So, I’ve tried the Curly Pudding. What I really wanted from this product was the flexibility to wear my hair curly and out without having too much shrinkage or having uneven textures. Primarily, I wanted my hair to look styled.
My hair has two main textures: the front has loose curls and the back has tight curls. I wanted the back to be taken care of and not lose its health due to split ends and neglect. I was hoping that this pudding would be more about moisture and less about hold. So, what did I discover? Well, there were some good things and some bad things.
Good Things:
- Really stretched out curls
- Had great curl definition
- Smelled great
Bad Things:
- Took a long while to air dry
- When dry, was too crispy of a hold
- Left little purple pellets in my hair and flaked
- Felt like it was not moisturizing
- Parched my scalp
Overall, I think this product is good if you wash your hair everyday and want a gel-type product. I’m sure if I added some anti-frizz product to the mix, it wouldn’t flake as much. But if you’re like me, where you don’t wash your hair everyday, this may not be for you. When I left it in overnight, the flaking and drying got worse.
The next product that I’ve started to try is the SOMA Solace Anti-Frizz serum. I use it when I blow it straight and it keeps my ends from splitting and allows my natural oils to stay on my scalp – preventing it from flaking. Now that it’s curly, I’m wondering if it will give me enough support for maintaining my ends and scalp, while giving me a little bit of curl definition. I will be writing about that product soon.
