My Kinky Curly Product Line Review

My Kinky Curly Stash


They say you never forget your first love. I have to agree. The Kinky
Curly products were the first products I used after I did the big
chop on Aug 2,2011. When I saw and felt how great the products worked
for my hair it was love at first sight. I think it only fitting that my
first product review be done on my first love. Although I do stray from
"my lover" from time to time I always go running right back. I will go
into why I love each product but let me start by saying different
products work on different people's hair in different ways. This review
is how it works on my very very thick 4a curl pattern hair. It is also
important to note that these products can and will enhance your curl
pattern but they will not change your curl pattern. Always follow the
directions printed on the product.

Please visit http://kinky-curly.com to see the list of ingredients or
to order online. You can also purchase these products at some Target
stores and at Whole Foods (I purchase mine at Whole Foods)


Kinky Curly Come Clean Shampoo 8oz $12

The shampoo has a very clean light citrus scent. This is an all natural
sulfate free shampoo that strips the hair of all product build up to
prepare it for the application of the other Kinky Curly products. If
this is your first time using these products please do not skip this
step. While it will get my hair very clean it does not leave my hair
feeling overly stripped. I do always follow up with a rinse out
conditioner. I have lots of different conditioners I use, it really just depends on my mood and what scents I wanna smell for that day.(stay tuned for lots of conditioner reviews)


Kinky Curly Knot Today 8oz $12

This can be used as a rinse out conditioner or a leave in. The scent is
very light and pleasant. The company suggests it as a leave in
conditioner for thick hair. I use this product as a leave in
conditioner. It has amazing slip and makes detangling your hair a
breeze. This product does have to be applied to soaking wet hair. After
I rinse my regular conditioner out I then apply the Knot Today and
shake my head "no" vigorously while still in the shower. (this step
helps define your curls. Trust me it works) . This is hands down my
favorite leave in conditioner.


Kinky Curly Curling Custard 8oz 16.99 16oz $29.99

This is hands down the best curl defining gel I have ever used, if you
saw my product junkie post you know I have tried just about everything.
The consistency is that of well mucus to be honest and the smell is a very light sort of vanilla smell. When I get out of the shower with the Knot Today still in my hair and
my hair still soaking wet I section my hair into 6 sections and secure
each section with a clip. I take my hair down one section at a time and
shake the section and then rake a small amount of Curling Custard in my
hair with my fingers. I shake my head vigorously after each section.
When I have finished applying the product to my entire head I do one
last head shake and then put in my hair accessory of the day (Goody
head bands are my favorite) and I'm done with my hair. All in all from
the time I get out of the shower it takes me about 10 minutes to apply
and shake. I always let my hair air dry. Usually by the time I get to
work my hair is mostly dry. I usually have to do this process every 3
days. This is another plus I have never been able to get 3 day+ hair with any other product.


Kinky Curly Spiral Spritz 8oz $12

This product is perfect for those with a much looser curl pattern or to
refresh second or third day hair. I use it as a refresher. It has a
very nice light lavender spa like smell and a light gel texture. On the
second or third day I wet my hair with water from a spray bottle and
then spray the Spiral Spritz into my hand and scrunch through my hair,
I then seal with a little coconut oil and I'm done. This also makes my
hair feel really soft and controls the frizz for the day.


Kinky Curly Gloss Pomade 2oz $10

This product has a light citrus smell. The pomade is  great to scrunch
out the crunch once you hair is fully dry. A little goes a long way so
I rub a very small amount in the palm of my hands and scrunch in my
hair. This is also great to use on second day hair also. It leaves my hair feel very soft and moisturized. 

Kinky Curly is the only line that I love each and every product in the
line. Anytime a new or aspiring natural wants a product recommendation
I always steer them to Kinky Curly Products. These are absolute no fail
products for me. When I use these products I get countless compliments and questions about what products I use. And that's what Nu today.
