“Great styler…very moisturizing…Have to try it alone….so far I get great curls from this.” Anonymous_24835 (4A”>
SheaMoisture Organic Yucca and Baobab Thickening Moisture Mist
“Unlike the shampoo and conditioner of the same line this actually gives my hair volume. I just spray this on my roots when I take out my flat twists or for second day hair and my hair so full and voluminous! Love this product!” kaw5234, 3b
“I love this product!!! It has increased growth for my hair a lot!!!!” Shinosexy22, 4A
“…I have Fine 2b/2c hair and it seemed to make my hair oily. THEN I decided to change up my routine and just use the products in this line. Ever since I’ve been having AMAZING results! My hair is less frizzy, feels soft(used to use the Smoothie and Souffle”>, and no more gunky feeling! :”> I also have noticed a bit more volume, but that was never an issue for me. Loving this stuff! Give it a shot, change up your routine a little and you may be surprised by the results!…” pixar, 2C
Ouidad Mongongo Oil Multi-Use Hair Treatment
“I absolutely LOVE that product !!! The smell is amazing !! It helps retains the moisture in my hair, a little bit goes a long way it is not too heavy!! My favorite oil!! When i used it to blow dry my hair, my hair was light, soft, not dry!! Obviously the big downside is the price!! It’s a great oil but way too expensive!” dreyishere, 4C
“One word…AMAZING.” mermaidcurls88, 3A
“A solid oil treatment. I wasn’t bowled over as most of the other reviews because I tried it in warmer, more humid weather initially and I had some fluffiness only where I used it. But in cooler temps, it was solid moisture. I really, really like that it doesn’t use silicone to make the oil dry-textured but lets the oil be more straightforward.” laurabeth33, 2B
L’Oreal Paris EverSleek Smoothing Deep Conditioner
“Love this deep conditioner! I paired it with the Garnier Fructis Pure clean shampoo and conditioner, which is also sulfate free like this entire collection. This made my hair so soft,… It also defined my curls, which was a great bonus…If you want soft hair, defined curl, and less frizz, along with a product you only have to use once a week to have all of this, I would recommend this product!” mayafbee (3A”>
“I love this product. I use it as a base for my conditioner. I have really dry hair so I use this as a regular conditioner, not a deep treatment. My hair feels so soft and moisturized afterwards. I get AMAZING curl definition because of the moisture…It will make your hair sooooo soft!” africana (4A”>
“wow! just got some today at target…Today, squirted my hair with water in spray bottle, put in a good 1/3 to 1/2 the tub in my hair to compensate for the heat. …my hair has not cooperated so well in weeks! i’m glad to have found a new product. only complaint is it looks like this’ll only last me for 2 deep conditioning treatments since my hair’s so thick.” mgee (2C”>
Design Essentials Natural Daily Moisturizing Lotion
“I love this product!! I have such coarse, dry, and tightly coiled hair (i have to be a 4a or 4b”> that frizzes as soon as my fingers touch it while dry. This is the only product i’ve found that moisturizes, defines my coils, and makes it look soft/shiny. It also causes less shrinkage than any other product i’ve tried and i’ve been experimenting w/products for over a year now. I also bought the Stretching Cream, but i prefer the Daily Moisture alone. I found when i combined it with the Stretching Cream, it took the softness away and kinda frizzed it more. I’m finally getting compliments on my coils from strangers :-“> I wish i knew of stores that sold it, so that i didn’t have to order online all the time. The stores that do carry this line, never seem to have the Daily Moisturizing Lotion (specifically”>.” tkhas, 4A
“This is an excellent product to use as a leave-in for weight and frizz control. It leaves hair bouncy and shiny. I tend to need a bit more moisture than this would be give me if used regularly, but I get some spectacular results when I use this right after a cleanse and condition. A very little goes a long way. Highly recommend.” gardencurls, 3B
“I had a sample of this and decided to try it. My hair has been really dry lately and this stuff worked wonders. I used it midday for frizz and general sad dry curls and WOW WOW. I used a small amount and it added lots of moisture and refreshed my curls.” CurlySuzy, 2C
SheaMoisture Organic Yucca and Baobab Thickening Moisture Mist
“I just got this shampoo and I really loved it because it did what it said it would do on the label. It cleaned my hair, but it didn’t feel very dry or tangled after shampooing. I recommend this product.” JBallerina, 3A
“I really liked this shampoo. The consistency is very thick and creamy. The smell is pleasant and not too overwhelming. It smells very citrusy with hints of orange and lemon. The product also lathered up really good and once I rinsed the shampoo out my hair did not mat up or get badly tangled. I have African American 4A/4B hair which is very thick and coarse in some areas.”Natural Cutie, 4B
