Camille Rose Curlaide Moisture Butter Review

hi hi everyone, I hope all is well.

I’ve recently finished a bunch of hair products and I’m slowing getting through all my reviews- there’s a lot more reviews coming so watch this space!

So the Camille Rose (CR) Curlaide moisture butter wasn’t actually on my list of products to try but I had finished my Keracare buttercream and the CR just happened to be on sale lol so I decided to get it instead of the As I am double cream which I was initially looking at. its funny because I’ve tried 3 other CR products and I wasn’t blown away by either of them….but a sale is a sale lool and it was cheaper than the As I am.

I’ve been using the butter a few times a week, maybe every few days to help moisturise my hair. I have fine 4c medium to high porosity hair that has recently been coloured. the butter can be used in a few ways for detangling, styling or as just to moisturise the hair and I’ve been using it solely for the later.

I really like this hair cream. For my fine hair it actually doesn’t feel weighed down or greasy with this. It can cause some reversion on blowdried hair depending on how much I use but I usually flat twist afterwards so its not a huge issue for me. it works really well to soften the hair too. it smells amazing, very similar to vanilla birthday cake. its a thick creamy butter, smooths onto the hair easily but just takes a bit more massaging to fully sink in. No issues with flakes. I’ve used it alone but I also like layering on a bit of hair oil afterwards.

Verdict

I was looking for a buttercream similar to the Keracare one that was easy to use during the week to keep my hair moisturized. I really like this, it leaves my hair soft and with lasting moisture and the scent is amazing. It lasts quite a bit too, I think I started using it sometime last year and I’ve only just finished it. I’m currently using the Keracare oil moisturiser and I will report back on that.

CR is available from superdrug, boots , asos or LF.

take care

Amika The Wizard Review

hi hi everyone, I hope all is well. Today I have another Amika product review and Im talking about the very popular the wizard silicone free detangling primer.

This is a lightweight primer that helps to detangle whilst offering heat protection up to 230 degrees.

Experience

I came across this last year on TT and decided to try it as at the time I was already using the hydrorush line and loved it. I use this on wash days only, before leave in conditioner for blow-drying. It comes out in a fine mist and doesn’t leave the hair sticky or weighed down when blowdried. I absolutely love the scent of this, it reminds me of the Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62 body mist, its a lingering scent but it disappears after blowdrying. What I find weird though is that it kind off foams/ lathers up in the hair like when you don’t completely rinse out your shampoo and some of the lather is left behind lol. Again this goes away after blowdrying and it doesnt leave any flakes.

It pairs well with other products. I layer about 3 products when blowdrying: a blowdry primer/mist, leave in and a serum and I have had 0 issues with flakes or pilling and I usually very generous with this. I also haven’t experienced any heat damage since I’ve been using this. In terms of slip for detangling, I can detangle with it after washing but the slip it provides isn’t the same as a conditioner but it works just as well. I can get a wide comb and brush through my hair easily.

Verdict

I love this product. I’ve gone through 3 bottles in the last year and half: 1 full sized 1 mini size and a deluxe sample size that came in a gift set. I will definitely recommend for 4c natural hair. I have fine 4c medium to high porosity hair and its worked really well. I’m currently using the Amika frizz me not treatment and will be back for a review on that

did you know Boots sell Amika? you can get the wizard and lots more Amika products at Boots!
