Curl Keeper
 |
| 30 ml ounce (Sample) $6.50 |
Amazon.com sells the 8 fl. ounce of the Curl Keeper for $14.78. The biggest complaint about this product is that most people do not like the smell and causes the hair to dry hard. The consistency of the product is watery but does contain the frizz and helps your tresses to clump better instead of giving you that Ramen Noodle look!
However, a large majority of users layer it under their gel and scrunch out the hardness later and the smell dissipates after hair has completely dried. This is one of those products that people either overboard love it or don’t like it.
Product Description
Dryness causes fizziness and out of control hair. Curl keeper controls all frizz and allows you to become the master of gorgeous frizz free curls. Curl keeper is water based which means you can use it every day without product buildup. Your style will last for days as its unique formula re activates with water making curl keeper 100% effective in humid weather conditions.
Ingredients:
DI Water, PVP/VA Copolymer, Propylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Laureth 23, Glycerin, DMDM Hydantoin, Fragrance, Polyquaternium 10.
Directions:
Comb Curl KeeperTM through wet hair from roots to ends for an even application… FOR VERY FRIZZY HAIR, USE ADDITIONAL PRODUCT. The less movement that occurs during the first 15 minutes, the more control you will have over the frizz. Once your hair dries, you can easily soften your look by simply moving your hair around. The more you play with your hair the more volume you will achieve. Some people start appreciating their volume and curls once they have total control over the frizz. The Curl KeeperTM formula re-activates with water, so simply re-wetting frizzy areas with wet hands could get you many fantastic frizz-free days between shampoos
Curl Max Twisty Curly Spray
 |
| $5.95 – $6.99 8 ounces |
After researching this product, it seems to do best or perform well on 4b to 4c hair textures. It tends to “dry out” 3b’s to 4’s” hair texture when doing a “wash n’ go” hairstyle. For those users, it’s best to dampen hair, apply Curl Max and then “style” hair.
Product has a great smell, sprays out of bottle well, and makes hair soft and manageable. This product contains glycerin and when used too much can cause the hair to feel sticky.
This product is not Curly Girl “friendly.”
Ingredients:
Water (Agua), VP/ Methacrylamide/Vinyllmidazole Copolymer, Glycerine, Polysorbate 20, Argonia Spinsosa (Argon) Oil, Fragrance (Fragrancia), Disodium EDTA, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Triethanolamine, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Peg-8 Dimethicone, DMDM Hydantoin, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Directions
For daily use. Shampoo hair and towel dry. Spray Lustrasilk Curl Max Twisty Curly Spray evenly from roots to ends. Scrunch hair and air dry or blow dry with a diffuser if necessary.
Product Description

Curl Max, Twisty Curly Spray is enriched with Argan Oil and is designed to quickly activate spiral curls in naturally curly, wavy or permed hair. This non-sticky, alcohol-free spray produces curls you can count on while the lightweight, anti-frizz formula gives your hair a lasting, glossy shimmer. Let the beauty of your hair shine through with Lustrasilk!

Itiba Papaya Body Lotion
I liked the tropical and earthy look of the site. It was inviting and beautifully soothing. The site even offers to give you a tour of the Island!
An 8 fl ounce bottle of the lotion costs $12.60 to ship to my address cost an additional $13.50 for a total cost of $26.10! Just no an expense I would incur unless sharing the shipping cost with someone else.
However, I found another site that sells the product called John Paul Selects $14.00 for 8 ounces and here are the shipping costs:
| USPS Standard Post | $6.85 |
| USPS Priority Mail | $6.95 |
| UPS Ground | $10.76 |
| UPS 2nd Day Air | $25.74 |
From their website:
Sweet, green, juicy this is a true prize of the Caribbean! A wonderful, Caribbean fragrance that is sure to satiate your senses!
100% Aloe Vera based. Jojoba, Avocado and Rice Bran oils along with dL Panthenol help to soften and moisturize your skin. A little is all that is required of this lotion. Sinks in quickly and does not leave any greasy after feel!
INGREDIENTS: Aloe Vera Juice, Avocado Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Jojoba Oil, stearic acid, cetearyl alcohol, ceteareth 20, Fragrance, dL Panthenol, preservative
Made in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
Another successful Curl Kit! I, of course, liked the Oyin Hair Dew — would have liked a FULL-SIZE container but it was a nice size sample.
So far, I’m really liking the Caviar Curls Velvet Leave-In Conditioner. I did leave a posted question on the Curl Kit Face Book Page asking where this product can be purchased. Will update this post with their response!
I’m in love with the Pooka Lemon-Aide! I just open the jar to smell it! Simply divine! (smiling!)
The Itiba smells like the tropics and is worth the purchase if it can be bought at a cheaper shipping cost.
The Lustrasilk, for me, will be a no go. Smells nice. However, I’m a wash n’ go wearer and this product will find little use in my regimen since I rarely do twists or braid-outs.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my Review. Please, comment and subscribe!
Happy Curls to You!
