kurlee-belle-almond-shea-butter-shampoo
Price Point & Size:
$16.00 / 8 oz
Description:
Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo gently cleanses the hair and scalp without stripping natural oils. Almond nourishes the hair to help it grow long and strong. Shea Butter deeply moisturizes while repairing damage to the hair and scalp. Citrus contains vitamins that cleanse and increase scalp circulation.
How To Use:
Apply Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo to wet hair. Gently massage into hair and scalp to create a rich lather. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
I only used it to cleanse once.  It did such a great job the first go around I didn’t feel it necessary to reapply.  The lather is ON POINT and a little goes a long way so don’t over do it with this product.
Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Cocamide MEA, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Apple Cider Vinegar, Polyquaternium- 10, Polyquaternium-7, PEG-12 Dimethicone, PEG-150 Distearate, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Citric Acid, Fragrance (Parfum).
The Smell:
Like a slice of citrus, nutty heaven.  That sounds weird, but it smells amazing.  It’s one of those smells you just to have to experience for yourself.  Trust me.
Final Conclusions:
This was my first time using this shampoo and it exceeded whatever expectations I did have.  I didn’t expect it to be as effective and I really like the fact that it worked well with my color-treated hair!  It didn’t leave my hair feeling stripped, but it also left my hair feeling very clean.  I’ll be using this often.
kurlee-belle-banana-avocado-deep-treatment
Price Point & Size:
$16.00 / 8 oz
Description:Banana Nut & Avocado Deep Treatment is just what the doctor ordered for dry, damaged hair. Bring those tresses back to life with our smooth concoction of Banana, Avocado, Honey and Coconut. Banana is rich in potassium and hailed for its moisturizing properties. Avocado contains fatty acids that nourish, smooth and soften hair. Honey provides shine while conditioning to make hair soft and supple. Coconut hydrates, conditions and softens.
How To Use:
Apply a generous amount to wet hair. Gently massage into scalp and comb through with fingers or wide tooth comb. Cover with a plastic cap. Sit under hooded dryer for 5-20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
When it says “generous” I translate that to mean “don’t hold back” so I didn’t.  I used enough to cover all of my strands and it was a great product to use for detangling.  I didn’t use a comb, but I finger detangled so that my curls would clump together.  Also, instead of using a hooded dryer, I used just the cap and left it on for 20 minutes. Hair. so. soft.
Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Stearic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Musa Sapientum (Banana) Fruit Basil Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Honey Extract, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance (Parfum).
The Smell:
This smells like banana nut bread.  it’s just that simple.  It is a fresh loaf of banana nut bread baking on your curls.  It’s just glorious.
Final Conclusions:
I used all of this up the first time, so this time around I intend to do the same.  It is the truth!  The smell… yea, that’s enough, but what’s a smell if it’s not effective?  This left my curls so hydrated and soft.  This would be one of my favorites from the whole line.
kurlee-belle-thirsty-kurls-leave-in-conditioner
Price Point & Size:
$14.00 / 8 oz
Description:Thirsty Kurls Leave-In Conditioner provides “lots of slip” and moisture that detangles and softens curls. Hibiscus penetrates the cuticle to maintain acid balance. Aloe Vera soothes and moisturizes dry, damaged hair. Honey hydrates and helps the hair retain moisture.
How To Use:After shampooing with Almond & Shea Butter Moisturizing Shampoo apply a generous amount of Thirsty Kurls Leave-In Conditioner.
There goes that word “generous” again.  I used about a quarter size amount… well… you can see on the video exactly how much I used.  It was a good amount.  I just applied it all over my hair making sure to massage it into my ends (as they are normally the thirstiest).
Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Simmondsia Chinsensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Emulsifying Wax, Hibiscus Rosa-Senensis Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Honey Extract, Tocopheryl Acetate, BHT, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance (Parfum).
The Smell:
Unlike the two products mentioned above, this is more of a floral aroma.  It really smells like a bed full of roses, but it’s not overbearing (as a matter of fact it’s rather faint).
Final Conclusions:
This was my first time using this product.  I didn’t really have to use this product to detangle (already did that with the deep treatment), but it does have great slip and my hair was very soft.  Maybe I will repurpose this and use it as a styler or moisturizer… Hmmm…
kurlee-belle-kurl-defining-creme
Price Point & Size:
$18.00 / 8 oz

DESCRIPTION:KURL DEFINING CREME MOISTURIZES, DE-FRIZZES AND DEFINES CURLS. FOR SOFT, SHINY, ELONGATED CURLS, CUPUACU BUTTER PROMOTES MOISTURE AND ELASTICITY. ARGAN OIL CONTAINS VITAMINS AND FATTY ACIDS THAT STRENGTHEN AND ENCOURAGE GROWTH. SHEA BUTTER DEEPLY MOISTURIZES WHILE REPAIRING DAMAGE TO THE HAIR AND SCALP.

