Most Helpful Positive Review I was skeptical - but this is amazing I have pretty fine but a lot of it wavy/curly hair. Just coming back to the cgm after blowing my hair out for a little over a year. I also have extremely sensitive skin/scalp. I've tried curlsmith's heavier oil/cream products and they were a huge no from me - weighed my hair down but are probably great for more textured and higher up 3/4 patterns.
I decided to give this one a shot and I love it. After conditioning or deep conditioning and rinsing out, I get my hair soaking wet and run a denman through it. After brushing I put so much of this stuff on it really should weight my hair down, but it really doesn't. Probably 4 tablespoons and I only have shoulder length hair, but I really slather it on using praying hands. I could probably do just that, but I add a gel or a cream later on after I let it dry for about twenty minutes.
Doesn't irritate my sensitive scalp and it leaves my hair moisturized and curly without weighing it down at all. I usually have to be really careful about adding products because they weigh me down but this one is like magic
Most Helpful Critical Review Product Gave Beautiful Curls But Caused Excessive Shedding I am providing this review in an effort to assist others who may be experiencing the same effect as I have. I read the reviews before buying and found that a lot of people love this product, but there were a few who experienced increased and excessive hair shed. I am one of those people. I am part of an online hair group and brought this up in my group and found that there were a handful of others who experienced the same with this particular product line. I am not sure which product it is, but all of them contain similar preservatives, emulsifiers, and "detox" agents, so I am leaving this review on all of the products I used. The product created great curls, shine, and definition, smelled great and slip was wonderful….but my hair shedding quadrupled and didn't stop until I stopped use. I took photos of my loss after using this. The photo was two days between wash and style. The subsequent wash was with another product I've used before without incident and shedding decreased by half. If you are experiencing increased hair shedding, this may not be for you.

