Testimonials
"I am at last a BELIEVER. My hair had a last relaxer perm
six months ago. I started off with 3 inches new growth and
5 inches permed hair. My hair is bushy, awful to comb and
has lots of frizz if left to it's own devices. I can blow
dry my hair straight with a leave in conditioner but 3 minutes
of heat and humidity and why did I waste my time...I am right
back to square one! The first and second treatments I saw
a very minimal improvement. After the third treatment I used
olive oil as my leave-in and after blow drying I used the
flat iron and there was no denying my hair improvement. The
sheen and texture were impressive. I got five treatments out
of my first jar and ALL my hair is in noticibly better condition.
It also holds a curl with hot curler longer. It took me 10
days of every other day treatments (2 overnights and three
4-6 hour treatments. I was not always sure it was working
either. I ordered 2 more jars. I now want to know how to transition
to letting my hair dry without applying heat and just gettin
curls/waves following initial application of Curlaway. My
advice take your time, you will get there despite the somewhat
unpleasant odor. Try out a couple of options increase or decrease
heat setting on appliances or add an oil treatment. My hair
looks and feels superb. The Chicago heat, humidity and wind
are no match for my hair. No more perms for me. I will get
my husband to take a picture--if I can get his hands out of
my hair :) after I finish my next jar." Bonnie

BENEFITS OF
CURLAWAY - GENTLE CURL RELAXING GEL
Curlaway Curl Relaxer gradually removes curl and eliminates
frizz without damaging your hair. With Curlaway you control
how much curl to remove and get the easy to manage style
you want, be it S-curls, ringlets, wavy, full and loose
curls or, with continued use, silky-straight.
Curlaway can be applied over a perm to refresh it. It
can also be applied before you decide to use a perm - there's
no waiting.
Curlaway allows you to color your hair.
Regular applications of Curlaway Gel will relax your new
growth so you won't have to apply a chemical relaxer to
your roots every 9 weeks and risk breakage.
Curlaway is the only product we know of that does not
contain harsh alkaline chemicals. It gradually relaxes hair
using very gentle, natural ingredients that are low in pH
(3.0). Your hair is perfectly safe using Curlaway to reduce
your curl gradually, add softness and make combing and styling
easy.
Curlaway Curl Relaxer is money-back guaranteed. If you
are not completely satisfied with Curlaway products, simply
return the jar or fax/mail us your receipt for a full refund.
Curlaway Curl Relaxer was developed to provide a safe and effective
way to semi-permanently straighten all types of curly hair. Your
hair gradually loses curl and, at the same rate, will gradually
recover curl once you stop using it.
The relaxing gel's patented formula is safe on skin and leaves your
hair softer, shinier, easier to comb and style, and as straight
or wavy as YOU like!
In two-five applications Curlaway Curl Relaxer turns tight curls
into S-curls and make hair respond quickly to a ceramic straightening
iron - "only 5-10 minutes to soft, straight hair", reports one happy
user. With continued use, S-curls become wavy curls and, eventually,
bouncy locks. The more you use Curlaway Curl Relaxer, the straighter
your hair becomes. Some prefer to use the gel as a leave-in overnight
treatment, others use it daily as a hair conditioner. But with either
method (or combining both) the process is gradual to assure that
your hair is never damaged! Be patient, it might take a couple of
weeks to notice results.
Curlaway products are safe to use on chemically-treated hair, included
straightened and permed hair, color-treated hair and bleached hair.
Curlaway Curl Relaxer straightens hair on a semi-permanent basis.
Relaxation lasts 3 to 8 weeks, depending on hair type.
"My hair is so silky, that its hard to believe that
it is really mine. Thank you so much for making so fine a product.
Regular chemical relaxers break my hair.... I would like to introduce
Curlaway Relaxer to my customers." Rita
Zorn & Associates, Grand Prairie, TX
"I am getting great results with Curlaway! I have very long
hair. Curlaway has really smoothed it out and removed the waves
and frizz." K.N., Ventura, CA

Curlaway-treated hair establishes it’s straighter "memory" during
the drying phase.
How to apply Curlaway: Dampen your hair for easiest application,
but you can also apply to dry hair – just harder to do. Add the
gel to hair and comb through. Pull hair straight and tie or pin
flat as possible. Cover hair with a bandana to keep gel moist. Wash
out gel with very warm water after 4 – 9 hours. Use favorite conditioner,
if desired. Towel dry and comb in your favorite leave-in conditioner/detangler
or a small amount (dime-size dollop) of Curlaway gel. Pull hair
straight again and blow or air-dry or pull straight in large rollers
and dry under a bonnet dryer. Repeat until hair is as relaxed as
desired.
For fastest results: Apply Curlaway Gel to wet or dry hair
and pull hair straight by tying up into ponytails, wrapping around
rollers or pressing hair flat with plastic clips. Leave gel on hair
3 to 9 hours (overnight). Rinse out, apply a very small amount of
Avocado Oil (from your grocery store) and a very small amount of
Curlaway (pea-size dollop) and dry hair, pulling hair straight into
ponytails or on large rollers, or blow-drying as hair is pulled
straight with a brush. Finish with a heat-styling tool or added
smoothness and shine. Repeat as frequently as every other day.

