HELP!!! Anyone try Kinky-Curly Shampoo or Knot-today??

[Mrs.TheBronx]

Thinking about buying today... my PJism is in full effect.. but I thought I should ask the wonderful women of LHCF before I made the purchase...

Has anyone tried Kinky-Curly Come Clean Moisturizing Shampoo or Kinky-Curly Knot Today??

How has it worked for you?

Are your curls more defined?

I already purchased the Kinky-Curly Curling Custard. By using the shampoo and knot today, make the experience with the Custard any better?

Please help...

I love Knot today. I will not buy the custard again. I have not tried the shampoo.

What didn't u like about the custard Princess??

I REALLY like the Knot Today. It smooths the cuticle of the hair and allows my hair to air dry nicely. I haven't gotten good results yet w/the custard. It made my hair shrink even more and was kind of drying IMO. I may give it another try though.

Thanks alot, have u tried the custard using the knot today as a combo. Asking because thats what they recommend for better results?
have u tried the shampoo yet? it looks good.

I like knot today...
I have the curly custard too... it's like gel...
my hair get's really hard but it's natural so I don't freak out water rinses the harness away...

 

[Mrs.TheBronx]

Here are the ingredients for the shampoo..

Ingredients: Purified water, organic mandarin orange fruit, organic marigold flower, organic white willow bark, organic sea kelp, c14-16 olefin, sulfonate and cocamidopropyl betaine (coconut derived), citric acid, sea salt, phenoxyethanol, natural fragrance.

Says:
Our exclusive blend of mandarin orange extract will gently clean your hair and scalp of dulling buildup while sea kelp will help maintain its proper moisture balance.

This sulfate-free shampoo is perfect for dry, damaged hair and is gentle enough for everyday use.

They look pretty good.. What do u all think???

Should I buy?

I have Dr. bronners peppermint shampoo but my hair feels tooo squeaky clean when i rinse it out.. almost like if I move it too much it will break off!!

Thanks southern tease.. I think i will think more about getting the knot today but still on the fence about the shampoo.....

 

[**SaSSy**]

When I was natural I used the combo together for about 3 months! I saw growth not due to the products it's self, but the fatc that I wasn't playing in my hair, not combing/brushing, and rinsing my hair every 2 to 3 days. I loove the way the custard smells, it's smells like tropical something . My only complain was it was kind of drying, and cause major shinkage. I use to appy it to freshly washed hair, keep my hair dripping and then apply the know today to detangle, then the custard like gel.

I suggest using the knot today first then another moisturizer to help with the dryness, and then the custard. And maybe after the custard dries a little add just a touch of oil.

[Mrs.TheBronx]

I have used KCC for about a year now, you have to be really careful, because too much will cause it to cake and flake.

I recently purchased the shampoo. It has not totally knocked my socks off, but I will give it a few more tries.

Thanks soo much!! I will keep that in mind when i use it. and anything for that matter.. less is more! right? LOL I hope I like that shampoo too.. the reviews said it was good, and the real reason I brought it was because I got 5 bucks off the final price with a coupon code I found online!!! I brought the products at www.curlmart.com
Instead of 30 it was 25! YaY!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[lovinmylocs]

I like the KCC a lot. I bought it when I was first natural (last year) and I didn't like it then. It was ok, but I couldn't figure out what the hype was about. I was on my own personal use it up challenge this year - my pjism was out of control - and ran out of my usual hair gel and fell in love with this. I use it like a hair gel and I like it for that purpose.

I also like Knot Today it's a great conditioner.

I have only used the custard over the Knot Today as directed and I still got sucky results. I think my hair just doesn't like the custard. I haven't tried the poo. I''m pretty picky about shampoos and stick w/what I know.

Yes I feel u on that, but the ingredents seemed really good thats why I just had to try it. Hopefully it works well.. Wish me luck!! I think i will try the products and for 2 strand twist and then roll it with magnetic rollers and see how it comes out.. Alot of people are saying that the custard gives major shrinkage so I will add the curlers to kinda str8en it out to see how it will fall after I take out the rollers.
What do u think?

 

[MekyakaKinkerbelle]

KCCC and Knot today were meant to work together. For ME, my hair sees a definite difference if I've used the Knot Today or not. I have found that I get softer, more touchable hair that is still defined when using the KT. KCCC alone (of it I use too much, literally a nickel to quarter size per section is all you need) will give me harder hair.

But I love that it is water soluble and you can just co-wash and not use shampoo with it.

Let us know how it works for you!

WOW!! thanks alot Kinkerbelle! That was a great tip! I cannot wait until the products arrive! And when used alone i can see how u say KCCC makes hair a lil stiff, but the KT is supposed to soften it up. So we will see how all 3 products work together.. with the rollers and after i am dry, I will add some coconut oil to it..

Do you get better results when you air dry or sit under the dryer with the KC products?!?!

Thanks girls!

 

[MekyakaKinkerbelle]

Best results for me is a combo - I blast my hair with the diffuser for about 10 minutes, then let the rest airdry. I get great results, and some assistance with hair that otherwise would not fully dry in one day.

 

[Sunshine_One]

rThese are 2 (KT and KCCC)of my favorites products. I've been using both on and off for a year now and I love them! I agree with the other posters that less is best with this product. I say apply it in layers and monitor you results with each use. This way you will discover what works best for your hair.

I use these products year round. I just purchased the shampoo and pomade over the summer. The shampoo is OK...I think it will more of a clarifier for my use. The pomade is great for second day and beyond it really lays down any frizz that developes.

Yes and thats my problem.. it takes a while to dry! So i brought a hand held hair dryer bonnet attachment that works wonders!! Maybe I can try that and then let the rest air dry! I hope that will work. I dont own a diffuser..

What are the benefits rather than sitting under a hair dryer?

thanks!!

Really!! NOW SUNSHINE, u are not gonna get me to buy the pomade!! LOL I am such a PJ! I need to stop! LOL
I haven't received my shampoo and the KT yet but i will still attempt to use my KCCC with the curlers and see how it turns out and i will only use a lil product.

I do have to say im a lil sad that people are not that excited about the shampoo.. The ingredients looked awesome.. I hope it works well for me.

Thanks!!!

Ok, I'm going to enable a lil .......you know they sell Kinky Curly products @ some Whole Foods stores. I picked up some last week here in DC @ the Georgetown Whole Foods.

In the interim you can use Elucence Moisture Balance, Giovonni Direct Leave-in, V05 Moisture Milks, or Suave (I like the Strawberry). I've used all of these under KCCC with great success.
