I love trying out new hair products, so, yes, I guess you could call me a “product junkie”. I recently got the chance to try a couple products from the line Wonder Curl, I was sent their Get Set Hair Jelly and their Butter Than Love Hair Pudding.

I first tried these products on our flat twist with a flower twisted bun style. I applied the Get Set Jelly to each section before I twisted it. It turned out to have a great hold, the scent is floral-y, I suppose, however I am not too keen on some of the ingredients that are on the list, such as EDTA and the artificial fragrance. (See a list of hair/skin care product ingredients to avoid).
I used the Butter Than Love Pudding for the twisted rose bun. This product does have the texture of pudding, the scent is extremely strong and I do not enjoy it at all. However, I did read on their website they now make this with a softer scent, and it is also available in unscented, which I would recommend.
See how I did this twisted rose bun style
I was really hoping for a great twist out, but we didn’t really get a good one at all:
I have not experimented further with the Get Set Jelly, I would like to use it for a wash n go, I will keep you posted on that. I did use the Butter Than Love Pudding for a wash n go, this is what we got:
It did leave her hair soft, it wasn’t stiff or crunchy but it didn’t really have a whole lot of definition. I do plan experiment more with these products, but I have to say that I do feel as though there are much better products out there for us, that is not to say that these products won’t work for you and your hair, this has just been our experience with them.
