Review: Mixed Chicks

This is my product review on Mixed Chicks. I had been hearing about this product and wanted to give it a try. Big up's to Wendi (check her out in the video) for sending over these products to me! Mixed Chicks was created by Wendi Levy and Kim Etheredge. The products that were sent over to me were the shampoo, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner and the hair silk (which I will use in the AM).  So I used the products as instructed and below are my results.

 

This is the Mixed Chicks shampoo. The first thing I will tell you, if you are all about the ingredients in shampoos, then you should know that this shampoo contains two types of lauryl sulfates, which can be drying to the hair because it strips it. This shampoo will NOT leave your hair feeling dry or stripped. My hair felt very clean and moisturized, which is not normal for my hair after a shampoo. It smelled really good. I was extremely happy with this product.

 

After the shampoo, you move on to the deep conditioner. I looove conditioners!!! This one is awesome, hands down. I may even like it a little more then the Mizani True Textures Curl Replenish. It is super thick, which was a huge plus for me. It made detangling really easy. It didnt feel like my hair was weighed down at all, it didnt make it feel dry or hard, I know some of the people on youtube were having some issues with that. Another thing that really got me with this, my bangs are little coarser then the rest of my hair, and usually with wash outs, this section still looks coarse and dry, but with this deep conditioner I didnt have that problem! The ingredients didnt look bad, no silicones or mineral oils. Overall, this was good!

 

This is the Mixed Chicks Leave-In. I was pleased with this as well. It wasnt as thick as the Deep Conditioner, that was probably my only hang up. Just because I love thick conditioners. I did as I normally do, leave my hair soaking water. I sectioned my hair in four and applied to each section and did my second detangle. Again I didnt have any dry areas. I do love this conditioner. Again nothing horrible in it. It has jojoba oil which is good. And it dries fast. I am sooo happy with this.

 

This is Hair Silk. I havent used it, I will use it tomorrow to take down my braids. It promises to control frizz and give me shine. So I will use it tomorrow and come back to update.

 

Over all, this line is whats up. For me to even consider another line over Mizani is really saying something. Because I <3 Mizani. The only hang I can see is some "naturals" may have a problem with the fact that the line is not 100% natural ingredients. But whatever works in your hair, and this works in my hair. Mixed Chicks also have a kids and men's line. I also suggest you check out the videos I posted one featuring Wendi and one featuring Kim. I would recommend this line no questions.  I am also posting some additional photos below!

How To: Mixed Chicks Make Coarse Curls Frizz Free

How To: Mixed Chicks Define and Defrizz Your Curls

Kinky Curly Curling Custard

So many of you know that my addiction other then caffeine is youtube. While on youtube I seen this product from a brand called Kinky Curly. It was for their Curling Custard. I wanted something that would help my hair retain it's moisture which will help to define my curls. The product reviews that I seen on youtube for the line were all really good, so I decided I was going to have to try it.

Claims: According to the kinky-curly site, the curling custard was to elongate curls, giving your hair shine, moisture and curl definition. It claims to reduces bulk, remove frizz, give weight to your hair without feeling greasy, cruching or drying.

Results: I ordered the smaller of the two sizes, just because I didnt want a lot left over if I didnt like it. If you order it directly from the website the 8 oz. was $17. I was excited when it came and I went right away and washed my hair and began using this product. On the back of the jar it gives two different ways to use the product depending on your curl, but says for best results to use on soaking wet hair in sections. I also ordered a widetooth and a demi brush. I did as instructed too and used on soaking wet hair in sections. It was $17 well spent. I loooved this product. For it to be a styling gel, I didnt get the hardness, cruchy feel. It wasnt greasy at all. You dont have to use a lot, a little goes a long way! It has a great smell to it. My curls were defined. I can honestly say it did what it claimed to do. The only hang up I had with this product, and it could honestly be my hair type, the curl definition didnt last too long. I mean once my hair dried. I havent tried it since my hair has grown out. So I will have to do that! Other then that, I have NO complaints about this line, I love it like I said. Once the product is in your hair, you cant touch it, this helps reduce frizz. The ingredients are all natural, I know a lot of naturals look for that. I recommend this product all the time. They even have a children's line. I am currently all out of this product, but will be ordering more soon. I also intend to try the Knot Today, which is the conditioner. I am very happy I found this product. This is my own personal result from using this product. I am in no way connected or affliated with Kiny-curly. I have included links back to the site, so products can be purchased directly from them.
