Hair Rules Curly Hair Product Review

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Well, I’m on the last line of curly hair products I’m reviewing, Hair Rules. I gave this set of products quite a bit more than a week to get an accurate set of results.

I used the shampoo (without sulfates), conditioner and wavy mousse.

It doesn’t make your hair crunchy which is a major plus. It does a great job of making your hair soft. Unfortunately with my hair, it flattens out the curl as well. I think this is made for coarse, thick hair although once again, the women with the perfect hair told me it works for every kind of hair.

I recommend this for people with coarse, thick curly hair but not for people with fine curly hair. After all of these reviews, I’m going to continue to use Curls LLC. I got the best results from that line of curly hair products and they smell awesome.

Mixed Chicks Curly Hair Products Review

Friday, April 15th, 2011

Last time I talked about Curls LLC, which I really like. This time I’ll give you my personal view on Mixed Chicks hair products.

I’ve used Mixed Chicks products for over a week now, which is the same amount of time I used the previous products I reviewed. I had high hopes for the line because of the results I got from the other lines I’ve tried.

The week started out well because the product smells good and really softens your hair. I noticed immediately that the products are very thick. I initially thought this could prove to not be a good thing for my fine hair. I also noticed that the products are not sulfate free like the other lines I’ve tried. In fact, the first ingredient on the shampoo bottle is sulfate. Oh, oh.

I still had an open mind and wanted to give them a fair try so I kept using them the whole week. The products I used were the shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner. The only other product they had, that I didn’t purchase was the Gloss, shine & thermal protection serum. When I asked about it, the woman with the absolute perfect, curly hair said that I could skip it since I had a budget and it really only adds shine. It doesn’t enhance curl.

As the week went on, I noticed that my hair was really soft; believe it or not, too soft. Since my hair is fine, it doesn’t have the extra body that I think these products are created for (even though the person said it would be great for my hair type). When my hair gets too soft, my curls flatten out-no, not straighten, just flatten and lose all body. Yuck!

At the end of the week I actually used Curls LLC styling products to try and get my curls back and they helped a little, but it’s all about the foundation.

I recommend this line of products if you have coarse, thick hair that can take thick products and needs a lot of softening. I don’t recommend it for fine hair types.

Curly Hair Products Review

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

A couple of weeks ago I attended a hair show and ran, not walked to all of the curly hair product booths. No, I’m not talking about the large companies who have a couple of token products. I’m talking about the smaller companies that only focus on products for curly hair. I believe that unless you have curly hair, you really don’t understand the dynamics of it (and there are many).

I’ve been using Deva Curl, which I like, but always want to try new products to see which works the best on my hair. I bought 3 different brands and will be using them and giving you a report for the next few weeks. The brands are: Mixed Chicks, Curly LLC and Hair Rules.

Stay tuned!
