MATRIX Total Results Curl Please Super Defrizzer Curl Defining Gel

IMG_20160825_185942
Even though I was a fan of MATRIX Total Results Curl Please Contouring Lotion Curl Control Leave-In, I cannot say the same for this product. However, the ratings on most websites are over 3 stars..how? I do not know..

Hold / Definition: For a complete gel product I have higher standards for hold and definition that this one just didn’t reach. My hair wasn’t completely unruly once I stepped into this humid season that we call summer, but it definitely wasn’t tamed either.

Crunch: Gels don’t add mositure, but Read More »

MATRIX Total Results Curl Please Contouring Lotion Curl Control Leave-In

IMG_20160825_185942WARNING: NOT A LEAVE IN CONDTIONER! The name had me totally confused and I put this in right after the shower as my first product. Was not a happy camper when I realized it was really a gel…but anyways! This product is pretty unique. It’s a gel cream mix, but not sticky at all while maintaining a thick consistency.

Moisture: This won’t dry out your hair but i would say it helps with mositure either. I’ve used this along with moisturizing creams since my hair is dry and needs that extra mositure.

Hold/Definition: Good! Your curls won’tRead More »

Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

smsmoothieIf you have used Shea Mositure before you already know how reliable this brand is. For those of you who don’t know, this all natural brand has many different lines to cover all types of curly needs. The Curl Enhancing Smoothie is a thicker mixture compared to its cousin, Curl Enhancing Milk (both pink labels). The Smoothie is recommended to use on damp hair for braids and twist out styles. I have used it for both braids and hair down styles and found it great for both!
Slip: You will not struggle to get this through your curls, but due to its thickness you have to make sure you really separate your curls to get equal coverage.

Moisture: For those dry curlies, this is a great product for you. If your hair isn’t so dry you can even use it in place of a leave in on those days you are short on time.

Hold: Definition game is pretty strong here however hold not too much. Humidity may be your arch nemesis if you don’t pair this up with a gel. I have used it with both a gel and without for my hair down and although it does not look bad without gel, you will find you are moreRead More »

​Every Strand Simply Curls Coco Oil/Shea Curl Creme

I received this cream sample a few months back and finally decided to test it out. Its formulated in Miami…just a little fun fact for you. This conditioning cream will give you the softness and definition you need. However, I suggest pairing jt with a gel to make sure your curls last.

Slip: It went through my curls very well. The creaminess of the mixture is just the right density for us curlies. Thick enough to not evaporate right away, but thin enough to get through our curls.

Moisture: The mositure factor by this cream will leave your hair very soft!

Hold: Unfortunately this isRead More »

AG Hair RE:Coil

20160608_210815

This is my secret weapon. It is my favorite styler. This gel and cream mixture is perfect for curlies who need mositure, definition, and hold.

Slick: Re:coil is a slightly thicker and a tad sticky formula. Still, you can get it through your curls fairly easy. No complaints from me!

Moisture: Bingo! If you need moisture this products got it. It will not dry out your curls at all. However, for those who have dry hair you should still definitely use a leave-in conditioner (well everyone should in my opinion).

Hold: Definition, definition, and definition. Your curls will stay defined ALL DAY. Honestly though, since it’s summer time I still use another gel (currently using L’oreal Curve It) just for a little extra power against humidity. However, Read More »

DevaCurl Styling Cream

Slick: Your hands will go through your curls perfectly. It’s smooth and and thin. It’s great for thinner curls and good for thicker ones. For someone has multiple textures (like me) this is a pretty good middle ground.

Moisture: This cream will leave your hair soft soft soft! Your hair will thank you and drink just the right amount.

Hold: Considering this is a cream, the hold is pretty good. However, for those of you with frizzy or less defined curls, I suggest to use a gel in addition to this. Especially so if it is summer or a humid day.

Crunch: Although this cream leaves your hair soft you may have to crunch out some of the cast right when it dries according to some curlies. I never really had a problem with this.

Day-2 Hair: uhhh jump back in the shower because the product does not last! A big pitfall. The next day it will be like the product completely disappeared, vanished, gone with no goodbye…

Price: $24 (5.1 oz) – $50 (16 oz). A little expensive in my opinion considering how much is needed for each application. This is definitely a more expensive hair product not only for the Deva line, but for me.
