Curly Q’s for Target: La La Meringue Moisturizer & Red Velvet Curl Cream Review

Samara — Mon, 07 May 2012 23:02:25 +0000

After a long and worthwhile wait, I was finally able to try the Curly Q’s for Target line in my little ones hair. Although I was unable to try the shampoo and conditioner in the line, my local Target did offer the Curly Q’s La La Meringue Moisturizer and the Red Velvet Moisturizing Curl Cream.

The Packaging
For starters the packaging is just absolutely adorable. I can admit that the designers took a lot of time in making these products stand out. The labels look better than the Curly Q’s professional labeling in my humble opinion. The labels consist of a little princess and prince riding a unicorn in an enchanted forest. How cute is that?

The Products
The La La Meringue Moisturizer reminds me much of the Lavish Curls Moisturizer and the Moist Curls Moisturizer from the professional Curls line. Although the ingredients aren’t exactly the same for the professional brand contains more herbal extracts, the La La Meringue Moisturizer still did the job. This product left my sons hair lightly moisturized and aided in detangling his 3a/3b hair.

Before using the La La Meringue Moisturizer, I always mist my sons hair lightly with plain water. I then spray the moisturizer into his hair and work it into his hair with my hands before detangling with a wide tooth comb. Please keep in mind that the La La Meringue Moisturizer sprays out in a stream and not a mist to help concentrate it on tangled areas in the hair.

At first I figured that the Red Velvet Curl Cream would be similar to the Curly Q’s Milkshake, but its nothing like it. This styling cream is similar to something like a hair milk so to speak because its a bit more thicker. The only product out of the Curls line that I can compare it to, is the Its A Curl Ring Around the Curlies Leave-In - which I love ?. Overall it did define my little ones hair. His hair was shiny, bouncy, moisturized, and without any frizz. His hair was not crunchy or hard at all and the product exceedingly meet my expectations. I actually like the Red Velvet Curl Cream more than the Curly Q Milkshake for my sons hair! It leaves it much more moisturized and softer than the Milkshake does, which is something I was looking for

My Conclusion
These products get two thumbs up from me . I absolutely love them and they are worth the $10.99 I invested in them. If you have a Target in your area I recommend that you try these products out for your little ones hair. I’m sure that you will love them just as much as I and my little one does!

Hair Therapy Wrap Review: My New Love

Samara — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 07:31:24 +0000

The Hair Therapy Wrap is my new found love. I absolutely love this invention. It deep conditions my hair evenly and nicely for about 30 minutes to an hour and I can do things around the house while I am deep conditioning. No more sitting under a sweltering hot hooded dryer for me!

Samara — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 05:40:59 +0000

Today I am reviewing the Zuresh Smoothing Detangler and the Zuresh Rebirth Hair Tonic. I used this product for a braid out and I am instantly hooked! The Smoothing Detangler gave me the best braid out I’ve ever experienced! My hair was soft, shiny, bouncy, and defined. I also love the Rebirth Hair Tonic, which is an excellent oil for the hair. Below is my video review of the Zuresh Smoothing Detangler and Rebirth Hair Tonic:

Shielo Product Review: Hydrate

Samara — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 05:04:01 +0000

This is a video review of the Shielo Hydrate product line. The products were pretty decent products and I can safely say that I had no complaints when I tried them. I am reviewing the products from the Hydrate line including the shampoo and conditioner. I am also reviewing the Shielo Leave-In Protectant Antioxidant spray which I recommend for a daily hair mist if you choose to use this product.

Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Chamomile & Argan Oil Baby Head-to-Toe Wash & Shampoo w/Frankincense & Myrrh

Samara — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 01:13:27 +0000

Boy! Is that a mouthful, but that is the complete name of this product: Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Chamomile & Argan Oil Baby Head-to-Toe Wash & Shampoo w/Frankincense & Myrrh. I discovered this product in Target when I was browsing through the baby section for more items to spoil my 5 month old with (SMH) when I came across this lovely baby wash. I did not know Shea Moisture produced baby products, but after reading the ingredients I was eager to give it a try. Currently I’ve been using the Ambrosia Lavish Curl Quenching Shampoo in his hair, but although the Ambrosia-Hair products are very gentle they are not formulated for use on infants. Well, after giving this sulfate free shampoo/wash a try I absolutely love it! It has a nice sweet smell to it and it leaves my sons hair clean, moisturized, and his skin was baby soft as well. I love, love, love this product!

They also make a lotion for your little one as well, but since this website is strictly based on hair, I will only include my review of the shampoo. I am sure the lotion is just as good. If you are looking for a gentle curl cleanser for you little ones hair, give this one a try! It’s nothing like the Johnsons & Johnsons Tear free “hair drying” shampoo, it’s the complete opposite! Very moisturizing, completely natural, sulfate free, and gentle for your curly baby.
