Our Review:
The first thing I noticed about this product was that it was incredibly creamy and smooth. It had the texture of whipped Honey Mustard (yes, that was the best thing I could think if).

The smell was quite strong of lemons, bonus points! I used this product to do a simple two strand twist out in Bunny’s hair and it came out super cute.

I like this product, I don’t love it. I think the price is bit crazy but to each his own.

Our Review:

LOVE THIS PRODUCT

It gave Bunny’s tight curls SO much hang! She washed her hair in four braids with the Royal Curl Stay Clean Shampoo then came to me with her hair dripping wet and sparkling clean!

I took one braid out at a time, added this conditioner as a leave-in from root to tips like instructed, then combed her hair through with a wide tooth and our Denman. I put each section into three or four smaller braids before moving on to the next section.

Typically her hair shrinks up to her ears but this stuff made her hair hang several inches past her shoulders which is unheard of! Once the product was applied her hair just seemed to grow. It was really cool.

We both really love this curly hair conditioner and it’s now her staple one. Two checks for both the Royal Curl Shampoo and now their conditioner too! I was also sent the Royal Curl Shaping Crème and Soothing Oil but won’t get to test those out for another week or so because Bunny’s hair is going into cornrows. We just don’t have enough hair time in the mornings for doing hair so braids will help out lots.

Thank you Queen Helene for this great opportunity! Please check out their website here: Queen Helene

Our Review:

Today marks a huge accomplishment over here at my house because for the first time ever, Bunny got to do the product review all by herself for this hair product company! Yahoo!

And now, turning it over to her...

First I was like, this isn’t to work because I used so little and then my hair went all soft. When I got out of the shower and I was combing my hair through it was really easy!

I love Queen Helene!

No more stripped hair!

So there you have it folks! Straight from the nine year olds mouth! Let it be known that I recommend this shampoo over every single one out there and it’s now Bunny’s staple product.

Thank you Queen Helene for reaching out with your amazing product! Everyone seriously needs to head over to the website and get this shampoo. Go here: Queen Helene Royal Curl.

Best products for curly hair

Those of you who are looking for the best products for curly hair, I hate to break it to you but there is one product that you’re searching for, and it’s this Shea Butter Sculpting Wax from Beautiful Curls! I’ll admit that I was skeptical about putting wax in anyone’s hair, but this stuff really and truly is the bomb!

Product Description:
Certified Fair Trade Shea Butter sculpting wax for curl separation, shine and texture. With virgin coconut oil for added shine. Great for waves, finger curls and flicks.

What It Is:
A shea butter wax

Who It's For:
People searching for the best products for curly hair

What It Smells Like:
Quite strong and really not that pleasant

My sisters texture after using this product

How To Use It:
I simply scooped a little but out of the tub with my fingers, rubbed it between my fingers to soften (like Billy Mays did on the Mighty Putty commercials), and applied it to my little sisters clean, conditioned, dry hair and it worked like a charm! It moisturized and it stretched her curly pattern out quite a bit!

Full Ingredients:
Certified Fair Trade Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Kpangnan Butter (Pentaderma butyracea), Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum), Carnauba Wax (Copernicia prunifera), Coconut Oil (and) Raspberry Fruit Extract (and) Ylang Ylang Flower Extract

Color:

Medium beige

Texture/Consistency:

Thick, but nothing like hair grease or gel

Cost:

$10 for two ounces, which is pretty pricy, but a little goes a long way

Our Review:

I gotta hand it to the company, they really outdid themselves with this hair wax. It moisturizes, smoothed down Bunny’s hair, and helped detangled as well. The only downside to the product is the price, but it can easily replace your leave-in and your detangling sprays/creams! Thanks Beautiful Curls for making another great product!
