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 Disappointing I was excited to try this product, I normally love Curlsmith. This seemed great at first, I used it, as recommended, with the hydro style flexi-jelly. My hair looked great the first day. The next time I used it, my hair looked great for about an hour, then it became dry and frizzy and the curls were lifeless and some were gone. I thought maybe I didn't use enough, so I tried it a third time careful to pay attention to the amount I used and the application method. Again, looked great for about an hour, then it looked like "just woke up, second day hair." I am very disappointed. This was expensive and with COVID 19, returning will be a hassle.

Overall, I'm unimpressed. I followed the directions by putting it in sopping wet hair but it feels like it did nothing. Maybe I need to try it again, but even when I put it in my hair it felt like it did nothing (no smoothing,softening, or added slip).
I've used the NYX curltalk leave-in that actually works for a fraction of the price. On top of that, I think this is culprit for so much additional frizz.
I have high porosity, fine, wavy hair and maybe it just isn't for my hair. It has awesome ingredients and a little goes a long way, so if you have low porosity, this may be for you.
If you have high porosity hair, go for the style balm.
Terrific product 5
Ana cat from Utah
I use this cream and either the hydro flex jelly or another gel. It's magical how I get curl definition, volume and softness. I love this cream!
I Liked It 5
Diane S. from South Florida
I used the product as a leave in under my gel. It absorbed into my strands and did not leave any residue. It paired well with my flaxseed gel and my hair was soft and had volume just the way I like it.
It made hair matted. 1
Justme from Virginia
It matted my hair. At first it seemed ok, then it changed. Matted mess. Couldn't even comb.
Had to wash it out the day after I first use. Hated it.
Its the frizz and hold for me 4
Reiner from Orlando, FL
I purchased this product when it was on sale and I'm happy I did. I love the concept behind this product. I apply to soaking wet hair because hyaluronic acid holds all the water. I tend to use this as my leave in conditioner and at times as a cream styler. Now if I combine it with just a gel by the second day my hair is frizzy and doesn't have the definition it would usually have on day 2. I make sure to apply this with a very moisturing cream style to add moisture to my 2c curls. Hyaluronic acid just like when it comes to skin care is a good base but it needs moisturing products on top to hold in all that moisture. I do like that it's light weight and my hair does dry faster either air drying or when I diffuse. Looking forward to trying more Curlsmith products.
This product is fantastic 5
Smiley Bandanna from Rhode Island

Love this!! 5
Kristy from Florida
I'm so glad I got this. It smells great. A little goes a lot. Yes it's expensive but it's my hair and it needs good, consistent products. This is one of those products.
Nice for 3c&4a natural hair 5
SP from Colorado
Smells fantastic. Very light didn't feel greasy. Wish it came in a bigger container.
Not that great 2
sad omie from Brooklyn, NY
This was so disappointing, not as great as I thought It would be. Applied per instructions and tried other ways as well its not that great. Hours later hair is frizzy and stringy and feels gross. The style balm is so much better. It's upsetting cause this isn't a cheap product so you expect decent results. oh well :(
I was amazed!!! Totally wasn't expecting this on 3c/4a hair! 5
Candita from DE
After washing, I applied to wet hair. Then, used a gel I already owned. I can't wait to try the In-Shower Fixer gel next time. Also great because my hair usually takes years to dry, lol! Seriously. And it's too hot to diffuse for me. But this leave-in conditioner is so light yet moisturizing. How they did that, I have no idea!? It's been a while since a product had me this shook!
New Fave! 5

I use this product right after either washing or refreshing my wash and go and my hair is soaking wet.
I will buy this product again... 5

Amazing 5
Heli from NY - New York
Love this product. I have fine curly hair. Basically all creams for styling tend to be heavy on my strands but not this one. This one really helps to do the job. I love it my hair looks awesome so glad I gave curlsmith a try.
Great for curly hair 5
Misa from Nevada
This product is amazing for high porosity curly hair. A little goes a long way with this but it's highly moisturizing and has a lot of slip and doesn't weigh hair down. Don't forget to seal with a gel and oil After.
Gave it a second try 5
Cmlo2 from Orlando
Less is more! Works great under the hold me softly balm n flex jelly ❤️
Yes 5
Silvia from Van Nuys ca
Is great I used it when my hair wet and my curls looks so great I love it
Didn't work for me 1
Cassandra87 from Columbus Ohio
I had high hopes for this. It was awful for me. It was heavy even when I didn't use much and it left my hair looking oily,greasy,frizzy and overall gross once dry. Also when I touched my hair, it left a greasy feeling on my hands. Probably won't try anything else from this brand.
Not lightweight 3
Noneya from Florida
If you have 2C-3A curls this may be a bit heavy. Yes it's super creamy and has great slip so I would say less is more. As where the Hold me Softly Balm I can apply a few nickel size amounts and have no greasy looking hair.
Heavier than it claims 3
Cml from Orlando
I actually don't find this lightweight at all. I used it alone and my hair looked wet/oily once dry. I prefer the hold me softly balm with the flexi gel
It's a good easy product 4
Lune from Washington
I like it. It's not the most incredible thing but it is a solid product that I would buy again, maybe just not full price. I do use this pretty often and I like it for my hair. It is lightweight, smells really good, makes your hair super soft and does help to create clumping. It is nice to use as a styler. I do wish it had some protein added because it kinda only lasts a day or so. I use the with the flexi gel and thought it had decent results. I liked it better with the Eva NYC mousse.
Love it ! 5
Neyiah from Philadelphia,PA
Absolutely love this air dry cream , this is agame changer! Wash day is cut in half.It does what it says even putting my hair in a protective style my hair was dry before the end of the day. Love the moisture , shine and ease to detangle . I don't mind having to wet my hair knowing that it won't take so long to dry. And using this with the hydro jelly win win combination.
I absolutely love this product 5
Mishy from Scottsbluff, NE
I absolutely love this product, finally a product for my fine curly low porosity hair. It is amazing!
