Royal Curl Stay Clean Shampoo 12 oz. $8.99

The claims according to the website:
In a hive, the queen’s sole sustenance is Royal Jelly, a nutrient packed super-food with 17 amino acids, vitamins A, B, C, D, and K. We use the Queen Bee’s secret in Stay Clean Shampoo to keep the kink out of your curls and smooth over your waves. A shot of Sea Kelp Extract gently boosts the cleaning action, while nourishing Mandarin Orange Extract and antioxidant Green Tea restore moisture and help defend against harmful heat and humidity. Gentle enough to use daily, but effective enough to use less frequently.
All natural: No harsh, irritating chemicals like alcohol, sulfates, petrolatum, parabens or phthalates.
Turns Dry Kinks and Frizz Into Silky Smooth Curls

My experience:

The first thing I can say about these products is they smell AMAZING. I think the key word in this product description is moisturizing. I happen to have extremely baby fine hair that has a natural wave to it more than a curl which I have to straighten every day as it is just enough to be annoying rather than defined. I feel that with these products I would be more likely to give myself a break from the straightening now and then because they do provide a little assistance actually defining some curl rather than having haphazard waves in random areas of my head.

Now, because my hair is so fine I found that these products were a bit much for my annoyingly fine hairs. Having such fine hair forces me to have to shampoo it daily to remove oil. Anyone with fine hair knows that the oil most people can get away with for a day or two slicks down fine hair like dressing on lettuce. Since these products are designed to help control kinks and frizz and define curls it will build up too heavily on fine hair with daily use. For me this is the perfect shampoo to use about twice a week interchanged with products that either deep clean or provide volume. This way I still get the control I want, particularly on days that I don't want to style my hair, without product building up too heavily and making my hair dull and lifeless. For someone with extremely thick, coarse, kinky hair that shampoos daily this is the perfect product interchanged with a deep cleansing product once or twice a week. For someone with similar hair that shampoos once or twice a week and an oily scalp is never a problem this is the perfect product.

Royal Curl Moisture Rich Conditioner 12 oz. $8.99

The claims according to the website:
To powerfully remove frizz, define curls and smooth waves, let your hair feast on all-natural Royal Jelly, the nutrient packed super-food that feeds the Queen Bee in her hive. Packed with 17 amino acids plus vitamins A, B, C, D, and K, the Royal Jelly in Moisture Rich Conditioner works with Jojoba Seed Oil and Green Tea antioxidants to deliver luxurious shine and ultimate softness while defending hair from heat and humidity.
All natural: No harsh, irritating chemicals like alcohol, sulfates, petrolatum, parabens or phthalates.
Locks in Moisture to Rehydrate, Detangle and Smooth Thirsty Hair

My experience:

Unlike the shampoo, the conditioner is a product I feel I can get away with daily regardless of which shampoo I am using that day. Even if I need a deep cleaning shampoo to strip out built up products, I still need to lock some moisture back in after. No matter what your shampoo routine looks like this product is the perfect follow up. We all need protection from heat and humidity.

Royal Curl Shaping Creme 15 oz. $8.99

The claims according to the website:
In a hive, there’s only one queen whose diet is only Royal Jelly, a nutrient packed super-food with 17 amino acids, vitamins A, C, D, K and multiple B-vitamins. We use the Queen Bee’s Royal Jelly in Curl Shaping Créme to naturally tame frizz, define curls and smooth waves with silky hold. Pure Aloe Vera Gel and Agave Nectar quench your hair’s thirst without the grease, while powerful Green Tea antioxidants and intense moisturizers defend against damaging heat and humidity.
All natural: No harsh, or drying chemicals like alcohol, sulfates, petrolatum, parabens or phthalates.
Transforms Kinks To Defined Curls and Soft Waves

My experience:

If you have unruly curls this product smoothes them down nicely. For my fine hair I found it to be best used on days when I know that I want to just let my hair air dry and do as it pleases. This gives me a bit more curl and a bit less wave. It is definitely perfect for extremely coarse hair on any occasion.

Royal Curl Smoothing Oil 4 oz. $8.99

The claims according to the website:
Curl Smoothing Oil hydrates locks, smoothes over frizz and prevents future breakage. Pure Corn and Meadowfoam Seed Oils plus powerful Green Tea antioxidants humectify the delicate hair shaft and defend against damaging heat and humidity giving your hair great softness and shine for days.
All natural: No harsh, or drying chemicals like alcohol, sulfates, petrolatum, parabens or phthalates.
Adds Moisture and Shine, Strengthens to Prevent Future Breakage

My experience:

This product does more than I need on a regular basis, but is perfect for a hot oil treatment on occasion when I just need to force moisture back into my hair. It will be a staple in your daily regimen if you have coarse, frizzy, kinky, thick hair that only needs washing about once per week. If the only thing you can think about with regards to your hair is how dry it is then this is the product for you. It is also perfect for adding in a bit of shine and control to unruly curls.
