Pure Curls Clarifying Shampoo


Product Line: CURLS

Price: $12.00 for 8oz

Claims: Are your curls dull, limp and lifeless? Purify curls weighed down from build up, debris and unwanted chemicals and restore their natural beauty!
Are you a new CURLS customer and need to rid your hair of products past? Give your curls the boost they need...clarify and start anew with this sulfate free cleanser! Ideal summer cleanser to gently, and effectively remove chlorine. Pineapple extract nourishes as grapefruit extract adds sheen while removing buildup from unwanted chemicals.

Ingredients:
Purified Water, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Decyl Glucoside, Lauramide DEA, Peg-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, Peg-10 Sorbitan Laurate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino, Lactic Acid,

Consistency: Liquid

Scent: Very light, candy-like sweet smell.




I used this shampoo on wet hair after detangling. It produced a very nice lather as I massaged it onto my scalp, which I always like. However, at first it didn't seem like enough, and I unfortunately felt like I had to use a lot more to get the cleanliness that I needed.




Coconut Sublime Conditioner

Price: $16.00 for 14.5oz

Claims: Looking for a conditioner that provides MAXIMUM moisture and softness for your dry curly tresses? Look no further, Coconut Sublime Conditioner is guaranteed to soften the kinkiest curl, moisturize the driest lock, and detangle the most unruly tresses. Great for all curly hair textures especially dry, damaged, and chemically treated kinky, medium or coarse curly hair.

Ingredients:
Purified Water, Cetyl Alcohol (derived from coconut) Stearalkonium Chloride, Cetearyl Alcohol (derived from coconut), Polysorbate 60, Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos Hucifera),  Panthenol, Certified Organic Arnica Flower Extract, Certified Organic Chamoile Flower  Extract, Certified Organic White Tea Extract,  Monoi de Tahiti, Methylheptyl Isostearate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium, Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Natural Fragrance, Caramel.

Consistency: Medium Thick

Scent: Delicious, like coconut cake batter!




I used this conditioner right after shampooing. It immediately softened my hair and made it pretty easy to finger-detangle as I was in the shower. I didn't find that it had a whole lot of slip, though, but it was very moisturizing. I rinsed about half of the conditioner out after leaving it in for 10-15 minutes.

Here's my hair with a bit of the conditioner in.







Cashmere Curls Leave-In Conditioner

Price: $20.00 for 8oz

Claims: Every curly dreams of healthy, defined, soft, manageable curls...Cashmere Curls is your dream come true! Formulated with pure Cashmere Extract, Certified Organic Aloe Leaf and Coconut Milk, Cashmere Curls softens, strengthens, repairs, defines, and moisturizes damaged tresses leaving them bouncy, shiny and silky smooth.

Consistency: Liquid

Scent: Like a mango fruity cocktail! Yummylicious!




I used this leave-in conditioner on wet hair after rinsing some of the conditioner out. Although it smells like a fruit heaven and it gave my hair lots of shine, it didn't leave my hair feeling as soft or as moisturized as I would have liked. Here's the leave-in conditioner in my hair.



Very nice sheen, but my hair just felt blah :(

Consistency: Thick

Scent: Sweet, like icing!




I used the cream on top of the leave-in to seal the moisture in. My hair felt a little better after using the whipped cream, although the softness and moisture still wasn't there like I wanted. I put my hair into two-strand twists to stretch it out the next day.




The next morning, I had a beautiful and very defined twist-out!



To see how the whipped cream performed with a more moisturizing product, I ended up trying another one of my favorite moisturizers under the whipped cream and my hair indeed felt tons better! I knew that it was the leave-in that was making my hair not feel its best.




Overall Ratings:

3 out of 5 for the Pure Curls Clarifying Shampoo

5 out of 5 for the Coconut Sublime Conditioner

2 out of 5 for the Cashmere Curls Leave-In Conditioner

5 out of 5 for the Whipped Cream



The conditioner and the whipped cream were definitely my favorite products. I will continue to use these to condition and seal my hair.
