Mizani Curly Hair Products

Mizani just released the NEW True Textures collection, a curly hair care system designed to enhance natural curls with advanced technology—adds moisture, controls frizz and defines curl. The PJ in me wants to try it out… so I may check to see if my local Ulta or JCP has it in stock when I get paid. More details are listed below.

“Mizani True Textures Curl Balance Sulfate-Free Shampoo: This gentle, color-safe cream shampoo is formulated to cleanse while keeping natural curls fully moisturized, bouncy and healthy-looking. Lightweight, sulfate-free formula rinses clean while retaining and restoring moisture to detangle and soften curls.

True Textures Cleansing Cream Conditioning Curl Wash: Designed for frequent use, this creamy, low-lather sulfate-free cleanser gently refreshes hair and scalp with a mild foaming action while adding extra conditioning to soften and revitalize curls in between shampoos and deep conditioning treatments. This one-step product combines mild cleansing, detangling and moisture in one.

True Textures Curl Replenish Intense Moisturizing Mask: This ultra-rich, deep penetrating treatment quickly absorbs into strands to revitalize and infuse hair with intense moisture. Perfect for dry, brittle hair, this formula includes essential nutrients to enhance shine, and definition for improved manageability and curl elasticity. Use as an express conditioner or as a weekly intense conditioning treatment.

True Textures Perfect Curl Defining Cream Gel: Designed for loose curls and waves, this lightweight crème-gel re-energizes natural spirals without build-up. Frizz-taming formula boosts natural “lift” to give lasting curl support, memory and control with a satiny finish. Combining the moisture of a styling cream and control of a gel, this product enhances manageability and separation to refresh curls.

True Textures Moisture Stretch Curl Extending Cream: Designed for coiled to extremely tight styles, this moisturizing, curl-smoothing cream helps to loosen and elongate tight, unruly coils without weight or residue. Defines highly textured strands by reducing frizz and shrinkage and revealing flexible, individualized spirals with a clean, touchable finish. Perfect for curl set and finger twist techniques.”

Ok, I finally tried the Curly Nikki hairstyle. It’s not hard at all… You just section your hair, twist, and use rollers, rods, or flexis to curl your hair. I didn’t like my results at all. Again, my relaxed ends were not playing well and just looked thin compared to the rest of my hair. I’m convinced that the only curly hairstyle that works for me while I’m transitioning is a flat twistout. Anyway, when wearing it out didn’t look like it was working… I went ahead and pulled it into a ponytail, added a headband, and went out the door. Pictures are below…

John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum

Name: John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Extra Strength Formula

Price: $9.99

Rating: 4 out of 5

Product Promise: Instantly transforms the appearance of frizzy, coarse, processed hair. Repels moisture which helps prevent hair from frizzing in damp weather.

The Review: I don’t have too many negative things to say about this serum, I actually like it. I used it a long time ago when my hair was severely damaged. It helped to camouflage my split ends (back when I held on to those damaged ends for dear life) and it put a temporary stop to further damage. It’s also one of the best anti-frizz hair products I’ve ever used. The only thing I recommend is not to overdo it – start with a small amount and work up, or it will be greasy. The only real downside to this product is that it didn’t work as promised in humid weather for me.

Ingredients: Cyclomethicone, Dimethiconol, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate (Sunscreen), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Aloe Barbadensis Extract (Aloe Vera).

A Bantu Knot Out is a quick and no fuss transition hairstyle. I’ve made several attempts to do them with my hair but they never come out right. I think the issue for me is that my hair was relaxed bone straight in the past… so the relaxed ends just look very thin as with most styles that I do on wet hair. Below are instructions and a quick video demonstrating how to do a bantu knot.


How To Do A Bantu Knot Out

1. Use a comb to separate your hair into a small section. This section can be in the shape of a square, diamond, triangle,or even a circle if you have a lot of time on your hands. Make sure it is tangle free.

2. Twist this section in one direction until you can twist not more.

3. Wrap the hair around the base at the scalp repeatedly until you can wrap no more.

4. Tuck the end of the hair UNDER the knot itself.

5. Repeat Steps 1-4.
