I love this! It leaves my hair defined and very soft and moisturized. I like to apply it by just scooping a tiny bit on my finger and apply it section by section. Smells great and I love that it has natural ingredients!! I got it last night at Walgreens for only $7.99!!!

I didn't care for this. I tried it last winter, and I found it left my hair undefined, dry, and frizzy. I'd figure I'd give it another go in summer and that it might work better because I bought the Shea Moisture Retention Shampoo (which is GREAT!) but it still didn't work. I tried it as a leave-in/styler, and it was OK but left my kind of flat. As a rinse-out, it provided no moisture whatsoever. If I used too much, I'd be stringy and dry, and if I used too little, I'd be clumpy and dryer. It smells good, though. I'll stick to my beloved Darcy's Botanicals, though(:

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! I have 4b hair and I was going through my experimenting phase and started using this 2 months ago. It keeps my hair moisturized and my curls defined. It isn't greasy either, which is a plus. I trust the ingredients, I love seeing all the natural ingredients added in. The smell is sweet but it can be really strong if you use it excessively. Not to mention it is affordable, about $10 at target and it lasts for a long time. I love almost everything in the Shea Moisture Collection (products that I've tried so far) and I love that the prices are reasonable. In comparison to other popular products, such as Miss Jessie's, I feel you;'re getting the best for your hair for a better price! Love it!

Great product! I have 3c and I think it works even better with the eco styler olive oil gel. The two together leaves my hair soooo soft and curly. The gel doesn't make my hair hard or flakey...try using both..First add a little bit of the curl smoothie then add the gel all over..trust me its great and inexpensive.

I love this stuff! It doesn't clump my curls but it adds soo much moisture! The only thing is that it smells really good in the container ..and then you put it in your hair. For some reason in my hair it smells really ..i don't know how to describe it. It reminds of the old black hair care products you don't want your hair to smell like. But otherwise its great! I'll always have this on hand. Also, when I do my deep conditioner mixtures I add this and it makes my hair soo soft and wonderful.

When I first used this product I didn't like it at all. It didn't seem to absorb in my hair, however, recently I watched a tutorial where someone with similiar hair texture used it and decided to try it again. Boy am I glad I did. I realized that I have to use it on wet hair (fresh out of the shower). I even midst my hair again with water after use for better absorbency. After that I generally apply a little gel for hold and my curls and scrunch excess water out with a tshirt. I'm left with very moisturized and super soft curls.

This product worked amazingly for my hair. After washing it I applied the SheaMoisture and did a braid out, after taking the braids out the next morning my hair was SO soft! My curls/waves also lasted me that whole day. I'm now on day two and my hair is still very moisturized. I definately recommend this product!

This product is hit and miss for me. First thing I noticed when I opened the jar (other than the wonderful smell) was the creamy, silky looking texture of the product. It has great ingredients and works for me as a daily moisturizer, but it's a miss as a styler. Do I think it's worth checking out? Absolutely!!...as a moisturizer.

Love, love, love this product. Out of all the products I have tried my hair has responded the best to shea moisture. It leaves my hair soft and defined. Only thing is it does not last long and me being a college student, $10 is not something I just have laying around. If it wasn't for the cost I would buy it more often. It is the absolute best.

This is 2nd time I've used this. First time I used it w/o my LaBella Lots of Curls gel, I definately NEED it with the gel. WIth the gel, it makes my hair stringly & droopy curls. I think it works better if Im touching it up to get a 3rd day curl if I'm too busy to do my hair. Otherwise, it does make my hair softer, but it doesn't give my curls definition. Just soft hair, droopy & stringy curls. So a 3 stars for softness.

