First Impressions: Aunt Jackie's Curls and Coils

Elo! Elo!

We're talking yumminess today! We really are.

I was introduced to the Aunt Jackie's Curls & Coils product line on the surface around September when my workplace started running advertisements for it. Then I got my hands on some last week when Sophia Babb, Sale Representative with Bryden Stokes Ltd. and a licensed cosmetologist for over 30 years, came by with a bag full of goodies!

The first thing that anyone that's hair conscious will notice is that beautiful disclaimer...
NO Sulfates, NO Parabens, NO Mineral Oil and NO Petrolatum?

YES please!

This isn't to say that the product is all natural, because it's not. But that has never bothered me anyway. Go here for full product descriptions and ingredient lists.

The second thing I noticed were the names, which remind me of Kinky Curly product names. They really are catchy and the packaging is well done. I found out later that the bottles are not hard to squeeze and the tubs have wide openings for easy reach.

A little goes a looooong way with Oh So Clean! You really do not want a lot of this shampoo at all. My hair did not feel stripped but it did feel clean. But please, do not get this in your eyes. The only thing that stopped me from bringing down the roof was the poor ill dear in the next room. This thing burns!! I thought at that moment that I truly understood that scripture which goes "And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee..." (Matthew 18:9)

I don't yet have a clear impression of In Control because the sample size barely had enough for a quarter of my thick head of hair.

My detangling process was a breeze with Knot On My Watch. I used a comb this time around as I was trying to follow that instructions closely and I had no problems. My hair immediately felt moisturized and ready for styling.

I'm happy already with the Curl La La defining curl custard. I twisted my hair and it stayed moisturized even after some harsh treatment...

So! The true test begins now. I have not combed my hair and it's rock hard. I intend to use these products consistently over then next couple weeks and then I'll be back for a final review.

Oh, just so you know, these things smell AH-MAY-ZING! Someone one Youtube described it as Starburst, as in the candy. She's so right. I walked around smelling like some gorgeous perfume the entire night...