“I LOVE this shampoo. I am on day 4 and my curls are still shiny and bouncy and defined. I live in NJ and its very humid here and my hair is still holding up. I used this shampoo with Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Smoothing Daily conditioner, followed by Curl Junkie Hibiscus Banana Deep Fix Moisturizing Conditioner and then a light leave -in sulfate free conditioner by Loreal I have kept my normal after shower routine of using Biosilk Silk Therapy and some gel and my hair looks fabulous. Before I switched to this shampoo my hair was flat and dull by day 2. I would recommend this for all curly hair types. Curls are definitley healthy looking and more defined!” Guest

“I am in LOVE with this stuff!! I normally condition my hair with Yes to Carrots Pampering Conditioner or the Curls Coconut Conditioner… I co-washed with V-05 and applied this conditioner through every section of my hair to make sure it was fully saturated. I let it sit for an hour and OMG when I washed it out my curls were poppin like crazy!Lol! My hair was soft, moisturized and defined like crazy . GREAT PRODUCT!!!” a_mackurls (3B”>
“I love this product ! I love the smell and my hair feels so soft and super manageable. When I had it I used it every 3 weeks and that seemed to work well for me.” MelifluousJay (4B”>
“Absolutely amazing Deep Conditioning Treatment!! My hair looked flawless after using it! Super shiny, bouncy, defined, moisturized, voluminous curls! I couldn’t get enough!…I used Nature’s Gate Aloe Vera Conditioner today and I’m just disappointed with the results. The difference is night and day! I’ll have to experiment with Aubery to find out if it works the same as a regular conditioner you leave on for a few minutes rather than a half hour. Great product!! Can’t rave enough!” Pixar (2C”>
Ampro Pro Styl Olive Oil Gel
“I cannot complain for the price this product is……GGGRRREEEAAATTT!!! For me this product proved itself in this NYC humidity! It gave my curly hair (3a”> great curl definition and it did not get frizzy the whole day!! AND… to top it all off it held up for the next three days…I LOVE IT!!” Maria.Rodrig, 3B
“LOVED this stuff! It didn’t weigh my hair down or leave any residue but did a fantastic job of holding my curl pattern (and actually helped bring out a few ringlets that aren’t usually there!”>. The smell is very light and goes away as it dries.” girlmeetscurl, 2C
“I loved this gel. I actually used it way more than what i thought i would. It does a great job on wet & dry hair. I havent seen this in stores yet but when i do i will buy me another jar. This gel is the GEL lol it doesnt leave ur hair crunchy just gives you that nice hold u been lookin for.” LoveAQ, 4B
Pantene Truly Natural Shine Serum
“This product smell wonderful and its not oily and it helps with the frizz. I wish the bottle was bigger. My daughter loves it too!!” thnsmur, 4C
“I absolutely loved this product that I reviewed for Naturally Curly! I used it on top of the Pantene Pro-V Custard. It had a great smell and helped to eliminate frizz from my hair. I wish the product was in a larger sized bottle.” Aneka, 3B
“This serum was awesome. It has a great, light scent and spreads nicely. Adds a nice shine to my style and the price is right. I did not notice a huge difference in it controlling frizz, but would use it as needed since it is light in texture. Me likely!” thecurlygurl, 3C
SheaMoisture African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo
“Love it! Great light banana scent! Cleans with minimal stripping! Lathers for a great low poo! My hair feels so luxurious and remains so juicy and moisturized after use! (Don’t forget your Rinse Out”> No additives needed. This is one of the only SheaMoisture products without coconut oil, so my scalp isn’t allergic either!!!!” NvmbrCurlss, 3B
“This is a great cleanser if you are looking for a deep clean – it removes build up and helps with itchy scalp. I recommend it for once a month usage.” AliciaMC, 2A
“I bought this shampoo for my husband, because he has an itchy, dry, flaky scalp. He really likes it for his scalp – he’s pretty cheap, but he opts to continue to purchase this $10 shampoo rather than the $4 shampoo he used to pick up at the drugstore/grocery store. So I see that as a win. He says it reduces the itchiness and dryness of his scalp. Recently I also decided to use it as a clarifying shampoo. …I am also crazy about the plantain scent.” lissathecocoa, 4A
It’s a Curl! Patty Cake Conditioner
“Love this stuff for my little 15 month old. She has ringlet curls all over her head and they had been frizzing in the back. I bought this as well as the mosturizer and her curls are beautiful and frizzless! People even comment on how healthier, and curlier her curls are looking. I will definitely keep this is stock at my house!” karkey (2A”>
“Smells delicious! Detangles my son’s hair easily, it isn’t too heavy. Better for babies up to 1/2 to 2 years of age.” charpitt (3C”>
