Michelle B - Hair Type: 3b I am a 3b, and I found this product worked really well to define my curls without heaviness or crunch. Truly a unique product.

azuridiva - Hair Type: 4a I swear by this stuff. I love the fact that it is clear and leaves no white flakes. It actually makes my hair shine. Super moisturizing. After a few weeks of use my hair is silky to the touch. I actually see curls in what was previously a thick puff of hair.

caramelove - Hair Type: Gives the best definition I have ever seen so far. Even better than FOTE aloe vera gel that I used to use. I have had several great curly days after the initial use. Well worth the investment. Once moisturizer is applied never had to remoisturize and I have very dry thick and coarse 3c hair that sops up everything. :)

FAB40 - Hair Type: 4a I did the big chop and I use this product. I love it! It defines my curls and moisturizes my 3b/4a hair. I use a leave in conditioner with this product. Less is more!

lollis0313 - Hair Type: 4a My daughter's hair is a 4b; this product did a wonderful job to define her natural curly hair--she loved it. Now we have another option for her hair other than braids for her beautiful natural hair. Thank you.

janeles77 - Hair Type: 3c This is an all time favorite, A product I could not live without, running low I am panicing. It adds moisture which I love, shine and defines my curls (my hubsband loves). It leaves curls that can last looking good up to 2-3 days. I just hydrate with Greg Juice and run my finger through it and go! It's wonderful. I do use the kinky knot today as well. Only thing is kccc is sticky... But, that is something I can look over, cause it does my hair so good... : )

LoloDSM - Hair Type: 2b One of my favorite products and definitely a favorite styler. My hair is 2C/3A, and this gives me touchably soft, bouncy curls. It dries crunchy but easily scrunches out. And it smells wonderful! I'm only giving it three curls because it doesn't have great hold on humid days and my hair is more prone to frizz than with a firmer holding gel. Overall though, it is a wonderful product for my fine hair.

afrosheenqueen - Hair Type: 4a Hug tub so this will last a while. I like that it gives me frizz free curls that last.I love how when this dries it leaves my hair moisturized.
It goes with the humidity too. If its drier my hair is a little harder than when their is more humidity. Less is more I also found out as this will get your hair HARD. It took some playing with but I definietly like it now that I get consistent results. Any leave in will do besides Knot Today.

kei - Hair Type: 3c i purchased the entire line of KC products, directly from their website. needless to say, i waited almost 5 weeks to actually receive my products! that was my first drawback with the whole KC thing. i followed the directions, and despite my using the KCKT with the KCCC my hair still turned out crunchy and had little stick-like pieces poking out. needless to say, i gave all that KC crap away...i just hate that i spent over $100 on it!

StepNOut - Hair Type: 3b This product is drying and it leaves the hair on the crunchy side. I do like the addedcurl definition that it provides, but it is hard to get this product to give you soft, natural curls versus hard,natural curls.
And, I got these types of results after first using the Knot Today and then the Custard. I will use the product up only because I paid alot of money. But, after all is used up, I won't be ordering anymore Kinky-Curly products ever again.

catwin75 - Hair Type: 4a After reading the reviews on this product, I decided to give it a try. While it does make the hair soft and I did get a lot of curl definition, my hair actually shrunk more when it dried and it leaves these horrible white, moist flaker on your hair. Someone would think you have a bad case of dandruff, but it's the product. I used it with Knot Today so I don't know if I used too much or what. That's my only draw back out this. Great curl definition and shine though. :-)

rudeechick - Hair Type: 3b I CAN NOT get over the curks I get when I use this product! If you want shiny, soft, bouncy curls this is yer go-to! I layer it over their KCKT, with awesome results. The only drawback would be humidity resistance - but otherwise I get compliments all day long when I go with this combo!

GuyanaGal718 - Hair Type: 3c Really good results when used with the Knot Today. I used this product for at least a year when I first went natural and I really enjoyed the results. I'm a college student, so money is tight. If it weren't so pricey I would probably use it once in a while.
The smell is yummy too.

opera_curls - Hair Type: 3b KCCC, used with KCKT, is the closest thing I've ever had to a HG combo. I get silky ropes of curls every time I use it, with almost no frizz. The hold is pretty light once the crunch is scrunched out, so it might not be the best for thick, coarse hair. My fine hair loves it! Definitely a keeper!

msgiblet - Hair Type: When I bought this, I really expected it not to work well at all on my loose, 3a curls. Surprisingly, I get wonderful, shiny spirals!! It dries with some crunch, but once I've scrunched it out when it's dry, my hair is SO soft; feels like there's no product at all in my hair! I'm giving it 3 curls instead of 4 because it doesn't do as well in very hot, humid weather unless a little harder hold gel is put on top. During cooler, less humid weather, though, it's FABULOUS!