Curlaway or shampooing
For more gradual relaxation, maintenance and new growth:
Add a small amount of Curlaway Gel daily to roots or hair with the
palms of your hands and comb through.
Use on Men and Childrens Hair: The natural ingredients
in Curlaway will not break or damage your hair, or irritate your
scalp. Curlaway is safe to use on children's hair (under your supervision),
men's hair, and processed hair (color-enhanced, permed or straightened
hair). Remember that Curlaway's straightening properties are cumulative
- each time you use it, your hair becomes slightly straighter. This
is a gradual process, so do not expect dramatic relaxation after
the first application. By the sixth application, your curl will
be significantly relaxed and you can continue treatments for more
straightening, or keep the looser curls for a more "natural"
look.
You can se Curlaway as a leave-in relaxer using a light amount each
day. If you want a faster treatment, try flattening your hair with
a bandana or a baseball cap.
WARNING: Curlaway may be used on children's hair
by an adult. Do not allow children to apply the gel themselves.
Because Curlaway contains a natural plant acid, it is an eye irritant,
and children should be told to keep their hands away from the gel
to avoid accidental eye contact. Their hair should be wrapped in
plastic wrap followed by a bandana or ball cap to avoid any dripping
onto the face and particularly the eye area. If eye contact occurs,
flush eyes with cool water immediately.
Keeping your hair relaxed or returning to more curls: If
you stop using Curlaway, your hair will gradually revert to its
previous texture/curl. Your results are semi-permanent and your
hair will begin to re-curl in three to six weeks, depending on your
hair type and humidity levels. When you retreat your hair, you may
apply it to all parts of the hair, including those areas that were
already relaxed. You can re-apply Curlaway Curl Relaxer any time
you want less curl or frizz. The MSM (methylsulfonylmethane or dimethylsulfone)
in Curlaway and the grapeseed oil conditions your hair and improves
feel, shine and flexibility.
Use with other products and on previously-straightened hair:
Curlaway Curl Relaxer may be used before or after regular chemical
relaxers, or before or after hair coloring. Because hair types vary
and your hair may already be processed with a variety of chemicals
that can make it more porous, the right length of treatment time
for you may be a little more or less than described here. The more
porous your hair has become from prior chemicals and dyes, the faster
Curlaway will work. The use of Curlaway as a leave-in styling gel
is advised - apply a small amount to the palm of your hand, then
work through your hair and comb or brush in prior to drying hair.
If you prefer, you may also use any other styling gel after a Curlaway
treatment.
If you have any questions about Curlaway products, please contact
us at 800-368-6003 (Monday - Friday, Eastern Time). We welcome your
comments and suggestions.
Curlaway Curl Relaxer is money-back guaranteed. If you are
not completely satisfied with Curlaway products, simply call us
for a full refund.
Curlaway Curl Relaxer breaks hydrogen bonds in the keratin protein
of your hair, not S-S bonds like conventional, high-pH relaxers.
The effect is cumulative – the more you use Curlaway gel, the straighter
your hair becomes. Stop using the products whenever you are happy
with the texture of your hair. Restart the treatment when your hair
starts to recurl, or if summer humidity calls for more control.
On African-American hair, the result is a successful “touch-up” of
chemically-relaxed hair, or hair that is softer, easier to comb and
amazingly responsive to flat irons, heat curlers or wands, eventually
eliminating the need for chemical relaxation to get the look you want.

"I am Hispanic and between two races. I don't have kinky
hair but still very curly, even more since I have been using
chemical relaxers on it, (almost 20 years), and now it is
really damaged. I'm programming to grow my natural hair
and started using Curlaway a week ago when I found out about
this product. I'm glad to say that, even though my hair
is still curly, because I have just used Curlaway twice,
there is a real change in it. I can comb my hair easier
than ever before and now, even the ends, (chemically treated),
are becoming healthy. The breakage now is minimun. I would
like to have the product sold everywhere. Thanks Curlaway!!!!!!!!!!"

