Echhhh, my 3c hair does not take kindly to this at all. I warmed it up in the palm of my hand really well and tried twisting my curls in it, but it was like putting paste in my hair. As a body butter, on the other hand, it's lovely. (And it says it on the package--you can use it on hair or skin.) So I'll just be sticking to using it on my ashy elbows and feet and go back to Oyin Shine and Define.

Great product; perfect in winter! I've used this to twist and untwist my hair and as a body butter. Leaves hair very shiny, soft, and nourished and skin moisturized and protected against the elements. It has a mild citrus scent; a little goes a long way. Minus a half "curl" for the price.

I used this product first on my wet 3b hairs, then layered with a little leave in mixed with water and her wrapping solution. I then braided my hair and let it dry in the braids. I did not like the outcome at all! My hair is extremely soft and this left my hair feeling very olly; thus the curls did not hold well, and it was just a frizzy mess. I think this product needs to be used sparingly and possibly on coarser hair.

I didn't like this product at first but I think it's because I wasn't sure of how to use it on my hair. I'm a 3C that likes to rock the wash and go so this product works great for adding to the curl definition, softness and shine of my hair. I use it after I condition, leaving a little bit of the conditioner in my hair. I then add the cream to my roots to stop the frizz that develops when it dries then I lightly shingle the rest of my hair. When it dries its curly and soft all over. I love it.

This stuff is the creme de la creme of styling products. It is appropriately named. It nourishes the hair and makes it shine. For everyone who is looking for shine (not just sheen), this is the product for you. I have 4a/4b hair, by the way.

I really wanted to love this stuff. I really did. I like the brand, and that it is all natural. I found it expensive for the amount you get but hey- I'm willing to pay extra for quality ingredients. However, this product simply sat on top of my hair. It did not penetrate my dry, thirsty 4b hair at all! In fact, it made my scalp itch and I have EXTREMELY dry hair. So, I think my hair just doesn't like oils as much as butters except a butter is the first ing listed *shrugs*. Two stars for the amazing scent and the fact this product works great as a moisturizer for my skin (I have eczema and need something very heavy and moisturizing). But, for the price I will not purchase this again just to use as a body moisturizer!

Provides great moisture. If you used a shampoo that made your hair dry and the conditioner didn't put moisture back; use this. Mango butter seems to work the best for my hair.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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 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!
