UR Curly Quinoa Shampoo and Conditioner Review




Ur Curly Soya Shampoo Review
-A little Bit goes a Long way
-Opaque
-Thick
-Does tingle (which I actually like)
-Gets my hair clean
-Used this on three separate occasions and still had enough left for another go
- I was pretty heavy handed the last time
-Has a nice smell like methanol and peppermint. I love peppermint scents
-does foam up, ALOT
-It left my hair shiny
-It unraveled all the remnants of the twist out and comb twists that I did have in my hair which is a great thing. Did smooth but my hair but my hair was still matted.
-My hair was a beautiful black. looked really healthy
-Little to now shedding in the tub
-Would i buy the big bottle? Nope this one isn't for me because of the protein.


Ur Curly Soya Conditioner Review-The look and consistency is like Suave Coconut Conditioner with water
-It had slip and was an okay conditioner.
-This is not a repurchase.
-I feel like this conditioner is more of a rinse out more than anything.
-It left a cooling sensation on my scalp that I loved.
-I had to use the most of the package on my hair. the full size container is 8 oz. I dont see me having a lot of uses out of the 8oz container
-Hair felt dry after rinsing it out
- My hair did look nice on the outside. it looked extremely black and healthy but my hair was dry.
- I had to follow up with my Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner that is now my staple conditioner. It never fails to moisturize my hair
- I did get three washes out of the shampoo. I used Mixed Chicks as the conditioner the second time and my beloved Aphrogee Two Minute Reconstructor.
- I was afraid to touch my hair until after I had rinsed out conditioner because my hair was dry and clumped together. My hair wasn't tangled but because my hair was dry there was no why I was going to try and run my hands through my hair
-I really am looking for a great conditioner and shampoo combo. I have yet to find it. I'm thinking about try Carol's Daughter Monoi line.
I have to try the curl enhancer. I didn't purchase because I haven't been wearing my hair out.
I used the last of my Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor tonight and it was the first conditioner next to the As I Am Coconut Cowash that I literally was trying to get every drop out of the bottle. This is top priority on my list of repurchases. Why isn't it my top conditioner? Because I don't like to use it every time I wash and condition my hair unless I have to. This month has had me using it more often because my hair is suffering a bit.
Overall I give both products a 
3 1/2 ☆☆☆ rating. Mainly because I like the tingling sensation and I like that I can purchase sample sizes instead of buying two full sized bottles. 

My Rating System
1 ☆ = poor, never purchase again, does not do what it promises, makes my hair worse.
2 ☆☆
3 ☆☆☆ = average, on the fence about trying again. An okay product.
4 ☆☆☆☆
5 ☆☆☆☆☆ = amazing, definitely a repurchase

I purchased this products with my own money and decided to give a review. What do you guys think of the UR Curly Line? Thanks for reading!

Aunt Jackie's Curls & Coils Oh So Clean! Moisturizing & Softening Shampoo Review




I'm going to start of this review by saying that I'm sick and tired of products making empty promises.  Where is that product that actually does what it says that it will do? This is probably the third shampoo that I've tried that just plain and simply strips my hair, leaves it dangled and doesn't clean my scalp. I literally had to rinse and lather 3 times to clean my scalp. Ironically, this shampoo had so much writing on the bottle and it has such an attractive presentation which made this product even more disappointing.

I will say that this product did reduce shrinkage. I was hard pressed to find a curl in my hair. This shampoo DID NOT "soften [my] hair, control frizz, eliminate knotting, [or] restore a healthy moisture balance". It says that it will "remove all kinds of build-up, while replenishing hair with essential oils and nutrients". It did remove build-up from my hair but for some reason my scalp just didn't feel clean. This product smells great. It smells like passion fruit and pineapples. My sister says it smells like a green life-saver.

The bottle states that it is sulfate-free, paraben-free, mineral oil and petrolatum free. My guess is that even though this product is sulfate- free, the Sodium (C-14-16) Olefia Sulfonate is actually still pretty harsh. This product is meant for "chronically dry hair" and is supposed to be "deep moisturizing". I should have known something was up when I saw this on a shampoo bottle. I do have very dry hair and this just made things worse. I'm going to have to use a rinse out conditioner and then use a deep conditioner. Hopefully, this will help.

I had actually gone to the store to purchase The Hairepair Invigorating Shampoo by ORS but they didn't have any. I didn't want to wait until Monday because I'm doing a protective style on my hair for the next two weeks. Today is the only time that I have to focus on my hair. I saw this product on the shelf was impressed by the claims and purchased.

Maybe sulfate-free just isn't for me. If one of my readers would like to purchase it off of me or do a product swap I'm here for it. I do have another product that I can throw in the box.

I'm going to give this :
1 ☆ out of 5 stars mainly because of the packaging and scent of the product. This is not a repurchase.

My Rating System
1 ☆ = poor, never purchase again, does not do what it promises, makes my hair worse.
2 ☆☆
3 ☆☆☆ = average, on the fence about trying again. An okay product.
4 ☆☆☆☆
5 ☆☆☆☆☆ = amazing, definite repurchase, product does what it says it will do

I'm going to add 1/2's to the ratings as I deem necessary.

Thank you for reading this review. I did purchase this product with my own money and I do hope to hear from you all on your experiences with Aunt Jackie's Products.
