My Thoughts: I Love Love Love it!! I wish I was sent the full sized products, because it definitely needs to be added to my stash lol! No worries though I'll be purchasing them very soon. On to the review...
I started off applying the Hair Smoothie to clean wet (not dripping wet) hair in small sections starting from the back. The first thing I noticed about it has a creamy consistency and it's not too thick, which makes easier to distribute through the hair. I expected it to be very oily being that castor oil and coconut oil being #2 and #3 on the ingredient list, but it wasn't oily at all. I then detangled, which I do before braiding each braid to prevent a frizzy and tangled braid out, and applied the Hair Jelly. It looks and feels like most gels, but without the sticky residue feeling afterwards. And just like to Hair Smoothie it had a clean fresh scent, nothing to overly fragrant. I was anxious to see how it would turn out once it dried. I've read some reviews in the past that said because of the witch hazel in the jelly it may cause the hair to feel dry. Here's a few pics of my wet braids...
*note: Twists work better than braids on my bang area since I cut them...I don't know why but they do lol!
And this was the look...
My hair felt great! I was expecting it to be a little stiff but it wasn't...at all! I hardly ever use gels on my hair for braid outs. I only use them for wash and go's and to slick my hair into a low ponytail and I rarely wear those styles. But I'm really digging this Jelly/Smoothie combo!!
I'm currently rocking 3rd day hair thanks to Wonder Curl and it still looks good....What ya'll think??

ReplyDeletei definitely bookmarked that page for future references (when I'm 100% natural)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention...Both products are available in smaller and larger sizes.
ReplyDeleteHey KKQ, do you retwist or braid each night to maintain this look or just leave it loose or what? thanks!
ReplyDeleteI second allie's question: How do you maintain such great braid outs??
ReplyDelete@Jessica & @Allie At night I just pull my hair into a loose low pony and cover with a satin wrap. I do retwist my bangs or else they'll be smashed in the morning.
ReplyDeletelooks great!!! have u ever done or heard of oil rinsing. If so, have u ever tried it?
ReplyDelete@Mimi No, I've never tried it...explain the process to me.
ReplyDeletefrom what i've read, you start out by washing your hair with a sulfate free shampoo and rinse it out of course, then you add oil to your hair, preferably a good hair oil like jojoba or castor oil or Amla oil, the oil of your choice. Then you place a shower cap on for about 5-10min or so, then you add conditioner, then you rinse out. It is supposed to super moisturize your hair and give it great shine. It sounds interesting, but I have to do some research on it. But it sounds like a great process to do during the winter months, or when your hair needs that extra TLC.
ReplyDeletehere's a link i found

you're braid out is so pretty. the braid out is well defined and has a nice shine to it. I am 3 months post relaxer. My current transition style is the braid outs done with cornrows. I can't wait until my hair is as lovely as yours.
