Curls Like Us cloths- The Review

As I posted not too long ago, I’ve had my Curls like Us cloth for awhile and have used it a couple of times, but I wanted to make sure that I’d tried it enough to give a proper review. Overall, I liked it.

It’s pretty, simply put. I love to see it hanging up in my bathroom and shower area. I am used to using either my microfiber turban towel or my DH’s t-shirts when I do a wash n go and neither one of them looks as cute hanging up (it has a little loop on it). Okay, the tshirts look downright ugly.

It’s very absorbent. The cloths are sold in packs of 2. I received one sample cloth, which absorbs about as much as 2 of my DH’s t-shirts.

Neat design. I like how the towel is tube like so you can rotate it as you dry your hair. It also makes plopping easier. (If you watch the video below, you can see what I mean by “tube like”)

The feel. It reminded me a lot of a t-shirt, but then it also was a lot different than one. It wasn’t as thin as most are and comparing it to a t-shirt on close inspection, they just looked different. It’s thicker than most t-shirts I have, for one thing.

It comes with instructions and there is also a video that shows one how to use the cloths.

The first time I tried it, I used the method in the video. The results were fine, but I think I can do with less scrunching and more plopping (with my hair type). I do like this towel for plopping. I squeezing the excess water and product out and  then plopped with the cloth. Since it’s tubular and stretchy, it works perfect for plopping. I just had to be sure not to drag it along my hair (which creates more frizz) when putting it on and removing it. Great results!

Oops, had it on inside out

I don’t like the brown color for practical purposes, though I like aesthetically. When I am going for curl definition, I use quite a bit of product and it seemed to buildup on the cloth some as I was drying. By the time I was finished, it was whitish all over.However, it does rinse out easily enough and is dry by the next morning when I hang it up. The creator chose brown for those  ladies who have dyed their hair, so maybe they would be more appreciative.

Also those who have longer or thicker hair probably need more than one, which is okay since they sell them in packs of two. I think one will do it for shorter hair though, say 3-4 inches, if you have really thick hair. I have very dense hair, so when scrunching, I only tried it on one side of my head as to not overwhelm the cloth

The side I used it on was not completely dry after using it, but I don’t expect miracles from any purchase. However, the reduction in the “drippies” was noticeable, especially when I compare it to other side that I used 2 tshirts to scrunch.

The cost may make some wince, but it’s $24 for a pack of 2 and $15 for a single one. When I went to visit the site, I saw that they are having a sale through NaturallyCurly.com: buy one set, get another half price.

I do have some areas, as I’ve mentioned before, that are always frizzing and nothing changes that, it’s just the nature of my hair and I love it. I just need to add (for my newly natural readers), that if you are looking for something to make curls magically pop out of your hair, this is not it. In fact, nothing does that. If you don’t already have curls, this cloth is not going to give it to you. However, if you’re looking for something to reduce frizz in your curls, this cloth does help that, along with proper technique.