I have 2B hair and I tried some of the Shea Moisture products this morning. The Smoothie felt like it would have a really strong, almost crispy hold when I scooped out some product. However, after plunking and diffusing a little, it gave a really soft hold. So far, the curls have lasted today (6 hours). My hair doesn't feel sticky or greasy, however, if I touch my hair, my hands feel a little sticky/slick. Also, the product has a very heavy perfume scent that's starting to bother me. Overall, this worked great to give shine and hold to my 2B waves, no cruchiness, stickiness or greasy feeling. I've had tighter curl patterns from other products, but this works really well for me so far. The only downside right now is the strong scent ><

I wish I had this at the start of my natural journey. I am willing to try different products, but I always come back. I don't like this product in the winter for wash n' go's, but now that spring is back, OH MY GOODNESS!!! This product does not provide hold, none! So, if that is what you want your curls to remain springy looking then this product is not for you. I love big hair and I am guessing because of the glycerin, when the dew points are high my hair swells and I love it. I get this big hair with so much movement and it so soft. If you don't like shrinkage, this is also not for you. My hair curly is about ear lobe length, but straight it almost armpit length, however, as the days go by because I can get 3 day hair with Shea, it gets longer. Again, if you are looking for that springy curly look you will not get this with Shea, it will start out that way, but as day warms and their is moisture in the air your hair will grow massive. Also the price is right and they are forever having BOGO's for the product.

The Curl Enhancing Smoothie is defintely a keeper! I am on my third jar of this product. It is one of those old faithfuls, I may try other moisturizers but I know that when I reach for this it will always do the job. It leaves my hair super soft to to the touch and moisturized. The more product I use the longer it will retain the moisture. Now I will say that if you're heavy handed like myself you shouldn't expect to be able to do some twists with this and then leave the house an hour or so later with a defined twist out. Its so moisturizing and thick it will give you super puffy cloudy hair. However, if you leave your twists in for a day or so you can definitely achieve great definition. The fact that this is only 9.99, on the ground and easily accessible at various retailers makes this a 5 Curl product for me.

still experimenting with different ways to use this but so far i am very impressed...what i found out so far is that it works best on damp (not wet!!) hair...i two-strand twist pieces of my hair and let it either air dry or blow dry it at a low setting...my curls stayed for almost 6 days and i only applied it one time!! it doesnt have incredible hold but somehow stayed curly for a long time, as well as the shine and the bounciness...im not a big fan of gels so this product left me very very VERY impressed...i will definetly stock up!

This is my first experience with Shea Moisture products and I was truly impressed by the results we achieved using the Curl Enhancing Smoothie! I used it immediately after washing and conditioning my 3b hair, as a leave in conditioner and detangler. My curls were nicely defined and my hair was soft, shiny, and beautifully fragrant. It resisted humidity induced frizz and though I used no other product after applying the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie, my 2nd day hair is gorgeous as well (in fact, if I didn't desperately need a hair cut, I'd be submitting pictures and/or a video review to show off)! We also used the product on my daughter's 4b hair and had great results with her as well. We are definitely fans and will continue to use this product and look forward to trying more items within the Shea Moisture brand.

I absolutely hated this product when I first tried it. It seemed to do nothing to bring out any moisturized curls whatsoever. However, being a newbie, I began to work it into my regimen in a different way and now I love it. I don't use this on wash day at all, I instead use a leave in then shea butter and twist my hair. The next day, after my hair is dry, I apply just a bit to the hair, especially the ends, when re-twisting, and it works MUCH better. From there, I add a little to re-moisturize my ends about 15-20 prior to taking my twists out for my 'twist-out' and it works great! I'm not a big pro but you can visit me on YouTube to see my hair 4a/b texture, LPShareTube.

Okay product....it was too heavy in my hair even using a tiny amount. It really does define my curls but by the time it's dry, which is longer with this product(about 6 hours with this in), my hair is sticky to the touch and I can't manipulate it to get rid of this weird crunch thing that's not really a crunch. It's like a super super strong hold that scrunching won't get rid of. But it does smell great and moisturizes, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to use this product...

Works for me used as a leave-in on damp hair under a gel (I used Donna Marie Miracurl Jelly and it must be sealed with an oil), used on dry/lighly spritzed hair as a styler/refresher and as a prepoo. Awesome results with each of these - clumping, moisture and shine. The day I plan on shampooing I style my hair with this as my prepoo & styler for the day. I have fine, 4a, low porosity hair.

My hair felt heavy, dry, and greasy. I have no clue how a product can make your hair feel greasy, but still dry. I have mostly 3c hair with 4a in the back and 4b around my front edges. I also think my hair might have low porosity. I hope this helps you in deciding whether or not this product will work for your hair. ...i notice coconut oil does nothing for my hair, so I wonder if that could play a part too.

