Noughty Hair Care Review on Fine, Curly Hair

by Rochelle October 27, 2021

Finding an affordable curly hair line can be challenging when we’re focusing on ingredients. Luckily, I discovered the brand Noughty Hair Care that has proven to be a great addition to my curl collection. So, today I thought I’d share my thoughts by doing a Noughty Hair Care review on my fine, curly hair.

Noughty Hair Care Review & Details

The Noughty Hair Care brand is 97% natural , cruelty free, and vegan friendly. Plus, their products do not contain parabens, petrochemicals, sulfates, or silicones. For this review and demo, I tried a selection of different lines from the brand that I thought would work well in my fine, curly hair.

After an Ulta Beauty haul, I purchased everything I needed for a wash n go. This included the Noughty:

  • Wave Hello Curl Defining Shampoo & Conditioner
  • Rescue Intense Moisture Treatment
  • Intensive Care Leave-In Conditioner
  • Wave Hello Curl Taming Cream
  • Hey Curl Scrunching Jelly

My ultimate goal was to find an affordable line that was made with cleaner ingredients. At $12.99 and under, it was easier to do a haul on a budget.

Cleansing and Conditioning with Noughty

Noughty Wave Hello Curl Defining Shampoo. This gentle shampoo cleanses the hair without drying it out, leaving the curls to feel soft and defined. It’s made with sea kelp extract, avocado oil, and chlorella extract that helps provide the hair with vitamins and amino acids to keep moisture in and smooth hair. Further, the scent and formula smells fresh to me. It states online that is has an invigorating ocean fresh scent if that helps you understand better.

Noughty Wave Hello Conditioner. This moisturizing conditioner contains avocado oil, sea fennel, and Irish moss. After use, I definitely felt that the lost moisture in my hair had been replenished and much stronger. Just like the shampoo, it has a lovely, light, ocean scent.

Noughty Rescue Intense Moisture Treatment. Although this mask is meant to help very dry and overly processed hair, my fairly-healthy curls enjoyed this. My hair is in pretty good condition but after adding highlights I did notice that I could use a really good treatment. What I love about this is that I can use it for less than 5 minutes and see wonderful results that help soften and really moisturize my hair. 

The benefits state that it will help to improve the structure of the hair’s surface, make it easy to comb and add shine. In addition, it contains lecithin, meadow foam oil, and argan oil to smooth, lock-in moisture, and help with elasticity. The fragrance has a warm almond scent.

Styling with Noughty

Noughty Intensive Care Leave In Conditioner. As I mentioned before, the Intensive Care line from Noughty is designed for damaged hair. This really made sense for me to use prior to cutting my hair short. To clarify, I waited 3 YEARS for a trim (insert face palm emoji). It’s a little on the heavier side so it may not be recommend to everyone with fine curls but possibly with smaller amounts.  

This leave-in contains vitamin E, argan oil, shea butter, and has a lovely argan and almond scent. If you find this to be too heavy on your curls, I’d opt for the Noughty Thirst Aid Conditioning & Detangling Spray.

Noughty Curl Taming Cream. This curl cream has a smooth and creamy texture that leaves curls feeling hydrated. It truly helped tame my frizz and keep the curl definition locked in place. It’s definitely been one of my favorite items from them so far.

As far as the key ingredients and benefits it contains QuinOxy (Noughty’s unique curl optimizing formula), a blend of wheat extract, camelia oil, and linoleic acids, and mango butter. I found this formula helped to soften, smooth flyaways, and moisturize my hair.

Noughty Hey Curl Scrunching Jelly. I’m a big fan of gels which is why this lightweight gel was one of my favorites. Although this option felt thick as it came out, it added major shine and definition without the hard crunch. It uses vitamin-rich sea botanicals blended with copolymers to give long lasting definition along with a blend of plant oils to help strengthen and reduce damage.

My Top Picks from Noughty Hair Care

Out of all of the Noughty Hair Care products I used, my top 3 are the Noughty Rescue Intense Moisture Treatment, the Noughty Wave Hello Curl Taming Cream, and the Noughty Hey Curl Scrunching Jelly. I can definitely see myself purchasing these again and adding them to my curl collection.