"I am amazed how Curlaway has transformed my hair. It took
about three applications for my hair to get to the texture
that I wanted but it was worth it. I usually do one application
per week to get the most out of the product but I highly
recommend using it. There is a strong scent with the product
but trust me it is worth it and everyone love the way my
hair looks." By email, 07-30-08

how my hair is and how its changing. Iv dreamt of haveing
the so called [pretty hair] and now by the end of the month
ill have the wavey shiney look that iv always wanted.Ill

to use a little at a time] i use it when my hair is wet,

"I absolutely am in love this product! No more chemical
relaxers for me. Yes it will take some time to see the difference
but take my word that its worth the wait. My new growth
is the softest is has ever been and my hair all over feels
stronger looks healthier and is resistant to humidity. Flat
ironing my hair has become so simple I don't even go to
the hair dressor anymore. I just ordered two more.... Can't

all my relaxed friends about this product.Thank you curlaway

"…My hair has been damaged badly by use of chemical relaxers
(and going to beauticians) but, I will not let it get me
down….. I tried Curlaway on 5/27/2008…and allowed it to
stay on about 3 hours… and the results are truly a blessing.
I roller set my hair after rinsing it out and it is so beautiful
and bouncey and not frizzy and it is not dry…. I can't wait
to see what will happen when I leave it on over night. This
product is God sent through by the lady that patented it….
P.S. I forgot to add that with the Curlaway relaxer there
is no mixing and it can be applied from the jar with the
hands no gloves are necessary at all." K.

"I
cut of all my hair last year and decided to go natural. After
about 8 months I was fed up of wearing extensions and wigs.
I was about to relax my hair again so that I can wear more
hair styles. But I saw the natural relaxer and decided to
order it. I have only used it twice I have slept with it on
all night. But I put a shower cap on before my head scarf
so my pillow case does not get messy. My hair is as straight
as when I relaxed it and it feels really soft. I blow dried
it and use a ceramic straightener. I am so happy with the
results I will be ordering more. This is definitely good for
people who do not want to put chemicals on their hair. Because
I have found [Curlaway] I will be staying natural after all.
I just wish they sold it in bigger containers." Kelly O., United Kingdom. Posted on

"Curlaway is great because it works! I now realize that
I have good hair and needed a product to work with my hair.
I am African American and my hair is very thick. Curlaway
has given something no other product has given… I can wear
my hair curly or straight, which looks silky. Currently,
I am using straight to transition, but I plan on shocking
my friends, by being the first black girl on the block with
natural curly hair that does not dry into a afro :) Curlaway
has allow[ed] my hair to grow without breakage. It is true
that Curlaway takes time, but the results are amazing. My
co-workers …said "It look[s] healthy"….Thank you Xenna Corp…."

"This is my second time ordering Curlaway. I must say that
when I read the stories online I was so skeptical. I didn't
believe it until I used it. "Oh my God" I was so pleased.
I can't believe that this is my hair without a relaxer.
It has totally and completely transformed my hair. My hair
is soft, smooth, detangles with little or no effort. I never
felt this way with a relaxer. I always felt that my hair
was thinned out after a chemical relaxer. I am living proof
that It works. I am relaxer free for 16 weeks now and loving
it. Thank you so much Curlaway. I wish it was in more stores
like Wal-mart or something." Sharifah,

"I'm using Curlaway again and I'm pleased to find the formula
had much less of a strong odor, which is wonderful.... Curlaway
reduces my frizz and my breakage, and my hair feels healthier....
I think you are really onto something with this product

even more then you will have achieved the Holy Grail of
a natural and gentle hair relaxer. Thank you for creating
this product!" By email 02-28-08
"I've tried a lot of different things to help make my natural
hair (African American) hair more manageable and this is
the best of them all. I've been chemical free now for over
3 years and this stuff really does help make the hair softer
and more manageable. It does have a very strong smell but
to me its a small price to pay if it helps me stay away
from chemicals. Its a bit pricey for such a small jar. My
hair uses an entire jar, but if you have shorter hair, one
jar may last you for 2 or three uses…. Just keep in mind
that the effectiveness increases with each use, but I did
see a noticeable difference after the first use." 01-03-08
"Anyone looking for a non chemical hair relaxer should
really give this product consideration. I have been using
it for over 8 months now and my hair is fabulous. For many
years I had short spots in the back where my hair had broken
off from using chemical relaxers but since using Curlaway
my hair has grown out to one length...and that is amazing.
It's very important to follow ALL the directions as printed
and allow the time to reach desired results" 08-13-07
"I have had a perm on my hair for about 38 years. My hair
has been damaged badly by use of chemical relaxers (and
going to beauticians) but, I will not let it get me down….
Over the years my hair is not thick as it should be from
the use of chemicals. I tried Curlaway on 5/27/2008 at around
4pm and allowed it to stay on about 3 hours due to having
to get prepared for work on Wednesday and the results are
truly a blessing. I roller set my hair after rinsing it
out and it is so beautiful and bouncey and not frizzy and
it is not dry. I can't wait to see what will happen when
I leave it on over night. This product is God sent through
by the lady that patented it. I will never go back to a
chemical relaxer. I'm going to go today and get another
jar from Walgreen's because they only had 3 on the shelf.
Thanks be to the Holy Trinity for directing me on line to
this product.