This product worked well when I was styling my hair while wet. However, I found myself having to apply it every night to get the same results. This cream based product is a bit greasy and builds up easily. It does live your hair moisturized and defines curls, but you have to keep applying it which weighs your hair down. It also makes my hair feel dirty and had a tendency to leave white balls.

I love this stuff. I was hesitant at first to try it because I thought the butters would weigh my hair down and make it feel greasy. However, after using it, my hair was wonderful. It felt really soft and helped create wonderful curls. I used it in conjunction with CK and LA Looks Sport Gel. It comes in a huge container and I only had to use a little bit. My hair goes just below my shoulders when wet. I would recommend this to any 3B gals looking for better curl formation and softer locks. The price at Walgreens was right too at $9.99.

Let me start off my saying that this was my first attempt at any natural hair product. So maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. However, I washed and conditioned my hair then added the custard while my hair was very wet. I twist my hair and let it air dry. This did nothing for me! I would use it for a conditioner because it left my hair soft. However, it did nothing for my curls

I'm a huge fan of all of the products in this line. The curl enhancing smoothie is wonderful. A little bit goes a long way to keep your curls and coils moist and bouncy. I don't reapply everyday because, as worth any product it will build up. Just spritz a little water on the hair and restyle. I highly recommend this product, you get great results for a great price.

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I have to admitt i have been an avid fan of everything DEVA curl for the past 4 years, but it was getting way to exspensive. Gel makes my hair take forever to dry and weighs it down so i dont have much definition to my hair. I wanted to try something that would give me definition all day withouth weighing it down and this is it! i have 3A type curls and this works perfectly! my hair is not greasy so i am able to use it twoards my roots. I just take a little at a time and really rub it between my hairs and make sure i get all my hair and scrunch and i kidd you not it takes my hair 20 minutes to dry! I LOVE THIS!

This product claims to minimize frizz, define curls, and add moisture. I was so excited for this--but it didn't do any of that. It actually made my hair more frizzy, weighed down the curls, and made it dry. I was so disappointed...maybe it's because it's winter? I just bought the Deep Treatment Masque and am going to use that as a leave-in. It gets two curls for smelling soooo amazing :)

I LOVE this stuff! I can use it in a bunch of different ways. My favorite way to use it is to mix a little bit of the smoothie and a little bit of SM curling souffle. I get soft, defined curls by doing that! It's also good for SOTC, and to be used on second day hair to lay down some frizz. Plus, it smells AMAZING and last FOEVER. I've had it about 2 months and have barely made a dent in the jar. Love it!

The only thing is that it takes my hair REALLY long to dry...but that may or may not be due to this product Lol.

My curls are a mixture of 3 b and 3 c, with most of th 3 b's at the crown of my head. After spending tons of money not to mention time on buying hair products. The shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie worked GREAT!! I love the tropical smell and the moisturizing properties it has. My hair was moisturized without being greasy. I have also tried the shea moisture hair milk. That is one of my staples! Great product.

I'm giving this product 4 curls because as much as I love the smell, it's a little stronger than I would like my hair to smell. I do love it for making my hair softer though. I use this product after a wash and condition as a pre blowdrying solution, and it did a good job.

I love this. I found it for 9.99 at Walgreen's, so I love the price. I love the smell. It smells as if I could eat it and the smell doesn't give me any problems, though I usually have sensitivities to fragrances. I also love how my hair looks and feels when I use it. I just mush it in to my wet hair after it is past the dripping wet stage. I first put in Motions triple action leave-in conditioner (and sometimes one of the Garnier Fructis silicone free conditioner or the Dollar General equivalent). It works wonderful on my 4b hair.

I was a little skeptical because it's recommended for types 3-4, and I'm a 2c, but it gave me exactly the moisture it needed. My hair was increasingly so dry that my curls were going limp no matter what I did, and I was getting so frustrated because nothing I tried seemed to be working. This brought life back to my waves, I'll definitely be using this all fall/winter. I am so glad I bought this!

Let me start of by saying that this stuff smells really really yummy. It reminds me of Jujubes! The product in no way helps define my curls but it does provide nice sheen and a slight hold for twist-outs and braid-outs. Also I would not consider this product a moisturized but it is an excellent sealant and does keep my hair soft. So why the 3 star rating. Well I feel the product is good but slightly mis-advertised and most importantly it gives me crazy build up on day one. Its texture and consistency makes it a great product for twisting but it leaves my strands coated and flaking and i can't stand it. I can only use it right before I wash or I am left with hair covered in buildup! I will definitely finish the one I have but I doubt I will rebuy!

