This is probably one of my favourite hair products and I don't even have naturally curly hair! Although it can be used to give soft curls to straight hair, it works best on naturally wavy/curly hair. Well I'll get straight into it, this product smells amazing! The smell is a bit on the perfumey side but i think that's great most of the time, as it saves having to put any perfume on especially because it lasts nearly all day. I would definitely recommend keeping your hair down with this product in as its the best way to let the beautiful scent free all day long!
Quick tip: Wash your hair in the evening before bed, towel dry, massage in a small blob* of Here Come the Curls Crème Lite and French braid. When you wake up in the morning it should be dry, if not and you need to go out give it a quick blast with the hair dryer and then undo the braid. It will have created beautiful soft waves that will last all day because of the holding properties of the product, not to mention it will smell even more amazing! This should work with any length of hair that can be put into a proper French braid, I've only just been able to start doing mine again since I started growing it out. I would definitely recommend using this style on shorter hair like mine as it gives it loads of texture, similar in style to Taylor Swift's gorgeous wavy short hair which is going to be big in 2015 as it's a much more natural effortless look.
One of my favourite things about this product is it's versatility, it can literally improve any style, I love using it to keep my hair sleek and straight and as already mentioned wavy and curly, it has such great holding powers so even using it just to keep flyaways tame when pinning it back for a sleek up-do is effortless. Plus if your like me and don't really like the feel of most hairspray's or you just don't want to use them too often it works so well as a short term replacement for hair spray, although it doesn't have quite the holding power of hair spray it certainly tries!
So a quick overview of my conclusions...
1. Validity (does it do what it says it does?) : Yes, 7/10 however could produce better curls.
2. Smell: 9/10 Amazing!! Maybe not to everyone's tastes but I LOVE it!
3. Holding Properties: 6/10 Better than average, it holds my waves all day, but something stronger may be needed for more than just everyday wear, especially for full curls.
4. Packaging: 4/10 This is the one thing i think could be a lot better for this product, I don't really like the way the bar code is on the front, its not a very appealing front really.
5. Recommendation score: 10/10 I can't really recommend this product enough just to give your style just that little bit extra, I would definitely say try it once, if it doesn't work for you it's not that expensive so its not that much of an issue.
And that brings me nicely on to the last scale:
Price: 9/10 There may be cheaper alternatives out there, but I highly doubt they are anywhere near as good a value for money, I mean for £5.33 at boots its a complete bargain in my book!
*Quick note: My hair is quite thin and shoulder length and in this post I am going on personal experience so I would recommend using more if your hair is thick and fairly long.
*Disclaimer - I haven't been asked to do this post by anyone, this is my own product that I just really love!.*
