          Easy to use to spring the curl back into my hair--I like to straighten as well, so this lets me have the best of both worlds.

          I like that it is lower in silicones than some curl cremes. I liked the way my hair held curls and was frizz-free all day, without the crunch. However, I didn't notice much of a difference in my hair compared to when I use drugstore brand curl creme. I could pay much less and get the same results.

            I have alot of hair. Shoulder length, but thick. Not kinky curls, but not loose waves. I put a slightly larger than dime size of this (+detail creme) in my hand, mix together and comb thru damp hair. Style as normal. Great hold all day, great definition of curls. Never greasy or crunchy feeling, awesome softness and natural look.

            Best curl cream I've tried so far

                Comments about AG Hair Cosmetics Recoil Curl Activator:

                My hair has a very slight natural wave. I rarely take the time to blow-dry, and prefer to enhance my hair's wavy-ness so I can just wash and go in the morning.

                Until now, I hadn't really found any products that effectively enhanced my waves at all. Those that made any difference tended to leave my hair very crunchy and my hair almost always ended up limp by late afternoon.

                AG recoil is by far the best curl enhancer I've tried so far. It does leave my hair a bit crunchy until it dries completely, and since I don't blow-dry this can take hours. However, once dry, it typically leaves my hair soft and natural looking. It isn't a miracle worker, but definitely does leave me with considerably more waves than I would have otherwise. Overall, I really like the product a lot and will be re-stocking when I run out!

                It is very slightly scented. I prefer unscented products, but the smell is nice enough and pretty subtle.

                The bottle is pretty small, making the product relatively expensive - in line with other salon products though. After 2-3 months of almost daily use, I'm still on my first bottle, and I expect it'll last another 1-2 months.

                If you're going for natural-looking waves or curls and are willing to spend a bit more money for salon products, I'd definitely recommend this product!