When my hair was shorter (about 1-2 inches) it gave me definition and moisture. But now that my hair is getting longer it doesn't seem to define them. But I will say it does provide great moisture to my 3c curls. It also it smells great.

Have been using this product for a week by itself as was and go and so far LOVING IT. I have 4b low porosity hair and usually just end up with a poofy mess after putting in product and my hair finally air dries. BUT this has made my hair more defined and moisturized than it has ever been just simply finger combing it through my hair after wetting and giving a bit of a scrunch. At the end of the day my hair is soft and not crunchy or dry. Only drawback is my hair doesn't absorb most products well so as it dries(roughly 1 1/2 hours) my hair is white in sections.

I'll give this a 3 because of the lovely smell, but after reading the many wonderful reviews and watching YouTube videos of people praising this product, I was really excited the give this a try. Imagine to my surprise when I applied this to my hair, it didn't do anything. So after watching a YouTube video of a woman using this product along with a alcohol-free gel to get her hair curly, I decided to try the same. While that method worked, I didn't like mixing 2 products just to make my hair curly. I wouldn't buy this product again.

NOT a fan. Bought due to all of the rave comments, and was very excited to use, but this did nothing for my 3b hair. I love that it's all natural, but that's the best thing about this in my opinion. It does not smell like hibiscus or coconut, it just smells sweet... almost like candy, which was disappointing to me. I tried this smoothie each day over the course of one week, and tried using different amounts and methods of application...no success. I tried using it as the first step on wet hair, small amount and then a larger amount, with and without a gel second step. I tried mixing it in my hands with water and raking through soaking wet hair. I tried mixing it with my leave in. I tried scrunching it in after applying my gel. No matter what I tried I had the same result... big, frizzy hair that felt weighed down. I did not get more curl definition and my hair did not feel softer. VERY disappointed in this product.

I really did enjoy using this product on dry hair only. It is very moisturizing, However, my hair felt best when when I used this product on dry hair. I would apply it to dry hair, finger comb it in gently, and then put my hair in about 10 big twists. After letting the hair set overnight, I was left with moisturized, soft, stretched hair. The next day, the hair does feel a little dry, which is why it gets 4 stars for me. That is remedied by adding a little extra product of a spray of glycerin water to the hair when I retwist that night. Also I did not like using this product to wet twist set my hair. When my twist dried, the hair did not feel moisturized which I did not like about this product.

My curls are super soft and it looks thoroughly hydrated. I would imagine this is because of all the natural ingredients it has as opposed to another ridiculously high priced cream I was using. I would definitely by this by the case if I could.

I thought it would have helped with the frizz, but believe it or not, it made it worse!

Love love love! I have used this product in a few ways since I got it, and it makes happy every time! I first used underneath gel on damp hair as a curl creme and got fabulous definition, I then used on second day dry hair and had curls that were revived and soft (still some frizz - but I haven't found a second day product/technique that doesn't have any, and this had much less than other products) and just tonight I put it on very wet hair with nothing else and have bouncy, shiny, springy ringlets that smell *incredible*! This seems to be highly recommended for much tighter curl patterns than I have, but I love it! Its also not too heavy for my fine hair, and seems to have the perfect balance of protein and moisture for me.

This was the first shea moisture product that I have ever tried, but I have to say I really enjoyed this product! When I used it for the first time while doing a "braid/twist out" (I know what was I thinking) it came out ok. I didn't like the way the style came out but what did I expect I did a braid/twist out. So then when a parted my hair into smaller sections and used the smoothie my hair came out looking funky and so cute! Many eyes were on me and even someone said I looked older which is kinda a compliment since I'm only a teen.When I was at walgreens with my mom in the haircare section of course some older man walled by and looked directly at me and then looked immediately in amazement and then said hi to me with a grin and excitement to his face! And from that I knew it was my curls that made me looked even more beautiful as an African American young lady! But soon after that I met back up with my mon because I didn't want some older man trying to hit on me! lolXp My curls were shiny and defined. I personally liked the second day hair better but after the second day my hair become very frizzy so I had to wash it. But yeah I really liked this product! For sure I'm buying more Shea moisture and will come back to review this product again since I'm a noob when it comes to taking care my natural hair and styling!

