Not Just a Pretty Face

Here's what I've learned:  1)  Despite what she may want you to believe, I’ve never met a beautiful woman who wasn’t extremely intelligent as well.  The universe simply wouldn’t give her all that power without the smarts to know how to use it.  2)  There is no such thing as a dumb blond.  Blonds may even be brighter than the general population.  In fact, I believe there's an alternate universe where they reign supreme ... if it isn't this one.  That’s what I think.

*Product Review:  Kinky-Curly Spiral Spritz

My Whole Foods just started carrying the Kinky-Curly line.  I’ve been eyeing it for a while, but since I didn’t have to pay for shipping and handling (and it was in front of my face) I decided to give the Spiral Spritz a go.  Now, I realize that everyone who loves this line swears by the Curling Custard, but I don’t care for it. It flakes up something fierce in the mass quantities I require.  However, the spritz is a different story.  I will preface this by saying that I haven’t used it as an initial styler, though.  For whatever reason, I only use it to refresh and redefine “next day” hair.  Well ... maybe I shouldn’t say “refresh”, as you can’t really spray it on.  Its consistency is pretty thick, like a juicy gel, so it comes out of the bottle in a stream.  So, I squirt it on my fingertips and slick it on any wayward, frizzed-out curls.  It brings them back to life and leaves them with a smooth, glossy finish.  Usually, any kind of refreshing product is either so watery that it leaves my hair frizzy, or is something that needs to be used in conjunction with water.  I like the fact that I can apply this right on dry hair, and don’t have to use any water to make this product work.  It’s quick and simple.  Side Note:  Wouldn’t it be nice if I could just spritz a little spray on my funky bed-head, sexily bend over, toss my long luxurious locks back-and-forth for exactly 6 seconds, and stand up to a do that would make Keri Russell wanna weep with envy?  Yeah, right.  Not so much.  Despite product descriptions and empty promises, I don’t expect that much from ANY beauty buy.  Back on course ... I think the value is pretty good, especially since it does double duty as an adult and kidlet styling tool.   Of course, everything is priced up at Whole Foods, but you can buy 8 oz. for $12 at Curlmart.   The fragrance is not my favorite (kinda lavendery), but it fades super quick.  I do use it as an initial styler for my daughter, who has much finer, silkier, looser curls than I.  On her, it’s just the light amount of definition and hold she requires.  One day I’ll get bold and try it on my freshly washed locks, but until then, it’s a handy (completely natural) touch-up tool for those annoyingly errant strands … 4 Stars.
