Here is my official review of the Cecred line: I bought the clarifying shampoo, the hydrating shampoo, the reconstructing treatment mask, the moisturizing deep conditioner, and the moisture-sealing lotion. Two of my kids and I tried them and here are our reviews:
Kid 1 has 3c hair, and lo-po & thick hair, and he hated the entire line; I'm not sure if he used it correctly but he hated it, lol. For reference, he uses the Orange line of Curlsmith.
Kid 2 also has 3c hair but it's high-po with fine strands. On her, we used everything but the reconstructing treatment mask and her hair loved every product. As a reference, we use the purple line of Curlsmith.
I used everything on my hair and hated the deep conditioner; I felt that the conditioner was sitting on my hair, and it wasn't moisturizing at all; for the life of me, my hair couldn't absorb it.
The clarifying shampoo is what I believe to be the best product in the line; I didn't need a second round to clarify my & kid 2's hair. The microbeads melt and add a nice touch to the shampoo. It smells great and leaves the hair squeaky clean. This is the unicorn in the clarifying shampoo world since I couldn't find one that would be a wow factor and this has it. This for us is 12 out of 10 and we will buy it again.
The hydrating shampoo is also great - a little goes a long way; it's hydrating, and leaves your hair clean & still moisturized. Will definitely buy it again, and giving it a 10 out of 10.
I used the reconstructing treatment mask after taking out my mini-twists and here is where i messed up; I used it after using Olaplex 0 & 3 and that left a feeling of protein overload; I will need to try it again without Olaplex to get a true sense, lol. For that, I'm not rating it because I think it would be unfair.
The deep conditioner, like I said up above, did NOT work at all for me; however, it was the bomb on my kid 2's hair; it added so much slip, made it easier to detangle, and her hair was softer after using it. Since it's a similar price point as Curlsmith, I might get it again and use the Curlsmith conditioner as a rinse-out since it can be used as a deep-conditioner, a rinse-out or a leave-in. As for rating, for my hair it was a 0 out of 10 but a 10 out of 10 on my kid 2.
I LOVE the moisture-sealant lotion, it's light, it has a great slip, and I can see myself using it on my twists & cornrows as well as my freshly washed hair. This would be ideal for someone with fine hair, I have a hard time seeing how it could work on a coarser and denser hair. I would give it a 10 out 10 and will buy it again.
The line gets a solid 8 out of 10 for me because clearly the deep conditioner is not for all textures of hair.
