After 15+ years of straightening my hair with flat irons and chemical treatments, quarantine inspired me to start my curly hair journey. I have thick, high density, medium porosity hair that is mainly 2C. You can find pieces ranging from 2b-3b though. I was overwhelmed trying to choose products to start my journey and decided to try this kit since it was designed specifically for transitioning. Also, I saw Curlsmith products featured on Manes by Mell. I'm so happy I bought this kit! My hair looks better and better with each wash! I saw results after my first use, but I'm writing this review after my fourth. My hair is shinier. My curls are more defined and most importantly my frizz has drastically reduced! I massage the cowash into my scalp for 2 minutes with a shampoo brush and rinse out thoroughly. Then I section my hair in half and apply the deep conditioner to each section from mids to ends. I use my fingers to gently detangle and remove all knots and let the deep conditioner sit for 15-20 minutes. While rinsing it out, I start scrunching. Then I section my hair in half again, and use the praying hands method to apply the style balm to each. I try to help my curls form and eliminate wet frizz with my fingers. Then I rewet my hair and apply the gel to each section while scrunching. I apply a little extra gel on the areas that are more prone to frizz. After that I get out of the shower and plop my hair for as long as possible. Then I diffuse my hair using Manes by Mell's hover method to finish. Like I said, my results are getting better and better as I use the kit! Hope this helps!
Followed directions exactly and was so disappointed in the results. This is advertised as a product to give you defined, separated curls. Not so. Curls were defined and separate until completely dried, then as directions say I scrunched to break the cast from the styler and my hair clumped together. Product is high-residue and my hair feels incredibly dirty after use. The only upside to this product is the co-wash. That at least left my hair feeling smooth and clean.

Unfortunately my hair does not like something in this. My hair becomes very dry. My daughters straight hair this seems love it.

Still trying to decide if this is the right product for my hair, but if your hair is more textured it's definitely worth a try! Mine is just pretty fine, and this might be too heavy for me.

Purchased this today, as I was wanting to find something to revitalize my curls. And this surely didn't disappoint. Doesn't completely stop frizz, but it brings life back to dry curls. Recommend to others with curly/color treated hair.

Ever since I was 16 (now 21) I have struggled to find products that would work with my hair. My hair type is between 2c and 3a and I've always struggled with frizz, my hair breaking/falling out, and my curls not fully forming. I walked into Ulta last week because I had ran out of my previous hair care stuff and looking for something new. I saw the Curlsmith hair care products and decided to look it up and see how the reviews were, there were lots of good reviews so I decided to give it a go. Honestly, after one wash my hair has never, ever felt and looked so good. Usually after I shower my hair goes through this "phase" were it frizzes out a bit and then decides to calm down after a day or so but after I washed my hair with this stuff and used the products in the package I didn't have that issue. Also the products don't leave your hair feeling oily or crunchy, my hair has never felt so soft and looked so bouncy in its life. Literally the day after I washed my hair with this, I wore my hair down and went to the gas station to get gas before work and some guy was complementing my hair and it really made my day. On top of how my hair feels and looks, it also smells amazing. The smell isn't overwhelming but it's a soft sweet smell and I love it. If you are someone who struggles with keeping your curls in control or struggle with sensitive hair I would try this. Never have I been happier with my hair.

I've haven't worn my curls since the 1980's. I used this one time and after years of blowouts and flat irons my hair curled beautifully, could definitely work at training the curls for a little bit better definition, but really shock how well this kit worked!

I have used Devacurl for a while and thought I'd try something new. I was pretty disappointed with Curlsmith: hard to squeeze and get any product from the shampoo, all products have to stay in forever to be effective (3-15 minutes) extending my shower time, and results were lackluster.
Aij from Vallejo, Ca
I follow the steps and I might say my hair was detangled and easy to comb through. I do not like the gel as it made my hair stiff and sticky

I hate the way these products smell, and the only product I would consider buying again is the deep conditioner.
Vickie from Undisclosed
I really needed something different for my hair and this is it! I used it for a week and my hair is way more manageable. I am starting to alternate products that I already had because my hair is soaking it up and becoming a tad bit flat. I will order other products from Curlsmith to adjustvbecause they're awesome! My hair is colored and fine but lots of hair and I live in a very humid climate.

