This stuff is amazing!
I received this product in my FabFitFun summer 2021 box. I rarely write reviews but my experience with this product has been so incredible that I just have to share.

Leaves a white cast and dandruff in your hair
I have 3a curls and bought this product because I ran out of my usual products while visiting family. The Ulta in their area didn't carry my other curly hair products so I purchased the AG line and I was really disappointed. I used this product on refresh day and wash day and the results were differ...

Good Stuff! Does not weigh hair down. Gave my hair great definition and nice volume. A little goes a long way
Type 4 hair girls
Loveee this product!
One of the worst creams I've tried
This product is definitely not for my coily hair. The leave-in conditioner worked like a charm and did a pretty good job of defining my hair. However, when I used the cream it only defined two chunks of my hair. It also left a weird white cast on my hair, dried out all of the moisture from the brand's leave-in conditioner, and caused a lot of flaking the next day. Absolutely would not recommend!
Best curl cream
I have high porosity 3b/c har and by the time i get to the other half of my section when stuling my hair is already halfway dry. Whe i put this in and them style one half the other half just needs to be brushed and all the hydration comes back. I'm usually never crazy about a hair product but this is something I'll keep buying and recommend (especially if u have curly high porosity) if ur hair is wavy it might be too heavy or sticky for you. Especially for tbe price point, also if you have low plrksity i would rotate this weekly since it has some pea protein:) The leave in is also great!
