do your curls clump (or “klump”, as Mane Krush would say 🤗) better than my did when I applied? normally i get really good clumping from a good cream and I assumed a gel would only heighten that but it sorta separated and frizzed my hair when I applied. possibly the issue of having used a shampoo as a leave-in, but can’t know just yet
lol yea…. i mean. it makes sense. that foaming could not have been a leave-in idk why i convinced myself it was. I’m going to reach out to them right now before I never get around to it. probably a nice shampoo but I’m not doing this blindly for another 2 weeks. thanks for confirming!!
@@UptightCurlsbyAmanda yeah you are brave to take that leap of faith because would’ve gave up at the first sight of foaming because I hate it outside of a shampoo
Oh! haha you know, i didn’t even consider that possibility but that makes perfect sense! makes me nervous though… am i going to have a clay wash in my hair for a week? I’m going to have to watch this again. having used the products, any of them look familiar to you as being something else? I had a small amount of itching today. noticed I kept scratching my scalp throughout the day. maybe it was my cleaning my scalp with a leave-in 🤔 definitely going to reach out, thanks again so much 👍🏽
@@UptightCurlsbyAmanda i haven't finished the video but the Kurls on the rox leave-in is supposed to be white and its like a runny light weight consistency so that's definitely not it base on the one i have and the reviews i've seen
@@PUNKGIRLrock24 I just DM’d them, hoping they come back. Not going to wash my hair with these again until i understand what exactly is what. Thanks so much for following up on this! I’m a bit worried about keeping a shampoo in my hair, I’ve asked them if i should wash it again (although there is no way I’ll have time), so will see what they say
I did not! Haha possibly against my better judgement, but possibly not 🤔 That being said, my hair did dry out more than I was comfortable with, so I refreshed and re-twisted my hair (over 2 days just while I was working. Didn’t have time for a dedicated session). I used the unikorn curls and my hair feels great today. My scalp also wasn’t irritated this week which is a real surprise. I’m truly perplexed, and very annoyed because the company did not get back to me yet. Definitely not sure what to do today and I don’t really have time to strategize. I may use the “leave-in” to shampoo today, not being 100% certain what it is, then I’ll use the item labeled shampoo as leave-in… Between my job and kids and my content and other life things, there’s unfortunately no bandwidth to wash my hair mid-week so sorta had to make due. Lucky my hair doesn’t seem harmed 🤷🏽♀️ 🤞🏽
@@UptightCurlsbyAmanda I totally understand being thrown off when products don't perform as well as I hope. I look forward to seeing week 2 of your series. Also MK customer service takes a while..it took them several days to get back to my sister.
I was thinking about trying them but I think ill pass. My sister tried the kurl tini product. She liked it but it had a bluish hue to it. When she asked why it was bluish the owner said it was due to Mica powder which isn't on the ingredient list. I personally don't like when companies don't put all ingredients on the package. Plus I dont like products that have dyes added. I looked up mica for the most part it looks safe but you never know with dyes. Also what else are they leaving out of the ingredients list.
by law they have to put all ingredients on the products themselves, but not the website (THAT, is insane and incredibly unfair to the consumers). the brand Pretti phizzies (or something like that) pulled a fast one on someone. left out those two nasty carcinogenic preservatives on their website, but when she got her products they were both listed on all products and they wouldn’t take them back. I’m going to go take a look at my bottles right now I didn’t come across any dyes in their products but I’m going to take another look. thanks for the heads-up. apparently my products were also mislabeled so idk what I put in my hair this past week.
@@UptightCurlsbyAmanda yep they are supposed to but unfortunately some don't. Like when I don't see a preservative on a product and that product has water. I have contacted said company which was Avocurl to ask which preservative they used and I haven't heard back. And regarding MK they may be going thru some growing pains. They sent my sister an entirely different order than she actually ordered. There were atleast 6 products for a different customer which had the customer name and address. Of course MK sent my sister her correct order latwr but still, that is alot of wasted product.
@@dimensionsbygina oh wow… you can’t just go around giving out people’s name and address. Of course that was a mistake on their part but you really can’t make those sorta mistakes. My order can 2 products in a first shipment then almost 3 months later and a few emails I got my second shipment with the remainder. This was back in July/September time frame so I guess things are still in progress. In the end, I feel for a small business trying to grow and wouldn’t hold some of these small things against them s long s the customer service made up for it. But mislabeling ingredients and sending wrong customer information is definitely serious and they have to move quickly to implement the proper controls.
@@dimensionsbygina just took a look at the Kurt-tini and thank you for bringing this to my attention - I’m familiar with all of these ingredients and none of them would cause this blue tint. I appreciate confirming the preservative on the bottle but this combination of ingredients does not turn a product blue so you’re right, something is missing (think you said Mika? That has to go on the product
Hmmm that leave in was super strange. I've had leave ins foam on me but that one was a lot! I'm curious to see how your definition lasts throughout the week. Also my last wash day I used gloves and it was a lot easier to detangle my hair with them I don't know if that's a thing but I was also able to use less product because it would go into my hair and not into my skin.
haha yes! the detangling is one of my 3 reasons for wearing gloves 🤗 I’m so glad it worked out for you!! did you get the same gloves I use? they’ve been great with slip for me but I unfortunately have to change them at least twice per wash day. they start to stiffen with too much water and product. still on the hunt for the perfect surgical gloves but these are so far better than any others i’ve tried. someone suggested they mislabeled the products and maybe that was the klay wash! she might be right I’m going to reach out to the company and ask. yea… that foam was ridiculous. and yea, you should say something in the directions if that’s what you’re gonna get
I get that. my hair does feel great so far this week but I didn’t get the excitement with each of the products during the process. Someone is suggesting they mislabeled the leave-in and shampoo and I think she might be onto something… haha that would be interesting
@@melleciosa yea… I’m not sympathetic but that definitely means better controls are in place. I’m lucky this was a gentle shanmpoo because I literally washed my hair with a leave-in and leave-in’d my hair with a shampoo. My hair was really dry yesterday so i actually went against my whole hard-set rule to never “re-up” midweek and put in some more of the unikorn kurls. I suspect it’s from the shampoo that will belong my hair for a week. I reached out yesterday and no one has followed up yet so I’m not sure what to do about wash day this week but I’ve got a schedule it’s not like I can just pivot!
I really like this brand. I use the kurl tini for my wash n gos.

Nice review 😀
Thanks Julie 🤗
Now that i finish it you definitely put the Kurly Temple shampoo in as a leave-in

@@UptightCurlsbyAmanda yeah you are brave to take that leap of faith because would’ve gave up at the first sight of foaming because I hate it outside of a shampoo
Your clay wash and leave in looked like the labels were reversed. I would check with the company. I love Mane Krush, it's one of my favorite brands.
Oh! haha you know, i didn’t even consider that possibility but that makes perfect sense!
makes me nervous though… am i going to have a clay wash in my hair for a week? I’m going to have to watch this again. having used the products, any of them look familiar to you as being something else?

had to run outside to chase some geese off my property this evening and it was misty and drizzly so idk about my hair this week..
