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.

Controlled Chaos is a must have.  It certainly lived up to its claims.  beauty-tips-for-women-707

Review: Curlformers Glam-up Kit for Barrel Curls

Posted on by

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.
