I was really exciting and looking forward to another more affordable, accessible product to Ouidad’s line. My hair isn’t too finicky (color treated 3c) but this made my scalp break out in dry skin patches, acne, and dandruff from how drying it is. I haven’t been able to unfrizz my hair until completely washing it out. If you’re prone to dry hair or a dry scalp, avoid it like the plague!

This stuff smells great and really helps with the curl definition. But I have to use quite a bit every time so I'll give it 4 stars. I will continue to buy!

It holds well, and my curls are bouncy, but it seems drying for my hair. Not sure if it is drying my hair or if it just seems dry because of the slight crunch.

Snickhend - 19 days ago, Verified purchaser
The results I get from this are good, as long as you comb or brush it in and then diffuse (do not go straight to scrunching or you will be in frizz city). Curls are better defined but not so much that I sacrifice volume. However, this product smells aaawwwffffuuuulllll. It's seriously like cheap cologne and does not die down even after 8+ hours. It is too heavily perfumed for me to ever use again.

I bought this because the OGX curl cream I usually use was out of stock. This is thick and tacky (like thick glue) and made my hair sticky and frizzy. Never buy again.

Works well, tames my frizz while defining my waves! I really liked my results and smells nice not too strong. But after a day, I get flakes from using this, looks like I have horrible dandruff. Unless you wash your hair every day then this may not be an issue for you.

I have thin, high porosity, damaged 3b curly hair and finding products is very difficult! This product nourishes my hair, with no crunch and no silicones. There is a bit of flaking after a few days so that’s why I gave it 4 stars. For this price, it is worth it.

For reference I have 2B wavy hair with fine strands but a lot of hair. I was worried this would weigh my hair down as it felt thicker than my normal leave-in, but no! This stuff is great :) I apply it when my hair is soaking wet to make sure it distributes evenly throughout and doesn’t get heavy in one spot. I liked how easily this melted into my hair despite feeling thicker. I’m glad I found a more affordable leave in that works for me :D it is a fraction of the cost of the other product I was using and I actually think it might be better. I also recommend the gel. The only thing I don’t like about this line is the artificial fragrance BUT at least it is very mild and disappears pretty quickly.

Im have curly hair which can get frizzy easily so I bought a travel size container of this. I was wearing my hair down today and one side was puffier then the other so I whipped out my hair cream and put it thought that side. It didn’t define or do nothing so I was like whatever I’ll just put my hair up but then I saw a mad about of flakes on my dark t shirt and I was like hmm that’s odd I don’t have dandruff and I look at my hair and it was looking like I had some bugs and lice on my scalp where I put this stuff so I got a hall pass went to the bathroom to try to brush it out but I couldn’t so k had to put my hair in braids. I typically pull out several face framers to conceal my big forehead but I couldn’t even do that without it looking like I had a rare case of quicksand scalp. I now have to walk around all day with dirty looking hair and my cranium being exposed to the public. I want to cry right now im actually that mad.

I love a lot of the products by this brand, but this was a miss from me. I think it works well, but I do not like how sticky it feels putting it in. Thankfully, it didn't leave my hair feeling that way once it was in, but I prefer other products. I wouldn't choose this one again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Once again this smell is sooo good. The cream isn't too thick which I love and my curls look so perfect when I used it. I love that it's also in a squeeze bottle and not a tub because I hate the mess from using a tub. I'm definitely going to buy more of this when I'm out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Not Your Mother's in exchange for my honest review. I haven't tried that many curl creams Just this and one other and I do really like this. I like the way it smells, smells really good without being too strong. Seems hydrating and did define my curls pretty well. However I will say that it does feel like there is a decent amount of product in your hair your hair and is a little bit greasy Feeling. So all in all this is a pretty decent curl cream.