"I will be a Curlaway user for life. I tried it on top
of my bleached hair (YES BLEACHED) and living in the humid
climate of Florida, and to my pleasent surprise I look hot.
My hair is in better condition after a single use than it
was before the Curlaway relaxer. My hair is very coarse,
thick, and hard to manage and any relaxer, lye or non lye
would cause breakage. I was at the point of cutting it off,
because after letting it grow out, the hot comb, or flat
iron just would not keep it straight. After doing my hair
I went to the gym and worked out, yes, perspiration all
in my head, and my hair still looks very fantastic. I plan
to continue using the product for even better and longer
lasting results. This stuff is MAGIC I would not lie to
you. I'm so impressed I'm writting a testimonial something
I've NEVER done for any product the entire 48 years of my
life so it must be good. When I initially applied the product
there was an instant change as I combed it through. I went
from hardly being able to pull the comb through my hair
to where I felt I the hair relax and become silken and that's
how simple it was. I would recommend this product to any
one, especially the skeptic.....IT REALLY WORKS!" Arlene,

"I am really impressed with this product! I was very skeptical
at first [and] researched Curlaway for a couple of months.
I love it, love it, love it!!! I have told both my sisters
and my niece about it and they are going to try it also.
The results are cumulative and at this rate with my hair
looking so healthy and fabulous, I will not go back to a
conventional relaxer. For any African-American women reading
this, I do not have hair of mixed heritage, it is of the
normal African stock, very coiled. I apply it like a relaxer
(apply to new growth) and leave it on up to 9 hrs. Sometimes
I use a dab after washing and conditioning for extra shine
and gloss for the blow dry. I'm really happy with this product.
The best piece of advice I can give when using this is to
be patient, it will not create a miracle overnight but overtime,
the miracle will happen.
I have been there and back with my hair and it is promising
to know that someone is still researching alternatives for
relaxing hair that do not involve harsh chemicals. I wish
your company much success and I will recruit as many devotees
as possible. I would be honored if you choose to use anything
I've written. " G. G-G., Lyndhurst,

"I've tried a couple of Curlaway treatments on my hair.
The first time I left it on for 13 hours and the 2nd time
I left it on for 10.5 hours. Although it's still a little
wavy I can tell it's working. My hair feels so silky now.
I do want to comment on the smell. Why don't you offer a
fragrance free formula.... is it possible that you will
come up with a formula with no fragrance?" By

"Hey all... I just wanted to rave about this product that
I have been using for about a week by Xenna Corp called
Curlaway. The product is a gentle curl relaxer that reduces
frizz and curl over time with continued use. It's safe for
all hair types and is suitable for use over previously processed
hair of any kind.
I got mine through Walgreen's (I had them special order
it!) and have applied it to my hair every other day as a
leave in conditioner (with aloe vera gel). The results are
gradual but they are already starting to show. My hair is
slowly taking form from the frizz (lots of previous damage)
and my new growth and natural hair has lots of shine and
smoothness to it once applied and rinsed out. No burning,
but the smell is like vinegar and green apples... It's strong
but it's not too much of a bother.
Just so you guys know I have 4a strands which range from
pen diameter to very tiny super coffee stirrer diameter....
and I have used all types of texturizers and colors before.
I like this product because I can sleep with it in my hair,
and my hair does seem to have improvement.
I'll post pics when I see more noticeable progress!" Posted

"I have relaxed Black hair with 2 inches of new growth.
After using Curlaway I will never put another chemical relaxer
on my hair again. Your directions say Curlaway will take
several applications, but I have great results after only
ONE application. I left it on 18 hours and actually did
not rinse it out. Even my new growth looks good! Here’s
how I do it: I condition my hair, then wash my hair, then
apply Curlaway Gel and pull my hair into 2 ponytails and
cover it with a scarf. Then I go to bed and leave it on
through the next day. My hair looks great and NO frizz.

"Posted on Walgreens.com: I'm up to my second jar of Curlaway;
I've mastered applying the gel and making sure I have the
room well vented. My hair has grown with this product; it's
healthier, feels glossier and has less frizz and breakage.
I have very tight kinky hair pattern, but in the back it's
a tiny bit looser, so that is where I can see the greatest
change. But it's getting there; I apply it once a week for
up to 4 hours. I don't recommend sleeping in the gel, the
smell is very vinegary and it can be messy. But it doesn't
burn or strip my hands or my hair; I put it on with bare
hands. This product does provide gradual relaxing, but for
me the bigger change is my hair has been stronger, easier
to comb and is finally, finally growing." Remy,
Willingboro, NJ 5/23/07
"I have used Curlaway for a while now and I am really impressed
with it. I am interested in marketing this product in the
UK. I currently market natural personal products through
exhibitions and word of mouth and only market what I am
convinced works. … My passion is really to encourage as
many women as possible to avoid dangerous chemicals. " B.

