I have heard a lot about the Crown Affair and have attempted to buy the dry shampoo from Sephora but it's always sold out. I'm very happy to have snagged this and the others to try out.
The overnight repair serum seems to make my hair feel softer, and as an oily hair girl I didn't feel like it weighed my hair down too much after application.
I've owned so many dry shampoos and I love that the dry brush applicator which isn't terribly messy - and the best thing is it doesn't have the typical strong dry shampoo smell.
The texturing air dry mousse is really nice as I've been trying to accept my wavy-ish hair but don't like my hair to be crunchy. It doesn't feel like a lot of product in my hair so I don't have to wash it out in the evening.
The finishing gel is great for when you want your hair to not be frizzy but once again, not hard and crunchy.
Lastly, I picked up a hair towel because seriously what can make a towel so amazing? Well I loved the size and the fact it did make my hair dry faster and less frizzy. I'll be picking these up for my in-laws and sisters!
Using Crown Affair has been an upgrade in my routine. I’ve been using the Volumizing Shampoo and the Hydrating Conditioner, and the combo does what it says—my hair feels clean, light, soft and nourished. I liked being able to build my own bundle of their products (I actually did a set of 4 and a set of 3 to try a wide range). From the core set to the masks and serums, the textures are lightweight and moisturizing with clean scents (and ingredients). The styling products work well in tandem to keep my often chaotic hair at bay.
I have very long, normal thickness, wavy/curly 2b/2c hair and I have loved my experience with every Crown Affair Product.
The Leave-In - this is my favorite product in the line. It’s a medium consistency that easily and evenly distributes through my hair. Leaves my hair soft and manageable. Air drying I experience almost no frizz but a little frizz with a rough blow dry. The scent is amazing. It’s smells clean and musky, it’s not overpowering, but doesn’t last super long. I wash my hair at night and by morning I don’t smell it anymore.
The Mousse - I have loved this for air drying. It’s a very thin almost mousse, doesn’t leave a cast but just helps define my waves and gives me soft texture and frizz control. Great low maintenance hair day product. Same amazing scent as the leave-in.
The Gel - I didn’t expect to love this product or even use it that much but I reach for this several times a week, usually when I’m slicking my hair back to go to the gym to tame my flyaways. It’s not a hard gel and actually kind of disappears when you brush through your hair. I can use this for a slick back and then brush through and wear my hair down without it looking greasy and with no crunchy feeling at all. Lasts me through a hot Pilates class as well.
The Oil - I use this on my ends almost every night. It feels more like a dry oil which I love because it doesn’t make my hair look greasy. I’ve definitely overused it though and it has made my hair look greasy but that’s on me. Smells great (same clean musky scent), hydrates my ends, and leaves a shiny look as long as I don’t use too much.
The Towel - love the waffle texture, it can fit all of my long hair, has a loop to secure the towel end, stays on my head, very comfortable. I love it.
The Mini Brush and Scrunchies - the scrunchies are great. They have good tension (though I’m sure after some time they’ll loosen like every hair tie does) and they don’t pull my hair. The Mini Brush was my least favorite product. It wasn’t able to reach though all of hair so it was just brushing the surface and not getting to the underside which is fine on the ends but not near my scalp. I don’t feel like I noticed oil distribution from the boar bristles either.
All in all I’ve loved my Crown Affair products and I will be repurchasing. They look great on a vanity and I love the results. Definitely recommend!
I looove the finishing gel! It smooths flyaways and gives my hair a polished look without feeling stiff or sticky. The best part is the scent, it smells so good, clean and fresh, which makes me want to reach for it even more. A little goes a long way, and it holds up well throughout the day. I’ve already repurchased because it’s become such a staple in my routine.
I have only tried the finishing gel so far and I really really like it. I haven’t used a ton of other styling gels before so I don’t want to claim it the best when I’m sure there’s others just as good out there, but it’s definitely been amazing for slick back styles keeping my hair in place but then not feeling too gross afterward. I don’t feel like I need to wash my hair right away which is a plus compared to some more stickier gels I’ve tried. It smells really good too. The brand overall does seem a bit overpriced to me but I’d like to try out some more products eventually to see the hype. I do have the small comb (a friend gave it to me) and have no idea how or why that would be over $40 haha. It is literally just a plastic comb you could get anywhere.
