Beautiful Curls Review

Samara — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 05:35:27 +0000

Today I am reviewing a new natural hair product line called Beautiful Curls by Alaffia. I saw this line in Wholefoods and decided to give it a try. From what I read on the Beautiful Curls website (www.beautifulcurls.net), there are 3 different types of product categories in the line. There is a Kinky-Curly line, Straight-Wavy line, and Babies line. I purchased the Kinky-Curly line because my hair is just that, Kinky-Curly.

The products that I purchased was the Beautiful Curls Curl Activating Shampoo,Curl Activating Leave-in Conditioner, Curl Reviving Hair Tonic(for all hair types), and the Curl Enchancing Cream. After trying the product line I decided to return the shampoo, conditioner and the hair tonic because the pH of those products were too alkaline and my hair was also dried out. Note: Even though I like the shampoo, after testing the pH I decided to return it because the pH was a 7.0-7.5!

Below is a video series of myself using the products and my results:

Donna Marie Super Butter Creme

Samara — Sat, 29 May 2010 00:35:04 +0000

I ordered the Donna Marie Super Butter Creme after seeing a review about it on Youtube and I received it as expected. The Donna Marie Super Butter Creme is very thick, white, ultra concentrated, and smells like vanilla cake frosting. I don’t really care for the smell because it is really strong, but it doesn’t linger and the cream moisturizes my hair fairly well. It doesn’t leave a residue either and absorbs into the hair without much effort at all. I do recommend this cream for those with very dry thick hair if you can get past the strong vanilla cake frosting smell.

Ingredients: Water, botanical infusion of aloe vera, nettle and horsetail extracts, vegetable glycerin, *fractionated coconut oil, Shea butter, sweet almond oil, *vegetable emulsifier, cupuacu butter, meadowfoam seed oil, tucuma butter, xanthan gum, vitamin E, silver citrate, citric acid, potassium sorbate, fragrance.

You can purchase this product from www.beautybydonnamarie.com for $12 plus shipping.

Botanical Spirits Hydrating Curls Spritzer Review

Samara — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 16:23:07 +0000

The Botanical Spirits Hydrating Curls Spritzer is an excellent curl reviver/leave-in conditioner. It is full of all natural ingredients and leaves your hair soft and lightly moisturized. I believe this product is great for reviving wash-in-go’s, as a leave-in before styling, and as an everyday moisturizer for natural hair. After trying this product myself, I can honestly say I have no complaints about the way the product performs in my hair. I really love it!

The only con about this product is the fact that it contains MSM (sulfur) and peppermint oil. If you’re allergic to any one of these ingredients, then I will suggest that you stay away from this product, however, Botanical Spirits does offer another leave-in spray that I also love and it does not contain MSM or peppermint oil. Below is my video review of this product and my results when using it:

Ingredients: Botanical Spirits floral complex SD, aloe vera juice, coconut water, glycerin, rose water hydrosol, orange blossom water hydrosol, MSM (sulfur), peppermint & rosemary essential oils. methycellulose gum, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, potassium sorbate, natural fragrance.

Shea Moisture Shea Butter Leave-in Conditioner

Samara — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 03:56:53 +0000

I saw this product in the beauty store today and decided to try it. I love shea butter and I usually just stick with my unrefined shea butter, but sometimes it gets a little boring so I decided to try something new for a change and I came across this product. I read the front bottle which read: “Shea Moisture the natural hair & body rejuvenator, Shea Butter Leave -In Conditioner with Jojoba Oil, Aloe Vera & Vitamin E. Essential Vitamins, Ultra-Moisturizing, Heals, Repairs & Protects.”

Sounds really good huh?

I also noticed that they also sold body lotion as well as shampoo for the hair, but I purchased just their Leave-In Conditoner which was priced at $7.99. The conditioner has a very thick consistency. It is not like a lotion, but more like a cream and a little goes a long way. It’s smells really good too and the ingredients are all natural.

Ingredients: Shea Butter, Deionized Water, Herbal Complex, Panthenol, Centromonium Chloride, Glycerin, Cocoa Butter, Aloe Vera, Jojoba Oil, Vitamin E.

When I put it in my hair it made my hair very soft with a very light sheen. I also used it on my face because my skin is very dry due to the weather and being in my first trimester. Even though its not made specifically for the skin, it helped a lot with the dryness of my face. This product is a keeper and I recommend trying it, if you are looking for an all natural moisturizer.
