REVIEW: African Pride’s Shea Butter Miracle Bouncy Curls Pudding

Recently, I celebrated my two year natural hair anniversary and I’m so 

proud of myself for lasting this long. After the constant battle with the 

daily maintenance of MY natural hair I thought I would be going back 

to relaxers. But I must admit that having natural hair is fun because its 

versatile and with versatility comes product sampling. 

I purchase a new product every 2 weeks and my newest find was 

African Prides Shea Butter Miracle Bouncy Curls Pudding. 

I noticed a lot of posts on Instagram about this product and I had

to run out and purchase it. My local beauty supply store had it for 

only $5.99 and I thought to myself how could something so spectacular

be so inexpensive?!?!?! 

I also purchased my favorite go to product, Eco Styler Gel with Olive Oil, 

just in case the Pudding didnt work on my hair. 

As always, I shampooed and conditioned my hair before applying the pudding. 

As soon as I applied the Bouncy Curl Pudding I saw instant results. 

On the right side of my hair you can tell how my hair laid so nicely 

in the photo below. 

I’m also pleased at the fact that this product really moisturized my hair. 

I put chiney bumps (b.k.a. Bantu Knots in the natural hair dictionary) 

the next day and my hair felt really good. No dryness, no flaking (we HATE that), 

and not dull looking. 

I will definitely purchase more jars in the near future because I am extremely 

heavy handed when it comes to applying products to my hair. 

Check out more photos below. 

Disclosure: I purchased this product with my own money. It was not provided to 

me for free from African Pride. This review was based on my own experience 

and no one influenced my opinion.

 Let’s Get Laced Cancer Charity Event is ALL about contributing to the fight
for the cure of Cancer. LGL used their ministration to aid in the assistance by
servicing cancer patients with Lace Wig Makeovers, due to their hair loss from
their cancer treatments. Tiffany Coleman-Prince, Brand Manager
of Let’s Get Laced, unfortunately knows all too well the struggles with
losing a loved one to Cancer. Almost two years ago, she lost her precious
mother Patricia Allen-Coleman to the unrelenting disease.
In honor of her beloved mom’s memory, she created the P.A.C. Foundation.
Breast Cancer is a disease that about 1 in 8 U.S. women (just under 12%)
will develop over the course of her lifetime. Battling the despondency of her
mom’s untimely parting, Summuyya Newman desired to discover a course of action for
Tiffany to aqueduct her affliction. This is when The 1st Annual Let’s Get
Laced Cancer Charity Event Series was born.
With the first fundraiser an instant success, prestigious names in entertainment
and media are signing on to be a part of this year’s event.
Special Guests & Sponsors Include Top names like the BMajor Foundation,
Bank United, Dasani Jewels, Poe Boy Music Group, Every Boob Counts,
