So today I bring your way a product review.
I got Taliah Waajid’s curly curl cream from Casa Bella at Ikeja City mall. It was an impulse buy.
Let’s get straight to it. It’s going to be as short as possible.
PROS
-It defines curls like it says it will.
This product would be great for wash and go’s because it defines curls/coils. (I however use it to twist my hair mostly and it works well for that too.)
However I have often heard that if you have no curls in the first place, curl defining products will have nothing to define. So keep this in mind and don’t expect a miracle product that will turn your hair to telephone cord type of curls, lol. It’ll define the curls that you do have.
-It’s moisturizing.
I love this stuff when it comes to moisturizing! It makes/keeps my hair soft and moisturized for days. The first ingredient is water and it also has glycerin and Shea butter in it.
-The smell is nice. Nothing too fantastic but nice.
-A little goes a long way. It’s thick too.
-Leaves no whitish residue once you rub it in properly.
CONS
-It’s sticky.
And if you are heavy handed like I am, it can leave your hair feeling sticky and mushy. So definitely use it in small doses.
-The price IN NIGERIA.
I don’t know about other parts of the world but the price here isn’t particularly low. I got this for N2890 I believe from Casa Bella.
-It contains mineral oil.
Mineral oil is number 9 on the ingredient list. Mineral oil is said to weigh down the hair, clog the scalp and cause build up. I think they have discontinued using mineral oil in this product though(either that or they just started adding the mineral oil?) because I googled the ingredient list and all the results came up without mineral oil.(Ps I think mineral oil makes my scalp itch more but this is still a theory for now)
I didn’t look at the ingredients before purchasing because I felt Taliah Waajid would use natural ingredients since they are a natural hair company and I was in a hurry. Don’t make this mistake. Never be in a hurry to buy products. At least google them or look through the ingredients patiently before purchasing.
All in all I would rate this product 3.5 out of 5
I put some on the front part of my hair and didn’t put any at the back so you could see the contrast
Now for a nail update. I’ve been taking Biotin for a week and 2 days now.
This is what it looked like before I started
It’s still too early but this is what it looks like 9 days later
If you’d like to buy Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Cream, you can try:
1. Casa Bella outlets. They sell it for about N2800
2. The Kinky Apothecary. They deliver across Nigeria or you can drop by their stand at L’espace 19A Olosa Street, off Karimu Kotun ,Victoria Island, Lagos. They sell it for N2000(Don’t forget there’ll be a charge if you’re having it delivered)
3. Dab’s import window on Naija Hair Can Grow. From the 1st to 7th of every month you can send her requests on hard to get products and she imports them on your behalf.
Don’t forget to always check the ingredient list before purchasing products and when in doubt, google google google!
Peace!
Your nails are gradually coming back! hope your hands will stay off your mouth this time? lol. nice curls u got

Hi. I think that you may have got an old batch or something. I got a jar from CVS last Christmas for just around $10 so yours was a bit pricey.
The formula is different now as there is no mineral oil and the consistency is thicker and sort of pasty. You might want to revisit the revised formula. It feels good to me but I used it with my oil mix.

Hi Tee, thank you for stopping by!
Natural hair products tend to be relatively expensive in Nigeria.
I suspected while using it that it was a discontinued formula.
Will try and get the new formula and give it another go
