Q: Is this product good for women of color with curly hair? I decided to go natural and it seems as though all of the shampoos that I've tried really strip the moisture from my hair.

submitted by Nita - 5 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your question. This Leave-In is ideal for medium to coarse curl types. It won't strip the moisture from the hair as its goal is to replenish moisture.

I use this along with the curl shampoo and conditioner and they make my hair feel so soft. The smell is amazing and the bottles are easy to use. It takes me awhile to go through a bottle so the price is worth it.

This is hands down the best product I’ve ever used on my curls. I’ve tried A LOT in my 29 years. NOTHING has ever made my curls look this good. I actually love wearing my hair down! I have normally very puffy curls but this really tames them without hardness, frizz or being oily. I love this product! The only down side is I have to use a lot at once. I don’t even use the sprayer. I just open and dump out a palm sized amount. So I go through it very quickly.

Dont waste your money - 9 months ago
I loved the smell and it definitely did make my waves nice. But I have noticed more split ends and breakage in my hair. It could be something else im doing wrong so im going to use it maybe a couple more times. If not im going back to my old one and this can be my backup. If you are looking for a great one the Shea Moisture hibiscus cream is a great one!

Soft scented hydrating leave in cream

The first thing I noticed about this was that it smells amazing! The first time I used it, the scent lasted in my hair for 24 hours! It smells absolutely magnificent! This is a lightweight leave in cream that is still effective. It kept my 3b curls very hydrated/soft and reduced frizz. This is the first time I’ve used the Kristin Ess line and I will definitely be repurchasing!

My hair is incredibly dry and needs a lot of moisture. Maybe if this was a leave in cream it would be fine, but as a spray, my hair was always thirsty for more.

I have curly/ wavy hair. This product did not help with curl structure, or frizz. Consistency is a liquid spray, not a cream. Gotta say the packaging is very cute though.

I am obsessed with how this smells! My hair stopped growing because it is so long and I read that you can use leave in conditioner and it can help your hair to get longer because it wont break as often. Since I have purchased this and the shampoo and conditioner my hair has grown another inch and I haven’t even finished a bottle yet!

I really wanted to like this but wow. This is terrible It’s not even a cream it’s a spray. The smell is okay to me, but it is very strong. It’s definitely floral but also kinda earthy, like grass. I have 3a-3b hair, and this does define my curls, but it leaves them feeling so dry. Straight up like straw. It’s so crunchy and dirty feeling. I usually only wash once a week, but I couldn’t stand to have this in my hair for that long. I hated this.

So I bought these (CURL Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave-In Conditioner) because someone recommended it to me. I ended up buying them and then reading the reviews before I tried it and was so nervous because of all the negative comments. First of all, the smell is not that bad. It's not the floral smell that women are use to but it's also not nauseating. People's comments got me worried but the smell is fine. No its not my favorite but it's fine. Second, after shampoo and conditioned my hair felt clean and fresh. Finally, the leave-in conditioner is a spray cream and at first I thought for sure this will not suffer my curls. They are definitely going to be frizzy bit lo and behold my curls (after air drying) are fabulous. See pictures below. I totally recommend these products!
