Hair type 3b/3c this stuff is great but I didnt give it 5 curls for the learning curve...I've been using it for about 2 months now & I think I've finally got how I want my curls to look...this is what I do...I apply At Night...after washing & co, I ring out the excess water with my hands...then section by section I put this stuff on, about a nickel /quarter size, depending on the size of the piece of hair....I let it air dry for about anhour or two b4 I got to bed...its crunchy when I go to bed, but when I wake up, its super soft & all I have to do is touch up the top frizzies (I just add some more kccc on top)...its a little annoying to learn the right way to use this stuff but its the only stuff that leaves my hair soft and defined with a little frizz (not comepletely gone) but manageable.

I'm so disappointed in this product, for which I had high hopes. I would apply the styling gel to my hair while wet for twisting purposes and it would either leave my hair crunch and hard or I would have to wait two days for it to air dry. The custard also left some type of white residue in my hair. I ended up giving a $30 bottle away for free to a friend who wanted to try it.

This makes my 3C/4A curls pop and they are shiny The reason I only gave it 4 because with out the leave in knot today its not that amazing.

I like the smooth texture of the product although it does loosen my curls a bit. I haven't tried it with the Knot Today leave in so I will have to try it.

Gives my hair nice definition and lasts for at least 5 days. It did leave my hair a little dry, but when I use a leave-in conditioner other than Knot Today, my hair is moisturized.

Great smell and great for 4a/b hair... long air drying time but worth the wait. if you want teeny tiny curls for 4a/b hair.. this is definitely for you... use SPARINGLY, this is to be paired with the knot today but only a fraction is necessary to be used.

Because my hair is very fine and a 3b I was excited to read about a product that would allow me to wear my naturally curly hair I tried the KC-custard and I was surprised at how hard my hair felt.. was very disappointed but I will continue to use for a few more days to see how it goes....

I love this product. I found it works best when used with other KC products (I was using Carol's Daughter shampoo) or it can leave a white residue. if over applied it can leave hair a bit crunchy.

Wow! This stuff is the real deal. LOVE IT! My hair is thickish, doesn't get weighed down, and is very dense; I say this because it takes 5-6 hours to dry w/ no product in it. This stuff delivers frizz-free, shiny!, hair. No crunch. There is significant shrinkage, but I just sleep on it or pull the curls down to stretch them. THere are only 2 caveats: the smell is unpleasant, but others love it. And the price! But it's worth it. I can LOAD this into my hair and no goopy feel. Defintely worth a try for anyone looking for a great frizz beater.

4a/b - FINALLY!! Something that truly works. It elongates..and defines! It smells really nice too. One important thing.. follow the instructions and you WILL need the entire system for it to work. Believe me. You get better results using the entire product line and following the instructions closely.

I am enjoying what I am seeing with this product. Granted I've just started using it but it was lighter than Curly Pudding and heavier than Mixed chicks. Just what my 3C hair needs. I do watch how much I put because as other have noted it does go a long way. You don't need a lot. I think I will be using this for quite awhile and looking forward to trying the Knot today. I also love that it's natural and has no mineral oil.

I Love this product and so does my hair. I bought it from Whole foods a year ago after watching the reviews on Youtube. Many times I have bought made or tried products that claim to drfine my 3c hair and fail. But this one is the only product (used in conjuction with the leave in conditioner) that defines, holds and smells great. All the ingredients are natural, which is the biggest plus for me. Overall I love love love this product and use it weekly.

I love this product. I'm Puerto Rican and I have a crazy combo of curl types in my hair while still being very fine and I love how this handles them, even my straight parts. I've used Ouidad before and really loved the result, what I didn't love was the price, for 22 dollars a 8oz bottle compared to 17 for the kccc of the same size its a much better value, since both have to be applied on wet hair to work, I love kccc better because a little goes a long way instead of having to saturate the hair with gel like they tell you to do with the ouidad gel. Highly recommend it!!

I only gave this product 3 curls because of the learning curve, and the drying time. Currently, it only works for me when I wear my hair back in a ponytail. It has great hold, but can get crunchy if you use too much. I have yet to master the loose curls look, (my first attempt was a disaster). My hair looked like a crunchy jheri curl, which isn't the look I was aiming for at all. I don't mind the price because a little goes a long way and this jar will last me forever.. I will probably not repurchase when I'm finished cause i've found another product that does the same thing, and although price isn't an issue to me (if a product is worth it) I'd pick a product with the same results at a cheaper price tag any day..

