Puff Cuff Hair Clamp Review


I was contacted by the maker of the Puff Cuff to see if I was interested in reviewing their product. I read all the information and watched the informative video: here Hellz yeah! I was interested in something that could hold all my hair with out squeezing my brain or warping the life out of a headband.

Product Name: Puff Cuff Hair Clamp

Size: 5 inches wide (available in smaller sizes)

Product Claims: It works with every type of coily hair, from kinky to curly, to help you create many beautiful hairstyles without cinching your hair to the smallest point of resistance and damaging it. 

Price: $11.99 at Amazon (mine was free for review)

Review:  I really like the Puff Cuff! It was so comfortable! I felt like I had nothing in my hair. It was easy to close and open. I found one strand of hair in it after wearing it for 6 hours.I was complimented on my hair each day. ( I tried it a different way each day for a week) I would absolutely say it lived up to its claims (for my hair). Initially, I thought the price point was high but after wearing it I want to burn my pantyhose leg and all my stretched headbands. I'm cheap but I'm willing to pay for comfort.

I think this would be ideal for young girls with lots of and/or thick hair . It would allow them to independently style their own hair.  

Lesson Learned: 1.)Honest companies want you tell people you got their product for free to review. They also will offer a giveaway without you having to ask. :D 2.) Don't rave about a hair product unless you are willing to take it out and show people at your job. 

The Puff Cuff Hair Clamp Giveaway will start next week!!!

Silky Wraps Review




  








Girls Sleep Bonnet




 
Roxy at Silky Wraps was kind enough to send her product to us for review. I wore the bonnet to cover a twist-out right before the new year. I received the bonnet pictured above with a beautiful black with white polka dot  lining. Here are the products claims from the site:

Silky Wraps is a modern collection of stylish head wraps & bonnets designed to maintain healthy hair for a variety of hair textures.
Hair Wrap:
- Protects hair from moisture loss.
-Helps preserve your style as you sleep and play.
-Adjustable.
-Generously sized to cover nape and edges.
-Durable and comfortable.
-Suitable for all hair types.
You worked hard to get your style, now protect it with Silky Wraps 

This bonnet does everything it claims and in addition will looks adorable on your little KnapsGirl with the optional ribbon closure.

After two days of wear, My twist-out was preserved without being "squished", It has a more substantial feel than other beauty supply satin bonnets I've owned. I assume the heavier feel will translate to better life in the washer. There are more sedate designs for ladies but I was happy with the rainbow butterflies. :) Roxy also makes wraps for relaxed hair. The wraps cost $19.95 each, that being said and regular readers knowing how cheap thrifty I am, I have found that in this area, it is good to make an investment. I have bought countless beauty supply satin bonnets and long rectangular scarves and they have added up to more than $20 before the year was over (they only seem to make it few months in the washer). I purchased a similar product( at the same price) and never looked back. The only drawback I did find was that the rippled bonnets edge may leave an impression on the forehead. Silky Wraps informes me that it is available with a flat edge. When you decide, in my humble opinion, think carefully about how active your little one is while asleep.

Natural Hair - not just for little girls



I just discovered an interesting blog called Tweeny Hair. The site is dedicated to styling hair for teen and "tweens".
Tweens and teens often find themselves somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to confidently embrace their own identities. So what happens when that naturally curly head of hair is suddenly too old for bows and barrettes, but not yet in need of professional adult styles? Step away from the relaxers and join us as we explore natural hairstyles that find the balance between individuality and the desire to fit in.
What a great concept. There are even post that feature the teens styling their own hair.
