Only Curls

I got the sample pack (shampoo, condish, gel, cream) when I bought their towel and bonnets, I did think it was nice products that wasn't too heavy (fine haired low porosity here), the megahold gel didn't exist then, so while I found the enhanced gel nice to apply I thought it was too soft hold. Overall I simply can't justify their price. I use noughty for most, like some as i am, shea moisture, umberto and camille, and still am trying to find my fav gel or mousse. All of these are cheaper than OC. If OC was closer to these in price I would still get them.

You can absolutely get the same results with far cheaper products. After spending a lot of money, I found it's much more about finding a technique that works for my hair.

100% yes for me. I have fine curls which get easily weighed down (3a with some 2c and some 3b)

I love only curls and definitely been a game changer for me but agree with others all curls are different and react differently. Recently tried tootilab - think I maybe switching allegiance 😝

Personally onlycurls worked really well for me and I love it! But I only buy it when it's on offer/I haven't really found a set brand or set that works best. My hair didn't like Noughty, defo loves Shea moisture but it's a bit spenny too! It's trial and error really. Only curls do a sample set which is good though and you'd get a few washes to see how your hair got on with!

I love them so much! My hair loves their products. Not for everyone, though, as most curly products are lol

I love the fragrance free line. Any cheaper alternative recommendations would be appreciated though

It's good for my hair but I'm annoyed at how much it costs and I'm still trying to find an alternative. I'm allergic to a lot of fragrances so I'm using the fragrance free range which gives it more value to me.

For me, no. But the thing with curls is that everyone has their own perefernces, and there are so many factors in what works for us all and what doesn't. I would suggest getting their little sample pack and giving it a go, they're one of few brands that offer them still!

Only Curls was a waste of money for me... I've been around the houses trying a lot of mid to high priced curl ranges, the ones that deliver for me anyhow tend to me the more expensive ones: Davines Curl range and the best has been Oribe products for me, which are very £££. It depends really on what your curls are like.. everyone has success with different products.

No, I used it when I first changed to having my hair curly. It's overpriced and not very effective in my opinion. There was too many 'stages' of products too.

I didn't get along with Only Curls, I hated the smell as well! What is the texture of your hair? Not the curl pattern, that doesn't matter, but how thick are the strands? This will affect the kind of products that will work best for you. Plus I find water hardness is key if you want to really dig into what is affecting your hair. It doesn't always mean spending loads! I find styling products are worth spending a bit more on than shampoo as well.

Not for me at all, probably due to the coconut content. Instead, I get good results using the following: Cowash: Aldi (or Sainsbury's)apple conditioner Condition: With above or Ultimate Blends rice water infusion conditioner Leave in: Noughty intensive care Curl cream: No longer used but Noughty Wave Hello curl taming cream Mousse: Shockwaves volume mousse (the green one) Gel: Eco gel, either olive oil or super protein

For me Only Curls wasn't great for my hair. I did try Curlsmith - one of the other pricier ones - and that did work well for me (went for strong hold). But I'm a fan of Umberto Giannini - cheaper and achieved a very similar result and a lot easier to find.

I didn't like it...it's got coconut as one of its ingredients and my hair hates it 🤷🏻‍♀️ it did nothong to my hair. For reference, my hair is medium density, not too think but not too fine

I tried their products (was not blown away by it) so now only purchase the curling gel when they have offers on, as it provides a good finish. I used to use Umberto Gianni (used it for about 12 years) but they changed the ingredients and it stopped being effective. I'm currently using Aussie curl shampoo, conditioner and curl cream. Then finish with Only Curls gel.

Yes! Loved the products so much ❤️

Has anyone experienced an itchy scalp when using Only curls? I generally wash my hair in the shower and it causes other areas downstairs to itch! Although it really curls my hair i think I'm having a reaction to it has anyone else had this reaction and what alternatives do people recommend?

I use the shampoo, conditioner, cream and gel. They've drastically reduced frizz and made my hair way less greasy. However, these are the first products I've ever used that are designed specifically for curly hair, so I don't have anything to compare them to. I would guess they are probably overpriced but I really like that they supply unscented versions.

I've tried them - I did get good results, although there are definitely harder hold gels out there, so it depends on what you want to achieve! Then again, I live in a soft water area, so maybe it's just me!

It made my scalp hella dry and flaky so I had to stop using it.

I really wanted to love it but it just didn't really do anything for me. I'm willing to give it another go if there's decent offers on etc but I just have used cheaper products that have done more for my hair

Yes to this! It's been far more about my technique and my hair just generally getting curlier over the years of not straightening it and taking better care of it than the products

Honestly. We use cantu and it's great. Affordable. Only curls are selling to a particular audience. The influencer type. Doesn't mean it's a better product.

I went to a curly specialist hairdresser and they used Only Curls products on me. My hair came out looking the best it's ever looked, so I rushed to buy the products. I totally failed at matching the salon results no matter how hard I tried and I've since stopped using most of the products as I found cheaper versions give me the same results. * Cleansing co-wash - This was the first dedicated co-wash I've tried so I don't have anything to compare it to, but my hear did feel lovely and clean after using it - this is the main one that I might consider buying again, but I'd want to try some cheaper options first * All Curl Conditioner - Fine but probably not worth paying extra for.. the 75p Tesco conditioner probably does the same job * Exfoliating scalp scrub - I like it as a bit of a "luxurious" wash - I don't use it every time but it feels good to remove build up with it. It's very tricky to work into my hair though, especially before it's been detangled * Hydrating curl cream - Not sure I saw the advantage of this - I suspect comparable products from Boots do the same job * Enhancing curl gel - I didn't find this gel strong enough. It was my first time using gel so I wasn't sure if it was me doing something wrong or the gel, but I agree with some reviews I've seen that it's not a strong gel. I have not tried the Mega Hold Curl Gel * Microfibre towel - Personally I don't see the advantage over using a regular towel or a tshirt.

I've tried all the products except for the curl cream. The foam is the only thing I actually use and it's pretty good. I have really fine hair and the rest of the stuff is just a bit too heavy for me to use on a regular basis. I also find the fragrance cloying so if I buy anything else from them, it'll definitely be from the fragrance-free line. I'm a fan of the pillowcases and scrunchies though!
