When I first discovered Only Curls online during 2022 I had two initial thoughts about it. The first was “Wow that’s so expensive” and the second was “But look at all these great reviews”.
Now, I am definitely a woman who believes strongly in honesty and truth telling, and after all, as a product reviewer it is my duty to tell people exactly what I think. So I started following Only Curls across my social media, reading peoples reviews, watching for peoples own stories about their hair and experiences. And so I made a promise to myself that once my usual shampoo was all used up I would order myself a small set and give it a go.

I kept seeing deals come up but I wanted to wait and see, surely it couldn’t be this good and work for everyone’s curly hair. Reviews kept coming thick and fast and awards were being bestowed too. It was positive throughout, and as Black Friday deals became advertised I bit the bullet and decided to add some things to my basket. And yes okay it’s an expensive brand compared to say a high street alternative, however, you simply don’t get the care and attention, nor the incredible customer service, plus don’t forget the natural ingredients and tailor-made curly products… by shopping on the high street… I had never used a completely curly haired brand set before and I figured at the age of (35 at the time I bought) I should perhaps start. A gift to myself and my hair that I love.

I first tried Only Curls in the autumn of 2023, and let’s be honest when I say this, I was hopeful my hair would like the brand (considering I spent £60). But luckily my hair didn’t just like these products, oh no, it freaking LOVED them. And once I got into a new hair washing routine, and my hair was eventually stripped of the entire cheap high street product residue, I instantly saw a difference in my hair. Not only was it softer, shinier and felt healthier, my curls were becoming more defined and had more volume. I was getting curls higher up on my long locks, something I hadn’t had since before I was a parent. I looked in the mirror and I saw me how I would imagine myself, curly and confident, not the half curls half untameable frizz I had put up with for years.

Here is a set of images showing how my curly hair was before using Only Curls. Notice how its half curls and half waves, or it’s flat in some areas and curly in others, or sometimes just frizzy…

Within a month (that was washing my curls twice a week) I could see the difference, it also smells so great too, and friends and family were noticing how good my hair looked. It made me feel good about my natural curls for the first time in a long time, and I wasn’t spending any additional time taming frizz because there was none.

After half a year I woke up one morning and looked at my semi perfect three day old curls and thought to myself, this can’t possibly last, one day soon my hair will get used to this product and it will stop being so effective and I will go back to being the girl with unruly hair…. Well I am coming up to ten months of using this now and I couldn’t be happier to have been proven wrong. So far my hair still loves the products and it works for me. In fact, here are some more images of me from the last ten months so you can see just how many good hair days I’ve been having.

If you are a curly haired woman like me and you have trouble with lack of volume, frizz, crazy undefined curls, flat areas of the hair, dry curls, or you just really want to have healthier curly hair then I implore you to check out Only Curls. They have lots of products and tips as well for those curly creatures like us.

A statement from the Only Curls website reads “Only Curls is against animal testing on all our cosmetic products and ingredients. We have never tested on animals and do not use cosmetic materials that contain animal derivatives. All our cosmetic ingredients are 100% VEGAN.” Another great set of reasons to choose them.

Not only is it the Cleanser, Conditioner, Crème and Gel, Oh no! They do a whole range of useful products as well as accessories to suit every person’s individual needs. And recently they launched a kids range as well. There are also tools such as brushes and towels and bottles, as well as a blog too!

Personally I’m so glad that I took the chance on Only Curls, and I won’t go back to any other brand now, my hair loves this so much. When you follow the instructions and work out just how much of each product you need to make your curly hair at its best, you just rinse and repeat – quite literally!

Here is another set of selfies from this year (2024) showing my hair. I highlighted it myself at home, and my mother trims the ends for me twice a year. I only brush my hair with a tangle teezer when wet and about to cleanse it, and I just apply warm wet hands and scrunch in a morning to revitalise the ends. Otherwise I follow the set of Only Curls bottles and stay hydrated every day.

Product Design and Presentation 5✩

I will outline my scores as follows. I have found the quality of the products to be excellent, they are presented in strong bottles with buttons or pumps, both are easy to use. When I had a pump damaged in transit during delivery Customer Services at Only Curls sent me out a replacement with no fuss. Thank you! I have also found the coloured labels on the product design to be handy, I use them in order now without the need to read them when in the shower.
The ease of use again comes down to the pumps for convenience and also the way you use the bottles in order to achieve the best combination for your curls. However it is a time consuming when washing curly hair, and now doing four products every wash is taking a bit of time. (But it is worth it!)
I had to give the accessories 4 stars because I bought the microfibre towel and was disappointed when the elasticated tie completely fell off after only fifteen to twenty uses of it. The microfibre towelling material itself though is very soft and good quality, great for scrunching excess water from my curls after showering.
I believe that Only Curls is a fantastic brand and it’s been a pleasure for me to write my review having tested the products myself for many months now. I would recommend them.
