Product Review: Kinky Curly

As you all know, I have been growing out my relaxer.  My method to grow out my hair was to wear a weave.  When I took out the weave, voila,  I was instantly natural and had no clue about caring for my hair. 

I admit to being a product junkie.  If someone raves about something, I am the first fool to say “Gimme two of those!”  I realized every product isn’t for every curl.  What works for one person will not work for another.   I determined that my hair falls in the 4a category and I wanted to try products recommended to help those with my curl pattern. 

I am really having a problem with my natural hair knotting and wrapping around my straight edges.  I have a lot of straight ends from my  relaxer and pressing my hair.  So, I decided to try out Kinky Curly’s Knot Today and Curling Custard.  I was really impressed because the product contain no alcohol and all natural ingredients.

KNOT TODAY TMis a creamy herbal conditioner and detangler designed to
smooth the cuticle and remove knots, snarls and tangles from thick curly textured
hair.  Can be used as a regular rinse out conditioner for wavy hair or as a leave-in for
thicker curlier hair types.  An excellent product to use after removing braids and extensions.

I heart Knot Today!!  My hair was instantly conditioned and my snarls melted away.  My hair remained moisturized for days.  I think I did the happy dance every morning when I woke up!  I also smoothed in a small amount of the product on my refresher days.  I would lightly spray my hair with a water bottle and then add a tiny amount to areas that were starting to knot up.  Magic  I tell you…..pure magic!

Curling Custard .  So far this is my favorite.  I have used the Custard when doing my twist outs and I recently use it when I let my hair air dry.  Because I am a 4a, my curls are somewhat tight and about the circumference of a straw in some areas and a coffee stirrer in others.  My hair starts of tight and then becomes frizzy and undefined.  I was looking for a product to hold my curl and shine.  The Custard provided both!  I would recommend following the instructions.  If you use too much the product can make your hair hard. 

I heart Kinky Curly!!

Here’s a video I found on You Tube on how to apply the Curling Custard.   It can be gooey if you use too much.  You might want to try on semi dry hair to avoid the shrinkage when you dry.

Any other products you would recommend for maintaining knot free tresses?  What products do you use to maintain your natural style?

Let us know!!