Hopefully this Noughty Hair Care review gave you a thorough understanding of how their products work on my fine, curly hair. Please let me know if you have tried this as well on your curls and what your favorite products are from them.

5 Ways to Protect Curly Hair from the Pool

by Rochelle July 16, 2021

Ready to hit the pool? Not so fast curl friends. Even though we are at the peak of summer, you may want to think twice before diving in. Your hair will need a little T.L.C. pre and post-swim so you may want to try these 5 ways to protect curly hair from the pool.

How to Protect Curly Hair from Chlorine

Chlorine is a chemical that is used to sanitize pool water to make it safe for swimming. While it does a great job cleaning the water it’s not ideal for hair. It drys and damages the hair, stripping it of its natural oils. In some cases, it can change the hair color.

Introducing the Curly Hair Product Tracker, a printable to document how each and every one of your products works on your curls.

Protecting the hair is key but it’s even more important with curls because our hair is already dry. Here are a few helpful options.

1. Swim Cap for Curls

If keeping your head below water is part of your pool time, then investing in a swimming cap should be on your list. The average cap fits the head well and keeps the water off the hair. However, newer versions create more space for curly hair and Locs. Check out this option from Amazon.

2. Rinse the Hair Before Entering

If you are not one for swim caps, consider rinsing your hair before jumping into the pool. By taking this tiny step, you are letting your hair absorb non-chlorinated water first which protects the hair.

3. Pre-Treat Curls with Oils

Using oil on curly hair before the dip is another form of protection. Oils seal and protect the hair from exposure to chlorine and the elements. My personal favorites to use are coconut, olive, and grapeseed oil.

After-Care Post Swim

4. Rinse Curls After Swimming

Yes, you heard that right. Not only is it a good idea to rinse your hair before entering the water but after as well. This is especially necessary if you don’t plan to shower immediately. Rinsing the curls post-swim will prevent the hair from further damage, drying out, and frizz.

5. Clarify and Condition

Removing chlorine and buildup from the hair after swimming is beyond important. Not all shampoos are effective at removing it all, so look out for ones that are gentle on curls like Ouidad’s Waterworks Clarifying Shampoo or Kinky-Curly Come Clean.

It’s even more crucial to use a deep conditioner to restore hydration in your curls. Opt for a moisture-rich formula like the SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Hair Masque.

With these 5 tips, pool day doesn’t have to be the end all be all for your curls. You can enjoy the summer stress-free knowing that your hair won’t be frizzy and dry after a swim. What are some of your favorite curly hair tips for the pool? Share with the community down below in the comments.

Wavy Braid Out Hairstyle

Mother’s Day Brunch Hairstyle on Fine, Curly Hair

by Rochelle May 6, 2021

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and it’s a wonderful reminder of how far I’ve come as the mother of 2 boys. They are a huge blessing and have brought me many memories. For this Mother’s Day, I’m looking forward to brunch and I wanted to create a cute braid out style to wear out. I recently cut my hair into a bob and wanted to share how I created an easy Mother’s Day brunch hairstyle on my fine, curly hair.

How to Create this Mother’s Day Brunch Hairstyle

For this braid out, I like to start on dry hair. Then, I begin by combing out my curls to make sure there are no tangles. Next, it’s important to establish how you would like your hair to fall. I chose a deep side part so I section the hair from the arch of my eyebrow to the back of my ear.

Then I take the back half of my hair and place it into a ponytail. With the front section, I add a small pump of my Jane Carter Solutions Wrap & Roll foam to it. Then, I smooth a small amount of Uncle Funky’s Daughter Curly Magic on that same section. This just ensures that there is plenty of hold.

Now it’s time to begin cornrows. The size of your sections will determine if you will have loose or tight waves. I chose to make mine smaller this time around. Cornrows use a similar technique to what some call Dutch braids but there tends to be more than one row of braids.

Braid Out Tips for Success

In a nutshell, you begin with a regular braid, then add new outside sections to your braid. You take one outside section, cross it under the middle section, and repeat on the opposite end. This process repeats until you can’t grab any more outside sections and finishes off with a regular braid

After completing the first row, the next step is to make another section and repeat the entire process. Once I’ve completed all of my cornrows, I add a perm rod to each end. This ensures that there’s a little bend on the ends when you take your braids down. Then, I wrap my hair in a silk or satin scarf and go to bed.

