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

    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.

    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!

    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!