I never knew what my hair loved, until I tried Shea Moisture's line. All natural ingredients and it delivers. This Smoothie works great on my wet or damp hair. I did not like too much on my dry hair (I use the Curl Milk for that). This Smoothie provides shine, moisture, light-med hold, while produces soft touchable curls. You will not get a crunchy feeling from using this. The smell is yummy, the packaging is simple, yet intriguing. I would recommend this over and over again. I heart Shea Moisture.

I have 4B/4C hair so it's super hard for me to get curl and keep moisture. I thought i was in heaven when I found an all natural product for my hair. This product should really cost at least double the money if you made a 12 oz jar with the ingredients they have. The price alone is worth one star. I chose that mainly for moisture. I have a kinky twa that about three in. long so I don't have curls to elongate yet. I used the smoothie in conjunction with the deep treatment masque to do my twists. My twist out was amazing! I had soft defined curls. The best thing was that my hair actually got curlier as the day went on instead of just becoming frizzy. I just used this with coconut oil to seal my ends and i can rock a twist out for days with my hair getting dry. The only reason it gets four curls is because I don't really get curls with it if i just did a wash n go. Maybe if my hair was shorter or less thick, it would work perfectly.

I got this at Walgreens during their Buy One/Get One Free sale on Shea Moisture products. I've tried the Curl and Style Milk and other Shea Moisutre Productes and I just love them. So I thought I'd give this a shot and I have to say I was pretty disappointed. I'm not sure what ingredient caused it, but the product left my hair feeling dry immediantly after I applied it to soaking wet hair after a deep conditioner. It felt like it actually stripped m hair. My hair felt like straw and it even had a crunch to it (while still wet). I jumped right back into the shower and co-washed with Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioner (did the trick!!). The reason why I gave this two curls is because I actually like the smell. Other than that, it just didn't do anyhting for my curls.

I just bought the smoothie at Walgreens yesterday for $10.00. That accessibility and cost is worth one star already. Now, the additional 4 stars are added because this product did exactly as it said and more for my 3B, heat damaged hair! I got shine, definition, softeness and love for my curls again. The damage I got from a salon flat ironing experience left my hair dry, frizzy and undefined. This magical product brought my curls back!

You only need a small amount, so for the price this product is a downright steal!

Does for me just what it says it'll do. Enhances and defines and I love it a lot! So far only used it over the milk, but looking forward to trying with other leave ins or by itself of as a dc/rinse out. Seems it could be versatile.

4/a. It just didn't work for me. It did not define my curls. I love the smell and my hair was soft the first day. The 2nd day my hair was a crunchy mess and i only used a quarter size before i twisted for a twist out. I also used this on my daughter's 4c hair and it left a film. I could have used too much on her hair.

i cant' really decide if i like this...it doesn't really define my curls. i think i have 3c hair.. the product smells great, but doesn't really work for me :( using it by itself doesn't do anything, but it might work with a good gel. it was only $9.99 at Target, so i'll keep trying it out, maybe it'll start working for me.

I can't believe it... This is the BEST curl definer/styler/leave in I have ever used!!!! I love the fact it is organic and smells absolutely fantastic!!! Not too mention it is very affordable only 9.99 at Target! This is my new HOLY GRAIL!!! (SN: I used this product on wet hair for easy distribution)

Let me start by saying that I'm a tough critic. I have combination 2b/3a/3b hair. Yeah, it's a little crazy. Anyway, I expect a lot from my products and this one did not disappoint. At first, I was put off by the smell. Why do products for black hair tend to smell like synthetic pina colada or fruit salad? Given that I didn't spend much on the jar ($9.99 @ Target), I decided to go ahead and try it anyway and I was pleasantly surprised. The fragrance dies down within minutes and while your hair smells slightly sweet/slightly shea-like, it's a light fragrance. I love that it's thick without being weighty and it moisturizes without being greasy...at all! That's a huge plus for me. It's easy to rinse out and my hair doesn't feel all "producty" after a few days of use. I also use it on my pre-schooler's incredibly curly hair. I'm particular about the products I use on her hair, but I really like this one and feel like it's clean enough and pure enough to use on her hair everyday. Run, don't walk and stock up because Target sucks at keeping it in stock. Just bought two and put them in reserve. Oh, and combining this with TIGI's Catwalk Curls Rock Curl Amplifier did the trick. Great hold, definition, shiny. With this combo, I can sometimes get 3rd day hair, 4th day if you count a messy bun.