Styling the Braid Out

The next morning, I take down my scarf and smooth a little bit of oil on my hands. Then, I begin unraveling the braids. This helps my waves look super shiny for this style. After all the braids are taken down, I shake gently underneath to loosen up the pattern.

The end result is a chic, wavy bob that can be worn just like it is or with hair accessories. It’s the perfect easy hairstyle for all occasions that will be sure to turn heads. Let me know if you are feeling this hairstyle by sharing it down below in the comments.

3 Sustainable Beauty Brands to try this Earth Month

by Rochelle April 25, 2021

As Earth Month comes to an end, I thought I’d discuss 3 sustainable beauty brands to try. I got the idea after completing my spring cleaning and reorganizing my beauty products. Noticeably, the majority of my products packaging stated that they were sourced from recycled items. It’s a small phrase that got me thinking about how I can continue making more sustainable beauty purchases. Here’s a few of my faves.

Alaffia

Alaffia is a black-owned and founded hair and skin care company. Their efforts to give back to the earth include several projects such as the Reforestation Empowerment Project and Regenerative Agriculture Program. Outside of these efforts they focus on eco-friendly packaging. For instance, products such as the  Authentic African Black Soap and the Africa’s Secret Multi-Use Balm are made in packaging that is recyclable and 100% PCR PET. Further, they are sourced from local Washington vendors.

Alaffia Authentic African Black Soap
sustainable beauty brands

My go to skin care product from them is the Authentic African Black Soap. it’s an all-in-one that can be used as a body wash, facial cleanser, shampoo, hand wash, and for shaving. I love that it cuts back on the amount of packaging you have in your shower keeping it clutter-free.

Aveda

Aveda’s principles for sustainability cover a broad area including their 100% vegan formulas, 100% wind power to manufacture products, and partial solar to power their manufacturing facilities. Plus, they try to use recycled plastics for their packaging if possible.

One product to check out from their best sellers is the be curly™ Curl Enhancer styling cream. This cream adds moisture, shine, definition, and also fights frizz. Most importantly, it’s also free from parabens, mineral Oil, petrolatum, formaldehyde & synthetic fragrance.

The Body Shop

The Body Shop is a long time favorite brand of mine that has been a pioneer for women-owned brands. Their focus on empowering women & girls, having a community fair trade program, and using vegan & vegetarian products has proven to show leadership to future brands.

One of their superstar products (in my opinion) for curly hair is the Banana Nourishing Hair Mask. It’s made with vegan ingredients and designed for normal to dry hair. I haven’t used many beauty products with banana (outside of my experiment with a DIY banana baby food hair mask ) but its delicious fragrance is incredible and keeps the hair nourished, feeling soft and shiny.

5 Rose Scented Products That Uplift My Beauty Routine

by Rochelle February 10, 2021

As we inch closer to Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d discuss my love for beauty products that smell like roses. This beautiful flower hasn’t always been my favorite but my body chemistry seems to work well with it now. Here’s a small list of 5 rose scented products that uplift my beauty routine.

TGIN Curls & Roses Collection

Many of my hair products smell like fruit or vanilla so I was thrilled to try out some of TGIN’s Rosewater products. This collection uses rosewater and hibiscus as their key ingredients.

Some of the products from this line contain silicones but I managed to create a wash day routine with a few of their silicone-free items. My personal favorites and the one I used in the video include:

  • TGIN Rosewater Sulfate Free Hydrating Shampoo: A gentle sulfate-free shampoo that promotes hair growth, moisturizes, and protects the hair.
  • TGIN Rosewater Smoothing Leave-In Conditioner: A moisturizing leave-in that helps seal and protect the hair
  • TGIN Curl Defining Styling Gel: A soft hold gel that helps define, reduce frizz, boost volume, and doesn’t flake.

