Review: Jane Carter Solution Revive & Repair Hair Masque

Posted on by

My only experience with Jane Carter Solution is using their Revitalizing Leave-in Conditioner to refresh my curls. The Revitalizing Leave-in is great. I was in need of a treatment so I decided I would try their hair masque. I purchased the Jane Carter Solution Revive & Repair Hair Masque.

I started off by washing my hair with Shea Moisture African Water Mint & Ginger Detox & Refresh Hair & Scalp Gentle Shampoo. With my hair wet, I applied the masque in sections to my hair. The masque is thick and creamy with a pleasant smell. The slip is amazing. I left it on for 20 minutes and used a heating cap. My hair felt super soft when I rinsed it out. To style my hair I used the Revitalizing Leave-in. I didn’t use anything else because I wanted to see what would happen.

Review of Controlled Chaos Curl Crème

Posted on by

I won a contest being hosted by Controlled Chaos for their Curl Crème.  Curl Crème “enhances, conditions and defines all types of curls. Eliminates frizz and locks out humidity. Gluten, sulfate and paraben free and BPA UV protection”.  This crème sounds amazing, so I could not wait to use it.

I checked out their “Style” section on their webpage, Controlled Chaos.  I found the videos on this page useful in showing how to use their product in different ways and on different types of curly hair.

I washed my hair with Acure Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner.  I made sure that I completely rinsed out my hair.  I applied a small amount of the Curl Crème to help detangle my soaking wet hair.  I sectioned my hair so that I could get full coverage of Curl Crème throughout.  I applied very little to my roots and concentrated on my length like their website suggests.  I let my hair air dry.  I had no crunchy or stickiness.  When my hair felt dry, I scrunched it out.   My hair did not have that weighed down feeling.  I was impressed by the curl definition and how bouncy they looked.  beauty-tips-for-women-704beauty-tips-for-women-706

My hair did not frizz out as I ran errand throughout the day; and I live in a high humidity state.

Review of Raw Hair Organics – Raw Curls samples

Posted on by

I recently received some samples of the Raw Curls line from Raw Hair Organics.
Beauty Tips for Women 669

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. Beauty Tips for Women 673

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.
