  • Luxurious packaging experience
  • Lightweight, effective formulas

  • Addictive signature scent
  • Occasionally overpowering fragrance
  • Messy dry-shampoo packaging
  • Hard-to-clean boar brush
  • Inconsistent results on oily hair

Crown Affair earns largely positive reviews as a luxe, effective haircare brand with standout tools and treatments—especially The Towel, The Oil, the Leave-In Conditioner, Dry Shampoo powder, and boar-bristle brushes—while criticisms focus on strong fragrance for some, inconsistent results with certain formulas (e.g., mousse, dry shampoo for oily hair), and high prices. Reviews cite elevated packaging, thoughtful design, and long-lasting products, but note occasional issues like messy dry-shampoo packaging, brush cleaning, scent intensity, and a few durability concerns.

  • This is my favorite hydration mask on the market. I live in CO where it's super dry and I use this 2x a week and my hair is as healthy as it is at sea level. The scent is amazing and because it comes in a jar you can actually get all the product out. 10/10.

  • I'm obsessed with this stuff. First off, it smells amazing. I wish my whole body could smell like this. Secondly, it's so lightweight and doesn't weigh my hair down at all. It works so well on my wavy hair. I just comb, apply, scrunch, and I get perfect waves every time. The bottle is glass (which I love...so chic), but it does make the product kind of heavy to travel with.

  • Nice oil, lightweight, spreads well. Need very little to have an impact. Smells good

  • Great mask, left my hair soft and shiny. I had to dock a point due to the price... It does not contain gold or caviar, I have no idea why the price point is so high!

  • As someone who has recently started growing out his hair, I didn't realize what a difference having a nice comb makes. The quality feels so much nicer than what I was previously using (& anticipating), and after a few months of daily use, there has been no warping in the comb. The branding is coming off a bit, but that obviously doesn't affect the quality of the comb.

  • I love so many Crown Affair products, and I've been using the brand since it first started. They smell great, they work well, they're beautifully packaged. I think the prices are fair for the quality involved. Their hair-drying towels are leaps and bounds above competitors in quality.

  • beautifully designed products - the brush helps avoid any caking or white streaks, while the powder and twist close design makes it easy to travel with (especially on flights where aerosols can't be brought).

  • I used to think this brand was outrageously over priced hair care, but unfortunately for my wallet, everything I’ve tried from Crown Affair has been amazing. The clips hold my hair so well (the second row of clips on the inside really help), and the towel makes my hair dry quicker and keep it far more protected after showering. I also got a free travel size in my order so I’ll try that next. Can’t wait to see what else Crown Affair makes next!

  • As a curly girl, I’m always looking for leave-in conditioners that repel frizz and maintain moisture. I’ve enjoyed this leave-in a lot — it’s really good at both. My only downside is I need to use a lot of it to work on my voluminous hair, and the bottle sizes are quite small (with a squirt mechanism that only lets out very little product at a time).

  • A quality silk scrunchy and I absolutely adore the green color.It's not super bold without being a boring black. I have found it does not stretch out as quickly as some brands, but these are also double the price.

  • I bought a bottle of the Signature Scent Hair Fragrance and it's become my go to scent lately. I have gotten many compliments on it. I love when my hair smells good, but not too overpowering. I only use 2-3 sprays per use, so the bottle will last me quite a while.

  • 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!

  • This brush makes my hair feel so smooth and even reduces frizz. I love the bristles and how there’s nylon and boar. It just gives the scalp such a nice feeling. A great alternative to some higher-end brushes that meet a more affordable price point.

  • I’ve been using both the Crown Affair Leave-In Conditioner and the Finishing Spray, and my experiences with them have been very different. The Leave-In Conditioner has quickly become a staple for me. It’s lightweight, deeply hydrating, and leaves my hair feeling soft and healthy without weighing it down. It works well on its own and layers nicely with other products. I’ll absolutely continue to repurchase it. The Finishing Spray hasn’t been as strong a match for my hair type so far. I found it a bit sticky and heavier than expected, though I can see its potential and plan to keep experimenting with how I use it. I think it may work better with different application techniques or styling routines. Overall, the conditioner is a standout for me, and while the spray isn’t an immediate favorite, I’m open to continuing to work with it.

  • Love this product!!!! It adds volume and is lightweight, it helps to define my waves and make also make it look curly. I love that it’s easy to apply to the hair after towel drying and allow it to work its magic as my hair dries.

  • After some research on the best dry shampoos, I was excited to try the Crown Affair’s version. It comes in a beautiful jar with a brush that’s sort of crescent shaped, so that when you apply it you can kind of dab it onto your scalp/part and it feels like it’s really getting in there. You do have to shake and mess with the jar a little bit to get the powder to come out. It smells great and actually works really well. And as always - the gorgeous packaging is chefs kiss 💋

  • I really like this mousse for a quick styling for wavy/curly hair. It is not crunchy when dry. I wish the price was lower. I also had a travel size version (pictured) which is convenient for quick styling when traveling or on the go.

  • The towel is expensive, but my hair has never dried faster! I have the longest hair I’ve had in a while and it still dries my hair in 2 hours with just air drying. My hair is down to the middle of my chest, normal thickness.

  • Everything Crown affair does feels luxurious! The packaging is chic, the products smell great. The leave in conditioner has been a game changer for me as someone with thin, frizzy hair, especially in the winter. Combined with their hair drying towel, I've seen a marked improvement in my hair.

  • I have curly thin dry hair and have tried soooo many shampoos and conditioners over the years. So happy I’ve finally found Crown Affair. My hair feels thicker, has less frizz and the scent is so divine.