Schmidt’s Rose & Black Pepper Deodorant

Schmidt’s Rose & Black Pepper natural deodorant is my favorite item from this list. This hemp seed oil enriched deodorant has a beautiful floral rose fragrance mixed with a touch of black peppercorn. Most importantly, this formula is perfect for sensitive skin if you have allergies to baking soda.

Heritage Store Rosewater Spray

This cult-favorite face spray continues to be a staple in bathrooms and for good reason. It helps tone, soothe, and calm the skin. Similarly, it makes an amazing makeup setting spray.

This natural product only uses two ingredients, Hydroessential Rose Oil and Vor-Mag water and is free of dyes, alcohol, parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It is definitely one of my must-have self-care products.

Now Essential Oils Rose Absolute Oil

After watching “The Crown” on Netflix, I learned that queens are anointed with oils. That’s why I’m doing the same for myself. Now Essential Oils Rose Absolute oil contains a 5% rose oil and jojoba mixture that leaves a gentle yet fragrant hint of rose wherever you place it.

rose scented beauty products

I love adding touches of it on my neck, décolleté, my waist, and between my eyes for third-eye activation. Above all, mixing it with my body lotion or smoothing it in my hair also makes me feel irresistible.

Dr. Bronner’s 18-In-1 Hemp Pure-Castile Soap Organic Rose

Last on the list is the Dr. Bronner’s 18-In-1 Hemp Pure-Castile Soap Organic Rose. This helps makes any shower more luxurious. Further, it helps the floral essence last on your body throughout the day.

Dr. Bronner’s has been in the soap making business for over 150 years and his ‘magic soap’ can be used 18 different ways. Some of my favorite ways to use it is as:

  • A body wash
  • A clarifying shampoo (on occasion)
  • A face wash (just be careful of your eyes)
  • A laundry detergent for my delicates

Incorporating rose scented beauty products has been an easy way for me to uplift my spirits and bring a romantic vibe into my daily routine. What are some of your favorite rose scented must haves? Share with the community down in the comments.

Must Have Michael Todd Beauty Tools

My Must Have Michael Todd Beauty Skin Care Tools

by Rochelle January 15, 2021

As we enter 2021, many people might consider a reset of their diets, fitness, and certain habits. Personally, I enjoy resetting my skin by giving it some extra loving care. Skin care products are great on their own but the added benefits of devices can truly brighten and tighten. Here are some of my must have Michael Todd Beauty skin care tools.

Michael Todd Beauty Sonic Refresher

This skin care tool is the world’s first wet/dry sonic microdermabrasion & pore extraction system. My skin is on the sensitive side so I only use it with the mister that keeps my skin hydrated.

It claims to rejuvenate the complexion and give the skin a more youthful glow using diamond encrusted tips, their sonic technology, vacuum suction, and micronized misting.

michael todd beauty skin care devices

Inside each box you’ll receive:

  • Sonic Refresher Tool
  • 3 Diamond Microdermabrasion Treatment Heads (1 Coarse, 1 Fine & 1 Small Fine)
  • 3 Pore Extraction Tips (1 Small, 1 Round & 1 Oval)
  • Built-in LCD: Control & Battery Indicator Screen
  • Built-in Micronized Mister
  • 30 Disposable Filters
  • Wireless Charging/Storage Cradle
  • USB Charging Cable

I have yet to use the vacuum suction feature, mainly because blackheads aren’t my main concern. The immediate result that I noticed are an improvement in the texture of my skin. Plus, it instantly feels softer and my skin care products apply much better.

With longer use it can help improve fine lines and an uneven skin tone. My skin does get a little red after but looks better by the morning. I usually do this in the evening and use a hydrating moisturizer that works well for sensitive skin after. (Cetaphil moisturizing lotion is my go to.)

Michael Todd Soniclear Elite

Out of the two mentioned, this is the one I buy first. The Soniclear Elite Patented Face & Body Antimicrobial Sonic Skin Cleansing System is a 4-in-1 device cleanses the face and body, massages and infuses serums. It works SO much better than your hands.

Inside each box you will find a:

  • Soniclear Elite Device
  • Wireless charging cradle
  • Charging Cord with wall adapter
  • Antimicrobial face brush (for all skin types)
  • Antimicrobial body brush
  • Hard shell travel case
  • Firming massage treatment head
  • FREE sensitive face brush

After just one use, I noticed how well it exfoliated, brightened, and improved my skins texture. These results were instant.

