Review of Controlled Chaos Curl Crème

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.

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

Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 637I 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.

Beauty Tips for Women: Art Naturals Ceramic Hair Straightening Brush Review

I received the Art Naturals Ceramic Hair Straightening Brush at a discount in exchange for my review. I noticed that the box in which the brush is held had one of the seals broken. I tried to reserve judgment as to whether or not this item had been used simple from the seal being broken.

The contents with included the brush along with the bottle of argon oil and an instruction manual. I picked up the brush to find that the handle was greasy with finger print on it and the top back part of the brush is dirty/dusty.  The bristle is also dirty/dusty.  The manual has grease stains on it.  I checked the argon oil bottle but the cap still had the seal indicating that it had not been opened; however, the bottle was also covered with grease.  To me this item has already been used.  The product feels a bit flimsy.  I found that the placement of the controls troublesome as your thumb rests in the area; as I brushed the hair I would hit the control buttons changing the heat setting.  I found that I still need to section the hair into small parts to get good coverage with the brush.  I tried passing it as if I was brushing my hair but it just gets tangled. Nail Art Polish Beauty tips for Women 636

This brush is not a good substitute for a flat iron. It helps with smoothing frizz but will not achieve that super straight sleek hair.  I was not impressed with this straightening brush.
