Only Curls brand - any good?

Has anyone tried products by Only Curls and do you rate them? Are they in any way superior to high street products?

FYI, my current routine is:
As I Am co wash
Noughty hair mask as conditioner (squish to condish)
Shea moisture curl activating cream (praying hands in upside down hair)
Shockwaves gel (scrunched into upside down hair)

Rolled up into a t shirt to dry for 45 mins, then air dried until crunchy, then scrunched out for full on curl action. I do this twice a week with day 4 hair generally put into a low bun.

I’m tempted by the Only Curls mister to revive day 3/4 curls, as all the misting bottles I’ve bought have been utter shite. And is the cleanser any good?

Forgot to add, I have type 3b or c (depending on definition!) curls that sit at shoulder length.

I thought they were rubbish! I like Trepadora (££). Or I use Cantu plus curly jelly if I'm not feeling flush!

Bought a starter set for a friend and am sick of the emails and texts. She didn’t really say a lot when I asked how she found it so I’d assume not worth the money?

I've got very thick 2C, so a mix of curls and waves.
It didn't work for my hair at all. The gel definitely isn't strong enough. Smells nice though.

I really like the Only Curls products, my curls are looking great. I use the styling products more than the washing and conditioning products.

I'm enjoying my OC starter set, came two weeks ago.

It's expensive. £50 for 4x100 ml bottles, microfibre towel and at the time a free very pretty wide tooth pink sparkly comb.

I find I use about half the shampoo I would for a high street brand.

Also think I was using too much of the curl creams as my hair was drying like crunchy old fashioned telephone cables!

The towel is very nice, it buttons on.

Good definition and softness and I find myself admiring and floofing the ringlets everyone I pass a mirror ...

I wonder if I'm getting good results just because I'm doing all the faff, tho?

Combing and squish to condish, then plop and squish for curl formation, then curl creams, then button into the towel...

I'm pleased but yes it's pricey.

I’ve tried all of their products on my DS and the only one I have re-purchased is the mousse. The gel, shampoo and conditioner were very mediocre.
