Left my 3b/3c hair frizzy and out of control. No hold whatsoever.

I liked this product in combination with the spray. Alone it really did not do much for my waves.

It's a gel more than a balm but it works very well it leave curls well formed and naturally boucy and with a lot of movement unlike gels which tend to dry flacky and stiff. The smell is subtle and fades with is good with people who are sensitive to odors.

This actually worked for me. Curling balms tend to make my hair fuzzy, but this one didn't. It has just enough hold for me, too. Smells great. I'd probably by the Curl Up Control Creme next though.

This cream didn't have enough hold on its own, but seemed to work better layered over another product like Curl Keeper.

My hair is long, very thick and slightly wavy. It frizzes when air dried without product, as the waves separate from each other and fall out under the weight of my hair. I'm looking for something to enhance the wave/curl and reduce some of the frizz.
This product helps the wave a bit, but it just doesnt look nice.

This gave me some soft definition, but I got a good bit of fluff and rope frizz from it too. Definitely better on a cooler and less humid day than a hot, summer one.

Didn't work for me. Fluffy, flyaway.

5 Curls: Results were consistently dreamy. Worth repurchasing in large sizes. |
|
4 Curls: Results were better than most. Would repurchase, just not in bulk. |
 |
3 Curls: Some redeeming qualiities but inconsistent or an incomplete solution. Repurchasing hesitancy. |
|
2 Curls: Had at least one positive trait, but the negative outweighted the positive(s) without question. |
 |
1 Curl: If I were stuck on a desert island, and this product was the only one available, I'd make my own stuff on the island. |