Great leave in 4
Chelsey from Cincinnati
For context, I have waist-length 2b-3a hair. It's fine, but dense. It gets dry, especially during the winter, but it also gets weighed down easily. This cream is incredibly thick and hydrating. I do have to be careful applying it. I like to apply it right at the end of my shower to make sure my hair is wet enough. I emulsify it with some water and rake it through my hair. I start at the ends and work up the lengths of my hair, making sure to avoid my roots. I use a wet brush to make sure my hair is evenly coated and squish to condish. Then I plop and style my hair as usual. Whether I air dry or diffuse, my hair looks great after using this. If I don't feel like styling my hair at all, I just brush it after squeezing out all of the excess water with a microfiber towel and still get looser waves that aren't limp. Also, it smells amazing. It smells like watermelon to me. The only downside is the price. It's a bit expensive for me. I only need a quarter size amount for all of my hair, though, so it should last me awhile.
Amazing 5
Chattsbeck from Fort Lauderdale
I saw Biancarenee use this and I figured I should try. I have thin curly hair 3b and I needed a product that would moisturize my hair and THIS prouduct just one use has made me happy. My hair is more defined, shiny and no frizz
Switching from deva curl to Curlsmith 5
Dani from Ny
Love the smell of this product and loved the light weight application
It's not bad 4
mel from NJ
It's not a bad leave in conditioner. But I bought it thinking it was a curling cream. It might be a lil greasy if you put too much. But overall it's not a bad product.
Great Product 5
Liz from CT
I used this product after air drying my hair a little. It works great if you don't want to use oils and gels and have thinner hair. The smell is appealing. Would purchase from time to time since it's more on the expensive side.
Love this! 5
Jenna from Bel Air
I use this with the hydro flexi jelly, and I've never been more happy with a hair product! I have fine curly hair, and I love how effective this product is in fighting frizz without being too heavy. 10/10 would recommend
Love this! 5
Carter from VA
Absolutely love how this makes my hair feel and look! I use the jelly as well and it's the perfect combination!
Greasy 2
NKW from Tennessee
I really wanted to love this product, and upon first application, I did. It smells lovely just like the wash and scrub. However, I am not sure if it is the scrub leaving my scalp and hair greasy or this cream. I applied this immediately after washing on soaking wet hair as it says. I used my favorite extremely lightweight mousse and diffused. Day one it left my hair really moisturized and I have dry type 3b/3c curls. However, on day two I noticed how greasy my scalp had become, like I can see the shine one my finger tips. It also left my hair limp, which is something I typically do not struggle with. Overall, I will have to try it one more wash without the scrub to see if it was the shampoo or the cream. Either way my scalp is honestly the greasiest it's ever been, and I do not struggle with this issue.
Very good product for fine curly hair 5
Pili from Boca Raton, FL
I have fine curly hair. I lost a lot of my curl pattern due to highlights and Devacurl. I've seen ringlets for the first time in almost 6 months when I used this product the first time. I do not diffuse my hair with this product.
No frizz! 5
DM from Charleston, SC
Used after washing with Curlsmith co-wash and followed it with the hydro flexi jelly. Left my hair without frizz and the combo of the air dry-cream and jelly held my curls all day. Love Curlsmith products. Work great with my very fine, low density, 3a curls.
Lightweight 5
Allynbelle from VA
I've got fine, high porosity 2C/3A curls and I've never found a leave-in that didn't weigh my curls down until I tried this Weightless Air Dry Cream. I paired it with the Hydro Flex Jelly as recommended and the results were phenomenal. I had shiny, bouncy curls and my hair didn't feel gross or heavy on refresh days.
Curly Game Changer! 5
Cheyenne R from California
I have 3C/4A curls so I'm always looking for something that will last for a few days since I deal with dryness. This was so moisturizing and defining. It doesn't take much to refresh during the week and it was very soft. I also used it with the Curl Style Soufflé gel which came out bomb! I'll definitely buy this again and I'll try it with the Hydro Gel next!
Just ok 4
Cml from Florida
So I have dished out a good $300 on curlsmith this year. Tried everything from the scalp line to the gel. I also have my opinion on which gels I prefer and the flexi jelly is good. However this leave in gives me different results each time. If you use the slightest bit too much, greasy, and stringy curls. Some times I scrunch the gel cast with this and love it. I think protein is missing. All their products are very hydrating but protein free. I switched back to shea moisture manuka leave in, then added Curlsmith balm and gel.
Adding into the weekly routine 4
AJ from New York
My hair loves moisture and soaks up everything with coconut oil beautifully but Im prone to buildup, sebum overload and scalp breakouts if used with my daily cowash. So far this cream cycled in does the trick between my weekly deep wash/scrub. This won't give the slip of the oil in cream and dries dryer than the style balm; If you need that extra moisture look elsewhere. If you have low/low-ish porosity and want soft coils this stuff is gold!
Most definatley I would purchase this product again! 5
Ratti from Concord, CA

Best I have ever used along with Flexy Jelly 5

Buy this!! 5
Edi from New York
I've tried tons of products in the past cause I have fine, low density, frizzy hair and nothing seemed to work for me without weighting it down until I found this!!! I used paired with the Flexi Jelly and I'm amazed!! Fully defined curls for days without weighting my hair down and no frizz! I'll never stop buying this again!
Holy grail 5
Brooke from MN
I've tried so many leave-ins, and this by far is the best I've used! My hair reacts so well to this line from curlsmith. However, this is not a stand-alone product for me, because I need protein too and this is heavy on moisture.
Definitely a "No" 1
MK from NJ
No"
I'm so disappointed. Have wanted to try this brand for awhile. Took advantage of the recent sale to purchase a few products. Don't understand all the hype over these products. My hair looked and felt awful. I paired the flexi jelly with the weightless air dry cream, as directed - frizzy, poofy, with a "coated" feeling. Also, the scent is very strong (& unpleasant to me). I didn't have luck with the other products, either. I should've realized that, when I could smell the products through the packaging, before even opening. 👎🏻👎🏻 Won't buy anything else from this brand
I am purchasing this again 5
Jackie from Lebanon, IN
I am impressed. I have fine curly hair that gets weighed down easily. I also deal with dry ends by day2 and dry scalp. No issues with this product. In fact, my husband and children are curlies too. My husband had his own set of products but this works great on his hair too. He stopped using them. One product works for the whole family!
