Review (5/5): Replacement for Beautiful Curls?
I’ll answer that in question after I explain my experience:
I have been using Alaffia products for 7 years. I started with the Everyday Coconut line and it was good, but when I saw Beautiful Curls I switched. I used the Curly to Kinky for almost 3 years and then switched to Wavy to Curly. Both were amazing and I loved both formulas. I was so disappointed when I found out Alaffia discontinued the Beautiful Curls line and went directly to Alaffia to ask what to use instead. They told me Repair & Restore is the replacement. Based on reviews I was apprehensive, to say the least.
So is Repair & Restore a replacement? Laterally, definitely NOT! Based on my experience with Beautiful Curls I can honestly say that for some, Repair & Restore is going to be WAY too conditioning and may weigh down their hair, BUT that is if you use every product in the line at the same time, as they direct on the bottle.
I have found this shampoo to be AMAZING!! I wash my hair every other day and do not use the conditioner. If I were to use it I would once a week or every other week as I see it more as a mask than an every time after washing conditioner.
As for the smell, I don’t have any complaints. It smells as I expected because it’s Alaffia and not a phoofy perfumed chemical shampoo. I appreciate that.
Thanks Alaffia!!! Great product!!
Also, purchase from Whole Foods so technically still from Amazon.