“Love it, works great, smells great. Have to use quite a bit of it though so maybe only worth the price for newborns and young babies. My 2 year old needs to use a lot of it.” EthiopianPrincessMomma (4A”>
Curls Curl Ecstasy Hair Tea Conditioner
“I really like this product as both a deep conditioner and a leave in. i use it with heat for about 20-30 minutes. it adds much needed moisture to my colored, super dry hair. i especially like this in the winter…this conditioner makes my 3a curls pop and enhancing the definition and bouncy factor. one of my fave conditioners out there.” dianemary126 (3A”>
“I used this as a deep conditioner after using the Curls Cleansing Creme and Aussie Moist Conditioner. I absolutely LOVE the smell and my very dry 4b/c hair was left soft. I highly recommend it if you want a good moisturizing deep conditioner.” pianoartist20 (4B”>
“This is my 5 star deep conditioner. When I first started using this I didn’t have a dryer so I just thought “Meh” not crazy about it. Once I started to use this whilst sitting under my bonnet dryer for about 30 min! …EVERY TIME is soft, detangles easy oh gosh…I never get when people say moisturized but it feels just amazing. Definitely a staple.” Guest
Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Tension Release Hair Wash
“Loved the scent and loved the way my hair felt sleek and soft after using this cleanser! It did not strip my hair at all. My hair is managable and full of body after washing with this and I do not even need to use conditioner to get a comb through afterwards.” krenee27 (2A”>
“This shampoo only requires a drop to create a good soapy lather. I didn’t experience a stripped feeling on my hair. It felt clean and soft.” sylviah86 (4A”>
“Not entirely sure what the previous commenters meant by needed a lot of shampoo to get a good lather, because I do a dollop for my extremely thick hair, and it seems to lather just fine…Like I said, I put a little dollop in my palm and scrub a dub dub my scalp to tips, being gentle but firm. You know, the way that you raise a child, giving it love where it needs it, but making sure to address and correct poorly formed behaviors. My build-up induced dandruff is gone, frizz has peaced out, and my curls and I have never had a better relationship. We hug, we laugh, we cry together. I love this stuff, and if I don’t stop this review here, you may well be reading sonnets in your near future.” rania553 (3B”>
Curl Junkie Curl Assurance Leave-In Conditioner
“Just love this leave in conditioner. Smooths the frizz and my hair is silky smooth and soft all day!” MissCurlGirl (3A”>
“Love the orange smell, the product was not the heavy which is great for me since i have really thin 2b hair. Moisturized and well conditioned my hair.” Aileenpass (2B”>
“Really really love it. Great detangler, very moisturizing, smells nice, is not heavy, plays well with everything I used it with so far. Perfect.” blulight (3B”>
Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Nectar
“Best of the Best Leave in. This works better for me than the Sweet Ambrosia. My hair is fine 4a/4b and high porosity. I love the unscented.” AndieBee (4A”>
“This product is AMAZING! Smells heavenly, moisturizes without weighing hair down, plays well with other products and detangles hair like a dream. New HG for sure!!” kaw5234 (3B”>
“I am really impressed with the Karen’s Body Beautiful Hair Nectar. I am a big fan of the Kinky-Kurly Knot Today leave in conditioner, but the Hair Nectar is just as mosturizing and effective at getting the kinks and knots out. I also love the fact that you can customize the smell and it also lasts me longer than a bottle of the knot today.” CrescentCityQT (3C”>
Yes to Carrots! C is for Conditioner Hair Mud
“Awesome conditioner…i’ve been using this for a year now and never felt disappointed….detangles my hair very easily” dewiqueen (3B”>
“This is hands down, my absolute favorite product right now. I use it after my c/w as a leave-in/hair cream. Before I started using it I had severe heat damage and dryness. 2 years later my hair is soft, shiny, moisturized and happy. I love this product and would recommend it to anyone! It is also great for detangling.” danyel02 (4A”>
“I like this conditionier because firstly – it isn’t tested on animals, and secondly – it’s great for my hair. I’ve got more curly hair after using that conditionier. What is more, after using the conditionier, I have no oily hair. I’ve got naturally oil hair, so I have to be careful – many conditioniers burden them. The only disavdantage of this conditionier is price. In Poland it costs about 50 zł., and it’s quite expensive.” Chatul (2C”>
AG Hair Cosmetics Liquid Effects Extra-Firm Styling Lotion
“I love love love this product! If you want amazing hold and curl definition, this is the product for you! Although it does leave the hair a bit hard, you won’t even think about it when you see how awesome your hair can look! Highly recommended!!” curlyflowergirl (4A”>
“Great product. Needs to be mixed with a leave in conditioner as it
