KCKT + Boots + LA Looks

Lucky lucky British! I was sincerely hoping that Boots wouldn't work for me. I received a wonderfully generous sample from a lovely lady on naturallycurly.com of this London concoction available readily at drugstores in London and available for an arm and a leg of shipping to US curlies. I was hoping that I wouldn't get wonderfully formed curls and good root curl and no frizz.

Sadly that is not the case. Boots was amazing!! This product has a bit of a learning curve I hear, but on my first try it seems I got it right. Thanks to the work of others, I already knew that it needs to be emulsified before use (rub your palms together vigorously with the product on them until it coats your hands in white). I knew a little goes a long way, and I knew it could work with scrunching (my preferred method of applying non-leave in products). Well thanks to that legwork my first go at Boots was a rousing success. The picture on the right is my hair after I scrunched out the crunch.

I still have a couple of ounces of this stuff to play with, but as soon as some comes on the swap board, I'm buying. So if any curlies reading this blog happen to have some Boots lying around that they don't want, lemme know!! I will take it off your hands gladly!

I'm extremely curious to see how boots would play with re:coil. I think that shall be my next experiment. Of course, by then I may have my other two Donna Marie products to try, and let's not forget Donna Marie Lock and Twist is sitting patiently in my cabinet. Oh the choices a PJ must make! But really, I do want to see how the Boots plays with re:coil first and since Saturday should be my next wash, what a perfect opportunity to try. Anyhoo, just for the sake of comparison, here's a picture from the back. I'm trying to take very similar pictures so I can see the subtle differences between the products I've been using lately.
