This past weekend I headed home to South Florida to spend time with my family. In channeling my inner minimalist, I was on a mission to pack one go-to product that both J and I could use, that would keep our hair in check without me having to spend too much time styling and prepping. I decided to bring along the Camille Rose Naturals Curlaide Moisture Butter for the ride, hoping that our new friend could withstand the challenge. Spoiler alert: It did!
Camille Rose Naturals Curlaide Moisture Butter Review (Used on both mommy AND baby)
The Good:
Our hair was for sure reaping the benefits of this creamy goodness. This moisture butter is seriously the gift that keeps on giving! I didn’t re-apply once during our 3 day trip, and our curls were just as soft and moisturized as they were on day one! For J’s hair, I spritzed with water, finger detangled, and re-did her pigtails each day… easy breezy. For my hair, I started with a wash and go in which I applied the Moisture Butter to wet hair, then applied a gel on top (my first wash and go with gel). On day two, I wet my finger tips and fluffed my hair a bit- nothing more was required. Day three I stood under the shower stream, touched my hair a bit, shook my head and went about my day. I didn’t detangle my hair or reapply any product because I’m trying to limit the amount of manipulation I do on a daily basis. My curls were still in tact, and I actually didn’t need to do any of the above because they were still defined from my wash and go days before!
The texture is similar to a thick whipped cream, and if you turned the jar upside down, no product would spill. I also noticed that this product is glycerin free which means it’s winter friendly, and I can definitely see it holding up in dryer climates!
Bonus: The Camille Rose products always leave me craving cupcakes, chai tea, or a little bit of both. The scent is truly delicious and unless smelling like a decadent dessert isn’t your thing- you’ll probably fall in love with the fragrance too. Admission: Sometimes when I’m craving sweets, I’ll pop in my bathroom and smell these products, and I swear it feels like I’ve had my fix!
The Bad:
$$. I love to love the products by Camille Rose Naturals, but the price point is the only thing that’s less than stellar. Be sure to stock up when they are on sale, otherwise you are looking at paying about $16 for the 8oz jar. If I can attest to anything, however, its the fact that the products do last you a while, and as mentioned above- a little really does go a long way.
The Truth:
I am in love with this Butter, for both J’s hair AND mine! I haven’t decided if the Moisture Butter or Jai Twisting Butter is best for my wash and go’s at this point but I’m glad I found another product that gives me great results, just in case one or the other is not around. I will probably do a full review comparing the two butters soon but as for this product, I like it and everything it stands for. Baby’s curls were happy, and mommy’s coils sang too! Win, win.
Thanks for the info. ..I think I’m going to fall in love with this line

Thank you for reading Melissa! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the products once you try them. Don’t forget to keep me posted!
This is a great moisturizer for my hair. It’s not too heavy and leaves it very soft. I have fine to medium strands with low porosity.

Yolanda, that’s exactly what I love about this cream! Its lightweight but packs a powerful punch in the moisture department. Def. a win in my book! Thank you for your comment love!
Hi Jen,
Congratulations on the new baby! You are very pretty and so are your children! I am transitioning from major heat damage. It’s been one year since I’ve been on my hair journey and I still battle extreme dryness. I pre-poo with oil and conditioner, shampoo, deep condition and then the LCO method. After my hair is dry, it looks like straw, brillo and hay had a baby (LOL)! All jokes aside, it looks and feels terrible! I have yet to figure out what is causing the extreme dryness. I have to moisturize twice and day and its still not working. The end result is always dry and brittle hair.
I see that you liked the moisture butter by Camille Rose. My question to you is: do you think it is too much to use the Camille Rose Coconut Water Leave In , Moisture Butter and Grapeseed Oil (LCO method) on wash day only? I would refresh with the Camille Rose Fresh Curls during the week. I have fine hair (what is considered 3C).
Thank you.

Dee, you are such a sweetheart, thank you so much!!! This may be a bit of unsolicited advice in regards to what you are experiencing with dryness, but have you tried clarifying your hair? Sometimes product buildup can be the culprit for dryness, especially for fine hair. I’m learning that sometimes, less is indeed more. As far as using the Moisture Butter in your LCO method, I’m just worried about layering it with other heavy products (I know the coconut water leave in as super rich); we don’t want you having to moisturize several times a day, that defeats the purpose! (I’ve definitely been there.) I recommend trying the butter (or any new product for that matter) on its own first, so you know how it performs before mixing it with others. Let me know what you decide upon! (P.S. Thank you for reading and commenting!! ❤)
