My girl Scarlett is back with some new products in the Wonder Curl line and I couldn’t wait to try them! I’ve reviewed and done giveaways on her Wonder Curl Get Set Hair Jelly here on the blog, and so I was excited when she told me that she was coming out with another product call Butter Than Love. It comes in two formulations: pudding and whipped. Here, I’ll review both:

Wonder Curl Butter than Love Whipped
Although some of the ingredients aren’t 100% natural, the product does not contain any sulfates, parabens, cones, mineral oil, or petrolatum. I also know for a fact that Scarlett makes this product in her kitchen, where I’m sure she wouldn’t be handling any harmful chemicals!

This product is thick and rich and emollient. I like using thicker products on freshly washed damp hair because I think they lock in the moisture better because since they have less water in them, there’s less to evaporate. (I would say that I have 4a/4b hair with 4c back in my “kitchen”.) I damp twisted my hair with this product and added a dab of [WonderCurl Get Set Hair Jelly] to about 11 medium-large sized twists (because it was really humid and rainy out) and let them air dry. In the morning, I untwisted and fluffed and got these fab results!

Wonder Curl Butter than Love Pudding
Now this product is a little thinner, has less chemicals and reminds me of the consistency of thick conditioner. I used this mid-week last week when my twist out was in need of a little TLC, and my hair felt a little dry. I spritzed each section with a little Oyin Handmade and slicked each section with Love Pudding before twisting. This product alone, doesn’t seem to provide much hold, so again I paired it with WonderCurl Get Set Hair Jelly, and twisted up 10 or 11 sections.
The results were soft moisturized hair that extended my twist out a few more days before wash day. I also like smoothing this product on my edges before I put a scarf on to smooth out my up dos.

I have both hands raised as I check out my hair in the mirror after using Wonder Curl!  It has taken me a minute to write up this review but I wanted to use the products a few different ways before I documented my experience. …

Consistency – It has a creamy consistency, not too thick, not too watery.  It’s just right!  I sound like Goldilocks!  It looks like some type of whipped icing.  When you rub the product between your fingers, it dissolves into a more oil like form.  You definitely do not need much which I learned after my first application.  The creamy consistency makes for easy application.   I initially used it on freshly shampooed wash and go hair.  The picture is after several days of being out in the elements and leaving it to stray about at night with nothing but a satin bonnet (HUGE MISTAKE) so it does look a little parched but it did not look like this initially.  I apologize for not having fresh photos.

Glow: The pudding made my hair soooooo soft! I literally couldn’t stop touching it. I also love the fact that it lives up to what claims, which is that it doesn’t weigh your hair down. I’ve tried other products that were too heavy and created a buildup so it’s refreshing to find something that keeps my hair feeling light and bouncy yet still moisturizes.

Glare: None other than my raggedy ends which are the rubber bands fault lol.

Would I Recommend It? Yes! It actually states that it’s designed to work well with Wonder Curls Get Set Hair Jelly for added curl definition. I plan to use them both together as a wash and go next time. I’ll update you all on how that works out for me )

Overall Glam: The Butter Than Love Pudding is a great product. It has a honeysuckle scent that’s really soft and not overwhelming. Wonder Curl’s products are packed with great ingredients that are sure to keep your hair healthy, manageable and beautiful! Definitely a winning combination in my book )

My Thoughts: I Love Love Love it!! I wish I was sent the full sized products, because it definitely needs to be added to my stash lol! No worries though I’ll be purchasing them very soon. On to the review…
I started off applying the Hair Smoothie to clean wet (not dripping wet) hair in small sections starting from the back. The first thing I noticed about it has a creamy consistency and it’s not too thick, which makes easier to distribute through the hair. I expected it to be very oily being that castor oil and coconut oil being #2 and #3 on the ingredient list, but it wasn’t oily at all. I then detangled, which I do before braiding each braid to prevent a frizzy and tangled braid out, and applied the Hair Jelly. It looks and feels like most gels, but without the sticky residue feeling afterwards. And just like to Hair Smoothie it had a clean fresh scent, nothing to overly fragrant. I was anxious to see how it would turn out once it dried. I’ve read some reviews in the past that said because of the witch hazel in the jelly it may cause the hair to feel dry. …
Soft. Defined. Shine.
My hair felt great! I was expecting it to be a little stiff but it wasn’t…at all! I hardly ever use gels on my hair for braid outs. I only use them for wash and go’s and to slick my hair into a low ponytail and I rarely wear those styles. But I’m really digging this Jelly/Smoothie combo!!
I’m currently rocking 3rd day hair thanks to Wonder Curl and it still looks good….What ya’ll think??

Glow: It’s not crunchy and it doesn’t flake! I know we tend to associate most gel based products with leaving your hair dry and crunchy but the Get Set Hair Jelly actually left my hair looking moisturized, it was soft & touchable and it didn’t feel weighted down at all.  Another thing I like about this product is that it comes in three different variations of sizes. I used the 2oz jar which is the smallest size and it retails for only $5. Initially I was a little apprehensive about whether or not 2oz would be enough for all of my hair. But to my surprise it was, and I have a pretty good amount of hair.

Glare: I can’t really call it a glare because my issue really has nothing to do with this product. I’ve mentioned it before but I have really soft hair which makes it difficult to achieve great next day hair. I’ve tried sleeping in a bonnet but that only mushes and flattens my curls. I’ve read suggestions about twisting your curls into sections before bed each night but….I’m a low maintenance kinda girl and trust me when I say that I don’t have the patience for that. Everyone is different but I’ve just found it easier for me to do a wash & go in the mornings and be done with it. Next day hair is another reason why I alternate from curly to straight a lot because obviously I don’t want to reset my hair with product ever single day.

Would I Recommend It? YES! I could really see myself using this as a staple product throughout the summer. If you’re not sure about buying the 16oz I’d definitely recommend trying the 2oz so you can get a feel of how it works for you.

Overall Glam: It’s a great product and it’s affordable! It worked well for my hair and I really like the results. I still have questions about my curl type, I really don’t know what type I am. My hair is generally more wavy at the roots and more coily and curly towards the ends. My hair tends to do its own thing so that varies too lol.
