Good stuff for my Type 2B waves

DinaJo - 7 days ago, Verified purchaser
As it grayed, my formerly coarse, thick stick-straight hair developed waves, type 2B. I didn’t how to embrace them but have gradually found haircuts and products that work for me. This little tube has been a game changer- about a quarter-sized squirt keeps my waves nicely tumbled and stops frizzing. Light scent doesn’t bother me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works and it works well So I really loved how good this smells. It is on the heavy side and if you put too much, gives my frizzy white girl hair a bit of a crunch. It's a great product though. Does exactly what it states it does. Although I received this complimentary, I'd buy it myself because the price point is great too.
No frizz & great definition

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter and I both have curly hair and maintains my daughters frizzy hair has been a struggle since she’s been back at school. Between recess, the heat, and humidity my day guys hair is a mess when she gets home. This cream has really helped tame her hair and keep it from getting so frizzy- especially when combined with the mouse and the gel!
Not so good

It’s very thick and it doesn’t really help defining my curls at all. I’ve tried using it by itself or combined with other products that aren’t as thick but it still doesn’t work. When it dries, my hair is so frizzy
Super light

What I really liked about this product was how light weight it was. My hair is a mix of course and fine hair strands, so I prefer to go the light weight route in order to add moisture without weighing it down.
Good Product

I really liked this cream. It does not have a bad smell to it and it leaves my hair frizz free. It’s kind of like a gel because it hardens your hair a little bit but leaves the curls very coily and defined.

Hi CLWTW! We are sorry to hear about your experience. Curl Talk Defining Cream, defines your curls and once your hair has dried you should not comb out curly hair.

I loved this the 1st time I used it, but for some reason it seems to dry the hair out more. I still use it, but am trying to keep it from drying out on wash day.
