The Curl Company Review
I’m still learning about what products best suit my hair and I love trying out new ones. Which is why I was delighted when the The Curl Company asked me to do a review.
Over a year on the journey of recovering my curls I am still learning so much about my hair. I know now the basics and have perfected my technique for applying products and getting my hair dried without turning it into a frizzy mess.
To be honest I was a little overwhelmed when I opened the package and saw such a variety of products to try. I have learnt my lesson in the past, and I know not to go overboard when trying new products.
As it can become difficult to tell which work and which don’t if you try too many in one go.
Wash day
So I kept my wash day simple and chose to co-wash with the Sulphate free conditioner £5.99. Taking my time to really squish to condish.
It smelt lovely, a little like parma violets and made detangling my hair easy. It created had lovely slippery clumps, so I suspected this would be a good wash day.
After, I rinsed it all out and squeezed some excess water out before applying the Defining Leave in conditioner £6.99 which also had the same beautiful scent. I only used about a teaspoonful as I didn’t know how heavy it would be in my hair.
Next time I’ll probably use a little more as my hair is so thirsty in the winter and this didn’t weigh my hair down.
Finally using praying hands I smoothed over the Shape and define styling creme gel £6.99. It felt quite sticky when applying it, but once dry none of that feeling was left.
Then I diffused and root clipped. Leaving it to air dry fully.
When it was fully dry. I just took the clips out and fluffed. No need to Scrunch out the crunch as there is no crunch with the creme gel.
I must admit I am pretty blown away with the results. Sometime I have to compromise on definition verses volume. Personally I will always go for volume. But as you can see from the back view, I got a great combination of both. Yet it feels so light.
My Day two faired well too. This is straight out of the pineapple and fluffed. A little less definition but still a fab hair day in my books.
Day three and this wash and styling line up my just be my new best friend. No tangles, still smells delicious and feels thick, bouncy and lightweight.
Not yet tried and tested
I didn’t include the curl lotion £7.99 in my line up as I didn’t want to overload my hair. But I am looking forward to trying it out, as it says it’s perfect for waves and looser curls.
Hopefully this will be good at keeping my top layer of frizz a bit tamer. Keep an eye on my instagram feed for an update on how I got on with the lotion.
You may think I have lots of hair from my pictures, but after having kids it’s a lot thinner than it was. So this BAMbeautiful Scalp tonic £20.95 may be just the thing to get my denser thicker looking hair back.
It can take three months to see a difference. So I’ll start now and keep you updated on instagram and youtube with a progress video.

Locks in Goodness review
well usually just bunging it up in a clip but at least i could make my tresses more luscious with these! x
I probably spend 90% of the time with my hair up too.
My wife spends hours dealing with her curls.I’m ok as I’m bald.
Sounds just like our house! I have enough hair for the both of us.
I usually let it dry naturally scrunching every so often
I wish I could leave mine to dry naturally but it takes so long. So I always end up diffusing
Usually tons of mousse and hair spray to try and hold the curl but it always ends up frizzy!
Do you follow the curly girl method?
If I want it to be very curly I add some mousse and dry it with a hairdryer upside down, scrunching it with my hand. Otherwise I let it dry naturally and then it’s very wavy with some curls.
I really do need to give mousse a go.
I always use coconut oil and my fingers to detangle my hair when it’s dry. I typically shampoo my hair once a week, with one or two co-washes throughout the week, depending on my hair’s moisture and frizziness.
I love coconut oil but have to be very careful with it as I only need a little before it gets weighed down.
I let my hair dry naturally then put a few curlers in to give it a soft wave! xx
My hair is so difficult – I wash it then only dry my fringe and leave the rest. I put serum on to tame it. Some days it will curl just right and some days it looks like I have been to a rave. I am always on the look out for products that do what they say they will do.
My daughter has curly hair and it is a nightmare to control when her hair is damp. I would love to win this set for her as she needs all the help she can get
My hair is kinky rather than curly. When freshly washed it’s really wavy / kinky & even has ringlets! It’s gotten kinkier as I’ve gotten older. Your hair is beautifully curly.
Thank you so much
I leave my conditioner in for half an hour and let my hair dry naturally, adding serum xx
Letting it dry naturally, makes it less frizzy and not as dry
plenty conditioner
I put on curl enhance cream , scrunch and leave
I just use my tongs to sort my hair out with
wash and condition with sulphate free goods, air dry, comb through nourishing oils…
Wash, dry, try to style, sleep and repeat
Ooh, this looks great, would love to try this, thanks for sharing all the info
This would be for my grandaughter, I have short hair on chance of curling
At the moment my curls are lucky if they get a but of mousse after my shower. I dont really have time after having my baby
Thank you for such a generous giveaway – here’s hoping! I’m currently using Almond Crush conditioner and ORS smoothie …but would love to try these – they look fab x
The curl cream is my everyday product for taming and reviving my unruly curls. I’ve been using it for a few months now and love it. I’d love to try the other products – I hadn’t realised that there were more in the range.
lovely
I do not have curly hair but my sister does, she spends forever drying it!
I would love to win for my mum x
Love to win x
I apply mousse or curl cream after shampooing, finger curl my hair & dry my hair with a diffuser drier & with my head tipped down to dry my hair roots first
I have a brush that heats up, when my daughters hair is dry we use this brush not to straighten it BUT it does take out a lot of the fizz
The only thing i use is a curl spray and have a weekly hair mask
I only shampoo once a week – but, I do use wash off conditioner daily, which keeps my hair clean and smelling good. This routine suits, because the conditioner keeps my curls from stressing and becoming uptight – literally!
I use soft rollers and a styling wand.
I spray my hair with a curl booster after washing and then let it dry naturally
wash it and then diffuse it dry
I use lots of leave in conditioner in my hair, blow dry gently for about five minutes whilst scrunching the hair and then leave it to dry naurally!
My granddaughter has wild curly hair and her mum used conditioner to wash her hair and let’s it dry naturally
Wash, scrunch and leave it to dry naturally
Use a hair brush to help me twist my hair to help make it curly for a while in till it is curly.
My routine is to wash every 3 days and air dry. However I’m never sure if I’m doing the right thing for my curls
Shampoo, condition, hair mask, part dry, moouse, finish dry, serum and hair spray to finish
Would love to try this on my crazy hair
I wash my hair and then smooth through some THEsemme volumising cream, then I comb this through with a wide toothed combed, scrunch my hair and then leave it to dry naturally.
Lashings of good quality specialist conditioner and a wide toothed comb.
I don’t have curly hair but my teenage son has naturally curly locks! He is growing his hair and although it’s fab it is a bit wild! On the lookout for some good products for him
Straitening serum and straitners
My curly hair routine is small Velcro rollers, a bit fiddly.
Wow your hair is fab!! Utter #hairgoals!!
I use alot of hair masks thinking my hair would look even half as good as yours!! (It never does)
Curl jelly my umberto Gianni is good I’ve found, cant get on with other gels, ends up a sticky mess haha
Still mastering my curly girl method I think x
Any help I get would be great haha x
My hair is naturally extremely curly and prone to frizz! Mousse has been my saviour, along with a diffuser attachment on a hairdryer!
It’s really basic. I wash, condition and apply product. I then micro-fibre towel wrap my hair for 10 mins, then let it air dry.
I’m trying to win this for my girlfriend who mostly washes, conditions & leaves to dry naturally but she would really love to try some specialist curly hair products to enhance & tame her ringlets and frizz.
