The Curl Company Review Pretty Please Charlie

Curl Defining Mousse – R179.95 (200ml)

The Curl Defining Mousse does a great job at defining my spiral curls. My hair is extremely fine and I need something that gives great hold without leaving my hair tacky or crunchy. This mousse does exactly that. I apply it to damp hair, after I comb through a little conditioner*. This is a great mousse and gets 2 thumbs up.

Styling Crème Gel – R109.95 (150ml)

I have a love/hate relationship with all curl creams. Most curl creams do not give me enough hold and in order to give any sort of shape, I have to apply so much product that my curls often are weighed down and look greasy. I also don’t do gel. It does not work with my hair at all. I was super curious to see how this creme gel would perform and I tried it on the same day that I received it. I applied a very generous amount (as I mentioned I need a lot of product) to freshly washed, damp hair. Oh my, what a bloody disappointment. They said it’s a no crunch formula. Uhm, you should have heard the crunch. And my curls looked horrible (takkerig is the only word I can think of to describe it). So I put the tube away. There’s a but coming so keep reading…

So many ladies asked for feedback after I posted the above pic on Instagram, that I thought that I should perhaps give it another try.

This time I took less of the creme gel and mixed into that an equal amount of conditioner. It doesn’t look great when you mix the two as the texture is very strange BUT I got results! Amazing results.

The Curl Company Styling Crème Gel + conditioner* = beautiful, bouncy, soft, shapely curls!

Love, love, LOVE! The creme gel is now my favourite of the two products.

Next I want to try the sulphate-free shampoo and masque.

* Here’s a little tip…  if leave-in conditioner is too light and doesn’t do it for you, use your normal conditioner. That’s what I do and my hair loves it.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion & Oil Review

Palmer’s is on a roll. They keep on impressing me over and over again. First I was completely blown away by the Coconut Oil Formula hair care range. BLOWN AWAY! I have not bought another shampoo since trying the range last year. You can read my review HERE. Then I tried the new Raw Shea Butter body lotion. Once again it was love. My full review is over HERE.

Today I introduce to you yet another fab range by this truly fantastic brand.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion and Body Oil

Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula Body Lotion & Body Oil

Coconut treats that deeply hydrate and pamper… you’ve hit the nail on the head Palmer’s. That’s exactly what these two beauties do.

Both the body lotion and body oil is formulated with ethically and sustainably sourced coconut oil  and Tahitian Monoi Oil. If you want soft, smooth, hydrated and delicately scented skin, I highly recommend both of these budget-friendly treats.

The body lotion is rich and moisturising and leaves my skin feeling soothed and calm. My skin is very dry and becomes extremely sensitive with change of season, and this lotion is exactly what it has been craving for. It is thicker than the Raw Shea Butter lotion and it is ideal for winter when my skin needs a little extra care. Brownie points for the pump bottle!

The body oil is just as lovely. It’s light and fast absorbing and works great when applied to damp skin straight after a bath or shower. It doubles a hair treatment, but I have yet to try it on my locks.

Another reason I adore Palmer’s is that all of their products are extremely gentle and nasties-free. I use all of their body care products on my little girl’s delicate skin as well.

The oil and the lotion retail for a steal at only R63 each and are available at Clicks and Dis-Chem.
