Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I absolutely love discovering nourishing and hydrating haircare products, and for my curly hair these attributes are essential. When I first began using Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture haircare, I was immediately struck by how gentle, and yet effective the products were, and how pampered and nourished these gentle gems made my tresses look and feel.

About Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Haircare,

Walker Beauty Culture's product solutions contain all new formulations created with the highest quality natural ingredients – including first-to-market dual oil encapsulations – and performance-driven innovation to inspire every woman to be unapologetic in the expression of her individual beauty – whether kinky, coily, curly, wavy, or straight/heat-styled.  The treatment collection is designed for all hair types to help restore and maintain health. 
Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Smoothing Brassica Seed & Shea Oils Silkening Shampoo ($24.00 for 12 oz. from Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture and Sephora): This ultra-gentle, and non-stripping, shampoo does a remarkable job removing dirt and product buildup while infusing it with moisture. This shampoo leaves hair silky soft and shiny, and it does so without any sulfates.

According to Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture,

This gentle cleanser washes away impurities and residue so nothing stands in the way of silky-smooth styling. Infused with moisture to pamper dry, heat-styled hair, it leaves hair soft and shiny. Dual encapsulation technology ensures a smooth finish as tiny microspheres deliver fast-absorbing brassica seed oil, a natural alternative to silicone, and deep conditioning shea oil exactly where hair needs it most. Time-release actives help to extend your straight style.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Smoothing Brassica Seed & Shea Oils Silkening Conditioner ($24.00 for 12 oz. from Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture and Sephora): This is one of those fantastic conditioners that hydrates, softens and smooths even the most unruly curly hair like mine. In fact, my hair is can be brushed out without incident after I have used this condition, and without the aid of a detangler. More often than not, I tend to let my hair dry naturally, but this conditioner protects hair from heated styling tools– which is essential for me when I opt to blow dry my hair.

According to Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture,

Uncontrolled high heat and tension can make hair dry and difficult to control. Instantly soften and smooth with this restorative conditioner, so hair is left easy to manage. Dual encapsulation technology ensures a smooth finish as tiny microspheres deliver fast-absorbing brassica seed oil, a natural alternative to silicone, and deep conditioning shea oil exactly where hair needs it most. Time-release actives help to extend your straight style, while jojoba adds slip for easy styling and softness.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Curl Enhancing Jamaican Black Castor & Murmuru Oils Ultra Moisturizing Detangler ($24.00 for 12 oz. from Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture and Sephora): I love to use moisturizing hair detanglers because curly hair really requires added pampering since it has the propensity to tangle and knot– which can lead to excessive damage. For me, a good detangler should also add needed moisture, defrizz hair and make it more manageable, and that is precisely what Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Ultra Moisturizing Detangler does.

According to Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture,

The process of detangling is one of the most important aspects of curly, coily hair care. Instantly soften and add slip that helps unravel knots and snags for easy styling with this moisturizing detangler. Dual encapsulation technology ensures a healthy-looking, hydrated finish, as tiny microspheres deliver nourishing Jamaican black castor and moisture-sealing murumuru oils right where hair needs it most. Time-release actives help maintain moisture and extend your curly or coily style.

Select Ingredients and Attributes:
  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Contains a unique composition of ultra-moisturizing, restorative omega 9s.
  • Murumuru Oil: A super emollient that coats and seals in moisture while restoring sheen.
  • Sunflower Seed Oil: Adds moisture and shine without being heavy or greasy.
  • Shea Oil: A natural deep conditioner for hair.

Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture Scent and Shine Coconut Oil ($26.00 for 1.7 oz. from Madam C.J. Walker and Sephora): This is the perfect choice for anyone seeking a high quality hair oil that does not contain silicone, and I count myself among the people who prefer silicone-free hair oils that nourish the hair rather than cause a chemical build-up. This lightweight and fast absorbing oil nourishes the hair and leaves it soft, supple and shiny. It helps to define curls without weighing them down, and it has a delectable warm coconut and vanilla scent.

According to Madam C.J. Walker Beauty Culture,

Deeply nourish and protect curls with this fast-absorbing, lightweight treatment oil. Subtly scented with a medley of woods, coconut, and sweet vanilla notes to refresh hair in between washings, it helps maintain curl definition and healthy-looking shine.

