Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter Review

Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai Twisting Butter



I was happy when I found out that Camille Rose Naturals line was now at select Target stores. I knew that her product line is expensive so I only purchased the Curl Love Moisture Milk and the Almond Jai Twisting Butter. This is also a favorite among my naturals sisters so I could not wait to try it.

 

Product info:

This product is a twisting butter. It claims to be the best moisturizing twist butter ever. This product has a thick somewhat creamy tan texture. It smells really good like vanilla cake. This product retails for $16.99. It can be purchased from their website @www.camillerosenaturals.com, Target, Amazon, & Curlmart.

The product states:
 Hydrates-Soften-Strengthens
Camille Rose is bringing you back to natural by nourishing your dry and frizzy curls. It also states that this product is a must have butter that will leave your twists soft, strengthen, elongated and holds your style.

On the website says:

How I used it:

I started off with freshly cleaned and conditioned hair. I used this product alone. I decided to braid my hair with this product. I applied it to wet hair and on each braid. As you can see from the pic the product started to clump up. Maybe I applied to much or because its to thick for my thin hair. I wrapped my hair and went to bed. In the morning I unbraided my hair.

 

My braid-out:

My hair was somewhat dry but soft. It was defined ok but the back was frizzy. The product wasn't as moisturizing as it claimed. My hair was shiny and my curls was popping in the front section. The hold was average.

 

 Fluffed out:

I picked out my roots to make my hair bigger and I did like the results. My hair was fluffy, soft still but not that moisturizing.

 

 

 Later that day hair:

Later, my hair started to frizz up and became dryer. I was so disappointed with this product.

 Due to the fizziness I had to go to my go to style a puff. After all that work on my hair and only to puff it I was not happy.

 

 



 

Final thoughts:

I had high hopes for this product. I thought it was a little expensive but I still chose to purchase it. This product wasn't as moisturizing nor did it help with fizziness. It also didn't last throughout the day as it promised. I did have some elongation and shine. It did not flake which was great. My hair was cute for about 6 hours. I will not be repurchasing this product. For the cost and the hairstyle not lasting a day it was not worth it. I am interested in trying her other products. I give this product a 2 out of 5.

 

Pros: Scent, shine, cute packaging, non-flaking, on the ground in select Targets.

Cons: Price, not moisturizing enough, not long-lasting, gunky

Naturalista Juicy Leave-In Conditioner Review

Naturalista Juicy Leave-In Conditioner

I received the sample of Naturalist Juicy Leave-in in my April Curlkit. I finally got a chance to try it. People rave about this product and how moisturizing it is. My hair is naturally dry so I was anxious to finally see how it works on my hair.

 

Product info:

This product has a fluffy texture and melts upon application into an oil. The juicy leave-in has a cake-like scent. It appears to be light but it has weight to it after you apply it to your hair. Its a bit "greasy" and left my hands feeling that way too oily. This product retails for $22.00 for 8oz and $45.00 for 16oz. It can be purchased directly from their website @http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/juicyleavein.

 

From website: This products claims.....

 

Healthy hair doesnt have to be a hassle when you use this lavish smelling Juicy Leave In Conditioner on a regular basis. Simply work into fully detangled damp hair after shampooing, and let the Juicy Leave-In do its work.

The uniquely light combination of whipped butters will seal in the natural moisture of the water in your hair, and as it dries the essential oils and healthy lipids will absorb quickly - giving you moisture and softness that lasts all day. The same formula that leaves your hair touchably soft also coats your hair with its nutrients, creating a natural barrier against frizz and split ends.

One quick step will heal brittle hair over time, giving it the boost you need to help it grow long and beautiful. The Juicy restores the natural balance of your hair, making dyed, permed, relaxed and chemically treated hair a much healthier look. Pairs wonderfully with Juicy Elixir.

NOTE: This product is not meant to be combed through hair. Use it as a conditioning styling aid for twists and braid outs after hair has been detangled. May be used for other styles! A signature will be required at delivery.

How I used it: I started off with freshly washed and conditioned hair. I section of my hair into 4 sections and started applying the product using the shingling method. I then twisted my hair my using the rope twist method.

 

My results: Despite the "greasiness" of this product it gave me great results. My hair was moisturized throughout the 4 days I had it in my hair.

 

Washed hair/Twisted hair: 

 

 

 Rope Twists:

 Finished Twisting...it took 2 hours!!!!!

 Day 2 hair:

Final thoughts:

 I really liked the product but it was a bit greasy. I have the sample size and it was good for 2 uses. Would I purchase the 8oz? Probably not unless I can get 50% off. But all in all i'll give it a 4 out of 5.

 

Pros: Moisture, moisture moisture!!!

Long-lasting results

Great for twist-outs

 

Cons: Greasy/oily
