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.

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!
