Recently I ran out of my conditioner, leave-in, gel, and deep conditioner and was looking around trying to decide what to buy. I could have gone back to Activilong or Garnier Ultra Doux but I felt like trying something new because I was unhappy with the amount of frizz I had and thought something else might give me better results.
I saw Aunt Jackie’s products and decided to give them a try.
I bought the Oh So Clean Moisturizing & Softening Shampoo, Knot On My Watch Instant Detangling Therapy, Don’t Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel, Curl La La Defining Curl Custard, and In Control Moisturizing & Softening Conditioner.
Oh So Clean Moisturizing & Softening Shampoo
Touted as a soft shampoo that will moisturize and soften hair without stripping it, I was intrigued since I needed a new everyday shampoo, it is enriched with Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It claims that your tresses will become super clean, soft, hydrated, and easier to comb.
On first use I was convinced, it delivered on its promises, and an added bonus being that while I usually avoid products with Coconut oil in this one did not turn my hair dry and crunchy.
I don’t wash my hair every day, I usually wash twice a week but I’ve been trying to stretch that to once a week, if you wash your hair every day I will venture to say that you probably won’t’ encounter any issues using this in your hair.
I give it 4 stars.
In Control Moisturizing & Softening Conditioner
Tame, nourish, and deep condition frizzy, hard-to-manage, dehydrated, brittle natural curls, coils, and waves with natural extracts and proteins.
Aunt Jackie’s Curls & Coils
I’m sorry to say that this product failed to deliver any of its promises. Not only did my hair not feel soft and moisturized but I had to fight with a lot of frizz as well.
I found that I had to add a milk mask to this conditioner to get decent results. Thank you Garnier Ultra Doux Cacao Milk Masque! I shouldn’t have to add another product to get the results that this one said it could deliver. I am definitely not buying this one again.
I give it 2 stars.
Knot On My Watch Instant Detangling Therapy
Great detangling solution for all hair types and textures.
Aunt Jackie’s Curls & Coils
I’m not really sure why I bought this as I don’t really have knots or need much to detangle. It was not an enjoyable experience at all. It left my hair feeling very sticky and dry and I was not impressed. I will never buy this again because I get better detangling while using a basic conditioner.
I give it 11/2 stars
Curl La La Defining Curl Custard
This product is aimed at taming frizz and making your hair easier to manage and let’s just say that I still had lots and lots of frizz after using this added to that fact that this was in addition to using the conditioner that was also supposed to tame and condition frizzy hair. Who’s frizzy hair was is supposed to tame? Because it surely did not tame mine!
I made the mistake of using this and following it up with the gel and had a horrible time when the custard turned into pink crumbles in my freshly washed hair. I immediately washed my hair again with the shampoo but they were still there which meant I had to use my stripping shampoo. Definitely watch what products you use alongside it.
I give it 3 stars.
Don’t Shrink Flaxseed Elongating Curling Gel
This is a pretty okay gel, it has a strong hold so on day two of my wash and go I still had some crunch in my hair. I don’t scrunch the crunch because I get terrible frizz that way. I still have frizz either way but I prefer to let it release on its own.
By day three my curls were very pouffy, I had so much volume and I did have some defined curls in the back and the very front but those on the underside lost their hold and turned to frizz.
I give it 31/2 stars
Conclusion
After using these products for well over two weeks I can safely say that the majority of them are not for me. Not only did they not do what they were supposed to but they left my hair in a worse state and who needs that from hair products? I know I don’t. Like with everything your usage may vary so if you feel like giving it a try and seeing if you have different results Aunt Jackie’s is very affordable. I bought most of the products from Superbeaute with the exception of In Control which was Out of Stock at the time.
Finally, I give the whole lot 3 stars because the shampoo and the gel were not too bad and if I had no other options I would use them without a second thought. The others I will never use again after I finish these.
