I have a combo of 2A/2B wavy hair. When I use this curl cream after using my leave-in spray conditioner and hair oil on my ends, and my hair is still more wet than dry, it will actually straighten my hair. But if I do all the same steps, but wait until my hair is almost dry to apply the curl cream, my hair is wavy the next morning. FYI, this is without blow drying my hair and waiting to wash my hair until bedtime. I get better beachy looking waves if I skip scrunching and blowing drying my hair at the same time, and just go to bed with almost dry hair. I love the soft fragrance of his curl cream and after using my hair doesn’t feel like it has any product in it. FYI, my hair is chemically highlighted and low lighted, my light is just below my shoulders, and it’s medium in texture and I have a lot of it. I do, occasionally, use a beach wave spray, but those leave a texture to my hair and can dry it out. The curl cream is gentler.

This used to be my absolute holy grail of all hair products but for some reason they decided to reformulate it and now it’s absolute garbage. It’s super drying and leaves me with nothing but frizz. RIP

I have a mix of fine 2B-3A hair, low porosity, and this made my hair look worse than if I had just air dried it with nothing on it. My hair just kinda looked limp. It’s also easy to put too much on because it’s very sticky and thick. It says for all curl types, maybe it would work on a different hair type but didn’t work for me.

I absolutely love every single not your mother’s product that I have tried, except this one. I just feel that it didn’t do much for my 2b hair, and barely lasted a day. I would instead recommend the Dona skala or fenty home curl cream.

I actually ended up using this myself and really liked it! It defined my curls without leaving them crunchy or heavy. The texture is light and easy to work through, and the scent is fresh but not too strong. It’s a great travel-size option, especially if you want soft, touchable curls that still hold their shape. It did not work as well for my bonus daughters thicker, longer hair.

I have three daughters with three different types of curly hair. My oldest has super curly small spirals. My middle has bigger looser ringlets and my youngest has a loose beach wavy curl. This product works well for all three. Not heavy and doesn’t weigh curls down. Nicely hydrates for a polished look.

I purchased this product based on a lot of positive reviews. My experience with it was that it provided no hold and dried out my hair really bad. I had to rewash my hair due to how bad it looked after using thia product. For a positive, the smell was pleasant. Returned this and another product from this line that was equally bad.
