  • Best microfiber towel I’ve used, it dries my hair better and faster and stays put on my head much easier with the elastic band instead of the button. I have extremely thick and heavy hair so I’m a crown affair towel girl for life.

  • As someone with low porosity, fine, wavy hair, I’ve tried many leave in conditioners and this is one I have repurchased a few times. The conditioner is very hydrating but light and I love the smell of the product. Even the packaging is better than others I’ve used. The bottle is glass, has a good weight to it, and the pump can be sealed.

  • This leave in conditioner is an absolute dream! It smells amazing (if you have ever smelled MAC cosmetics perfume “Turquatic” this is exactly what it smells like! I have fine hair and it didn’t weigh my hair down or feel greasy after!

  • it's so easy to fall in love with the crown affair products because not only do they work, but dianna cohen is such a lovely ceo to follow bts. when someone pours their heart into their company it shows. yes they are a little bit pricey, but they are so well designed and i get so many compliments on how good i smell when i wear their products in my hair that it doesn't even matter to me.

  • I purchased "The Oil", Hair ties, and the "Dry Shampoo", and Brush no. 2 . I really love all the products. I feel the difference in my hair. The annoying thing about the brush is that it gets really dirty and dusty. It is rather difficult to clean. I asked the company the best way to clean and they sell a brush for it, but honestly its like a coating of dust.

    The only improvement would be in the packaging of the dry shampoo. I wish the brush for the dry shampoo neatly fit in the container once used.

  • I was really excited to order the shampoo and conditioner after having it on my list for a long time. First off, the packaging is great and it definitely feels more luxe than other nice haircare products I've used. The shampoo feels high-quality and leaves your hair kind of a high friction texture if that makes sense which means you really need to condition it. The conditioner is nice and goes on well. I used up the whole shampoo bottle and still had a bunch left in the conditioner. I wish brands would make smaller conditioner sizes so you run out at the same time, personally. Overall I enjoyed using this product but it didn't change my life and at the price point I don't plan to repurchase. In the past, I ordered the silk scrunchies from Crown Affair for my bridesmaid boxes and thought they were great.

    The product is great but it's a bit too expensive for me to incorporate into rotation moving forward. I also wish there was more of a sustainability aspect to the packaging, maybe there is but I'm not aware of it.

  • I love every product I have tried from crown affair and will keep buying their stuff for as long as the brand exists. The renewal mask and hair oil are nourishing and make my very long hair feel like silk threads without making it look or feel oily. The only negative thing I can say is that the brush used to have silver writing on the handle that said Crown Affair and it was rapidly rubbed off when I would use the brush while I still had a little hair oil on my hands. If they could seal the writing with something to better protect it then the products would be perfect. Also, the renewal mask smells incredible. If the brand ever makes a perfume in that scent I’ll be first in line to get it!

    For ethical reasons I would love to see the brand make a faux boar bristle brush. I use the brush 002 with wooden pins and it does a great job of detangling and is easy to clean but it doesn’t smooth the hair down the same way boar and vegan boar bristles do.

  • The brush!!! So amazing. Literal game changer for my hair. I have never used this kind of brush before and it makes my hair so so soft, I guess by redistributing the oils, and therefore it also really smoothes any frizzies out too. I will say that it kind of molds/styles my hair in that I can’t really run my fingers through it after easily, it kind of holds its shape (not sure how to describe this). I have fine yet thick hair that is very long and fairly straight. Since I loved the crown affair brush so much I did purchase a mini brush by a legacy maker of these bristle brushes to keep in my bag and there is a notable difference in the bristle quality and the other brush doesn’t tend to mold my hair, but I honestly like them both equally.

    Bristles get pretty gross and dusty pretty fast. I purchased a brush for my brush to help with that

  • I got The Brush No. 001, Comb No. 002, and Scrunchie No. 001. I like that Crown Affair is a smaller brand and I appreciate that they have a fairly small selection of products. I'm trying to take better care of my hair and I've noticed a significant reduction in split ends ever since I started my new routine with the comb and brush (comb only when wet, brush once dry). To be honest, I don't love the brush. It makes my hair really frizzy (which it's normally not at all) and it smells SUPER weird if it ever gets wet. I avoid using it for the most part now since I don't like the way my hair looks after using it. The paint has also started to chip and the logo embossing has completely faded away, which is disappointing for how expensive it is. The scrunchies are great and last fairly long! I'm excited to try the hair oil and towel sometime soon.

