For years when I first went natural, I relied on Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream as my moisturizer of choice. It smelled amazing, the price was very affordable, and a little went a long way. But as I became more experienced with the needs of my natural hair, I found products better suited for my hair type.Nevertheless, when I received the Garnier Fructis Curl Treats Voxbox from Influenster, I was excited to see what experience I would have with another Garnier product.
There are three products in the new Fructis Curl Treat Leave-In Styler line – a Curl Smoothie for defining curls, a Curl Jelly for shaping curls, and a Curl Butter for hydrating for curls. These leave-in stylers boast 98% naturally derived ingredients and style without frizz for up to 24 hours. In my Voxbox, I received the Curl Butter and the Curl Smoothie.

Methodology
I used these products on freshly washed and detangled hair, to complete a braid-out using the L.O.C. Method. I sectioned my hair into quadrants and then broke each quadrant into smaller workable sections. With my hair sectioned off, I smoothed a quarter size amount of the Curl Butter into my hair. I followed the moisturizer with my blend of homemade hair oil. I massaged the oil into my scalp and then worked it from roots to ends. Finally, I added a nickel size amount of the Curl Smoothie overtop.
Overall Thoughts
I absolutely loved the results. My curl definition was poppin’ and my hair was beyond moisturized. I also had ZERO frizz. With that being said, a little does go a long way with these products, so use them sparingly. Overall, I really like these products and would recommend them to other curly girls. The Curl Treats line is under $10 which makes it one of the most affordable lines on the market curated for curly hair. Its affordability also makes the product an awesome option for new naturals to experiment with.
