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 - 3 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 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!
Awful

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.
Works great.

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!
Do not buy!

Best curls ever. Product is lightweight and not oily. I use it as part of a routine while hair is wet. I spray on It's a 10 leave in, then this product, then apply a tiny bit of argan oil, scrunch and let dry. Leaves my hair with soft, lush curls. Without the Ultra hydrating curl leave in creme conditioner, my hair looks and feels dry and frizzy.
Amazing!!!

I love the smell! Also how light weight it is. I usually use “It’s a 10 leave in conditioner” but decided to try this product because it’s a bit cheaper. I love this product so much and will be using for now on out. My hair is super dry and frizzy without a leave in product. This enhances my waves/curls and makes my hair so soft.

Smell is so strong and made my hair feel like straw. I was so excited to try this one but after the first few hours I looked up reviews and wished I read them sooner. I had same results as so many other curlies. Don’t waste your time on this one ladies!

I see this product is aimed at thick, wavy or curly hair. I have medium length, medium thickness, slightly-moderate wavy hair- and I am impressed by this product. I apply my leave-in conditioner, comb it through. Let my hair air dry a few minutes, then spray on this product and let my hair dry naturally. It keeps my hair wavy without drying it out. It also can be applied throughout the day on dry hair. I am VERY sensitive to smells. I don’t notice an offensive scent. If I blow dry and style my hair, I apply this product last.
great leave in

It definitely has left my hair curly. I used to have a really raunchy wavy look but now this has curled my hair more, and it has a nice smell. People have definitely noticed. I will say the frizz ease is kind of like flipping a coin some days tame some days not but I think my hair is just temperamental and I need to find just the right product for that.

Kiki - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
The smell is too strong! It has a heavy perfume smell, I even got a headache from it. It didn’t really do anything so I wouldn’t recommend for that reason alone. It reminds me of the Paris Hilton perfume (iykyk). Also, it didn’t fight frizz or make my hair soft at all. This would be the second reason I wouldn’t recommend this product.
Don't buy

I like the smell and that the product doesn’t feel heavy but it does nothing for frizziness or leave hair any softer. It’s more of a spray not a cream at all. Perfect if you want a $10 bottle of nothing ✨

The smell is a little strange. To me, it smells like when magazines try to have the perfume scents to sniff but it still smells quite a bit like magazine paper? It smells just like that to me. Otherwise it does an okay job as a leave in conditioner. I bought because I liked the packaging and the store was out of my usual one. It’s a good price for the fluid oz you get. I’ll probably buy again if the same situation happens to me.
