Review:

I really, really tried to like this stuff. I was in love with the Wet Set Pudding (WSP) so I expected this to be good as well. It was not.

The quick fix spritz can be used, according to the website, as either a leave in, 2nd day refresher, or a finishing spray. I tried it as all 3 and it bombed. I knew it wouldn’t work as a leave in for me because my hair does not respond well to liquid leave ins. It did not seem to soak into my hair and it was hard to distribute. Once I applied the WSP, I could tell the difference from this application and the first time I used it (with a creamy leave in).

I’m not often good at getting second day hair, unless it’s put in a puff, so perhaps I’m not the best judge of the Quick Fix Spritz as a refresher, but it did nothing to refresh my curls the next day. My hair just felted coated (in a bad way) and gunky.

Also, on top of everything, this product contains parabens.

I hated to give this a bad review, but I just plain did not like it. But I’ll still stick by the WSP.

Will I buy this again? No.

Review:

I am currently on the prowl for a good deep conditioners with fairly natural ingredients. I was hoping this would be my answer considering how much I love the wet set pudding from this line. I hate to say this, but it really did nothing for me.

The first time I tried it was for an hour. The second time I thought maybe I should leave it in longer and did about 4-5 hours and still the same results. The product itself was a little hard to evenly distribute because of how runny it was compared to most DCs that I’ve used. I personally prefer creamy products when it comes to conditioners.

Though it did offer moisture, it did very little for me in the way of detangling and slippage.

My hair and I usually don’t get along with coconut milk, so maybe that’s the problem. So maybe someone who likes coconut milk would feel differently. At any rate, it’s worth a try as the price is very reasonable.

Will I buy this again: Nope!

Review:

Curls by sister smith was not a line that had a lot of hype, like Kinky Curly or Ms. Jessie’s. I largely ignored it whenever I saw it mentioned in a forum thread. But as time went on, I saw it mentioned more and more and became curious.

I ordered over a week ago and am absolutely in love with it. The first thing that attracted it to me was the price. Seeing a good hair product under 20 bucks always puts me in a good mood Second, the delivery was very fast, which I have found is pretty unusual for handmade products.

The wet set pudding is very thick and creamy, just the type of product I like for my hair. I used a leave in under it and immediately smoothed my hair and clumped the curls together. It did not have the shinyness that KCCC gives me, but my curls dried super soft which I can not always say for KCCC.

I’ve also used it on twists and also got good results in the form of well moisturized, soft definition.

Will I buy this again? Yes, and I can’t wait to try the other products
