Product Review | Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture

Hi Curlies!

I was chosen by NaturallyCurly.com to review some new products! These are by Madam CJ Walker's great great granddaughter! Madam CJ Walker was pioneer in hair care for black women in the 1910s. I was excited to try these out. As much as wanted to like all the products some were a hit and some were a miss for me.

Wonderful Pre-wash Protein Treatment

I applied this to my dry stretched hair in sections and then wore a plastic cap for 15 minutes like the instructions said.  It did not feel slippery on my dry hair; seemed to do nothing.

Pros:

Rinsed out well. Provided slip during rinsing out and softened my hair.

Cons:

Loud flowery perfume smell that did not fade.

Ultra Moisturizing Co-Wash

I applied this to my hair and scalp in sections.  Soaked into my hair.  No lather.  Lightweight creamy consistency.  Product did feel to give my hair slip yet I was able to de-tangle with ease using a shower comb.

Pros:

Lightweight. No lather.  Good slip for detangling.  Rinsed out well.  Hair was squeaky clean.

Cons:

Loud flowery perfume smell.

Wonderful Deep Conditioning Masque

I applied the Wonderful Deep Conditioning Masque to my hair after rinsing the co-wash.  I applied it in sections.  Soaked in my hair quickly; no white residue.  Provided slip so that I could finger comb it through my hair.  It rinsed out well and I had defined curls after wards.

Pros:

Good slip. Soaked in my hair fast. Rinsed out well.  Soft defined curls.

Cons:

Loud flowery perfume smell.

Ultra Moisturizing Detangler

I applied this out of the shower in sections.  Provided no slip at all; did nothing for my hair.  I kept thinking, “what is this supposed to do?”

Pros:
none

Cons:
No slip. Loud flowery perfume smell.

Defining Butter Creme

I applied this to my hair in sections and then did large two-strand twists.  This creme provided slip; I could finger comb before twisting.  However, my twists were crunchy feeling. After untwisting my hair it was well defined and soft.

Pros:
Provided slip. Shine inducing.

Cons:
Crunchy hair.  Loud flowery perfume smell.

Scent and Shine Coconut Oil

I applied this to my hands while taking down my twists.  It has semi-sticky feel; I washed my hands after taking down my twists.

Pros:
Lightweight

Cons:
Semi-sticky feel. Flowery perfume smell.

Edge Control and Shape Paste

I applied this to my edges after twisting my hair and secure with bobby pins then tied with a silk scarf.  I left my hair soft and smooth.  Shine was okay.

Pros:
Lightweight. Non-sticky. Hold without crunch.

Cons:
Flowery perfume smell.
