My #1 Cannot Live Without
I've tried it all. Moroccan oil, Ouidad, Ojon, Coconut Oil, you name it. Nothing seemed to help me hold on to the definition of my curls. I have very fair skin, but kinky, frizzy, and unruly curls. Curls that I just knew could be beautiful if handled right. A stylist used this Styling Balm on my hai...

Sticky and drying
Quick background (because I hate giving low reviews just because a product doesn't work specifically for me): I have a thicker head of fine hair that falls between 2b-3A type curls for the most part.

Great product!
I am sensitive to scents, and have fine hair which can be wavy to curly, as long as it isn't weighed down. Using a little of this will help to give me a touch of flexible hold. The scent is clean and nice, not overpowering and goes away. Doesn't make my hair crunchy or feel like there is a lot of stuff product in it. I've been using it for a few years now, and it is one of my go to products.
My favorite balm
After washing and detangling my hair I add this balm and brush with a wet hair brush. It adds moisture and definition to my curls, I finish up with gel or mousse to give a stronger hold. I also use it to refresh my curls when it they get a little puffy or dry.
Great curl support !

Non greasy moisture for soft curls!
9/10
it's perfect but a little heavy and easy to use too much. I have thin hair so I know to only use a little thick honestly is a plus because now the bottle will last longer!!!
Nope
I prefer the air dry cream better. I thought that this would be similar to that, but with a little bit of hold, so my curls would be more defined, however, it made my hair dry and I didn't like how thick it was when I was putting it on my hair.
