Description
Bumble and bumble Curl Defining Styling Cream is a rich curl cream, formulated for medium to thick hair, that allows you to shape, style, and define curls with movement. Enhanced with a rich blend of curl-loving butters and oils, it also reduces frizz, leaves hair shiny, and provides soft hold.
This curl cream is enhanced with a rich blend of avocado, coconut, and jojoba oils and shea and cocoa butters to deeply moisturize curly hair. Plus, it contains UV filters that help protect against the drying effects of the sun.
Blend of Oils (Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Jojoba Oil)-Deeply hydrates hair.
Blend of Butters (Cocao Butter and Shea Butter)-Deeply hydrates hair.
Formulated For:
•All Curl Patterns: Coily (4C-4A), Curly (3C-3A), Wavy (2C-2A)
•Diameters: Medium, Thick
•All Conditions: Untreated, Color-Treated, Dry, or hair damaged from Heat, Chemical, or Physical styling
•Ideal for medium to thick, curly hair seeking moisture and definition.
How to Use:
Emulsify one or two quarter-sized dollops between hands. Press and squeeze into damp or wet hair, from mid-shaft to ends. (Need more? Go for it). Air-dry or diffuse.
From The Pros: After styling, let hair dry completely before shaking out curls to help define curls and reduce frizz.
On Day 2, 3 (and beyond): mist Curl Reactivator to freshen, moisturize, and redefine curls. Then, style with Curl Defining Styling Cream.
For optimal results, work in small sections and apply an even amount of Curl Defining Styling Cream from roots to ends.
Fragrance Notes: Top notes of sparkling pink grapefruit and sweet lemons elevate the freshness of this fragrance's signature floral heart of jasmine and muguet, transitioning into a warm, creamy backdrop of woods and musk.

Q: Does the bottle come with a seal covering the opening? I had this delivered and it smells like burnt plastic. I found that very strange and I’m wondering if the bottle was tampered with? Thank you!

Their old product as a 5.
I loved the old formula. It smelled great -- citrusy and not too sweet -- and it worked perfectly for my 3b/c hair. I know the current formula isn't that new any more, but I put off buying it in hopes I could find something similar to the old one. No luck, so I'm back, but this is a much heavier cream and the smell is much sweeter, neither of which make me particularly happy. But they might work fine for you and to be honest, I haven't found anything better.

I want my return sent back or a refund ASAP!
Why was my return denied on this item?! It looked used and had a very off putting smell like it was old stock. You guys denied my return - with no reason given- and kept my item. I paid $36 for it! I want my money back! This is corrupt!

Better than sex
I hate to report that this is my holy grail hair product. Why do I hate to report this? Well… the price is ridiculous. But for my hair-this is it. I get fairy princess multi day ringlet curls (using the twist and scruch method) that smell incredible. I've been using it for over a decade and I always end up coming back to it. I'm white with thick type 2 waves and curls. Everyone's hair is different but for me this is it!

Best curl cream I have used
I have tried many many curl styling products and have settled on this as it defines my curls and waves perfectly and I do not have a sticky build up residue feeling, so it is perfect for me!!

I have curly hair and i thought this would work. I did not feel like it held my curl. It also had a clay like smell. Not my favorite

Not for my curls
I have been on the lookout for a product that makes my curls soft. This made my hair very crunchy and wet looking. However it did have a nice smell.

Curl definition for coarse hair
A stylist in Ulta halped me pick this product after seeing my hair & asking what style I wanted. She suggested the same brand of mousse but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for mousse. I love it!

Love the product hate the packaging
I love the product so much but the packaging makes it impossible to use up all of the product. I have to tip the bottle upside down and bang it on the floor to get it out of the cap. For the price, it's not worth only getting to use 1/3 of the product. I wish they would put this in a jar.

Not worth the price
I was very excited to try this but was quickly disappointed. This product is NOT light at all, it feels heavy and greasy- I ended up having to wash my hair again as it just felt awful & did not control frizz.

Not as good as before
I've used this product for years and loved it. The product seems to have changed within the last year though. It used to be whiter and lighter in texture and now it is a cream color and heavier in texture. It still somewhat helps with frizz but weighs down my hair more. Wish they hadn't changed the formula.

Fine Hair Sticky Let Down
For my fine hair, I hoped this would keep my curls together and bouncy. It looked good but getting fingers through hair was a disaster.

Works on fine hair
Light weight, does not weigh down fine hair. Smells good, too!

Great but it doesn't control grey frizz
I have wavy hair and the curl defining cream does bring out additional curls, which is great, but I am allowing my hair to go grey naturally and, unfortunately, it does not tame the grey frizz when air dried.
