What: OGX Quenching Coconut Curls Curling Butter is a hair butter that can be used as a conditioner or a leave-in treatment/styling aid.

How: Coconut Curls is made with coconut oil, shea butter, honey, citrus oils, and a ton of additives that give it a rich, creamy consistency that easily penetrates the hair. It helps to control frizz and hydrate waves and curls.
My experience: I was a bit skeptical of this product when I spotted it on the shelf at Ulta because alcohol is listed as its fourth ingredient. I wasn’t particularly looking for a new butter, but I’m always enticed by any hair product made with coconut oil. Naturally, I tried to justify the purchase. I thought to myself, “It’s winter and my hair is color-treated; I should try a butter instead of gel for my natural styles.”
After washing and conditioning my hair, I performed my typical LOC (liquid, oil, cream) method to moisturize. Then, I twisted my hair in four sections, and let it air dry for a while. When my hair was about 60 percent dry, I applied the Coconut Curls Curling Butter, braided my hair as normal, and went to bed.
The next morning, I took the braids down and noticed that my hair was super soft and my curls were bouncy, like the product claimed. I thought the product description was so cliché (like most hair product descriptions). However, I could not even complain, because my braid-out was on fleek (yes, I just said ‘fleek’ in a product review). I did not experience that infamous crunchiness that comes from using a hair gel. Also, I did not have to moisturize my hair again for another three days, and in the winter, that’s basically a huge win for for me.
Rating/Recommendation:
I will give this product a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. Again, the alcohol content is why am not giving this it five stars. The price is very reasonable and the product actually worked, and not to mention, it smells amazing.
Where to buy: Ulta.
