Aussie Bouncy Curls sample review prices from RRP £4.50

 

I have type 2a waves just a gentle hint of a wave, and so it’s often difficult to test products that are meant for curlier hair.  The new Aussie range is marketed for type 2b up to 3b type curls however, I have always been a huge fan of their 3 Minute Miracle and so wanted to test this range.

As you would expect from the products they smell utterly delicious and sweetly scented, without being to over powering.  There’s a whole host of products catering from Shampoo, Deep Conditioner, Hair Mask, Conditioner and Leave-In-Treatment.

Before I review I always like to look at the ingredients of the products.

The range is targeted to treat frizz, create curls and more defined waves with volume. Some of the ingredients include:-

• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice - an ingredient in the Leave-In-Conditioner, Aloe helps strengthen weak fragile hair as well as deep cleansing oily hair. 
• Ecklonia Radiata Extract - again in the Leave-In- Conditioner, this wonder Australian Sea Kelp helps to condition and hydrate dry hair.
• Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil - found in the Shampoo, Macademia helps smooth frizzy hair and adds moisture to dry hair.
• Jojoba Oil - The Hair Mask has a high concentration of Jojoba Oil that has huge benefits for wavy and curly hair. Not only does it strengthen weak hair strands but also contains an abundance of vitamins that help protect the hair from environmental pollutions such as smoke and sun damage. It also acts as anti fungal and so aids in healing of scalp conditions such as psoriasis and eczema.
• Coconut Oil - a key ingredient in the conditioners contains fatty acids that again protect the hair but also helps prevent dandruff, and restores chemically damaged and dehydrated hair.

 

I wanted to try out the Leave-In-Conditioner both on my damp and dry hair. As you can see from the photo, my hair is basically a frizzy mess. I had just got back from walking my dog and hadn’t had time to wash etc. 

I only needed a small amount and scrunched it through my hair to give immediate definition and wave (more so than using a curling styling product). I did add a small amount of water to scrunch through and you can see it encouraged my natural wave.

On slightly damp hair once dried it gave shine, definition and definitely more bounce! What I also love is that the Hair Mask and Deep Conditioner can both be used this way. Either as a rinse out or left in all day to give beachy gorgeous, smelling waves. One way to use this is to apply before the gym or before work and simply rinse out that evening. It doesn’t give lank, greasy curls and I can guarantee everyone will comment on how gorgeous it smells,

The range is vegan and cruelty free and prices start from just £4.50 - £9.99. You can purchase from Boots HERE
