Q: My hair is fine and on the looser end of curly hair type. So like 3a to 3b and I was wondering if this product is good for me?
submitted by Harper - 4 years ago
A: Yes! It would be a great product for your hair type. For hold, I would recommend trying Jelly Soft Curls and for conditioner, our Leave In Condish!
For soft bouncy curls, try Feather Soft Curls!

Brand expert
A: No, I also have fine, 3a to 3b, and oily hair. I tried it twice and I really didn't like how it felt. It weighed down the volume, heavy feel & curl shrinkage(I have long hair) except it really does give curl definition. I noticed some comments here don't like to scent but I do like it to be honest and not overwhelming. Lastly, I'm surprised hair loss. I'm not sure it's true. I might try it one more time. Just going to add less product for this product (pillow soft curls lotion) & jelly soft curls gel. I hope this help

Q: Scented or unscented?
submitted by mjm - 1 year ago
A: Scented in the best way, smells like laundry. Clean laundry is my favorite smell, so I may be biased, but this is the best smelling hair product I've ever used

Q: Is this more of a gel to help the curls last or a leave in conditioner?
submitted by none - 2 years ago
A: I’ve only used it once. It’s more of a cream. Leaves your curls nice and soft but nicely defined.

Q: My hair is not really curly, it's more naturally wavy. Would this product possibly work for wavy hair?
submitted by Charlie - 7 years ago
A: Yes - I have pretty wavy hair, and I like how it helps smooth my hair in a way that cuts down on the frizz and flyaways so that the wavy texture shows more clearly. It really cuts down on the amount of styling work I have to do to have it look good when I want to let my natural texture show.

Q: Is this good for low porosity hair?
submitted by Nancy - 7 years ago
A: Yes! I have low porosity hair and it works great alone for volume and fluffy curls, or under a heavier styler like a custard or my fav wetline gel!
submitted byReaB - 6 years ago
Q: Does the product contain alcohol
submitted by DeniseA - 8 years ago
A: It contains Benzyl alcohol which is a non-volatile alcohol used as a preservative in products. It should not impact the texture or feel of your hair. ... This makes it much more hydrophilic (water-loving), so that it can attract and hold water to the hair.

submitted by Booboo - 21 days ago
Q: Hi, i'm buying this for my daughter. Is this in anyway close to the leave-in-conditioner?
submitted by Victoria - 6 months ago
Q: Should there be a seal on this product? There was no plastic seal on the outside and no seal on the inside.

Q: Can this be combined with the Jelly Soft Curls gel?

Great curl cream but the smell is annoying
This cream definitely helps define your curls. It is not super heavy either, so if you have fine hair it won't weigh it down or leave your hair feeling greasy. The only problem I have with this cream and why I am searching for an alternative, is the SMELL. It does smell like laundry softener and for some this might be great but for me, it makes me feel like I've been in the laundromat all day, IDK, the smell just irks me, it smells cheap. I wish it was a more of a tropical scent or that there were different scent alternatives. Overall, a great curl cream if you don't mind smelling like freshly washed laundry all day.

I love how this made my hair look and feel, but the smell is horrible. It is so strongly scented. It gave me a horrible headache. I would love it if they made an unscented or less scented version.

Literally a miracle product for my curls. I use this on freshly washed wet hair and scrunch in, then follow with the soft gel from this same line. Can top with hairspray or just let air dry and the curls are unbeatable and hold up all day!

Highly recommend!
I have very thick, wavy, long hair and this stuff makes my hair feel and look amazing. I use it last in my har routine after my leave-in conditioner and serum. I've used several different curl creams and gels, and this definitely is my favorite because it doesn't leave that crunchiness to my hair after drying like how other creams and gels do. Not to mention, it makes my hair feel super soft and light and it smells amazing.

Best curl cream
This curl cream brought out my natural curls. I have a mixture of straight and curly/wavy hair and I was skeptical at first but this cream does wonders!! I will definitely stock up on this product it’s one of the best so far.

Strong bad odor umfortunately
Makes curls so nice BUT the smell ugh so awful, way too strong usually hair product scents fade throughout the day not this one. I had to throw it out. The scent is “laundry” but not sure who wants to smell like a strong laundry odor all day. I would move my head around and catch a wiff of it and kept forgetting it was my own hair. If this came unscented it would be PERFECT. I will try their other creams.

I like this curl cream if you want your rough, dry finish hair to feel and look softer. It definitely achieves a softness. I don't mind the smell but it is stronger than some products I have tried. It's not going to give you a lot of hold so pair with a hold product.

Smells good works well. Scent is very strong and lingers on everything you touch, may be a con if you don’t like that.

HEAVILY fragranced
This product worked so great for my hair but the smell was unbearable. I was hoping it would dissipate as most do throughout the day, but it did not. It was so overpowering. I had to wash my hair out as soon as I got home because it was giving me a headache. It’s not a ‘bad’ smell but it’s like I bathed in fabric softener but not in a good way. Way too much, I had to return. That said, I’d absolutely be willing to give an unscented version a try if they ever release one! My hair looked and felt so healthy, hydrated and defined.
