Q: Does this have any heat protectant in it? I am new to caring for my waves and have been diffusing on cool/warm anyway but my hair is quite damaged from bleach so I’m trying to help it as much as possible, thanks!

submitted by Steph W - 7 months ago
  • A: Hello Steph, This does not have a heat protectant in it, we did just launch a Heat Protection Multivitamin Leave-In. This all-in-one Heat Protection Multivitamin Leave-In provides deep hydration, frizz-control, heat protection up to 450° F, plus a daily dose of nutrients for stronger and healthier hair. This lightweight formula is the perfect daily leave-in to repair and protect all hair types. Than you, Rizos Curls

Q: How well would this work on 2C/3A fine texture, med./high porosity, med. density hair? Would it be too heavy?

submitted by curvygurl1124 - 1 year ago
  • A: Thank you for your interest in Rizos Curls! Rizos Curls Curl Defining Cream is a moisturizing curl definer that is a medium weight that will give hold, shine, and definition to your curls. It is perfect for your 2c/3a curls! Just remember, with fine curls that weigh down easily, less is more. When applying, you will section your hair into 2-4 sections, applying a dime/nickel amount of product to each section. Rake in cream from about an inch below the root to the ends. Scrunch section to encourage curl pattern. Repeat on each section. Diffuse on medium heat & speed to lock in curl definition. For increased volume, be sure to diffuse hair upside down to dry roots off the scalp. Our Rizos Curls Curl Defining Mousse is another great option to give you the same hold, shine & definition but as a weightless styling foam. I tend to need more moisture in the colder months and use the Curl Defining Cream. In the spring & summer, my curls love the hydration of the Curls Defining Mousse. Same results, 2 different formulas. Our minis & travel kits are perfect to try! They are generously sized travel bottles that are good for 2-3 uses. Ideal to find the perfect Rizos Routine when unsure.

The best curl cream I have used! I have thin hair and it does not weigh down my hair. It makes it look full and big.

Great curl cream!

I love this curl cream, I’ve used it for years now alongside the hydrating shampoo and deep conditioner and they give me perfect curls every time. I do recommend using a custard (I use kinky curly curling custard) or gel in addition to the cream for longevity. I’ve found when I also use a custard I’m able to sleep on my hair and it still look great the next day, whereas if I just use the cream my hair gets matted and tangled overnight. I also recommend using less than you think you need, because if I use too much it makes my hair look darker in color than it is and appear greasier. It took a bit of trial and error but I love this product and it smells amazing too. 5 stars!

Holds no shaping ability for my curls

I followed the recommended process, the product did nothing to actually hold my hair, the products didn't mix in hair.Flaked as soon as dry and made my hair a disgusting brittle texture even after rinsing it out of my hair. I am disappointed in my purchase

Enhances

I like to use this cream with the custard. It helps to define my curls and holds for a good three days with just some water to refresh.

Soft defined curls. Just one concern.

I recently purchased my first bottle of Rizos Curls Defining Cream, and overall I really like how it performs. It defined my curls beautifully and left my hair feeling very soft and moisturized. The product worked exactly as described.The scent was pleasant when I first applied it; however, as the day went on, I noticed a strange smell developing—similar to when a cosmetic product goes bad. At first, I thought it might have been another product I was using, but after taking a nap with my bonnet on, I realized the smell was coming from my hair.Aside from the scent issue, I truly like the product and how it works on my curls. If this was just an issue with this particular bottle, I would definitely be willing to purchase it again.

Keeps Curls Curling

I am always rushing and very bad with a regular hair care routine but even if I just put this on after a hair wash day, it keeps my hair soft and curly! Minimal frizz, obviously can’t expect it perfect without any gel or mousse or diffusing but honestly it is amazing on its own and does so much.
