I LOVE this stuff! Smells fantastic (bananas) and it works even better! Use it daily as a LI under my CIAB. Leaves hair super soft, no frizz, perfectly shape spirals for my 3A/3B/3C curls. Did I mention, I love this product??!! Part of my HG, now. CJ is really a class act! Great products for all curls. Happy currrlygurrly, with all the CJ products.

My HG! I use this over curl junkies coffee coco creme. I apply both in the shower and finger comb through, then skip-curled a few pieces. It increases the curliness, definition, shine and volume with no crunch! If your hair is like mine (very fine, color-damaged, 3b/c curls) and you live in a dry cold place like me give these two a try! The best part? This combo gives me great second day hair! (I never have second day hair!)

I have 3c/4a curls. DO NOT mix this product with any other product. It leaves product build up so you will see white wet junk. I tried applying by itself, it leaves your hair dry and poofy. Not good for wash and gos. ITS GOOD FOR TWIST OUTS!!! But i dont like doing twist outs and was hoping this product would be good for a wash and go.

This LI left little white pieces in my hair, it can't be mixed w/ any other product b/c it'll react & it's too heavy as a LI for my hair. I usually like to use heavy products b/c my hair is thick, but not this time. I gave it 2 curls b/c the smell was okay. (However, the Curl Junkie H&B Deep Fix is the best DC I have ever used..interesting)

I purchased this thinking that it would be great for my hair and help to give my curls definition; however, that didn't happen, it was just hard and dry. It recommends using it on twist outs so I guess I will try that next, for the price I need to try and figure out something to do with it. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it smells wonderful. I really wanted to like this leave-in too :(

One of my favorite leave-ins...so moisturizing. It works equally well on the kinkier and looser curls on my head and mixes well with my gelly stying products. Kills frizz but leaves bounce!

Hair Type: 3b I really like this product. I got a sample of it and the first thing i noticed when I opened it was how awesome it smelled kinda like tea with honey. I used it on its own and got more curl definition than with other leave-ins i've used. Later i used it under my normal gel and I got amazing cur definition and very nice second day curls. It only gets 4 curls because i'm looking for a more all in one product.

Love this leave in! Even though it is thick, it does not weigh down my hair at all! My hair stays moisturized all day long.

A rich LI/styler that's good for protective styling as well as a wash n go under CIAB or a med to harder hold gel. The richness may make this more appropriate for colder vs. warmer climates.

Pleasantly surprised about the results. Though it has beeswax, I did not make my hair hard and dry. Very moisturizing. Have already repurchased.

This stuff is great! Smells yummy. No only does it work great under other Curl Junkie products, but also works great under ANY other brand of curly pudding, gel and butter.

I really like this product. I think depending on the look you're going for and the type of hold you want, this works well. I noticed others mentioning the stickiness and heaviness and this is heavy, but I haven't experienced any stickiness or flaking. I've used this for two strands twists and wash n go's. This product is definitely my second fav styling product next to KCCC.

I used this as a leave-in and then plopped. My hair was almost totally unshrunken and smooth, even after plopping. Definitely a product for tighter curls. I like it.

Really liked this. Is quite thick and rich. I was surprised that it didn't weigh my hair down. I suspect it will be a winter only conditioner for me though. Fine haired curlies would likely find this one too heavy. No frizz after I used it. Hair felt great. Smells really nice as well.

This product started out great. Smooth, creamy texture. Nice cake batter scent. Provided a lot of moisture, shine and was the perfect weight for my hair when applied to wet hair. Not too heavy as w/ other butta/creams. The results were different once my hair air-dried. The moisture didn't last and after a week of use my hair felt very producty. Beware of the wax!

A little heavy for my 3b curls. It's meant for coarser, kinkier curls. But it's very rich and moisturizing.

Left my 4b/4a hair soft and moist. Provided good definition when applied to wet hair. Be careful not to use too much or it will coat the hair and flake off!

I felt really hesistant about this leave-in because of the beeswax so I only applied it to a single curl that was a little flyaway. However, it became very suffocated-frizzy (unlike the surrounding curls) and enlongated until it was barely wavy as if the humidity couldn't reach it to boost my curl or because it was too heavy--hard to tell which was the reason.

I love the moisturizing properties of this, but it is definitely too heavy for my hair. I bet it would be awesome on 3C-4B hair though.
