My, oh my! I have been testing out the Curl Keeper range for a little over a month now and I am completely in love! I was so lucky to have the opportunity to receive these items to test out and my hair is just as thankful as my heart is.
I will give you a little back story on my hair. I have shoulder length brown wavy/curly/FRIZZY hair that no matter what hair products I try, the frizz is just out of this world. Enter Curl Keeper. I am not even exaggerating when I say my hair is easily 75% less frizzy using these products then when I don't. I will admit that some nights when I get out of the shower I am just so ready for bed that I don't apply the Curl Keeper Original, and my baby hairs hate me for that decision in the morning. If you have a similar hair type to me then you know that with the warm weather that we are (finally) experiencing, the frizz and the baby hairs go extra curly around your face and it isn't as cute as it sounds! My frizzy baby hairs create a little halo around my hair line and I can literally see it in the shadow when I'm walking! The Curl Keeper Original* is a water based product so it won't weigh your hair down and it won't have a product build up if you like to go a few days between washes, but it WILL totally tame your frizzy curly hair and make your hair so touch-ably soft. Another added bonus of this item is that it is actually water activated! So get your curly hair a little wet and BAM the CK Original is back in action fighting frizz! Once you have applied the product to your hair you want to try to stay pretty still for the following 15 minutes to let the product sink in. The less movement you have in those 15 minutes the more control you will have over your frizz!
I also have been applying the Leave In Conditioner* after each shower and it has kept my dry hair feeling so soft and hydrated. Again - those of us with curly/wavy hair tend to have drier hair and this product really has done wonders on my locks. I don't want you to think that just because I was sent these products that it has altered my opinion on them. I truly, TRULY (!!) love the Curl Keeper line. I feel as if in the last month+ my hair has become so much softer, easy to manage, and so much easier to brush. I love that it has become noticeably less frizzy and way waaaay smoother.
The Curl Keeper Styling Cream* is the item that I have used the least of, and that is just simply because I start work at 7am and the majority of the time my hair is up in a bun or a ponytail as I am recommended to have my hair up at my place of work. On my days off when I want to blow dry my hair and style it I have been testing out the Styling Cream* and I do enjoy it. I always find items like these a tad tougher to see results, but I do think that it holds my style (whether I have curled it or straightened it) an extra few days. It is also so light weight that it isn't weighing down my curls, making them feel crunchy, or making my hair feel like there is a ton of product in there. This is another product that will reactivate with water! Bonus!
Now for one of the items that every curly hair guy or gal totally needs - hair detangler. I will admit that I am totally sold on the Curl Keeper Slip 30 Second Detangler*, it feels as if I am spraying water in my hair, it is that thin of a mist! Especially with pool/beach season upon us our hair can get super tangled as we are splish splashing around in the water. I have been keeping my Curl Keeper Detangler with me in my beach bag along with my Tangle Teezer hair brush. Spray it in your hair from roots to ends, wait 30 seconds, and then brush! The combo of those two detangling masters has resulted in the easiest and least painful brushing for my knotted hair. It may not smell as fruity and fun as the L'Oreal Kids detangler that I used to use when I was a kid but Curl Keeper is Cruelty Free and formulated just for those with curly hair!
Make sure you visit Curl Keeper at Trade Secrets and check out their current lineup. You will love them just as much as I do to tame those curls.
*These products were sent to me for PR. That has not affected or altered my opinion on these products and I will only recommend products that I truly believe in.
