Review: Curlformers Glam-up Kit for Barrel Curls

Posted on September 27, 2016 by admin

I purchased the Curlformers Glam-up Kit for Barrel Curls from Amazon. The set comes with 16 curformers, 1 glittery styling hook, 1 organza bag to hold curlformers, and instruction leaflet. There are 8 curlformers that curl to the right (gold line) and 8 that curl to the left.

You place the hook through the curlformer. The hook then loops onto a small section of wet hair, then you pull the hook out of the curlformer. You can air dry or use a hooded dryer.

There is a learning curve to using this product. My hair got snagged several time with pulling the hook out of the curlformer. I was taking larger sections of hair because the amount of curlformers is not enough to cover my whole head using the small sections that is recommended.

I choose to air dry. Removing the curlformers was easy, simply pinch the ends to open the curlformer, straighten it and slide down.

I liked how my hair came out. The curls came out well defined. It is a great way to get curls without heat. But I would definitely need to get at least two more of these kits to cover my head properly.

Review of Raw Hair Organics – Raw Curls samples

Posted on August 16, 2016 by admin

I recently received some samples of the Raw Curls line from Raw Hair Organics.

I received the following products:

Raw Curls Spray Gel
Raw Curls Anti-Frizz Spray
Raw Curls Cleanser
Raw Curls Conditioner
Raw Curls Pomade & Shine Serum
Raw Curls Medium and Firm Hold Gel

In this post I will be reviewing the cleanser, conditioner, spray gel, and anti-frizz spray. According to their website all “Raw Curls products are Silicone-Free, Sulfate-Free, Alcohol-Free, Paraben-Free, Wheat-Free, GMO-Free, Not Tested on Animals and is 100% Natural & Organic Ingredients”.

The Raw Curls Cleanser does lather. It has a scent that I can’t really describe other than it smells organic. I found that it gave my hair that squeaky clean feeling. I didn’t feel like it was very hydrating for my hair.

The Raw Conditioner also has that organic smell but with a hint of something that almost reminds me of bubble gum. This conditioner has great slip and I found it to be very moisturizing. I let it sit on my hair for about 3 to 5 minutes and rinsed out my hair.

Now on to the styling part. With my hair still soaking wet, I reapplied the conditioner to use it as a leave-in. I followed up by using the Raw Curls Spray Gel. I sprayed this throughout my hair giving it a good coat then scrunching. This is not a regular spray gel at all. I could not detect any scent at all. The spray is not sticky like most spray gels I have every tried. I did not get that crunchy hair cast.

I usually wait 10 to 15 minutes before I diffuse my hair. Still no crunch to my hair. I could see great curl formation and my hair felt soft. When my hair was about 80% dry I sprayed the Raw Curls Anti-Frizz Spray on my hair, paying close attention to my trouble spots. This is another amazing product. I’m so glad to of stumbled on this awesome Hair Serum, it really has made my day so much easier. It has a slight citrus scent. It is super light and did not weigh down my hair. This product can be used as a leave-in detangler or curl refresher.

I was blown away by the results. My curls had great definition, my roots did not feel weighed down by product. Plus, my hair felt hydrated and moisturized. Frizz was minimal to non, considering that is one of my biggest problems. I can’t wait to try the rest of the goodies. I certainly would recommend this line for curly hair.

Beauty Tips for Women: Hair RePear – the Ultimate T-shirt Hair Towel

Posted on April 26, 2016 by admin

I was so happy to come across Hair RePear the Ultimate T-shirt Hair Towel. Their website description says: “The Hair RePear towel’s completely smooth surface is unlike Terry Cloth and Microfiber. Loops, Ridges and bumps found on terry cloth and microfiber cause friction. Friction is Enemy #1 to your hair causing dreaded Frizzy hair, Breaks, and Flyaways”. The towel comes in two sizes 19”x39” and 29”x45”. The colors are white or black. I have wavy/curly hair. Frizz is always an issue for my hair. I have been using old t-shirts to wrap and scrunch my hair for some years now. It is the best thing to use other than a towel. So I was excited to try this product.

I purchased a black towel size 29”x45”, since my hair is past my shoulders. I am impressed by the quality of the fabric which really is smooth. The size I choose was perfect.

I have been using the towel for about two weeks and I’m in love. I wrap it around like a turban. I also use it to scrunch out excess water and hair products. Adding this to my hair care routine has certainly made a difference. I will always have issues with frizz but this towel has helped. This towel is great for all hair types. I will be purchasing more for the rest of my household.
