Black Earth Products are an all natural anti-bacterial system based on Bay Laurel. All Colors and fragrances used in these products are derived from dried fruit extracts or juices.The latest in the Black Earth system of products is Crinkles and Curls Styling Lotion. This lotion holds curls, crinkles, twist outs, sets and crimps twice as long without flaking or hardening. It adds moisture and sheen, but will not cause build up. Use Crinkles and Curls to cut down on drying time. It can be used for wet sets or dry sets.

For wet sets: Wash and condition as usual. To curl locks- apply Crinkles & Curls, roll them up and set them (use end papers to avoid breakage). For crinkles- apply Crinkles & Curls, braid or twist, then sit under dryer and unbraid or twist-out for that twist out crinkled look.

For dry sets or overnight sets Same as above with dry hair.Use rods for longer a longer lasting set. Great for straw sets.

Not too great

By kaushauw from mickelton, nj on December 2, 2011

I used this product on my natural hair when doing my version of a wet set. I twist my hair, then set my twist with foam curlers. Usually my hair will turn out curly and soft. But I have not experienced the same outcome with this product. It leaves my hair somewhat stiff and the curls nnever form, so I just end up with crinkles which I don't prefer.

Pros:

nice smell
good amount of product for money

Cons:

gives me crinkles, not curls

Great product; twice the hold in half the time.

By Diane from Scranton PA on November 3, 2011

I have locks that take a tremedous amount of time to curl and because they are long, they are heavy so curls tend to droop shortly after spending hours under a dryer; Using Crinkles and Curls, my style holds up for a day or so before I have to roll again.

Pros:

Non-gel, lightweight foam leaves no residue build-up.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Good product

By angela from salem, MA on July 27, 2011

Cons:

none

Amazing Little Curls

By Sim from Santa Barbara, CA on May 4, 2011

This product worked very well with my hair. It gave more definition to my curls :) My roommate even began using it in her hair.

Pros:

The smell. Not heavy.

Cons:

Wish it came in a bigger bottle

I would recommend this item to a friend.

very light, keeps hair soft. Appears to be doing a good job holding curl.

By bonnie from bend, oregon on April 16, 2011

I need to give this one a few more trys to determine if I love it or like it. My hair is very think and curly and frizzy so weather plays an important role in my hair days. The few times I used this it appeared to work good, when I used it in combination with the gel it seemed to provide better hold to my curls.

Pros:

Smells good, light feel. Does not dry hair out.

Cons:

HOld may not be strong enough for my hair type. Very thick, long, dry, curly hair.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

great for holding curl pattern in relaxed hair

By Tashaun from Lansing, Illinois on February 20, 2011

I bought this product because i am transitioning to natural hair. i used this product for twist out and curl set and it really didn't work for me. My twist out looked really greasy and the curls looked dry. However, i gave this product to my mom and she would just put a lot on her hair after washing or a relaxer and her hair looked Great. She says it felt soft and wonderful for days. She uses this product all the time now. i guess it depends on your hair if this works for you.

Pros:

great on relaxed hair

Cons:

greasy twist out look

Super soft results

By kimberly from eastpointe, MI on February 5, 2011

This product is great for styling. Leaves hair soft. NO noise!! If you have dry hair that you can hear, you should consider adding this into your styling regimen.

Pros:

Makes hair super soft

Cons:

Scent

I would recommend this item to a friend.

I would buy this again!!!

By Nicole from Bakersfield, California on January 14, 2011

I bought this so I could try on straw curls and this product worked great. The curls came out soft and not frizzy; it wasnt heavy so my hair didnt feel gunky. I actually put this in my hair everytime I wash my hair. It smells great!!!

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Wraping Lotion

By Angela Bivens from Atlanta, GA on January 10, 2011

Seems to be more natural ingredients incorp. Hold is decent and not hard. By the end of day hair does start to have fly aways, but that is probably a good amt of time for a more natural formula.

Pros:

Holds decent

Cons:

Wished would hold a little longer, but it is the best I tried so far.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Absolutely Love!!!

By Donna from Charlotte, NC on January 7, 2011

One of my favorite Styling foam lotions. Does not dry out my natural curls.