Pure oil extracted from premium coconuts stays liquid at all temperatures for easy application. Mid-chain fatty acids penetrate strands to deeply nourish and support hair. Coconut oil has a naturally high affinity for hair protein so it helps fortify the building blocks of hair. As it delivers pure goodness, subtle fragrance covers date-to-date odors and refreshes waves and curls. A little goes a long way.

Key Ingredient Attributes:

Coconut Oil: Adds luster, shine, and softness to the hair; helps prevent hair breakage and split ends.

Ingredients: Capric/Caprylic Triglycerides (Coconut Oil), Fragrance (Essential Oil Blend).

Overall Assessment: I love this line, and definitely want to further investigate their other products. They make haircare products for all types of hair, but if you have unruly, curly hair you will be delighted by how well this line understands the needs of your kinky, curly hair! This is an excellent line that is well worth your consideration.

Cibu Haircare to Pamper Your Tresses | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Summer may be an especially enjoyable time of the year, but all of that fun-in-the-sun can really wreak havoc on your hair by drying it out, causing the color to lighten and fade, and by causing lots of damage which results in brittle hair. Given that I have curly hair, that I color periodically, I do what I can to minimize sun exposure in order to avoid damaging my tresses. One of my best lines of defense is using moisture-rich shampoos and conditioners to provide as much hydration as possible before I even step outside. 

One of my recent haircare discoveries is Cibu, a professional salon line created by hair dressers for their clients. I have been testing out their line created for colored hair along with a detangled and a styling mousse, and I have been absolutely delighted by the extent to which it moisturizes, nourishes and detangles my hair.

About Cibu,

For more than a decade, Cibu has offered Clients the right tools to become artists behind their own bathroom doors. Cibu’s high-performing, color-safe formulas are inspired by nature, offering affordable luxury for every hair type and solution.

Cibu Color Shampoo ($20.00 for 13.5 oz from Cibu): This is a gentle and very hydrating shampoo that is non-stripping and sulfate-free. Not only does it prevent color from fading, but it offers a nice dose of moisture that is perfect for damaged hair, curly hair, and hair that is dry.  It has a light fruity floral scent that fades away quickly.

  • Sulfate and paraben free
Shampoo Ingredients:
Cibu Color Conditioner ($20.00 for 13.5 oz from Cibu): Cibu is not exaggerating in their claim that this is an ultra-hydrating conditioner. In fact, this tames my naturally curly hair so much that I can easily get a comb through it without the need for a detangler or a leave-in conditioner. That may not sound like a big deal, but trust me when I say that it is when it comes to my hair! Not only does this conditioner lengthen the life of hair color, but it leaves my hair soft and shiny. It has the same fruity floral scent as the shampoo, but I find that the scent also fades quickly.

Cibu Knot So Knotty Anti-Breakage Detangler ($18.00 for 6 oz. from Cibu and Amazon): While I don't technically require a detangled or a leave in conditioner after using Cibu Color Shampoo, I do like the extra moisture that it affords my hair. In addition to that it tames any frizzies and leaves my hair very  soft and manageable. This has a really delicious almost tropical scent that reminds me of summer. The scent lingers for a while before it fades away.

An anti-breakage detangler and leave-in conditioner that’s infused with Bamboo, Lotus flower, Water Lily, Hydrolyzed silk/soy proteins, Vitamin B and Rhatany root to retain moisture, add shine, refresh and revitalize hair.

Detangler Ingredients:
Cibu Mousse Lee Foaming Volumizer ($18.00 for 7.5 oz. from Cibu): When I want to set my curls with a little flexible hold this is my new go-to finishing product. It offers some volume without giving me big hair, but if I scrunch it in I can get the hold without the volume. It has a subtle warm fragrance that fades fast.

Non-aerosol and gluten-free, this lightweight, medium-hold mousse is ideal to set curls and add touchable, soft volume for a perfectly “undone” style. 


Features:
  • Lightweight, medium hold, non-aerosol mousse

If you prefer to check out their products in person, then you can look for a salon near you who stocks Cibu products here. Have you tried Cibu before? If so, what are your thoughts?