HOW TO USE:APPLY A GENEROUS AMOUNT TO WET OR DRY HAIR AND STYLE AS USUAL. GREAT FOR TWISTS, BRAIDS AND AS A DAILY MOISTURIZER.

I haven’t used this as a daily moisturizer because I haven’t needed to, but I think I’ll explore that possibility.  Also, the definition it claims to give is not a lie.  It leaves your styles very defined!
Ingredients:Water (Aqua), Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Stearic Acid, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin, Montmorillonite, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Cetyl Alcohol, Theobroma Grandiflorum (Cupuacu) Butter, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil, Emulsifying Wax, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylates Crosspolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate, BHT, Disodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance (Parfum).
The Smell:
This smells more like coconuts to me than anything.  It’s light and I can dig that.
Final Conclusions:
This is a very lightweight formula!  It isn’t sticky, nor does it leave a residue (don’t over do it, though).  This was one of the first products that I got and though I didn’t use the whole thing the first go around, I used a good amount.  It has since then been reformulated and I like it even more now.  I used this in conjunction with the Jelle Coconut, but used alone it is also effective at keeping the frizz away.  The price is a little steep, but truly a little goes a long way (so don’t burn through your money using way too much of this product)!
kurlee-belle-jelle-coconut-styling-gel
Price Point & Size:
$14.00 / 8 oz
Description:Jelle Coconut sculpts and defines your natural curl pattern without crunch and flakes. This product is made from 100% Coconut Oil to hydrate and condition your strands for maximum hold and shine. Jelle Coconut is the ultimate curl definer for frizz-free, soft and sexy curls.
How To Use:Evenly apply Jelle Coconut to sections of freshly washed, conditioned, detangled, damp hair. Work a generous amount of product through hair from root to tip and style as usual. Let hair air dry or use a  blow dryer with diffuser.
Because I use this with the Kurls Defining Creme I don’t use a lot of it.  I really want to explore defining my coils with it… I think that’s up next.
Ingredients:Water(Aqua), Polysorbate 20, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Vinyl, Pyrrolidone, Glycerin, Carbomer, Tetrasodium EDTA, DMDM Hydantoin, Triethanolamine, Fragrance (Parfum)
The Smell:
Faint scent of coconut.. hence the name.  But it doesn’t smell like artifical coconuts.  It smells like the real deal.
Final Conclusions:
I love this gel.  I can’t remember why I didn’t use it regularly before but I feel like now is the time to start exploring it more.  The hold it gives without the flakes? Soft, yet the style didn’t budge.

Natural Hair | That's Fierce: Updo on Wash N Go Hair


@BaronessCountess rocks a textured updo puff! This style is the perfect way to revive an old Wash N Go. *Style Suggestions by Kurlee Belle: Use stretchy elastic headband to create puff. Use bobby pins to pin headband in place. A little Jelle Coconut Styling Gel with a spritz of water and a brush to smooth edges and back of style then spray lightly with Kurlee Tropical Oils Blend to bring back shine. To make your style look edgy, rock a dark lip like Cyber by MAC with winged out eyes.

Natural Hair Tutorial | Goddess Braid the Perfect Summer Protective Style


1. Start on detangled hair (The hair in the picture below was previously in a twist out. The hair was sectioned and lightly sprayed with water and conditioned using Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner to soften the texture.) This leave-in conditioner makes the hair soft and allows it to be easily smoothed with a boar bristle brush. 


2. Use a rattail comb to fashion a precise part on one side. The model in this photo opted for a textured bang so hair was left out in the front. A clean separation in the part makes for a sleeker and more striking look. We used Jelle Coconut Styling Gel to smooth the hair and edges for a seamless beautiful braid. 



3. Once each braid has made it to the nape, secure the ends with bobby pins. A sharp part makes this look neat and stunning. Use hair pins that match your hair color. 


The Goddess Braid is a perfect protective style for Summer. 

It is very low maintenance: to fresh up the look, spray lightly with water and apply a light weight gel that will not flake or crunch like Jelle Coconut Styling Gel. The hair must be tied down at night with a satin or silk scarf to prevent frizz.

askpRoy Tutorial: Holiday Hairstyle? Twist and Curl on Dry, Stretched Hair (Video and Written Tutorial)



#PROYEASYCURLS

Classically named and rightfully so.  These curls are so easy to achieve and are the base of this popular style that I refreshed, rocked, and recorded.


