Want definition for your curls at their every twist and turn?

Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Defining Curl Cream is your answer to achieving clearly defined curls and added bounce within your day-to-day hairstyling routine. Not only is this hair moisture cream a member of one of our most-loved hair care collections, but it's also packed with benefits. This curl-defining cream delivers maximum curl definition, but it also works to seal in hair moisture, control hair frizz, and add hair shine.

This defining curly hair cream contains protein and is also great for all curly hair types—2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, 4A, 4B, & 4C—including both natural hair and color-treated hair. Made with good vibes only, it is sulfate surfactant-free, silicone-free, paraben-free, drying alcohol-free, and cruelty-free.

When ready to use Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Defining Curl Cream, evenly apply a small amount of the Citrus-Jasmine-scented Not Your Mother's Curl Cream to damp curls, working it from your hair roots through to the ends and adding more as needed. Give yourself a moment to enjoy the notes of lemon, jasmine, rose water, sunflower, and sandalwood.

A little pro tip: Combine Curl Talk Frizz Control Sculpting Gel and Curl Talk Defining Cream for the ultimate curl definition.

It really helps with frizzy hair and smells good. However it’s important not to put too much, otherwise, hair will be oily. Texture is very pleasing.

Lightweight and Great!

Great product, I use it on my wavy hair and does the job for keeping it defined, shiny, and doesn’t leave it tangled or crunchy!

HATE IT w/ my WHOLE HEART

I saw this product promoted in tiktok & the girl said such positive things. This product makes my hair feel so dry and like straw. I hate it. That girl was probably paid. I don’t know who the product would work. I’ve tried it like 5 times now in combination with different oils gel and mousse and it’s just bad every single time.

What kind of sorcery is this?

I have type 2C-3A wavy-loose curly hair. I have tried so many products. I recently asked AI to analyze a photo of my hair and recommend a care routine. It recommended this product and the NYM Curl Talk Sculpting Gel. I used both for the first time today. The curl cream on very damp hair, followed by the gel after letting the cream sit for a few minutes. I diffused until about 30% dry, then let air dry. My hair is generally a bit frizzy on the crown (I have those little frizzies that won't behave), but those little frizzies are gone and behaving nicely. My curls are soft and not crunchy at all (which is what I was looking for). Until now, I couldn't find styling products that brought out my curl and allowed it to stay defined without crunch. I am SO happy! I don't know what is in this stuff, but I swear it's magic!

Works on wet hair

I used this product on my daughters hair before she went to school. After I detangled with water I applied this cream. Later that evening when I picked her up I noticed that her curls were really popping. She usually has a few straight/wavyish pieces that aren't as curly anymore. I totally forgot that I used this that morning. Finally I remembered and realized that her curls were looking the way they did because of the curling cream lol!

Excellent

I have used a lot of creams on my long, curly hair. This one is one of the best. It stands alone great, or with gel afterwards. It calms the frizz and softens my hair. The scent is just right, not too strong, but it smells good.

Frizz free bouncy curls

Use on soaking wet hair, helps to define curls really well. My hair air dries a little frizzy but using a diffuser no frizz at all with this product. It gives a good shine even on hair super damaged from using a flat iron everyday. Also a little amount goes a long way. One bottle lasts for a while.

Better than Cantu, been searching for similar.

Great product, have been looking for something light to hold the moisture in my hair. Cantu is very thick and this is a great alternative.

very heavy. Not for thin, fine irish curls. Definitely builds up in hair as well. Shampooing multiple times does not remove residue.

Weird smell

Sticky and messy. Doesn't provide much moisture. It also stinks. Overpriced for what it is.
