is that it's slightly cheaper and contains more product than the It's A 10. However, if you are not near a Sally's, this product could be hard in your area. However, you can purchase it online.
I don't think you can go wrong with either one of these products. It's A 10 is more popular but Miracle 7 does the same thing for less. One thing that I love about them both is the softness and shine I get after application. I'm glad I know the difference between them now which isn't much.
I think your “places to buy” is backwards. I don’t think you can get It’s a 10 at Sally’s, which is why they have a copy.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out. I will correct it.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty industry is kind of pathetic- selling 2 differently lableed products that are literally 99% the exact same. I have both products and while sitting in my tub decided to read the ingredients- surprise to me! lol not that I thought they did a different job, but I mean- I'm still irked at the ways they find to make more $$. Excellent post! Very thorough.
ReplyDeleteVery true indeed. I was literally surprised myself when I did a dissection of the ingredients. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