KCCC made my very coily coils pop! The only drawback was that I didn't know how much to use, and I think I went over board the first time, I ended up having a bunch of white chunks in my hair. Will try again though, like how it defines my coils.

This is my staple. Perfect ingredients, a little heavy on the hold (it scrunches out easily though), smells ok, texture of product may concern people ( I don't care), better than Miss Jessies Quick Curls, lasts a long time, long drying time. Users need to apply moisture under (shea butter is my choice), make sure to apply in sections, and add more water than product , this is concentrated. When completely dry, use a nozzle on your blow dryer and stretch out curls for nice , soft hold.

I've been wanting to try this product for a while. When I saw you had it in the 8oz size I decided to try it. I waited a couple of days to see how it works and I do think it moisturizes my hair well, but I really didn't notice any elongating of my curls. Combined with Knot Today I have no frizz but I had to use my Jane Carter Condition and Sculpt with it for more hold. I think I will have to experiment to get the right amount but so far I really like it.

Here's how I have gotten this product to work absolutely perfectly for me. Perfect curls. Every time. I am (cough) 40+ Caucasian with 3a/b curls. Very fine, but lots of hair. It dries quickly, so I have to work quickly. I use a microfiber towel to blot the water from my hair. I then use Knot Today (a little goes a LONG way here, especially when using the KCCC afterward) and run my fingers through to get the tangles out. If there are tangles left, I then run a wide tooth comb through very gently. Next, I dip just the ends of my fingers (just past the first knuckle) and then spread that amount of KCCC all over both hands to smooth it out. I then start at the front of my head and work it in from the roots to the ends. That amount gets me about halfway through, then I load up again (it's only about a dime-sized amount. Not very much) and do the back side of my hair. Then, I work in sections and scrunch each section. If I need to, I can use a diffuser to dry my hair, but my hair dries pretty fast on it's own. I usually end up scrunching it one more time when it's a little more dry to give it just a bit more body. At that point, I leave it alone for the day and I'm good to go. Once it's dry, I can use a pick and fluff it out if I want and get really soft, fluffy curls. It took a lot of trial and error to figure out the way to get it to work for me, but that seems to be the best way for me and now there's no going back to other styling products. I get consistently awesome curls, every day, without having sticky, stiff, or dirty feeling hair.

I love this product, but as others mentioned the quantity you use is very important. I have very thick, kinky-curly. I divide my hair into six soaking wet pieces and pull the product through my hair using a lot of tension. The results are phenomenal. I have yet to try the knot today, and had good results over a co-wash (which KC does not suggest). A little goes a long way, but I am convinced that there has to be a less expensive product that can achieve these results... right?

Initially, I was disappointed by this product; however, I think that was because I'd used too much. Now that I've gotten the amount & technique down, I love this stuff. It defines my curls like mad, and makes my hair shiny, shiny, shiny and oh so soft. I have long (mid-back) 3a/3b hair that's fine. I apply a dab to soaking wet hair (while still in the shower), finger rake it in, scruch, then just another dab. I plop (about 10-15 min) then diffuser dry. I MUST diffuser dry when I use KCCC, otherwise my hair just hangs and takes FOREVER to dry. Since I don't need to use a lot of product, this massive jar will last me a good long while ~ I'm thinking about 4 months or so.

I am transitioning so this is actually the first and only product that I have used. The knot today is awsome! My hair get really matted after I wash it and the knot today combs straight thru. The curling custard really keeps my hair soft and moisturised. I really like this product.

3c/4a kinky corkscrew curls: I been using this gel for a year now and it's the best in my book. It leaves my hair looking shiny, feel moisturized, and great hold. I apply Knot Today in shower re-wet my hair. When I get out the shower I apply kinky curly and my fingers glide through my hair.

I hated this stuff the 1st time I used it (gooey white balls all over my hair)now it's a styling staple. The key was applying in small sections (just like Shelley does it on the KC website) rather than slathering it all over. It works even better with Knot Today underneath, but I've also found it works good with the cheaper (but all natural as well) Giovanni Direct Leave-in. $30 is steep but you should be able to get @ least 2 months (or more) out of a jar. And though there are other gels that are much, much cheaper, which can give you similar results (think Ecostyler or Fantasia IC)this stuff is all natural. No complicated sounding alcohols or parabens.

