Most Helpful Positive Review If your curls love protein, get this! I love Curlsmith and was so pumped to see a protein rich cream. My hair prefers creams to gels and mousse, and this stuff made my curls curl right up as if I had just done a protein treatment. The fragrance is wonderful, not too powerful but you can definitely smell it when you turn your head. Added some shine to my hair as well. I am going to try the volume foam alone with it but the cream alone gave great frizz control and definition. I have only used it for a few days now, but I may prefer this to the Hold Me Softly balm.
Most Helpful Critical Review not for my hair I don't always use curl creams or leave ins because my hair is super fine, but I wanted to try this product. It was definitely too moisturizing for my hair. My waves had less definition using this. When my hair
dried if felt way too soft and limp. I'll stick with the amazing Uncle Funky's Daughter curl stimulator. That is the best stuff I have found for my hair. I wash, condition and use UFD and I get really pretty curls with a bit of cast that scrunches out into nice waves.

Who knew my hair needed protein?! 4

This product is amazing and I noticed results upon the first use. I have curly hair. A lot of it, but it's fine, and sometimes gets weighted down by products. Before I was using the Curlsmith Air Dry Cream + Flexi Jelly. My curls were soft and looked good the first day but didn't really retain their shape and structure. I clarify and deep condition regularly but still had some frizz by the end of the day. I used this Protein Cream + Flexi Jelly ( no Air Dry Cream) and omg my curls are POPPIN! The definition and spring is amazing. (I diffused until 75% dry and air dried the rest of the way - SOTC to fluff) On day 2 I didn't even have to refresh and reapply some Flexi Jelly like I normally do. It also reduced the "halo-frizz" I typically get. I am slightly concerned that this product will cause protein overload but regular clarifying and deep conditioning should combat that. It's been awhile since a product blew me away, but this one, in my opinion, is a winner.
Love it!! 5
McHayes from Tennessee
I'm not usually a cream fan, but this stuff is GOLD! I've now tried everything in the new protein line & they're all fabulous! Working in healthcare, I need quick & easy... this fits the bill! I use a nickel size amount for my short curly bob, diffuse, & I'm out the door. So far, I've only used alone, haven't cocktailed with anything else. This is the first cream that has actually defined my curls & not added to the weight by of my hair. I'm absolutely in awe with the protein line!!!!

Shedding everywhere 1
Madame Butterfly from Chicago, IL
So, I have 4a color treated curls with high porosity. Their product information says that people with high porosity need more protein, so I thought I'd give this one a try. I used this product alone and within hours my hair was shedding everywhere. When I used the other Curlsmith products I never had this issue. After I washed this out, the shedding stopped. This one will be getting returned.
New favorite 5
Cyrese from Alaska
This has made my 4b/4c curls really pop! The scent is lovely. My hair is shines and soft, but the hold is good! I'll rotate this with the in the shower fixer!
Great for fine, high density waves! 5
MysteriousSalmon from San Antonio, TX
I have finally found THE Curlsmith product for me! The regular curl creams are too heavy for my fine, dense hair and weigh it down. The lightweight line isn't enough hold for my heavy hair. THIS is exactly what I needed! I can use only the cream or combine with just a tiny bit of the Souffle for a little stronger hold. And the best thing is I don't need a ton of it. I use probably a nickel to quarter size of cream for my shoulder length, thick hair. All day hold working in healthcare. It's absolutely perfect.
I will buy this again! 5

Love how this smells and activates my waves/curls! It's lightweight and not crunchy too!
Works but not for the fragrance sensitive 3
IMS121314 from Baltimore
My hair soaked this up and you can tell it packs the protein like it claims but the fragrance is so strong! Why? I am sensitive to synthetic fragrances and this was overwhelming and made my throat scratchy and irritated. It even made my dog sneeze. Unfortunately I will not be repurchasing this. Can't they make this product without the strong fragrance? :(
Slight Hold for Fine Hair 5
PM from Arkansas
I have fine curly hair and this product did well at not weighing it down. Those with thicker hair might not experience much hold but this product really helped me with creating slight hold at my roots. I put this cream all over and then used the Curlsmith In-shower style fixer at the ends and I was able to create good definition.
This will be a regular product in my cabinet 5

Makes me curls look so refreshed! Always impressed with curlsmith
Good hold, lightweight, perfect for winter 5
Vivi from Michigan
I've been struggling all winter with frizzy, lifeless, weighed down curls, and this cream brought my hair back to life. I got amazing volume and definition. It is not a one and done styler though. But for me, nothing is. I paired it with a gel (Camille Rose Curl Maker) and it worked wonders!
Worth the wait 5
M from Daly City California
I love all the Curlsmith products but now with their protein line products it's been a total game changer! For a curly gal with fine hair which loves protein in her products it's been working so good for my hair.
Great Product 5
Liz Miranda from CT
Great to use after the shower on damp hair. It smells great and has great slip. I wish it would be a little bit more affordable but you get what you pay for and Curl Smith has not let me down yet with their product line. Being that this was a new product I was worried, but it worked great on my finer curly hair.
I love it! 5
Alexandra from Las Vegas
I enjoy this product! It helped with enhancing my waves since my hair lovesssss protein.
The one thing is that it says it's a "level 4" but that's misleading. I don't think this product has any hold. It literally is a cream. I still put gel in my hair after using this product and I had amazing results!
I still love it tho, I'm kinda glad that there's no hold in this cream, just a nice balance of moisture and protein!
Great styler 5

I posted my review a few days ago. Not sure what happened. Smells amazing!! The soft me softy was my go to, but this is now it. Only need one product, defined and frizz free!!
Not a One and Done as claimed 2
Chrononaut from Pennsylvania
I love Curlsmith, I enjoy almost all of their products. However, this product"s "Level 4" hold has less hold than the Hold Me Softly Balm with its "Level 1" hold so I do not find this to be a one and done product. I still have to apply a gel over it.
Great hair cream 5
Cml from Florida
First off, I have been using curl smith all year. I definitely have likes and dislikes on some of their products. My hair is 3a curls. I love their hold me softly balm and their flexy gel. I tried all of the stylers. Soufflé is not for me and the the in shower styler is great only for edges and slick buns. This cream is great. The smell is the best scent they have came out with thus far. I applied to clean hair by itself and air dried. I will say its a light hold and definitely has the consistency of the air dry cream. It has the slightest cast. I used alone, but may buy the foam to scrunch into my ends for a more defined look. 10/10 for me.

Finally proteins! 5
Lizzy from Chicago
I was so excited when I stumbled on these on the Ulta website. I haven't seen any posts or ads from curlsmith on these and I have been waiting for a protein line from them! These smell amazing and adds the perfect light hold to my 2b/2c waves. Great way to balance my hair as I have high porosity from bleaching.
