Taliah Waajid Curl Sealer Leave in Conditioner Review

It's Halloween, Halloween...and it's time for me pick some scary movies, make a cup of hot cocoa, and relax. I'm not in area where kids will knock on the door...so I didn't get to see any of the adorable costumes this year- but that's OK. 

Tallish Waajid claims:

Curl Sealer

• Light, alcohol free, and hydrating formula

• Helps to stop frizz and lock in moisture for defined curls

• Dries invisible for a flake-free shine

How to Use:

Apply after Clean-N-Curly™ shampoo. Use on wet hair to set in curls. Use on dry hair to revitalize curls. Avoid combing or fingering through hair for at least 10-15 minutes to help seal in curls and prevent frizz

I've used a few Taliah products...I can't say I'm a big fan. I hated the Curly Curl Cream but I did really like The Great Detangler and even bought a second bottle before I finished the first. I still have some in my cabinet to help with knots when they arise.  

I figured I should try more of the brand- I think it's black owned. And I know it's woman owned. 

First things first- the smell. I really dislike the scent in her products. It reminds mea fruity laundry detergent. Or a febrile scent.  I usually dislike detergent type scents in anything outside of laundry. I especially don't want it in my hair.

The texture of it is like a gel. You can use it to add definition or slick your hair back. I never slick my hair back so I can't tell you how well it works for that. I mostly just scrunch it through and shake my head around to try and define some curls. Some days it works- some days it doesn't. I think it worked better for me in warmer weather. Now that it's getting cooler, I don't see the definition like I got before. Also...it's heavy on Glycerin so because it doesn't have moisture to pull from the air like it does when the weather is warmer, it seems more drying in the winter. 

I do agree that it doesn't really build up. I don't get flakes...it doesn't sit oddly on top of a leave in I tried. But I didn't test it with more than one leave in. 

It does state on the packaging that it's for curly, kinky, wavy, and coily hair but when I looked it up they mainly show it being used on looser curls.

Overall, it's OK. Better than the Curly Curl Cream....but I wouldn't buy it again.
