    Defined Curls - My New Fave

    NativeNY - 8 days ago, Verified purchaser
    I absolutely love Pillow Soft Curls - I mix it with a little bit of Miss Jessie’s Sweetback conditioner or use the Sweetback as a base and my 4c curls drink it up! Super defined curls and the next day I just spritz some water on, add a tiny bit more Pillow Soft and keep it moving. On the 2nd night, I moisturize my hair with Baby Buttercream and I’m set. Love the scent, love the feel and how my hair looks afterwards. Fave!

    I only use miss Jessie’s on my little guy. It’s crazy how his hair isn’t crunchy after. It’s just extremely soft, and the smell is strong but I don’t mind it and luckily for my son he doesn’t have sensitive scalp or skin. Yes it’s pricey but it’s definitely worth it

    This product doesn’t give enough definition or hold. I know it’s supposed to be soft curls but my hair was a frizzy mess. And the worst part is the smell. It’s so off putting that I had to wash my hair the same day again to get the smell to go away. I don’t even know how to describe the smell other than cheap powder. Even if the product gave me amazing curls, the smell would be a deterrent.

    Soft defined curls, no flakes, and no abhorrent smell. Works with my shampoo, conditioner, leave-in and argon oil that I use currently. Simply dampen my hair and reuse the next day and like new. Once it is dry and hair sets, it is good for the day. I like I that I can get several days from my wash and go. The product is expensive but I feel it gets the job done since you do not need to use a lot of product. I also like it cause my hair and scalp does not like gel. Product is a nice medium to lightweight not too heavy or light.

    The smell is over whelming even through out the day or if you rinse it out baby powder is a yucky scent to give a hair product it dried my skin out and my hair but left my hair greasy if that makes sense and gave me a rash , do. A skin test prior even if you have no allergies

    Works well, unpleasant scent

    Tsar - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I was recommended this for my curls because I have fine hair and it does work very well. It leaves my curls bouncy and well-defined without weighing them down. I get pretty good second and third day curls as well. The scent is pretty unpleasant though, like a household product, and lasts for a while. Hopefully they will change it or release a scent-free version.

    Hair loss

    Shanibb - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Caused hair loss. Beware! I ignored the other reviews that mentioned hair loss and bought it anyway. After about 3 weeks of inconsistent use (not daily use), my hair started falling off in the shower. I stopped use immediately but hair still falling out days after. I do blame this product because I didn’t do anything different other than start this product and also because of the other reviews saying the same. And if you must use it I would advise to at least not use on a child. Who knows what this stuff contains.

    Seems to Work OK Smell is Awful

    3 out of 5 stars
    Leslie R - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
    I've used it once and it seems to be OK. I'll need to work with different amounts and keep experimenting. Unfortunately, I think the smell might dissuade me from trying again. It is not modern at all, and is very strong. If you want to smell like an old lady from the 1960's, this is for you.

    Crunchy Curls and Strong Scent

    3 out of 5 stars
    Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
    Jane - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    This has more of a crunch to it as it’s drying. It took forever to dry as I air dry, I don’t use heat. I was looking for more of a soft, pillowy curl. I also wasn’t looking for my hair to smell like a Dollar General fabric softener sheet. It’s pretty strong. But if you don’t mind a strong scent and more hold than soft curl, this is a good fit.

    Anna B - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
    The hold is good. A little goes a long way. It is pretty sticky. But I think it smells awful. It has a strong powdery scent. My husband said I smell like a nursing home when I walked in the room. I also don’t think it defined my curls very well. Hard to tell if it combats frizz- it was 95 degrees outside, so frizz was inevitable. I doubt I’ll give it a second try.
