Product Review-Ebonnet by EboniCurls

A few weeks ago I posted on my Instagram and Facebook pages that I had finally purchased my first Ebonnet by EboniCurls and shortly after receiving it I expressed how after just a couple of days I was already in love with the product. Well, I'm happy to report that I'm still loving my bonnet, probably more now than I did before! I first learned about these handmade Charmeuse Satin bonnets when my sister and kurlfriend Janeen aka CoilyHeadChick did a review on her YouTube channel. I must admit that my initial thought was that the bonnets were expensive. I even told Janeen it was going to take some strong convincing to get me to buy one. I saw a few other reviews and every video I watched was a positive one. I happened to stumble upon the video Eboni did to explain the difference between her bonnets and the bonnets purchased at local beauty supply stores. After watching it I was convinced and made up my mind that I would purchase one. 


A little over a year ago I stopped wearing my bonnet and just slept on satin pillow cases because I noticed that my hair would feel and look dry after sleeping in the "satin" bonnets that I purchased from the beauty supply store. One of the first things I was told I needed as a natural was a bonnet, everyone swore by them so I was so confused when I felt like the beloved bonnet was working against my natural hair. I began searching natural hair forums to see if anyone else was experiencing the dryness that I was and was surprised that there were several naturalistas who were going through the same thing and that is when I gave up on the BSS bonnets.

Given my past with bonnets I was a little leery about wearing one again but I must say that I am so happy I gave this one a try. Upon receiving my Ebonnet in the mail the first thing I noticed was how well it is made. I could tell immediately that with proper care it will last me a while unlike the bonnets you purchase from the beauty supply stores. That alone makes the Ebonnet worth the money so any other benefits are a bonus. I have been wearing my Ebonnet every night since I received it and the way it keeps my hair moisturized is amazing. I still moisturize and seal my ends every day but the rest of my hair has not needed to be re-moisturized. This is a bonus for me because that means I don't need to add more product to my hair which allows me to wear light, fluffy twist outs that I love. The final thing that I would say I love the most about the Ebonnet is the size. It is so spacious making it perfect for any afro. The true test for me was wearing the bonnet to bed without re-twisting my hair. The bonnet is big enough that it protects my hair without smashing it so my fro does not lose its shape. I love that I can save so much time on styling my hair. I can take off my Ebonnet, spritz my ends with water, seal with an oil, shake, and go! 

Overall I am so impressed with the Ebonnet and definitely plan to buy more. I honestly don't have anything bad to say about it. On a scale of 1-5 it is definitely a 5 and I would recommend it to anyone! 

In addition to the bonnets Eboni makes and sells scarves, pillow cases, and scrunchies. All of her items can be purchased from her Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ebonicurls. While there are a lot of bonnets out there, there is only ONE Ebonnet so please make sure you all are getting the real deal!!

  2. I would love to win! I would greatly benefit from the Ebonnet, because it's so hard to find bonnets that are actually SATIN and that are big enough for all my hair.

  3. This would be awesome for me. I'm expecting a baby and due in January and I know I will not have time to do much to my hair at all. So this will be perfect to keep my styles protected from the sleep I hope ill be able to get. :)

  4. I would benefit from the ebonnet if I won because it would help me with my nightly moisturizing routine and hopefully if it is as good as the reviews, it will help me continue on my path to healthy and moisturized hair. I have been using the bss "satin" bonnets for awhile now and have recently started noticing that my hair does seem to be a little on the dry side in the mornings instead of moisturized and therefore I have to repeat my routine in the mornings instead of being able to get up and go. I feel the ebonnet would help reduce time I spent getting ready in the mornings and I could just get up, shake my hair out and go into my day being a fierce natural diva!

  6. I would benefit from this Ebonnet because my hair desperately needs it!! my hair has gotten to big to fit in the regular Satin Bonnets. I have heard AMAZING reviews from customers including Eve. Every month I try to purchase via her Etsy store, but have been unsuccessful. Plus what better christmas gift than winning this contest?!! :)

  10. I'm always open to trying new things. Red is one of my favorite colors. Zebra prints are always fashionable, even asleep. My daughter adores Minnie Mouse. So the Minnie Mouse pillowcase would be perfect for her. It would help me encourage her to learn to take care of her hair, early on. All three would be beneficial and used.
