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. Humid climates, my hair curls on loose corkscrews. Dry climates, my hair is fly-away and staticky. B...

Great for my fine, higher density, low porosity 4b 4c hair
At first I doubted this product was for me bc I have 4b 4c hair and have only used gels with curl creams for styling fir the last 10 years. CurlSmith recommended to me on their site's quiz. However, Im so glad I got this! Most natural hair products are too heavy for me and sit on my hair, making it greasy and not moisturized and or dry and flaky. However, this one was lightweight and gave my hair immediate definition. I really like this alone, but I also like it combined with the Weightless Air Dry Cream. I apply both in the shower on soaking wet hair and distribute with my paddlebrush and denman brush. The first time, I did bantu knots to set for a curly hairstyle the next day. It dried before I even went to sleep! Even before I went to sleep, I could feel the softness in my hair and see the visible shine my hair had on the roots. I have never had my hair shine before like with CurlSmith Products. It was like a Naptural85 type of shine that I didnt even know was possible for me! Please go get this product if you have hair like mine. The hold is great for a curl cream/balm. I can use it to set my edges and smooth for a puff also. I can use it to dry refresh my curls without it reverting.
Holy crap FINALLY
I have wavy/curly hair. Products are usually too heavy and weigh my hair down OR too light and do absolutely nothing. Got the travel size to try it out. Defined waves/curls and reduced frizz. So happy.
No go for me
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I was hoping this would work for me but it did not help with frizz as I live in Florida with very high humidity. Also it smells terrible.
Wow!
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I love this product! It's light weight and it does wonders to my curls! It doesn't leave any flakes like other curl products. It's very easy to apply. I totally recommend. Only problem is the price. Therefore I suggest stocking up when it's on sale.
Best non-greasy hair cream!
I absolutely love this product and how it has a tiny bit of hold to it which is perfect for me (I don't like crunchy hair gels). I purchased the trial size in store. I feel that it is waaaay less greasy than Ouidad's Featherlight Style Cream and it goes on damp hair much easily. A little goes a long way and I often mix it with a bit of hair serum. Will be purchasing the full size!