"Thank you for such a wonderful hair product. I am a white
female and just had a perm put in. The stylist didn't listen
and I ended up with tight curls and I already have thick
hair to begin with. I was looking on the internet to find
something and ran across your product. This product really
does do what it says. My hair has never been this soft and
manageable. The smell is pretty stinky-but totally worth
it!!! Thanks again for a great product. Let Sally Beauty
sell your products-People need to know about this stuff!!!!"

"I am using your product, Curl Away, for the first time.
I am absolutely amazed!! My hair has never felt so smooth
and looked so healthy. Honestly, I never thought a relaxer
could produce such a wonderful result! I know the directions
say you will not see any change after the first application,
but I certainly did! You have an awesome product. I have
recommended it to several family members. " R.

it works. My hair is so shiny and smooth my styling time

"Hi, I used your Curlaway product for the first time and
absolutely love it. Tell me more about the creator of Curlaway.
Who is Ian Charles. I have tried tons of haircare products

product. But I am so glad that I did." T.

"I really like Curlaway! I got a perm a while ago and needed
to do something. I saw Curlaway at a beauty supply store,
thought I’d try it and saw the difference right away. Curlaway
actually does work! I’ve been telling people about it and
my cousin and aunt are using Curlaway and got the same results
I did. I am in college and plan to be a doctor, so I read
up on how Curlaway works and the way it changes keratin
protein actually makes sense." J.
C., New York, New York
"I have been using curlaway for about 6 months now, and
I must say, my review and impressions are A plus. My hair
is curly, but not very, cos it responds to ironing rather
quickly: after 5 minutes. I leave curlaway as leave in conditioner
and do not blow dry it (as someone else wrote)- and voila!
Straight hair." As posted on Topbeautycare.com

"I love Curlaway!! The best part for me is that I can color
my hair and have it relaxed at the same time. I want to
go lighter and with Curlaway I can! I am ordering several
jars and recommending Curlaway to my sister for my niece
who is 5 years old." S. H., Irvington,

"This product works! I hadn't used a chemical relaxer for
a year when I started using Curlaway. Now my hair is straight,
except for one section which is still a little curly and
needs more treatments. I also used it on my daughter's tighter
curls, then styled it with a flat iron and her hair was
smooth all week, even when it rained. That's the first time
this has happened! I prefer to shampoo at night, apply Curlaway
and pull my hair straight with scrunchies, then rinse out,
condition, blow dry and flat iron in the morning." D.
P. Canton, MI
"I just wanted to chime in with everyone else and
say your product is fantastic, however it was not until
I received your recent printed instructions in my order
that I was able to understand the process I needed to follow.
My hair is of African American texture with tight curls
so I fully understood your process might take some time
to work as opposed to the current chemical products on the
market….. The most important part of those
instructions for me and what made an incredible difference
in my hair was: "Curlaway-treated hair establishes
it’s straighter "memory" during the drying phase..."
Well that explained the basis of my problems and the corrective
steps I needed to take in my personal application process.….
those few added instructions made all the difference in
the world to me and to the success of using your product
on my hair. Thank You so much for providing such a superior
product." L from Texas
"With regular relaxers you can't get your hair to take
a curl when you want one. Using Curlaway is like night and
day! I get the natural look I want - loose curls - and my
hair doesn't break or fall out. I found that after a few
treatments using the daily leave-in method really makes
a difference. This is the product everyone wants." Ms.W.

"My daughter used Curlaway and loved it, then her friends
tried it and THEY loved it. So now I’m ordering Curlaway
for myself!" Y. T., Palmdale, CA
"This really works!! It totally loosened my curls to 3c.
I was so impressed I posted a comment on their website."

This is what I needed. Thank you, Xenna!" Review

"I am a believer!!! I used a product called Jerlon (years
ago) with similar results. The company went under and I
had to return to relaxers. Within the last year, my hair
became extremely damaged and broke off in chunks. I declared
war and vowed never to use another relaxer. Because I started
to have new growth, my hair became difficult to manage.
I read and reread the testimonials along with talking to
customer service about Curlaway. Customer service was the
deciding factor in me trying Curlaway. Not only was the
person I spoke to professional, she knew the facts about
the product, and she too is a user. The product does what
it promises and much more!!!! I am on my way back to a head
of healthier, softer, and shinier hair. Yes, it's straight
and I am completely satisfied!!! (African American Hair)