Review for Black Earth Products Crinkles & Curls Styling Lotion

By connie bond from north carolina on January 1, 2011

this product is just what i was looking for keep my hair soft and curly

I would recommend this item to a friend.

It's pretty good...

By Tiffany from Studio City, CA on December 8, 2010

I use it to seal in products that I don't have time to sink in on its own. It dries so quickly it expedites the process of my hair oils... My hair is short now so I don't do twists as much as I plan on doing. Once my hair gets longer for locs I'll definitely return to this product.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Truth in Advertising

By Terry from Huston on November 3, 2010

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Just Plain Beautiful

By Brenda from Rocky Mount, North Carolina on July 19, 2010

The thing that frightened me the most about going natural was finding a hair style that I would like. Worry no more. This styling lotion not only smells terrific, but it gave me the soft, manageable curls that I was hoping for. It's easy to use and because my hair is so straight it gave me the confidence to try more styles.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Smells Good

By Cynthia Conseillant from miami, fl on June 26, 2010

It has a great smell and holds the style through the day and does not leave your hair dry.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Ahmazing

By Onome Uwhuba from Chicago IL on June 9, 2010

Its almost like curl activator, and it made all my kinks turn curly. But note that it makes pretty small curls (bigger than kinks, but not big curls), it essentially makes crinkles

Pros:

Does exactly what it says

Cons:

The curls it makes aren't very big

I would recommend this item to a friend.

AahMazing

By Onome from Chicago, IL on June 3, 2010

This product is absolutely amazing, it crinkles and curls your hair as soon as you put it on, it does exactly what it says

Pros:

It is completely honest

Cons:

I realized that I don't like crinkles, so i'm going to try the Black Earth Lock It Up Gel, and use this for comb outs.

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Great for Locs

By RAIN from Silver Spring, MD on May 2, 2010

Every other Moose I used on my locs to get curls has left white residue in my hair, this doesnt and holds pretty well! I feel like I use most of the bottle only styling my hair three times though, only downfall but the curls are awesome ;-)

I would recommend this item to a friend.

It Really Works!!! =)

By Diondra B from TN on March 31, 2010

Love this! It is not heavy at all, and it does not flake! I have a hard time finding products that do not weigh my hair down, so I am pleased with this. Also, it really worked on my wet perm rod set as well as braid out. I will continue to use this and recommend to others. It smells good too, but the smell is gone once the style is done. Love the product still! =)

Pros:

Non-flaky, light weight, locks in style.

Cons:

The lovely smell does not last on hair. :'(

I would recommend this item to a friend.

Excellent Product!!!

By Oma from Washington, DC on February 2, 2010

This is the best styling lotion I've been able to find! It defines AND moisturizes my curls without leaving them stiff or dry. It feels like the moisture actually gets into the hair cuticle instead of just coating it and it doesn't weigh my hair down at all.

Pros:

-safe ingredients
-moisturizes
-no petrolatum

Cons:

none

I would recommend this item to a friend.

By anetra from greensboro n.c on December 29, 2008

I have used this product twice to curl my hair and there is no other product that can hold and work those tight miracle curls. I have very thick,long locs when I want that jazzy-classy look it doesn't disappoint me.

Review for

By deborah best from north carolina on November 1, 2008

I received my bottle on November 1, 2008. I touched up a portion of my hair that the curl had fallen. I had a set in about an hour. I normally wait about two months before I get a relaxer and I will wear my hair with the texturized look there after to extend my relaxer. I can't wait to use it for that purpose.

Review for

By Paulette Tobin from New York City on August 28, 2008

I just received this product and just added a little to a twist and rolled it. I waited about 1 hr and unrolled, my twist game out so curly I couldn't believe it!! It is so hard to find a product that works on natural hair like this one. Oh, and it added such a great shine to my hair. I can't wait to roll my whole head with it. Please keep up the good work!!

By Coco from Washington, DC on August 19, 2008

I have Sisterlocks and I use Black Earth's Crinkles & Curls Styling Lotion to set my locks in curls, twists and crinkles. It leaves my hair with no build up, no stickiness, and a fresh clean smell. I don't use any other product to set my hair now. I love it and refer it anyone who will listen!!