With longer term use, participants of a clinical trial reported reductions & improvements in pore congestion, an improvement in the look of their skins firmness and elasticity, and a reduction in the appearance of their fine lines and wrinkles.

My ultimate goals for 2021 are to expand my skin care tool collection. Using them is definitely an upgrade from my normal skin care routine. Luckily, Michael Todd Beauty keeps adding new items every year including their newest device, the Sonic Sculpt to help lift, firm, and plump.

Holiday Curly Hairstyle

Holiday Curly Hairstyle for Busy Moms

by Rochelle December 1, 2020

This shop has been compensated by Inmar Intelligence and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.  #ILookGoody

This year I’ll be celebrating the holidays quietly and with my immediate household. Between my husband and two hungry toddlers, the food preparation won’t leave me with a lot of time to get ready. Fortunately, I’ve mastered the art of getting ready quick and I thought I’d share an easy, holiday curly hairstyle for busy moms.

What You’ll Need…

  • Goody® SlideProof Claw Clips
  • Goody® SlideProof Bobby Pins
  • Spray Bottle with Water or Leave-In Conditioner
  • Edge Control or Pomade
  • Edge Control Brush
  • Smoothing Brush
  • Comb

Before creating this hairstyle, I needed to make sure that I had all of my hair tools and accessories. Unfortunately, I still needed a few items so I continued my search on Walmart.com. I’m a big fan of Walmart because it is affordable, family-friendly, and offers in-store pick up (great for busy moms!).

I was pumped to see that Goody® accessories have a brand new look that is full or energy and creativity.

With my fine, curly hair I’ve always felt confident using Goody® because their products are inclusive and work on every hair type and texture. Plus, using them inspires me to use creativity and show off my self-expression.

Holiday Curly Hairstyle Instructions

This hairstyle works perfectly on hair that hasn’t been washed for a couple days so no need to waste extra time in the shower.

DiscoCurls holding her sectioned curly hair

Start by adding a side part that goes back 2-3 inches from your forehead. Continue that part horizontally towards your ear. Section off and secure the front half using Goody® SlideProof Claw Clips. These work on all hair types, have an amazing grip, and don’t budge for all-day stay.

Holiday Curly Hairstyle

Next, use a spray bottle with water (or your favorite leave-in conditioner) and spray around the perimeter of the back section. Then, use a brush to smooth curls up into a high ponytail. Secure the high ponytail with an elastic.

Split the ponytail into two sections and complete a two-strand twist on each one. Continue twisting each section into a bun.

CLICK TO SHOP

My hair texture does a pretty good job holding up a bun but with one wild dance move, this could come apart. Luckily, a simple accessory like Goody® SlideProof Bobby Pins helps secure my updo and gives me confidence that my style will stay put.

Moving onto the front section, remove the Goody® SlideProof Claw Clip and create 2 rows of 5 small sections. For each section, add edge control around the base and use an edge control brush to smooth away any frizz. Then, complete a two-strand twist. Repeat until all sections are twisted.

Holiday Curly Hairstyle

Lastly, place twists strategically along the hairline with the ends twisted towards the base of your bun. When you’re ready to secure your style, insert Goody SlideProof Bobby Pins with the wavy side facing down. The comfort tip on these also ensures pain free styles.

This holiday curly hairstyle is elegant plus, it will keep your hair up and out of the way while you prepare your holiday meals. For busy moms that don’t have time to wash their hair, this is an easy option that still looks glamorous. #ILookGoody

For the coffee and tea lovers, I’ve also created the Fine Curly Crew mug. This 11 ounce ceramic mug is microwaveable and dishwasher safe.

Lastly, the Fine Curly Crew sticker is an easy way to celebrate your fine, curly texture. Stick it on a journal, laptop, binder or locker to share your pride. This vinyl die-cut sticker has a gloss white finish for a high quality look and feel.

All items are available now under the DiscoCurls Store on Teespring. They are a great way to show your fine curly hair pride and make awesome gifts for your curly friends.