"I had to stop relaxing my hair about a year ago due to
over processing (coloring and relaxing 20+ years) after
years of abuse my hair was thinning. I now just color my
hair every 6 to 8 weeks. I have been searching for a long
time now for a product that would safely and without damage
relax the curls in my hair. I did my first over-night treatment
last night with Curlaway, after I colored my hair. In the
morning, I rinsed out the product and added my own conditioner
as instructed. Immediately, I felt the difference in my
hair, it was softer and easier to comb. I was able to blow-dry
and flat-iron my hair in under an hour (prior to using this
product it used to take me 1 hour and 45 minutes plus).
I noticed too that my hair responded much better to the
flat-iron. My hair is now silkier and shiner (even better
than when I used to relax it with those harsh chemical relaxers).
I am so looking forward to seeing how my hair reacts after
my next set of treatments. I am truly amazed by the results
of your product so far." Posted on

"Being reversible makes Curlaway fantastic! I don’t have
to worry about waiting for too-straight, too flat hair to
grow out! I have thick, hard-to-manage hair and I like the
way Curlaway gently relaxes my hair. When I used traditional
relaxers my hair were get brittle and break easily. Plus,
if they left the lye or no- lye cream on too long, my scalp
would burn. I’ll never go back to them. Thanks for developing
a great product! " D.W., Long Island,

"I love, Absolutely love this product. I'm African American,
Female, 45 years old. I ordered Curlaway for the first time
about two months ago. I like to wear my hair in a wash &
go fashion. Curlaway has provided me with a smooth silky
texture as if I have jerri curls or really nice curly hair
(which I don't). Everyone, at work says they love my hair
and so do I. Recently, about two-weeks ago, I started using
the product on my 11-year old daughter's hair. I love the
feel of her hair with curlaway. Her hair is down her back
smooth & silky. Did I mention we both have natural hair.
Now I can blow dry her hair straight with out using a pressing
comb or flat iron. I continue to wear mine in a medium curly
fro. I love not having to use chemicals on my hair this
is the way I want my hair to look and feel. Thanks for a
great product! Loving my hair from Detroit, MI." Posted

"I was very glad to see you reduced the price on Curlaway!!
I had stocked up around Xmas time because it was on sale
and actually bought one as a gift for my cousin who has
the same textured hair as me.... I kept kicking myself for
not ordering more when it was on sale.... My hair is very
thick and long and 1 jar doesn't go too far! Please keep
the price affordable! This is the only product works for
me!!! Thanks!" Bev
"Curlaway is wonderful! It has literally changed my life.
Now I like who I am and am happy to look in the mirror!
I use Curlaway everyday as a relaxing conditioner and once
a month as an overnight treatment. I get complements on
my hair all the time! And the price for Curlaway is unbelievable
for what you get. Affordable for everyone! You definitely
have a HOT product – my hair is soft, shiny and silky!"

"I want to encourage anyone thinking about trying this
product to DO IT! It really, really works. I am of African-American
and Japanese descent and my hair is tightly curled. I have
chemically straightened my hair since the age of 13 years
(I am now 46 years old). I got into trouble by applying
double chemicals because I started highlighting as well
as straightening my hair and boy did it fry! Well, I knew
I had to let my hair have a break from both chemicals so
I tried the gel.... I really cannot tell you the difference
these products made. I no longer have to apply straightener
and my hair is healthy looking again. What a life saver!
The price is a little pricey but not compared to having
healthy looking hair again! This is worth every penny. TRY
THIS PRODUCT - you will love it!!!! I am on my third order
today and I normally do not respond to testimonials for
products UNLESS I SEE RESULTS! You will see results too
- guaranteed. Love this stuff!!!" Marie

"I’ve used Curlaway for six months. My hair is STRAIGHT.
This is such a great product it should be at retail! For
the first couple of months I didn’t see a big change, but
then WOW! I’m really happy! Curlaway is a miracle worker!
The secret is to know how to use it. Here’s what I do: I
apply a heavy coat 3 times a week at night then comb my
hair straight then cover it with a bandana. In the morning
I apply a small amount of Curlaway and comb my hair straight
again and goes STRAIGHT. If I want some waves, I just don’t
comb it in the morning. Now I can do whatever I want with
my hair, but I love it STRAIGHT.... I hope it’s always available
and NEVER discontinued." F.L., New
York, NY
"Although I have yet to see a change in the amount of curl
(I'm not too coordinated with wrapping around rollers),
I tried the overnight treatment putting my hair in a tight
braid to experiment. I have hated my hair for as long as
I can remember. This morning I was thrilled with what I
saw - completely manageable, soft, shiny, non- frizzy hair.
Even if my hair doesn't relax (I've been told by so many
stylist that my hair will not straighten with anything but
I'm not losing hope), the reduction in frizz makes this
product worth every cent and more. I had co-workers wanting
to come up and touch my hair and I have been able to wear
it down for the first time in so long." SM,

