The Truth About Curls by Paul Mitchell (Review + GIVEAWAY)

Curls… you either love your curls or you hate them. I love mine. Well, most of the time. Each individual strand has a mind of its own. But when they work together, I love my crazy spirals.

The Truth About Curls by Paul Mitchell

Paul Mitchell the truth about curls

A couple of months ago I received a package from Retail Box that made my heart skip a beat.

Paul Mitchell The Truth About Curls

This box of curl-loving gorgeousness by Paul Mitchell is a wild-haired girl’s dream. Here are my thoughts on the products … and stick around to the end as I have a surprise in store. You don’t want to miss this!

Paul Mitchell Spring Loaded Shampoo

Paul Mitchell Spring Loaded Shampoo

This shampoo is an absolute beaut. It gently cleanses my hair leaving it soft, nourished and easy to detangle. It produces a lovely rich lather that smells great. Can I get a whoop-whoop for the fact that it is sulphate free?! I wash my hair every day (I know, I know!) and I am happy to report that my hair looks and feels great. 250ml retails for R285.

Paul Mitchell Full Circle Leave In Treatment

The Truth About Curls by Paul Mitchell

The Full Circle Leave In Treatment is rich and creamy and feels very luxurious. My hair feels soft, conditioned and very supple and I highly recommend this leave-in conditioner. Tangles are a thing of the past and all frizzies are banished. 200ml retails for R295.

Paul Mitchell Ultimate Wave

Paul Mitchell Ultimate Wave

I wasn’t very keen to try Ultimate Wave at first. Usually when I spot the word ‘gel’ I tend to steer clear. Most gel products leave my curls feeling either sticky or crunchy, with no shape at all. Not a good look for me. BUT this gel-cream surprised me. No crunch, no stickiness, just beautifully shaped curls. If you use this product together with the Paul Mitchell Full Circle Leave In Treatment, you have a combination that can’t be beat. My curls are left smooth, shaped and bouncy. Ultimate Wave is great for spirals but I think it will work even better with waves. If you want the tousled, I-just-got-back-from-the-beach look, then this is the product for you. 150ml retails for R285.

Paul Mitchell Twirl Around

Paul Mitchell Twirl Around curl definer

Love, Love, Love. Twirl Around curl cream is an absolute winner in my books. It shapes my curls beautifully. They are full of life and bounce… perfectly shaped and smoothed. And it lasts the whole day. This gorgeous bottle may just be the best curl definer I have ever tried. Paul Mitchell Twirl Around… for perfectly shaped and healthy-looking spirals and waves that will get heads turning. 150ml retails for R320.

All of these products are available on Retail Box.

Retailbox Hair Lust List

RBlogo

I’m not really one for ‘window shopping’, but I couldn’t help lusting after quite a few goodies while browsing Retailbox lately. I am really trying my best to take better care of my hair and Retailbox is the perfect one-stop-shop.

These items make my heart skip a beat…

retailbox lust2

Kerastase Elixir Ultime  – I’ve read a few rave reviews on this hair oil and the packaging just looks so indulgent, don’t you think? R470

L’Oréal Tendresse Shampoo and Detangling Cream. I didn’t know that L’Oréal made hair products for kids. I’m always on the lookout for products to keep Cara’s curls looking great and I’d love to give these a try. R231 and R267

Pureology Strength Cure Restorative Masque. ‘Boosts strength and reduces breakage. Helps protect colour radiance.’ Sounds like just what I need. R305

Paul Mitchell Spring Loaded Conditioner. The name just says it all. I have to try this on our curls. R275

Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo. I haven’t tried anything from this brand yet, but from what I’ve heard, this shampoo is a winner. And because its sulfate, phosphate and paraben-free, it’s gentle enough for everyday use. I want. R270

Invisibobble in Candy Pink. Just so cute. R80

Tangle Teezer. I would love to find out how the Tangle Teezer will perform with our curls. I know many say it’s a must-have, but I wonder if it’s worth the hype and the price tag? I so badly want to find out. I would love the Compact Christmas Edition for myself and a Magic Flowerpot for Cara. I mean, seriously… how cute is that? R260

Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse. After watching the how-to video on this product’s page, this mousse has gone from my ‘want list’ to my ‘need list’. It looks like the perfect styling product for me. R290

Paul Mitchell Neuro Dry. A hairdryer is a hairdryer, right? Well, apparently not. ‘Boasting tourmaline ions for quicker drying, reduced frizz and enhanced shine, the dryer offers 2000W of power, whilst the ‘Clean Filter’ is activated by the SmartSense microchip to ensure optimum performance and efficient styling.’ I think I want to trade Cara’s neon pink dryer (that we’ve been sharing) for this one! R2 500.
