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...

Not for low-porosity curls
I really, really, really wanted to like this stuff. Thank heavens I got the trial size. I really should have checked the ingredient list before buying even that - the third item on the ingredient list is Coconut Oil, which has to be near the top of the list of things to avoid if you have low-poros...

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.
Great for wavy hair
My hair is that "irish curl" type, wavy underneath but not on top, and if styled without any wave definition it's a complete mess. This balm fixes that! I add a small amount to my hair post-shower by raking it through/scrunching and let it air dry. It definitely helps hydrate and define my frizzy waves better than any product I've tried so far. If used with a gel, I might get more hold, but this is a good first step!
Love this stuff!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
