    An amazing pomade that conditions while adding shine and definition. One of the best I've tried! A great product to use mid-day to combat frizz.

    Not so crazy about the scent but I do love the shine and softness it brings to my curls. I like to use it in combo with a pre-shampoo hot oil treatment.

    I use it as a finisher to add just a touch of hold, a lot of shine and some great conditioning agents, as well. Nice smell, too.

    Really didn't like this. I was psyched to get it after reading all of the reviews, but me and my 3c hair didn't like this so much. It does smell phenomenal- refreshingly citrusy, like fresh, sweet lemonade- but for $22, I'd expect my hair to "act right" after applying it! The ingredients seem so natural and good, but this didn't moisturize as much as it left me greasy. If I used to much, I felt like an oily jheri curl victim; if I used too little, my hair was dry and brittle. Guess I'm the odd one out here...

    I really love this product. It's a bit on the pricey side and you have to watch how much you use. I have a lot of hair so I need a lot of product. The smell is a light lemon scent. It moisturizes really well and creates a lot of shine. It defined my 3c/4a curls really well which is a plus!

    Not really a huge fan. It did make my hair shiny, but I didn't feel that it was nourished. To be honest, my hair seemed to have more frizz after I used this than before. Maybe I didn't use it right :-/

    Love this product. I use it to SOTC and it works amazingly. My hair is super soft and shiny after I use it. And a little goes a loooonng way. You only need the tiniest amount for it to work. I'm so glad I bought this. It's a must have for me.

    I think this product is so-so but maybe I'm not using it right. Seems greasy on my hair. But I like to use it on the very tips of my ends to keep them nourished.

    This works best on semi dry to dry hair (otherwise it may cause a little frizz). Provides a moisture and shine. I use this to seal after using qhemet's burdock root butter cream. I'm only giving it four stars because I'm not sure yet how I feel about the scent (VERY strong lemony smell), but I will definately be purchasing again.

    I love this product. It plays well with other products, smells great, is a bagain for the amount of product you get, and is super moisturizing for hair and skin. I sue it to SOTC when I use gels, etc, on 2nd day hair for a moisture/shine boost, and rub a what's left into my cuticles. I cannot praise it enough!

    My mom told me about this product and it is very nice on my hair, especially when wet. It smells lovely (my husband loves the smell) and I like that it's made of natural ingredients. However it can leave my hair feeling like it needs something extra so I use this with virgin coconut oil on top and my hair is perfect! Great combo, a wonderful staple.

    This product is amazing and it smells incredible. When I put it in my hair, it just glistens. It is a little pricey but it seems that products for natural hair are rather pricey. I bought some at a co-op grocery store and I carry it everywhere I go and I tell everyone who will listen.

    I love, love, love this product. I use it with the JCS Hair Nourishing Serum and sometimes with a drop or two of Jojoba oil. It makes my hair so soft and smooth. I stayed at my parent's for a night and left it at home and could see a dramatic difference in my hair as a result. I will never make that mistake again!

  • Demelza - Hair Type: 3a
    I absolutely love this stuff! I use it to scrunch the crunch from my gel. My hair can be totally crunchy and just a little bit of this stuff gives me soft, bouncy curls. I wasn't sure about the smell at first, but I've grown to love it. Great product!

    Love it, love it, love it!!! I bought it based on the talk here at Naturallycurly.com, and wasn't sure what to make of it at first. Then I used it on my hands and fell in love with the slightly tropical citrus smell! It dried after a few seconds and left my hands feeling soft and smelling great, so I decided that even if it didn't work in my hair it was still worth it. Then I used it to scrunch out the crunch from my gel and became a total convert. It takes just a tiny little bit to smooth frizz and my hair just eats it up (in a good way). I agree with the person who said "finally, something that does what it says it will!" You can't go wrong with this stuff.

    I strayed for awhile but I had to come back to the original. It does just what it says it does: nourishes and shines. Perfect daily prep product.

    BRAVO!!!! This is great. I put this on my hair when it is wet then use her Sculpt and Condition. I finish it with her spray gel. I have no frizz. Another great product for fine, blond, frizzy hair.

    Great product! I use it after styling my hair for a little bit of shine and added moisture. It keeps my hair feeling soft and smelling fresh. I also use it on my ends after spritzing my hair with water every other day to keep them soft and moist. A must have for type 4 hair!

    L O V E this stuff. I only wish that I could use it by itself as a styler, which I can't. Nevertheless, I love it as a moisturizer and as a finisher. I absolutely love the smell--in fact, I'll admit that was the main reason I bought it. It's also great for dry, itchy winter skin. It's definitely expensive, but worth it since a little goes a long way, and because it really just makes me feel good. And who can put a price on that?

    My hair loves butters and so I was not surprised that this product made my hair look and feel great. My hair was soft and my curls defined and moist with this product. Unfortunately, even though I loved the fragrance, I could not handle it. Otherwise, I'd give it four curls.

    This is one of my favorite products. I use it to "scrunch the crunch" after my gel dries, and it's fabulous for smoothing down any flyaway hairs. I love that it is silicone-free and rinses out cleanly. You do have to be careful not to use too much or it can be greasy, but once you know how much your hair can handle, it's wonderful. I love the smell, and use it as a hand moisturizer too.

    I use this when I flat iron my hair and it works great. I love the smell, but if you use too much it's greasy. It is great for a shine boost after blowdrying.

    I was not too keen on the smell either (quite acid). However, this is a good product to control frizz, define curls and add shine. The cream feels very greasy at first, but then it completely melts into the hair with no oily nor crunchy feeling. I would definitely recommend it.

    THIS IS THE GREATEST PRODUCT EVER!!! Contains no waxes, mineral oils, silicones, or petroleum--nothing that can harm your hair over the short or long term. It has an absolutely heavenly scent that lasts for hours--it boosts my spirits whenever I catch a whiff. It is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly into my hair. An added bonus is that this product can be used as a moisturizer on dry skin! I have purchased thousands of dollars worth of hair products over the years to moisturize my super-dry, fragile hair; only Nourish & Shine will be in my cabinet from now on!
