This does for my hair what all the products of past decades promised but never achieved. It makes my hair soft, ultra ultra curly, defines the curls, keeps them in place so I don't need hair spray, eliminates bed head so all I need to do is fluff and go. It lets my hair express its great qualities, lets me step out of the shower and fluff without requiring careful application of different products in layers and using a diffuser and being unhappy with the results. It makes me happy about my natural self instead of always being at war with my hair. My color is gorgeous, definition is outstanding and I've never seen such curls. As a bonus, this product has a slightly musky and mysterious fragrance that is bewitching. I read that argan oil is effective because it can penetrate the hair instead of lying on the surface. It has to be mixed with other things to make a hair product, so some of the ingredients look like what would be found in any other Brand X hair product, but using this has shown me that the ingredient mix is ideal, at least for my hair. I wish I had found this decades ago. I had no idea what my curls were capable of doing and now I have saved so much time and self-criticism. My natural curls are indeed a crowning glory instead of a frizzy curse. Read more
Overall, I really like this product. It's been about 3 weeks since I started using it, after switching to something new from my usual Aveda hair cream. My curls are defined and bouncy; not greasy, crunchy, or heavy. That being said, the packaging is not great. It has a metal spring and pump top that comes loose every time I try to put the clear cap on. To avoid this, I have to leave the cap off, as it's very touchy. It's also worth noting that this product has a strong, floral fragrance that lasts for days. It's not my favorite scent, as I'm not a floral kind of girl, but it's not bad enough to deter me from using it. I wouldn't say this is my all-time favorite styling product because of the packaging and scent, but it definitely works well and that's what matters to me most! Read more
I am not sure how to rate this product… IF it smelled good, I’d use it near daily, but sadly it just scents absolutely horrible to me!!! I mean it really & truly does indeed smell just like what the other reviewer said!!!- “an overwhelming florally perfumed tampon type smell” and I was praying she was wrong about it! Well, she SOOO was NOT wrong! She was absolutely spot in! And accurate! It’s completely & totally off putting to say the least…and it’s on your hair so the scent is stuck in your face all day!! Usually too, I just luv all scents!!! Plus, even tho scent is so subjective, I normally like stronger scents. I even normally luv all the diff scents that are in hair products and stuff like that! I’m not even very picky either. I like clean scents, floral scents, sweet ones, male scents, fruit scents, strong and subtle scents, combined scents, etc etc etc! so just all kinds really, etc, etc, etc.. but tho, as for THIS scent!!- NOPE. Just No. Just yuck. To me, It really seriously does indeed smell like a very, very, old, old, lady smell in that cartoon type joke scent of bedpans and old lady strong perfume that is like the old, old, lady kind of overpowering & overblown floral perfume scent… U know the scent from way back when that I mean.. Like super strong floral funk w a hint of camphor or eucalyptus and lotsa Extra power floral horror!! -like yeah that type of smell. It’s just really really bad to me. (Oddly tho, my young daughter says it’s not near as bad to her! And she’s 21, & I’m 44. So that’s just odd to me.. Now ok, that info Is only regarding the scent part of the product. On to the product and if it works… Well, it does work! & it works really well too! Sadly, this product really & truly works better than anything else that I have EVER used for curls… So now I’m stuck w this product, cuz I can’t use it w it smelling so strong in my face all day…& I can’t not use it if I need curls.. maybe if I mix it w a diff product, it might kill the scent?? I mean Maybe If I didn’t smell it every single time I turned my head & when I also Don’t turn my head, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad & maybe then it would be great!!! I mean heck, if they just changed the scent, I would so be a customer for Life and I’d definitely buy it all over again,& agn & agn & agn! But, I just won’t use this like it is. Not like it is now. I just can’t. I really intensely dislike the overwhelming floral & sulphuric scent combined in it. So, while it does work on making your curls last & look great. It also does unfortunately, indeed feel a bit crunchy feeling (but that oddly also is only up til it dries fully tho, but then it really just felt soft & normal feeling afterwards, which was surprising and Great to me and I was super happy cuz then I had ringlet curls like I rarely have unless I use a diffuser!! And I just straight air dryer my hair, & I looked super curly & great! Heck even on day 2 my curls are pretty great stilllll!!!! So yeah, this is just my blunt and straight up honest review on a conflicting & absolutely great working product that sadly just smells AWFUL…to me anyways… Also, THANKFULLY, I don’t get this same weirdly off putting scent from the same exact brand of (4 curly) shampoo and conditioner, that I bought w this cream, so that’s very odd…-But also good too, since I’m at least able to continue using those 2 bottles at least.. just not the cream.. So, all in all, I WOULD give this product 5 stars (without the stink), but with it —nope! Cuz I’ll prob not ever use this product again, so I want to give it one star truthfully. Since I don't think that’s super fair (w scent being so opinion based), Instead, I just split the diff and gave it 3… cuz it truly does work. P.S. & just sayin’ also, that the scent I mention b4, is not an expired product type of smell either!, cuz I thought that at 1st, that maybe it might be? But nope.. just no. OK, That’s it. The most honest & complete & unbiased review that I can give. Sorry it’s so long! & Last, Best luck & well wishes to all of us curl girls. Read more
