Umberto Giannini was established in 1990 when the award winning hair stylist who wanted to create a natural ‘undone’ look. The product range was first developed in 1998 and provided a fresh angle in media using only real women and real images in their advertising. Umberto Giannini kindly gifted me their curl collection to try.
Umberto Giannini Curl Collection
You will be glad to hear that Umberto Giannini’s products are all 100% vegan and 100% cruelty free. So if you’re vegan you can shop their site with the confidence in knowing it is all suitable for you.
The curl collection is their best selling range which is perfect for enhancing your natural hair texture and defining curls and waves. The collection contains products which are perfect for locking in the moisture, weather proofing your curls and taming the frizz which is a must for my hair.
Curl Jelly wash 100% Sulphate Free
My first impression of this shampoo was a little bit of confusion as it is a very thick and dense consistency, but because of this a little goes a long way. This shampoo feels like you are applying a hair gel rather than a shampoo however adding water helps emulsify the product and it gives great foam despite it being sulphate free. This shampoo retails for £8.25.
Curl Jelly Care De-Frizz Conditioner
My opinions of this conditioner is that it is nice, it does help tame the frizz it and create a really smooth silky feeling even when still wet. I found i got a lot less wet frizz when using this conditioner and serves as a beautiful every day conditioner for all hair types especially those with curly or frizzy hair types. This conditioner retails at £8.25 too.
Curl Jelly Mask Coconut and Shea Treatment
This hair mask is probably one of my favourite hair masks of all time. I know that is a massive claim; but being someone with dry and frizzy hair. This hair mask is a beautiful drink of hydration for your locks.
This mask contains a mixture of coconut oil and shea butter. Which are both well known for delivering moisture which is a MUST for curly and wavy hair types. That said, they’re also perfect for all other hair types. Other hair types may just require less monthly masks. This intensive mask retails at £9.25
Scrunching Jelly
So this is hands down my favourite product in this whole collection. This is surprising given how much I love the intensive mask. But I was struggling to create a cast in my hair since starting the curly girl method and this product was a dream to use.
I do have very long hair, but I did find you needed quite a lot of this scrunching jelly to style all of your hair. Having said that though, I do love the results that this provides. I can see this remaining a recurring purchase in my stash for a long time to come. This jelly retails at £7.25.
