Hey peeps. I decided to do some reviews of some of the
products/samples I received in my curlboxes and curlkits. I have several
different textures ranging from very loose curls around the edges and nape to
tight coils in the crown. My curls seem to form an S pattern, when detangled. I hope this is helpful!
Note: Some products are not shown.
This product contains several
different oils and honey. It smelled nice, but the consistency was too
runny/watery. I mixed it with a leave-in
conditioner, and it didn’t react well. The mixture left my hair white, after
desperately trying to get it to absorb into my hair. It wasn’t awful, but I
probably won’t purchase this in the future.
Ori Essentials Leave-in Conditioner: (not shown)
This product smelled
nice and had a thick creamy consistency. I used it for twist-outs and flat
twists. It moisturized well on both my dry and wet hair. Overall, I liked it.
Amazing Botanicals Mint Spritz: (not Shown)
The spray smelled ok, but it
made my hair frizzy. It literally took away any definition I had! I would never
purchase this to refresh curls. Good ‘ole water works fine.
Amazing Botanicals Gel:
Wow! In the words of Ms. Evelyn
Braxton…this gel smelled like “hot packed down behind!” It smelled so bad I
just threw it out without trying it. Sad times.
Doris NYC Mud Minerals:
This product smelled nice. It
appeared to be a mud mask, super thick consistency and muddy color. I put it on
after I shampooed my hair and left it on with a plastic cap for about 30
minutes. Once I rinsed out the mask, my hair felt so much softer. Great
product!
Naturalista Juicy Leave-in:
OMG! This stuff smells
delicious! It had a whipped and airy consistency, but it seemed full of oils
and moisturizers once absorbed into hair. I did a twist out with this sample,
and it actually has a little hold too it as well. Overall, it was a great
product. I truly loved it.
Karen’s Body Beautiful Sweet Ambrosia Leave-in:
Once again,
OMG! This stuff smells amazing! I used it for a flat twist hairstyle and it was
a great leave-in and moisturizer. After I took down the twists, my hair was so
soft. It was amazing.
Carol’s Daughter Monoi Hair Mask:
This product smells great.
It had a very thick consistency. I left it on for a few minutes after
shampooing. It left my hair very soft and easy to detangle. I really liked it!
Giovanni Tea Tree Shampoo & Conditioner:
I already love
Giovanni products, and these samples are definitely winners in my book. You can
definitely feel the tingle. The conditioner has tons of slip and it detangles
extremely well. This was also a great product.