curliebird - Hair Type: 4b I find this KCC to be very helpful! No comparison to Miss Jessies Curly Pudding! That stuff was the worst. The more I use KCC the better my hair gets! I started about 2wks ago and it was horrible, honestly. I cudnt get the hang of it, but i stuck to it and figured out how much to use and a technique to putting it in my hair and now i can get at least 4-5 days of wear with one application.
TIPS: To get to 2, 3, or 4th day hair a spray bottle is my best friend! When i wake up after wearing a bonnet, it is a little matted but add some squirts of water to the ends and the curls come back to life. U may have to add some product to certain areas. Also do not touch after final scrunching while wet or it will get ugly/frizzy on the 1st day. I use a diffuser to help with my ends sometimes. My roots stay wet (my hair is thick and holds water) for most of the 1st day. But by day 2 i can pull out the curls and style as big wild hair and it looks great. Also I put a little coconut oil on the curls to soften and shine if needed after a couple.
Give it a try and stick with it, It really works!!!!
I have lil flaking and hardly no crunching

Tdiaz30 - Hair Type: 3c Type 3c: I tried this product for the first time on 06/28/08, and I loved it. It took away all my frizz, which was a big problem for me and also gave me great definition and a little shine. Also,it left just enough moisture in my hair. It did not elongate my curls as I wanted, but 2 out of 3 ain't bad. I will continue to use this products because I have tried so many and finally I got something that works for me.

redcelticcurls - Hair Type: This is my staple gel, although it isn't like your typical gel.
As others have stated, it works best over the Knot Today. If you want to use use a less expensive leave-in, ones without oils and glycerin seem to fare better.
A tub lasts a long time, and I easily get second day hair with this. It does take a bit of a learning curve at first, but works well once you work out the amount that your hair needs.
Hair does take longer to dry with this than with other gels I have used.
It is very moisturizing and even gives me a bit of shine.

rn1985pa - Hair Type: 4b Wow....I have never been so unimpressed by a product in a long time!! My hair is a 4a-4c hair type that is a little longer than shoulder length and very thick. My whole experience with this company has been very traumatic!! First of all, I had to wait a total of 4 weeks to recieve my products; both the knot today and the curly custard. For whatever reason, they are always out! Then, when I apply the products, it seems nice and my hair is soft. But you essentially have to keep your hair wet to maintain the look after the inital application! So, someone recommended that I not use the knot today. Once again, I had the softness,but not the elongated curls I had hoped for! Not for me!

sednique009 - Hair Type: 4b wow this product is a life saver.when i first used KCCC i was shocked to learn that it was a gel.me and gels don't get along,but this one is a total oposite.

missmonie - Hair Type: I love this product for curl definition and frizz control. I have 4a hair, but the front is just wavy and KCCC/Knot Today actually gives me texture on the wavy section which is great.
It does dry crunchy, but you can unscrunch. Second and third day hair is also a major benefit!! I agree that the product application is a bit strange....my hair feels rubbery and if I don't work it through fast, my hair will feel tangled. But nothing that a dab of water can't correct!

lilmsrosie87 - Hair Type: 4a This product smells great!! When I first used it, my hair was extremely flakey. After using it a second time, I still got flakes. As far as curl definition, its ok. Nothing spectacular. But I will try 2 use this product with the Knot Today conditioner in hopes of better results since I have read may people with my hair type have had better luck using the leave in conditioner.

mysteryflavored - Hair Type: 3a A very unique styler. It works best over Knot Today, but I've used it with other leave-ins with almost-as-good results. The consistency is slimy and snotty, but it smells amazing. Application is bizarre -- you need to work QUICKLY or else it won't distribute at all. No drippies with this stuff, and my hair dries faster than it does with other gels. Before scrunching, it's super crunchy and curls look stringy, but afterwards my hair is full and soft and shiny. I can even get second-day hair with this! I would give it 4 curls, but application is a little too much work, and can sometimes be hit-or-miss.

dominicancurls06 - Hair Type: 3c The smell is delicious. Slippery slimey consistency. Amazing curl definition. Very shiny. Little frizz (best product Ive used for the frizz). Only downfall is that my hair does not feel very moisturized. I just ordered the Knot Today so perhaps it will feel different when I used both products in conjunction. However, for a product to get 4 curls it MUST stand on its own, especially for $25.

teshon - Hair Type: 3c I find the use of KCCC pointless, unless you are a person that prefers a styler that dries harder than a gel. This stuff gets rock hard! Knot Today is its softner. One is no good really without the other. One can't really get the most out of the KCCC without Knot Today. Knot Today is mediocre in moisturizing abilities. Good as a pair but very expensive due to the constant replenishing of Knot Today. Wouldn't be my personal choice. I prefer products that can stand alone.

pjackso2 - Hair Type: 2b The product comes in a huge tub. I have coarse hair with a tendency to curl. Curling Custard makes my hair CURL! Nice body and curls, curls, curls. I color treat my hair, so this product also conditions. I do not comb it through, I scrunch it through my hair and let it air dry. If the curls are crunch, just use your fingers to comb through. I have lots of other curling products. This one is the best.

Suburbanbushbabe - Hair Type: 4a More than a year after using this product unsuccessfully (sticky, piecey, hard curls), I revisited it with doubts. This time I used it on top of Knot Today. This product combo rocks; it gives me smooth, silky, frizz-free and bouncy texture that lasts 2-3 days and doesn't feel dry on the 2nd day. So what changed? Not the product. Must have been my hair and the Knot Today.
