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.

Retailbox Secret Box #18 – Pureology Curl Complete Review

If you follow me on Social Media, you would have seen my clues, giveaway and eventual unveiling of the contents of the Retailbox Secret Box no. 18. Not sure what the RBSecretBox is?

Retail Box Secret Box #RBsecretbox

#RBsecretbox is an exciting opportunity for new and existing Retailbox customers to treat themselves to
premium products they have possibly not tried before. Each #RBsecretbox is priced according to the
products inside so prices will vary as every box is different and from different suppliers. This is an
exclusive offer with limited stock and a massive discount making it a much sort after offer and a bonus
of no subscriptions to tie you down.

The only clue that was given on Retailbox about box #18… ‘Enhance your curly side with this vegan Sulphate free range’.

So what was inside the box?

Retail Box Secret Box 18 Pureology Curl Complete Review Pretty Please Charlie
Pureology Curl Complete Shampoo and Conditioner (plus a gorgeous fluffy turbin)

This was my first time trying this brand and I have been very curious (to say the least) as all the reviews I have read are stellar.

Pureology Curl Complete Shampoo – R278

This shampoo is specifically formulated for curly colour-treated hair, which is perfect for my naturally curly and highlighted (read: DRY!) hair. The shampoo foams well for a sulphate-free product and gently cleanses the hair. The formula is thick and creamy and smells lovely. Curl Complete Shampoo contains an Anti-Fade Complex and Coconut Oils to replenish moisture and erase frizz.

Pureology Curl Complete Conditioner- R316

I was worried that the conditioner would be too light for my hair and that I would have to use half the bottle to detangle this bossiekop, but the conditioner turned out to be my favourite of the two products. I only need a little bit of product to detangle and to leave my hair feeling soft and smooth. Result: Soft, shiny, healthy-looking curls. I REALLY like this conditioner. It is also ideal for fine hair as it does not weigh the hair down at all.

I’ve noticed that my hair actually feels thicker since I started using this range. I have a lot of hair, but it is very fine. The condition of my hair has improved and I am really happy with the results.

Two thumbs up Pureology.

And two thumbs up Retailbox for a great Secret Box! This Secret Box went for only R280 and if you hurry you may still be able to get your hands on one. You can click HERE to see if they still have stock.

I am a big fan of the #RBSecretbox. All of the boxes that I’ve received have been great value for money.

Make sure to follow Retailbox on Instagram for hints about the release of the next one.