I was super excited to try this product line. Beyond excited. I really liked how this made my curls look, but really unfortunately I noticed substantial hair shedding since I started using this. I realize there is normal shedding, but I mean A LOT. I'm very upset and threw out all of these products. Obviously this doesn't happen to everyone based on reviews, but I did some research and there are people who had this reaction to the Curlsmith line. Be careful with this!

Ever since I got these hair products my hair & my daughter hair has changed drastically. Our hair looks super healthy.
Sarah from Undisclosed
Not impressed. The deep conditioner has very little slip when you wash it out. The in shower style fixture leave my hair horribly crunchy no matter how little I use and emulsify. And the co wash literally dries out my waves.

Amazing after one use!!!
Olivia from Undisclosed
Best product I've used. Makes curls soft but defined. Love it.

I really loved these products initially but then my hair started falling out. It has been significant.

The very first time I used this product, I dang near cried. My hair was beyond damaged and dried out, I had to chop my hair in hopes that I could have my curl pattern again. When I tell you I've tried it all and my hair would still be pin straight even though I was a complete noodle head when I was younger (tear, tear :c ) and nothing worked, EXCEPT CURLSMITH. Honestly feels like I made a deal with the devil because this product is almost too good to be true, but it is!! I'm obsessed with how the curl transitions systems smells and the shampoo alone makes my hair feel smooth once I rinse. It's been less than a month and I can happily say I have my curls back. You will not regret this purchase! I can't wait to try the ultimate lengths so I can have my long curly locks again! No more hesitating! I wish I purchased this sooner!!!!
CF from NYC
The co-wash was ok! Just ok. I was expecting it to be better than As I Am co-wash but in my opinion As I Am is better. The gel and cream left my hair dry and dull. No shine. I was a bit disappointed in the products.

I purchased this kit because I had been using heat on my curly hair for the past few years and finally decided it was time to let my curls do their thing. This kit helps to train your curls to absorb lots of hydration and overall look smoother and more defined. The typical way I used these products is by using the conditioning wash after my normal shampoo and rinsing it out upside down in the shower. I towel dry my hair a little bit and then follow up with the hold me softly balm and in shower style fixer (in that order). Once the gel cast from the in shower style fixer hardens, I scrunch out the crunch with a microfiber towel. The results are always fantastic! I use the double cream quencher once every couple washes and leave it in for about 15 minutes.

My hair is very curly and was very dry , I'm used many products including Pattern which is terrible. This product is the best my hair is shining ,curly Amazing . I'm highly recommend curly smith so love with it.
Dani from Virginia
I have curly hair underneath and wavy hair on top. I have been working on the Curly Girl Method to try to "fix" and develop my curls. Every Curlsmith product has been great. If I actually stayed consistent (I'm terrible and I'm working on it) then I know my hair would have made a lot of progress but I'm not. However, when I do use it, it really shows the curls I have. Underneath my curls/ringlets are BEAUTIFUL (if only all of my hair looked that way) end the top layer has a beautiful wave. Anyways, this stuff makes my hair SUPER soft and very healthy. It's never shined so much. I recommend for anyone with curls or trying to develop their curls.
Jenn from Providence, RI
Love these products. Makes your hair soft and defines curled really nicely.
Mair from Livermore
Just buy it already. Haven't been this excited about a product since deva curl first came out - many moons ago.

I have never been so amazed with my hair or a product in my life. Holy smokes! Day ONE my hair looked AMAZING...on day ONE! I'll sing it to the rooftops!! I'm a Curlsmith fan for life!

I literally can't believe how amazing this set is!!! I'm full Sicilian Italian with thick, naturally curly hair. After hundreds of bleachings, crazy colors, and haircuts, my hair went almost bone straight. I tried absolutely everything to get my natural curls back. I tried the silk pillows, no towels, clarifying shampoo, and expensive Nexxus curl system. Absolutely none of that helped. I had seen the add for Curlsmith on my Facebook for quiet a while and knew I had to have it! To my surprise, Ulta had this box set for an amazing price so I jumped on it!! I didn't want to get my hopes up, so I showered this morning not expecting much of anything. I'M TELLING YOU WITHIN AN HOUR I HAD MY COILY CURLS BACK!!!! The system is easy to follow and left my hair silky, shiny, and I could tell more hydrated than anything I've ever put on it. I am just so delighted I could cry!!! Give this box set a try, read the directions, don't towel dry your hair, and watch the magic happen!! This was my miracle cure and I'm so happy!
