- Q
I have 3a/3b curls that look great after diffusing but are usually flat by the end of the day. What AG products should I use? Should I combine?
- Asked by Nancy
- Official Answer By AG Care - Brand EngageGreat question! Re:coil gives a soft-medium hold all day, it's reactivated with water and is applied to damp or wet hair. Re:coil is recommended for 3A-4C hair. While, Definer gives a soft hold all day, requires reapplication to activate curls and can be applied on damp or dry hair; and it's recommended for all hair types. Both products are silicone-free, activates, defines and enhances curl patterns while offering humidity control and creates slight cast. For additional hold, Mousse Gel or Liquid Effects can be layered on. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

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...

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!
Game changer

Very happy to find this product. First time finding a styler that doesn't leave hair feeling crusty, heavy, or greasy.
