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

I like (not love)this product. It does define,elongate,moisturize and delivers incredible shine to my 4a/b hair. However,it takes a lot of practice in using the correct amount - too much can make your hair feel gummy all week and looks like a jherri curl. Too little and its almost a waste. When you use the correct amount, I still feel like there is a ton of product in my hair, and at times I break out on my forhead from it (I have sensitve skin).

OhMyGosh! I love this product. It is very moisturizing. I must say I haven't used it with Knot Today yet (it's on order) so I can't wait to pair them since I like KCCC with my other leave in conditioner so much. My hair hasn't been this soft with any other product that I've tried so far and I'm not all frizzy either. This product has a much softer and moisturizing effect than Curl Keeper. One trick is finding the right amount. The first time I tried it I applied too much and had stringy hair. Since then I've adjusted the amount I use and I love the results. This is a must have for anyone with dry, frizzy curls!

Really didn't like this at all. No hold, no frizz control. I got minimal hold letting my hair air dry, but no hold and major frizz after wet pineappling. My hair looked so bad I had to put it up, and am seriously considering straightening it for the first time in over a year. Sooo disappointed. And I used it with KCKT too.

I LOVE this product. I keep straying to try new products, but always come back to it. I haven't found anything that defines and holds my 3c curls better. My hair looks great days afterward too. I know I sound like a commercial, but this stuff is seriously great...and the jar lasts forever too.

LOVE IT!! This is my #1 styling product. I have very thick, coffee-stirrer sized curls and this stuff keeps my thirsty curls from shrinking. I used to use Knot Today (which is a good product) under it but now I use Carol's Daughter Hair Milk instead. Since I only wash my hair once a week, I need something that's going to last. After washing my hair, I saturate every strand with KCCC, combing it thru completely and let air dry. For the rest of the week, all I have to do in the mornings is wet my hair with a little water, run my fingers thru my hair and let it air dry. One jar lasts me over a month so its worth the money to me.

I'm giving 3 curls for now. I tryed with the KT and it definitely works better. My hair is very thick and poofy. The first day it looks like a jerry curl, after crunching it dries and poofs a bit. The second day I have an afro again. At this rate I redo about every 2 to 3 days, way too expensive. I'll try the spritz on the second day but water usually makes it more poofy not more curly.

Hey, after reading the wonderful thing others was saying about this product I had to try it for myself. I was using Ms Jessie product for years and my hair just needed a change. KKCC along with Knot Today made my hair wake up and pop with curls day after day also when I re-washed my hair it was softer with less tangles and shedding. Yes, a little goes along way.

I can't say enough great things about this product! Since I decided to follow a (modified)curly girl routine about five weeks ago, I've bought $$$ in product and have been consistently disappointed, with one exception (jessicurl's rockin ringlets and confident coils. love that stuff). but when i tried KCCC with KC Knot Today leave-in conditioner before, I was amazed. I dried my hair, and what i saw was wonderful. but the true test would come the next day, and the next. an entire week later, i was shocked at how great my hair looked WITHOUT any additional style product. I just mist with water in the mornings and go! i love this and i'm never using anything else again. be aware, though, a little does go a long way, so for the first day, i thought my hair was too hard, but the following days it worked itself out beautifully. This is worth the money. Five enthusiastic curls!!

Oh, my! I haven't been able to find any way not to have good to great hair days with this product. I always rake then squish it in. I've tried it after Kinky-Curly Knot Today, after Jessicurl Aloeba, after DevaCurl B'Leave In, you name it. My best ever results, though, have been when I added a dab to a dollop of B'Leave In, and mix them together before raking and squishing them in, then scrunching -- soft, bouncy, beautiful ringlets that stay well hydrated. I love this stuff!

KCCC has literally transformed my hair! I have a mixture of curls and waves that are coarse, prone to frizz, porous and med. thick. I don't need a lot of this stuff (which is good because it is expensive, but worth every penny). It makes my hair shiny and soft, I have great volume, beautiful curl/wave definition and best of all NO FRIZZ. You need to experiment with the amount you use and whether or not you need to use it with a leave-in or gel or both (I don't, I use it alone but may experiment with a leave-in if the mood strikes). I apply it to wet hair upside down then flip my head up, arrange it and apply a little more to the outer layers. I let it air dry for a while then diffuse it for 3 minutes or so. Awesome hair even in the rain!

This product combined with the Knot Today leave-in is the perfect styler for me. It's expensive, but a little bit goes a long way. Leaves me with soft, shiny, moisturized, curly coils, and I love the smell! It seems to have a conditioning effect also as my hair seems to be thicker, stronger, and softer than it was before I started using it. The longer I use it, the better my curl/coil definition seems to be. Will definitely repurchase.

I was so worried about spending 25 bucks on this product but I must say kkcc is worth every penny. I have a head of plentiful, fine 3b-3c curls. I've seen a lot of excellent reviews on this product but I'm not sure if some of it's customers are aware of it's versatility. With kkcc after adding a good leave-in conditioner,(I use Giovanni Direct Leave-in) you can define your curls and let them dry. A little goes a long way. This product has incredible HOLD. I wet set my hair in large magnetic rollers and the results were amazing. It looked like the sets I had when I was relaxing my hair but much healthier lots of body. KKCC is a great product to use if you want to straighten without the flat iron or direct heat for awsome shiny curls. Use it to touch up your set, smooth a little at the hairline and pull back into ponytails and up-do's. Wash and go or set-it. Any product that can do all that is well worth the money! Love it!

Love, love, love this product. My hair is coils scattered among the frizzy stuff that sometimes falls into waves/curls but mostly has a mind of its own. KCCC, really defines the coils and helps the other hair to clump and act a little more like the definite curls. And the shine/sheen it imparts is wonderful. My only complaint would be that it dries a little crunchy but at least on my hair the crunchiness doesn't last long.