"I just started using the Curlaway hair relaxer and my
hair feels great! I am an African American woman and my
hair is very nappy. Is it still possible for my hair to
be straight with Curlaway? If so, how many treatment applications
would I have to do? [Answer: It will take about 25 overnight
applications for your type of hair to straighten completely
using Curlaway Gel.]" Maggie (by email)
"The only product I ever found that encouraged overlapping
was Curlaway (http://xenna.com/product_curlaway.html). I
use it over my Phtyo in the summer when humidity is highest.
I love the stuff. But it's not cheap and when I tried to
use it on my virgin hair it took a billion applications
to change the curl pattern. But the very first application
made it shiny and easier to comb. "
"I would like to thank you for making a product that relaxes
my tight curls and doesn't have harsh chemicals.... My hair
feels so soft and strong now, I can't believe it. I usually

the results are phenomenal--it refreshes an old relaxer

I obviously need to use a few times to get the desired effect."
A.B., Brooklyn, NY
"I just wanted something to tame my very curly hair
and Curlaway is working! I also want to pass on a few suggestions
for how best to use it. I found that pulling my hair into
two ponytails and then wrapping the “tail” end around large
Velcro rollers and pulling them up to the top of my head
is the best way to get tight curls straight while the gel
is on. I also spritz my hair with water when the gel starts
to dry under my bandana Finally, if you need to use any
clips, use plastic rather than metal ones. " J.G.,
Worthington, OH
"I ordered Curlaway to loosen my 4b hair, not to
straighten it. The directions said to keep it in for up
to 9 hours but I did just 2 hrs. When I combed in the gel...I
noticed a difference right away. Now my hair is exactly
the way I wanted it. Woooo Hoooo. I totally recommend it.
If you want straight hair you've got to keep it in longer
then blow dry and/or flat iron. This stuff is awesome. "

"When my hairdresser said, “I’ve never seen your
hair in such good condition as it is right now” I knew that
that only thing I’d done differently is use Curlaway Gel.
Then she showed me how smooth and long my hair was in the
back where there used to be uneven, dry ends. All the credit
goes to Curlaway! " C.B., Princeton,

"After using Curlaway for two nights, I got my hair stick-straight
in just 30 minutes. It used to take me 1 1/2 hours to blow-dry
and flat-iron. Curlaway is amazing!" M.
H., Indianapolis, IN
"I tried your Curlaway …and then I hit on something
I wish to share with you. I applied the product sparingly
after washing and conditioning my hair. I pulled it back
into a pony tail and then I set the pony tail with four
velcro 2.5 inch rollers - hair came out great. Velcro also
makes 3 inch rollers. Up to that point I could not find
a way to "wrap hair" as you recommended - rather tricky
for those who are not adept at "hair wrapping" or have not
done it before (my case). Using these giant rollers so easy
and made such a difference in the effectiveness of your
product that I would recommend you buy the velcro rollers
wholesale and sell them on your site along with the Curlaway….
There is no pulling or catching of the hair on the unrolling
process - they come off smoothly and without any hair loss.
The final result was silky hair, which still had body. In
its natural state, my hair is extremely frizzy. I am 55
and in all my life I have never seen a Caucasian individual
with frizzier or bushier hair than what I have - some are
equal but I am as extreme as it gets. Before I used the
rollers with your product the ponytail was always frizzy
while the front part of my hair (pulled back straight) was
relatively smooth. Now with the rollers, the whole head
is fine. " SES, Boston, MA
"Since using Curlaway my hair is silky, silky soft.
I am a fashion model and must tell you this story. I just
auditioned at QVC to be a hair model and the casting director
said, "We could sell just about anything with your
hair." The last time I auditioned for them, he didn't
like me because my hair was too curly. This time he kept
running his fingers through my hair and the model next to
me complained that he didn't even look at her hair. I think
Curlaway Gel will do very well, especially in the Hispanic
market. They will love it!" E.B.,
Hamilton, NJ
"This is my third jar and I just love it! It is amazing.
I have been using it since October, leaving it in my hair
for several hours before I shampoo once a week. My hair
has never been so soft and silky! I usually wear it down
and use my daughter’s flat iron to smooth it completely.
I have been telling all my friends and gave a jar away.
You should put Curlaway in beauty supply stores soon! This
is the kind of product everyone with African American hair
wants." B. D., Rahway, NJ
"Curlaway is a really good product.... Curlaway ... leaves
my hair shiny and natural-looking. All I can say is you

E., Simi Valley, CA
"I still had one jar of Curlaway left from my last order
and used it for a 9-hour treatment Monday night. Because
my hair is shoulder length, I think I can get away with
using a jar and a half at this point. One jar isn't quite
enough. Boy, did it make a difference!" A.A.,
by email
"I have been using Curlaway for about 18 months with good
results. I only tried the heavy application once...but didn't
see much of a difference. Then I read the suggestion to
use it as a leave-in conditioner-straightener, and it worked
great! My hair responds quickly to a ceramic straightening
iron - only 5-10 minutes to soft straight hair. Also, using
it as a leave-in product really extends the time between
purchases - I get at least six months from a jar. Be patient,
it might take a couple of weeks to notice results." KS,

