Excellent

I have used a lot of creams on my long, curly hair. This one is one of the best. It stands alone great, or with gel afterwards. It calms the frizz and softens my hair. The scent is just right, not too strong, but it smells good.

Frizz free bouncy curls

Use on soaking wet hair, helps to define curls really well. My hair air dries a little frizzy but using a diffuser no frizz at all with this product. It gives a good shine even on hair super damaged from using a flat iron everyday. Also a little amount goes a long way. One bottle lasts for a while.

Better than Cantu, been searching for similar.

Great product, have been looking for something light to hold the moisture in my hair. Cantu is very thick and this is a great alternative.

very heavy. Not for thin, fine irish curls. Definitely builds up in hair as well. Shampooing multiple times does not remove residue.

Got this for my sister for Christmas who has curly hair but no real products yet. She figured out her gifts early and she is SO excited! We have heard so many good things.

Weird smell

Sticky and messy. Doesn't provide much moisture. It also stinks. Overpriced for what it is.

Hate to say it but the scent ruined it for me…

Disappointed with the scent. I love the smell of the curl defining line but this smelled horrible to me. I couldn’t use it

This product is a must-try for anyone with curly hair! My daughter’s curls were unmanageable before, but now they’re soft, defined, and easy to style. I often recommend it to young girls who are still figuring out how to work with their natural curls.

Terrible

Does not define my curls/waves. Tried different amounts. Makes my hair very dry and flat. My hair is more frizzy with the creme. I do not reccomend at all. Returning product to the store.

Brought my natural waves back

My hair is naturally wavy but it is damaged from bleach and doesn’t dry as curly as it used to. I scrunched this into my wet hair and my waves are back to normal. There is no crunchy residue either.

HG Curl Cream!

I am post menopausal, color my hair, and swim, a lot. So basically a recipe for super dry hair. I love this curl cream! After years of dealing with frizzy, dry curls, this product created beautiful spirals with shine, hydration, and bounce. I've never received so many "your hair looks great" compliments as I have with this product. HG for me.

Frizzy and Heavy

Left me with definition for a couple of hours and then it was frizzy and stringy. Not for bleached curls. Felt very heavy and left my hair flat like I didn’t have anything in it after 2 hours. Very drying.