I tried the KCKT and KCCC today for the first time. One of the things that made me want to try these products, in addition to all the great reviews I've read, was that it is free of protein, glycerin and silicone. I've heard many curlies hating/praising these ingredients, but wasn't sure how my hair felt about them, as I've never had a product that didn't have some combination of these in it. I am certainly glad I tried it!!! I have never loved a product in my life, but I LOVE the KCCC (and KCKT)!! It gave my 3C hair shine and curl definition like I've never seen before. And I didn't have to use that much product. The 16oz jar will last me a long time. Which is great since KCCC has become a permanent part of my hair care routine.

Like most curlies, I've tried tons of products but always come back to this one! KCCC has become my staple product. I love the way it defines my curl pattern and helps to retain moisture (which is very important when you live in the desert).

This product does what is says most of the time. I have I shaped curls in the crown of my head and O shaped curls in the rest. KCCC does not work on the crown. It leaves my hair limp and frizzy. In the back of my hair it works great my hair looks like little springs. It is expensive and I don't use it very often.

This product works best with the Knot Today product. It's good for my 4a-c type hair. It defines my curls. I divide my hair in about 6-8 sections and apply KC section by section (with Knot Today). I use a dime size drop per section. Then I blow dry at the root of my hair to add volume and length. The only downside to KC is if you use too much, you will notice little flakes in your hair. And I normally wash (rinse, no-poo) my hair by the 3rd day. Other than that, good product.

I absolutely LOVE this product. It leaves my hair shiny and my curls defined. At first it was hard to determine how much I needed to apply to my hair (My hair's EXTREMELY thick and holds lots of water). I got a hang of it after a while and realized all I needed was a quarter-sized amount per section of hair. I give it 4 curls because of the look my hair has the following morning. I'm going to take the advice of the ladies who said that they spritz their hair with water the following morning. Hope it works out for me.

I am 3a/3c/4a and my hair is still growing and looking better and better every day. The first time I tried CC, I didn't like it. I tired it with KC and it left my hair dry. I recently tried it again, this time with Carol's Daughter Vanilla leave-in conditioner and my hair just sprung to life. It dries shiny and I now have ringlets. The only problem it for me, I have to rewet my hair every day in order to get the same look.

This is an awesome product to use with the Knot Today Leave-In. It really moisturizes your hair and provides great hold. The only drawbacks is that it takes a while to learn how to use properly and it takes all day for your hair to completely dry. Other than that, the end results are awesome and you can get about 4 days of wear out of it. Large jar that lasts a long time!

For those of you transitioning from a relaxer to natural hair, this is wondeful!! I have 3b/3c hair and I roller set my hair during the transition. OMG! My hair was SOOO soft with big to medium size curls. Very moisturizing for my dry hair. When used with KT, it smoothed the frizziness of my hair and made it look like it was a relaxed hair roller set. This style last at least 3 days (if you work out) longer if you don't. I'm 13 months transitioned and still going a few more months before I cut the relaxed ends off. The key with KCCC/KT is not to use too much and to apply on soaking wet hair.

This product worked great for a few months after my BC. Now that my hair is a little longer I dont get the same results. I'm so sad because this is my favorite and I would get alot of compliments whenever I used it. It's expensive but I still think it's worth it especially when used with Knot Today. It does leave the the hair sticky which is why I only gave it it 3 curls. However it is moisturzing and gives the hair a nice shine.

This product gives 3-4 days of hair style in between days add a little miss jessies curly buttercreme it will be soft to the touch with the perfect hairline. This product is my hairs life It's way better miss jessies curly pudding even though mjcp makes your hair soft after use it just doesn't give get curl definition like KCCC.

Hair type 4a/b. Using too much product will give you sticky hair and long drying times. I used this three times so far and still don't have the hang of the proper amount to use in my hair yet. But I am seeing my texture becoming softer. My curls last longer(@ 3-4 days)It's definetly worth some more trial and error.

I love this stuff. It made my hair 4a/3c more defined in its curly shape. It also conditoined my hair. my hair looked and felt healthier. When it dried, some parts of my hair felt a little crunchy, but it was not hard, it still flowwed, and felt manageable. best of all, it had a sweet smell, almost like butterscotch candy. I will continue to use this product.

After 2 years of trial and error with hair products, this is the only product that I always repurchase. It elongates my tiny 4a spirals, and makes my hair very shiny. I use it over a creamy leave-in (I don't use Knot Today) and get consistently good results. I apply it over soaking wet hair and comb it through. I then shake my head and scrunch to reform the curl clumps. My only 'holy grail' product.

Best stuff I've ever used, and I live in Florida, so that really says something! It isn't a cream, but it isn't really a gel either, but it's an amazing product! It can weigh your hair down if you use too much, so experiementation with amounts to use is necessary.

This is is hands down the best styling product I have ever used. I have very frizzy, style resistant hair and nothing else has been able to tame and define it this well. Others have come close, but KCCC blows them all away. I haven't had a problem with crunch personally, but then again, I rarely do with any product. If I do have a few crunchies with this, I just take a little pomade and scrunch it out. No biggie. Bottom line, this stuff is amazing!

This product is a gel and your hair is hard and crunchy for the first 3-4 days. I like the product after the crunch goes away but by then its time to wash your hair and start over again. The whole jar last me about a month and I have hair that last 5 days. I used my own conditioner which made the product flake a little but next time I am going to try it with the knot today conditioner and see if the combination is better. Great for the Summer. I recommend buying this product from Curlmart-fast and quick service. Ordering directly from the website takes too long and you never know when it will show up.

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. :)

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... : )

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.

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.

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!

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.

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. :-)

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 andbouncy 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.