If you need a holiday style or are just too lazy to wash and set your hair, this is easy enough to do and the results are stunning.  Check out product details, tutorials and more pics below!

What You'll Need:
Comb
Clip(s)
Water
Oil
Moisturizer
Gel
Perm Rods

For my moisturizer and gel I used Kurlee Belle products that I received two weeks ago.  I'll do a formal review on them soon!  I am also using Nature's Shine Oil Blend by Organics Roots Stimulator that I received in a curlBOX ions ago.  You can use whatever products that work best for your hair to achieve this style.

I also used two sizes of perm rods for inconsistency in curl size (makes everything look more natural that way).

Your hair doesn't have to be washed... and really it doesn't need to be stretched, either.  This style can be achieved on both wet and dry hair.  For me, I like to do this style on dry, stretched hair.  Have your way!

Instructions:
  1. Divide hair into two sections by creating a horizontal part from ear to ear.  You should have a top and bottom part.
  2. Clip away top portion of hair.
  3. Spritz water on the bottom section of hair
  4. Starting from the nape, section off hair for twisting by grabbing a medium/large section of hair.
  5. Using a little of your moisturizer, work it in from end to root, focusing on the ends of your hair.
  6. Add a smidgen of gel to the ends of your hair (a little goes a long way).
  7. Detangle with your comb to make sure hair is smooth for twisting.
  8. Two strand twist hair in downward motion about 2/3 of the way.
  9. Smooth the rest of the hair around a perm rod and roll hair until you reach the twisted hair.
  10. Secure perm rod and repeat process until the your whole head is twisted.
  11. Spritz hair with oil (optional) to seal in the moisture.
  12. Let dry at least 3 hours (air dry) or you can use a hooded dryer OR sleep on the style.
To take down the style (according to pictorial pictured below):
  1. Remove all perm rods.
  2. Separate all twists.  You can spritz your hands with a little oil to keep the frizzes at bay.
  3. Separate the hair according to your liking.
  4. Fluff hair with hands or pick (your choice - optional)

I ended up with 20 twists, so I needed 20 rollers.

Remember: Twist your hair in the front forward so that it can set forward.

Natural Hair | How To: Wild Curly Fro



Have Fun with Your Hair! 

A great leave-in conditioner, is the key to a soft, bouncy curly fro. 

-On freshly shampooed hair, apply a lightweight leave-in conditioner like Thirsty Kurls Leave-in Conditioner that detangles, moisturizes and does not weigh hair down.  

-After hair is detangled, separate into small to medium size twists. For added definition, feel free to use a styling product (Kurl Defining Creme) in particular a creme to add lasting definition to the twists. 

-After all sections are neatly twisted, apply flexi rods. Your hair's length will determine the size of the flexi rods you use. The smaller the rods, the smaller the curl, vice versa. For large curls, use jumbo flexi rods.

(Twisting Tip: For best results, twists all sections of hair in the same direction or the direction of your curl pattern. When I twist my hair, I twist all sections away from my forehead. Twisting all sections in one direction will give your curls a unified look.) 

Flexi Rods
-Apply flexi rods to individual twists. When rolling the twist onto the flexi rod, roll in the direction that the hair is twisted. If you twisted all hair moving away from the forehead then you should apply your flexi rods moving away from the forehead. This step is very important as it will not disturb the curl pattern but will enhance your look. 

TIP: When rolling twists onto the flexi rod, you will start with the ends first. Try to get the twist to lay as flat as possible on the flexi rod, especially the ends of the twist. Wrap the ends of the twist around at least twice to make sure the twist is secured onto the flexi rod (the ends are the most critical part of this style as this is where definition will be most apparent, so you want to make sure the ends lie flat and tucked for the perfect curl). Once the ends are tucked flat around the flexi rod, begin to move up the twist to the root, placing the twists in a circular motion around the rod. Once at the root, bend the flexi rod in place, wherever it feels comfortable. Repeat until all twists are attached to flexi rods. Using the flexi rod with twists will stretch out the hair, for an elongated look. 

-Sit under hooded dryer or let hair air dry. Once hair is completely dry, use a light oil like Kurlee Tropical Oils Blend, to unravel the hair off of the flexi rod. Rub oil onto hands and take down rods then unravel twists. Using the oil, will reduce frizz and add shine. For a fuller or wilder fro, separate twist again after unraveling the first two strands. 

TIP: To create a fuller fro, use an afro pick at the root of the hair, coming up about two inches up. The afro pick will ruffle the hair so that any parts or sectioning is not visible. You can also use your fingers to rub along the scalp to close in any areas where parts or sectioning is visible.

This look is perfect for medium to long length hair. To prolong the life of your curly fro, you can re-twist at night and sleep with a satin bonnet.
