Love this product. I use it when my hair is stalking wet, evenly distributed from root to tip. Air dry and my curls are amazing. I use it in-between washes also as a refresher.
Good so far

The original was way better than the avacodo one but its my favorite curl product I use a different after adding it in to get shorter curls. It doesn't leave the hair sticky or crunchy at least for my type of hair I know it did for some of my friends but its definitely worth a try
Great for 4c hair

I use this product on my son’s hair and it’s the best product I’ve came across for his hair. It’s hydrating and softening. It actually lasts in his hair. I love the scent and the colors on the packaging

Love this curl activator! I especially use it on those off days when my curls don't know what they want to do with themselves. It works really well and isn't too oily. It gives my curls just the right amount of bounce !
A keeper

My husband uses this product and is not willing to try any substitutes! He likes the moisture it provides and the texture of the product. I introduced it to him based on the ingredients, so it’s a keeper.

This is a great product! I use this on my wet hair as my leave in/detangler step and it works so well for that! Keeps my hair hydrated and shiny. After this step I put in my styling gel. If I don’t use this product my hair definitely feels dry/crunchy, especially since I prefer a very strong gel as my styler. Inexpensive and 100% recommend.

I have been trying to use different liquid leave-ins for years. My hair has never looked better since trying this curling cream. I have wavy curly hair and it’s very non-porous. The fly-aways are kept at bay. I have fine hair as well and this doesn’t make it greasy nor does it weigh it down, but don't use too much. The smell is fantastic too.

So like many I had a curly hair journey during the dark days of 2020/21. I bought sooooooo many products to see what would work for me. I have some thoughts on this one. Definitely worked in making my curls/waves defined and not frizzy, however I have very thin hair so it weighed my hair down which is not a good look for my 3 hairs. Very sad but very much recommend to anyone that has thicker more textured hair as I really think yall would love it. Oh but know a little goes a long way so amazing price and one bottle will last forever.

Living in FL and dealing with humidity and curly hair is not easy. This has been a game changer! It keeps the frizz minimal and really defines the curls!
Ok but have used better products