I'm very happy with this product. I've used it alone and on top of their Knot Today leave-in and get good results either way, although my hair feels softer when I use the leave-in. The only thing about this product is that you have to find the amount that's right for your hair, and you have to apply it evenly to get good results. But it's worth it! My curls are glossy and well defined, and stay frizz-free for 2 or 3 days. This has become a staple for me.

This stuff ROCKS!!! I gave it 4 curls only because there is a learning curve on using it. It's VERY easy to put on WAAAAY too much at first. When you get the ratio right, amazing soft gorgeous curls! I used the gloss pomade afterwards on the days Igot crunch from using too much product, and eneded up with gorgeous, shiny, soft curls.

Absolutely the worst product I have ever used on my 3b/3c hair. It elongated my curls into nothingness and made them stiff besides. Even when I actually tried to curl my hair with curlers, the curl wouldn't stay. Tried using it with Jessicurl Rockin' Ringlets, Argan oil, and Morroccan Oil Curl Cream -- nothing worked. Don't buy this junk!

I bought this from a store in Dallas and had a hard time finding it. So when I finally found it I was really excitied to try it. as soon as I got home I used it and smells so good. I love the way it smells but when I put it on it was like a gel I was surprised and when it dried it was hard like a gel my hair dries right above my shoulders and it is very thick. So I dontlike my hair to be hard and it made it shrink up alot, which I also didnt like but my husband has short hair and he loves this stuff maybe it's better for shorter hair thats way you dont notice alot of the shrinkage.

I like this product. I just did my big chop about 3 weeks ago and my hair is a 3c/4a and it did make my curls super tight. Also, a little goes a long way. Using to much can make your hair crunchy. I think it will work better for me when my hair get longer. But, overall I like it.

This is my favorite styler, and not just because of the ingredients. I am a prduct junkie and will try almost anything, but I am always coming back to this. It actually fulfills its promise of defined curls. It is a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way. I only need a pea-sized amount. I use it over the KC Knot Today and when my hair dries I apply the KC Glossing Pomade over it to add moisture and soften my hair up a bit. I would have given this product 5 curls if it didn't leave my hair slightly crunchy, but it is a gel, and I have yet to find one that dries soft.

I got this at Whole Foods, after reading so many good reviews about it. Nothing else has worked for me past a couple of uses. It was $26 but since it lasts a long time, it's really not expensive. I got it back in late July and it is about 1/4 to 1/3 gone. I have waist length hair so that is pretty good! At first i didn't use enough, which didn;t hurt my hair but it was soft and fluffy with little definition. I have had the most luck with wetting my hair with Knot Today first, then applying it to my hair in sections...two is fine. Then I scrunch it and leave it alone. I'm left with soft, shiny, elongated but not weighed down ringlets that are bouncy! I'd recommend this product to anyone with curls or waves...it will be my staple for as long as they keep making it! I like the "slimy" texture because it is so easy to spread and distribute, and the smell is subtle and nice. Like vanilla/sugar but not in a sickening way.

I usually agree with the top rated products but I can't make this stuff work for me! The only pro is that is makes my hair soft (oh and it smells delicious). On the flipside, it makes my hair so soft that it doesn't have any definition what so ever. My hair looks like an undefined mess - even when I tried mixing in other products

I was worried when I first saw the texture and weight of this product. But I was pleasantly suprised, It distributes well, and disappears into my hair, It seems sticky, but once it dries it is flexible and never crunchy! My curls bounce up! I have quite thick medium textured hair, and this gives me defined chunky curls... I used to be a 2c but with this product I am DEFINITELY a 3!

I am a fine 3b/c/a. Was hesitant about this product and rightly so. I usually like gels but this consistency was a bit different. The product left my hair crunchy with some shine but my hair provides its own shine anyway. When tried to get the crunch out the curls wouldn't soften. Maybe I used too much. For that price I will experiment with it again but so far Mixed Chicks, Curl Keeper and Curl Junkie have my vote.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. :-)

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

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!

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.