"Both Curlaway products together are wonderful. Great
results. Thanks so much!" D.L., Westborough,

"Before using, my hair was hugely frizzy, damaged, and
somewhat wavy, not curly. I've used it twice, once for 3
hours and once overnight. The overnight method was easier
because I was asleep, so it didn't annoy me to have a cap
on my head. My results are shiny, bouncy, frizz-free hair--not
straight, but it has relaxed some of my weird wave bumps.
I used it as an alternative to a conventional hair straightener/relaxer.
I've stopped coloring my hair and don't want to damage it
any more, now that the new growth is shiny and healthy.
Even though Curlaway is expensive, I feel that it's worth
it because it's effective but hasn't damaged my hair at
all. It has a strong green-apple smell and can sting hands
if you have a cut, similar to lime juice, but you don't
need to use gloves to apply it. " by

"Curlaway was amazing. Had to use just a little of it.
Actually, it was amazingly good. " C.

"Guess what! DO NOT blow dry hair if you want it to look
like Asian Straight. For this look, you must use velcro
rollers when totally wet, dry under dryer until bone dry,
then flat iron with a little blow-dry product. The hair
will look Chinese straight for a week...even better after
3 days!" D. M., US Army
"My first impression after using Curlaway was that I'm
very excited! My hair is more relaxed after the first application
(overnight) and two people told me that my hair really looks
good today. I can definitely see a difference!." L.P.

"I like Curlaway because it’s a whole lot easier to style
my hair. It’s quick, fast and easier to comb through. After
using Curlaway the curls are more defined after using gel.
The smell is terrific and you can see a really big difference
after the first use in the texture of your hair. Curlaway
is great for African-American hair because our hair is denser
and it makes it much smoother and easier to comb through.
Curlaway is really cool! A.D., Trenton,

of Curlaway last night/this morning. My hair is almost stick

Vancouver, BC
"I did my hair with Curlaway the night before prior to
going to my hairstylist, whom I hadn't seen in a long while.
It's a well-known curly hair only salon. They get angry
if one shows up with straight hair. Well, I showed up this
time, to get a haircut, as they are well known in the industry
to be curly hair mavens, or, the Queen of Curl, as the owner
is known. I was afraid to go, but I needed to splurge on
a good cut in time for the inevitable "summer-time-humid-weather-big-frizz-hair."
They are masters of the curl and do a wonderful job with
cuts.
I didn't realize how straight the Curlaway had made my hair!
Vincent, my stylist, was reprimanding me … because I showed
up with stick straight wet hair. I'd done the overnight
process and washed out any tell-tale signs. When he finished
the cut, he put me under heat lamps, and then an assistant
completed drying with a diffuser. All the while, Vincent
good-naturedly berated me … because there was no curl left
in the hair. That's how straight my hair was. Everyone else
around me had curly hair and I felt like a traitor, I couldn't
say too much. Alas, I can only afford them once or twice
a year, but, I am afraid to go there with bone straight
hair. I am of mixed African and Portuguese ancestry and
have Latina type, but more tightly coiled hair. Mom has
Indian texture, loosely curled Botticelli-like hair.
When he was styling it after it had dried and saw the results,
even Vincent was evidently surprised and said, "Oh, look,
your hair has come back from the dead. It is a miracle,
we performed a miracle! It's very soft. You know, you actually
have very nice hair texture, you just have to learn to deal
with the curl and leave it alone." Well, I have to tell
you, my hair is so soft and shiny, I kept wondering what
he'd done to it. I kept looking at it, and trying not to
touch it too much, (one is not supposed to break the curl
pattern by running fingers into it wet or dry, this is when
one gets frizz-Vincent's mantra!) It wasn't until yesterday
while touching it (bad fingers, bad!) that I realized I
had done the Curlaway relaxer! My long hair had dried to
a nice bouncy, elongated curl pattern and I only truly realized
two days later, it was the Curlaway!!! He didn't do too
much to it besides washing it, conditioning it and giving
it a good hair cut, and yes, using the expensive products,
which I have at home, but never get the same results from.
Hence, the lesson on technique. However, the smooth texture
and shine came from the Curlaway!!!
I have to do the roots with more Curlaway, because they
are still a bit unruly, and I'd like to stretch the curl
more on top, and I may need to do the roots a few more times
to achieve the total look I want.... for this summer, I
am using only Curlaway and my sisters are as well!… My hair
is now similar to my mom's smoother, shiny texture!!! Unbelievable!
If I get a picture, I will send it to you, but only a side
view, because I don't want Vincent to ban me from the salon
if he found out it was all due to Curlaway at a fraction
of their cost!!!" A.B., New York City