    More colors in the scrunchies! The brush also does collect a lot of dust and is difficult to clean. I don't really want to have to buy a separate cleaning brush for an already expensive brush.

  • I purchased a brush, a comb, and scrunchies from this company and love them all. Beautiful aesthetic and sturdy products. My only complaint is that the elastic in the scrunchies seemed to wear out pretty quickly.

  • I bought from this brand because I loved the packaging and it came highly requested from the Sephora team, but I was slightly underwhelmed by the formula of the leave in conditioner. I have dry, curly hair and I found this product didn't do much for me in the long-term. I have other more hydrating, less expensive products that I prefer, but overall glad I gave this a shot!

  • I love the packaging. I love the finishing gel. Definitely works better than other similar products on the market. Wish there was more of a scent. Didn’t see any difference using the hair towel.

  • I love this leave in conditioner from Crown. My hair is very dry and just plain old conditioner isn't enough, so I needed to add something more and this really made the difference on how my hair feels and looks. It is very soft and shiny now. It's lightweight and I only needed a small amount, and the texture is pretty amazing. I don't smell a scent.

  • Love the hair clips. They are high quality and so far have lasted me a year with nearly everyday use. A major upgrade from the cheap alternatives that end of breaking. Worth the money.

  • I tried the mini box of products they have at Sephora, and while the smell of the products was amazing, I only found one product that actually worked on my thick, frizzy, wavy hair (the hair masque).

  • I love this brand and trust their products fully. Not only is the packaging so gorgeous- the scents are incredibly unique. I would describe it as a fresh, clean scent with a sort of high end baby powder smell? That doesn’t do it justice. But I really love their dry shampoo. It doesn’t leave me feeling more dirty or heavy and I have fine hair. Plus it smells amazing. Also I use their comb and their hair drying towel every single day !

  • Love Crown Affair!!! Def pricey but effective products for me* that feel super luxurious. Favs have been the towel, the scalp scrub, and the hair mask. All 3 have stepped up my hair care game and have also made for great gifts! I love the concept of the dry shampoo (non-aeresol) and it works well. The leave-in conditioner is good - but probably not a re-purchase for me. I personally love the scent, but it is strong in some products so recommend smelling at a sephora before purchase *I have straight/wavy, long hair

  • I use this towel every single time I wash my hair and I can confidently say that this cuts my drying time down significantly. I have super thick, coarse hair that absorbs water like a sponge and I usually have to allot several hours for my hair to dry to a point where I can even blow dry it. This towel is long enough to capture all my hair (down to bra length) and cuts the drying time in half. I love the elastic in the back that keeps it in place.

  • DRY SHAMPOO + TOWEL!!! 10/10!!! - Boar Brush is ok. I have fine straight asian hair that is colored and also permed for context. 1. The dry shampoo is the BEST for fine hair. You really only need to apply a TINY bit and then brush it out with the applicator. Less is more here. If you do too much you'll feel and see the build up but that's because YOU didn't apply correctly (sorry). Be gentle and sparing with it and I part my hair differently so I can get the layers. Will only ever use this dry shampoo for my entire life. 2. The hair towel is also so amazing! It really cut down on frizz and also made my hair drier. They should have some tutorial on how to put it on (I spent like 1hr trying to figure out why the strap was there...) I watched some videos on TikTok. So once I figured that out it was great and love that it stays in place while I get ready. 3. I also bought the boar bristle brush. Was this worth it? Ehhh I found it made my hair very static-y even though it did smooth my hair. But I don't use this that often. Usually just round brush (with bristles) blow dry with correct technique and it can come out silky and smooth too. So depends on your routine. I wish they had a baby size for travel - that might be more useful for those touch ups.
