Will this product weigh down fine thin curly hair? My hair is dry, frizzy, curly and wavy but fine and thin. Some curl creams are too heavy for my hair.

High shine, soft touchable curls
I am a curly girl who has embraced her curls since her teenage years, so it takes a lot to impress. The Bumble and Bumble bb Curl defining cream is definitely worthy of praise. For reference I have semi-tight s and c shaped curls (type 3B curls) . My hair is thick and very dry most of the time. I al...

Better than sex
I hate to report that this is my holy grail hair product. Why do I hate to report this? Well… the price is ridiculous. But for my hair-this is it. I get fairy princess multi day ringlet curls (using the twist and scruch method) that smell incredible. I've been using it for over a decade and I always end up coming back to it. I'm white with thick type 2 waves and curls. Everyone's hair is different but for me this is it!
