Curlsmith Awestruck Definition Cream

I really wanted to like this curl cream, but it just did not work for my 3c/4a high-porosity curls. Instead of definition or hold, all I got was frizz. My curls looked puffy, undefined, and honestly worse than if I had used nothing at all. If you rely on products for strong curl definition, long-lasting hold, or moisture that actually seals in your pattern, this isn't it. I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone with 3c/4a curls—there are much better options out there that won't leave you disappointed.

This went on sale and I was so excited to try it. I have thick, wavy hair and normally not super dry but this stuff makes it feel like straw. It smells awful and feels even worse. Not sure what the hype is about.

I LOVE curlsmith products, so I thought the Awestruck Cream would be great. Instead, it left my 3B curls feeling dry with white flakes within a few hours. I typically wash my hair 1-2 times a week, but it didn't really give any kind of long lasting hold. My hair was pretty frizzy the next day, so I'd likely have to refresh/wash it more frequently. For the price, this was not worth it for me and is likely too lightweight for my curl texture. The only positive is that it smells really nice!

I will start by saying I am 71, with a full head of long silver wavy/curly hair. I've been using the styling products from the former detox scalp detox (blue) line, with great success: Weightless Air Dry Cream, Full Body Thickening Lotion, & Hydro Style Flexi Jelly. The Full Body Thickening Lotion has been discontinued. I thought I'd try this new product, applying it after the Weightless Air Dry Cream. I've tried using it three times, & had the same result: my hair looked gorgeous on wash day, but not so much after. I sleep with my hair up in a loose scrunchy under a silk bonnett. When I style with the other trio, for a refresh, all I've needed to do is lightly wet my hair; it didn't help when I used the Awestruck Definition Cream. I think this product may work for people who are younger; unfortunately, it's not for me.

I haven't had a one and done curl product that I love in so long. It has the right amount of hold and gives great definition and volume. More hold than the air dry cream and most other curl creams for sure. My curls haven't looked this lush and lively in a long time. I have 2a/3c hair and I think it's low porosity. This has a strong tropical fruity smell at first but it fades. I can be sensitive to fragrance but I like this one. I would love to see this in a travel size!
