The Battle of the Hair Butters



Now I know I should have had a blog post up already but I have been a little busy trying out new products and I have some personal things to sort out too.

Lets focus on what I have been using lately. Trying different products can be so exciting, so I thought let me try out these hair products I have bought myself recently. Before anything I have been on the hunt for these products since these brands are usually sold in America, I was pleased to find them on some UK websites. I was so excited to do a battle between the hair butter creams that I had purchased from Antidote Street and Beauty by Zara. Do not worry guys they have been linked down below so you can check them out. Before I start I have a combination of type 4 A, B and C but mostly 4B hair. And I have medium brown hair.

I bought the Curls blueberry bliss Twist 'n' shout cream from Antidote Street on sale for £11.59 (originally £14.49) and bought two Camille Rose Naturals products from Beauty by Zara which are the Style Setter £14.99 and the Almond Jai twisting butter £18.99.



I have created a video to give you my thoughts on the products I have tried for this style out I did to my hair. My hair was so soft and I did this on a Wednesday and took it out the next day,  for the rest of the week my hair was up in a bun. This style lasted me for 5 days before I did a braid out, however the curls were still popping and my hair was so soft. I could off kept the style in for 6 to 7 days but I get bored easily. My mum even said my hair smells lovely.  I also have a few photos to share with you guys, so I hope you guys enjoy. And feel free to comment below. Do not worry this is not sponsored.




Camille Rose Naturals Style Setter: One word. Wow! I was not expecting such great curl definition especially since I used it on dry hair. It does say it works well on wet or damp hair but I really wanted to try it out on dry hair. Glad I did. This cream is a lot more dense and the coconut smell is not overpowering. I was a little sceptical before opening it as I thought the smell would be unbearable as it has a coconut scent in the product. But I was wrong. I had to use a bit more product as the hair was dry, however there is a lot of product in the tub. If you love coconut scented hair products then you will love this. You can also use this for wash n go's and other style outs too. Links are down below.



Curls Blueberry Bliss Twist N Shout cream: This cream was really nice to use which made it quite difficult for me to decide which one I preferred more. It smells great, like a mixture of blueberry and raspberry. One thing I love is the consistency it was more creamy than the others. The ingredients are great as well, blueberry being a antioxidant is very good for the hair growth and for the skin too. The only thing about the product is you have to make sure the hair is completely dry because it will get frizzy. I think I manipulated the hair a little too much because the side I used this on it frizzed up a bit. I also used this on a braid out and it not only elongated my hair but the curl definition was amazing, I actually prefer this on braid outs than twist outs. Other than that I think its definitely worth a try.





Camille Rose Naturals Almond Jai twisting butter: I can still remember the smell, it smells like butter cream cupcakes. Yummy! No you cannot eat this product, but at least my hair smells amazing with all these products. Especially this one. I think this hair cream product was one of my favourites. You will see that I had a few Bantu knot outs because I did not have enough perm rods unfortunately. However, the style out still came out perfectly. I really loved this product on the side I used it on. The consistency is a little dense but creamy too, I had the pleasure to use this in my hair. My only criticism is the price for the hair butter, other than that it is a great hair cream to do style outs. Only used a pea size for each twist, meaning that the product will last a while.

Guys!!! To slick down my edges I used the Creme of Nature edge Control Moroccan Argan oil. Most of the time I use the Passion fruit control paste by Curls but I wanted to switch it up.
