Some of you may remember this product review I did on Bee Mine a few months ago. On August 16th, I received this comment that prompted me to want to revisit the product:
teachermrw said:...The Bee Hold Curly Hair Butter won't leave the hair soft and moisturized. It is an oil-based product, and not a water-based product. The first ingredient is unrefined shea butter, and not water. So, naturally, it won't be moisturizing. One would need to use a water-based product prior to using the Curly Hair Butter.
"teachermrw" You have a point there [lol], so this weekend I rummaged through my stash of products and decided to try the following combination:
Giovanni Direct [Leave-In]
Oyin Burnt Sugar Pomade [To Seal In Moisture]
Bee Mine Curly Butter
The Method:
- I used inch-sized sections to twist my hair because I wanted more definition [more of a spiral vs a wave]
- I smoothed my hair with a denman brush prior to twisting [make sure your hair is detangled first]
- I allowed the twists to dry thoroughly before removing to reduce chances of frizz.
- I separated my twists into as many sections as I could to create more volume
The Results:
The Verdict:
Two days later; my hair is extremely soft, still defined, and very, very shiny! I didn't have that crunchy feeling [coupled with a weird residue] that I had before, so Curly Butter is definitely here to stay. I would even go so far as saying this product is up there with Komaza Curl Pudding.
One of my other complaints was MAJOR shrinkage/loss of volume; as you can see in this video, neither of those is an issue!
*Taking notes*
ReplyDeleteYour hair is awesome :)...How can I get my hair to be more shiny without feeling like it has tons of product in it?!
ReplyDeleteso cool your hair came out great!
ReplyDeleteHello my name is Dominique and i live in the UK. I've been following your blog for a few months now and i love it! I recently bought Ruby Woo on your recommendation having never worn red lipstick. Since going natural 3 years ago i have so much more confidence in wearing new make up looks than i ever did relaxed. I just wanna thank you for your blog and will continue to read it!
ReplyDeletei agree with takeysha. ur hair is madd shiny, I'm afraid i'd have to dump in globs of oily product to get that glisten. glad u gave the curly butter a second try, this came out great, btw...