I have very thick, spiral curled hair (3c-4a). My HG is KCCC, but I'm always looking for something better. This creme is pretty good! It has a thick consistency and is white. I always us KC Knot Today as a leave-in which keeps my hair moisturized, but this smoothie took it to the next level in softness. My curls looked and felt very soft and it left my hair defined and not looking like a cloud. It loses a star because to keep this affect I have to reapply it --the softness remained, the definition did not. Got it at Target for $10 so is def a keeper.

SheaMoisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie is a staple in my regimen. I like the thick consistency of the product. And even though the consistency is thick the product feels very light-weight. It leaves your hair feeling soft, shiny, and it smells good.

I personally don't LOVE it for myself but it works well on my girls. For me I've had the most success using it on dry hair and working it through as I'm untwisting. I just didn't like the way it felt going on with wet/damp hair. Plus side, my hair does seem a little softer and I can use this without using a gel. It is fine but just not the WOW I was expecting from the product. I do love the smell though and again will use it because I don't need to use a gel behind it and it's good for my girls.

This product came after many attempts at gaining a moisturizer. I love this product. What a relief! I love the smell, the application & the end result. The only issue is you have to rub it in completely for you to see the beautiful effects of it all.

I am a type 4 with coils and I love this product! Even though it doesn't define and hold my curls (like a gel would for type 4) it is great for my twist outs. It smells great, it's organic and it moisturizes well! It has benefits for any hair type!

3a/b/c curls The image is not of the exact product, however I love SheaMOisture coconut & hibiscux curl enhancing smoothie! I've layered it with other leave ins and used it as a styler instead of a moisturizer...it really works for me! I was very suprised that it had any hold because it has no crunch or anything...I find that it works best on Damp Hair...wet hair is great also but took alil while to dry and I kept waiting for it to poof, but if didnt..=) I wouldnt use it on dry hair cuz the scent lingers too long and was irritating...however if your hair is damp the still soaks up the smoothie and the scent goes away after a while...really one of the best products i've used that didnt need a gel/mousse/spray,etc. Looking forward to tring the rest of the product line=)

I love this product.. Gives great definition, shine, moisture, and bounce to my mixture of curls which is 3a/3b/3c. I use this product for a styler when doing my two strand twist outs and I must say that I am able to get 4 day hair with this stuff. At night I just rewet my hair untwist in the morning and the look is still there. Love this!!!

My hair is more of a coarse texture, so my hair soaked up this stuff like a sponge. It smelled good, but it didn't give my hair much moisture. My curls were not defined, but they definitely were soft! I had more of a poofy curl rather than a defined curl, not my kinda stuff. ...on to the next one!

This product was VERY heavy on my 3c curls...The only thing good about it, was he smell.. I'd rather use gel on my hair. I wanted to love this product. Maybe its a winter product.

This does little for my 4a curls. With this smoothie my hair is stringy, frizzy, and my curls are NOT defined. I went to the Shea Moisture website & they said this can also be used as a deep conditioner. I will use it as such until the jar is empty and will not purchase again. Yes my hair does feel is soft and is moisturized, but for my hair this product is a no-go. (BTW, the hair milk in this same line is awesome!)

I love this! Great feel, great smell, leaves my hair feeling soft, but defines the curls. Only thing holding me back from 5 curls is that it could use a LITTLE more hold.

This is definitely the wrong product image that is posted; it clearly says Raw Shea Butter Wash. In any event the Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie is fabulous!!!! This is my new staple product, knocking MJ-CM down a notch. I started using this a couple months ago and was beyond pleased with my results from day one. Product works great, smells great and the price point is perfect. I purchased at Target for $9.99. Love it!

I just recently purchased this product and it's great!! I only needed a little bit to two-strand twist my hair and it left it soft, sweet smelling, and defined. I will definitely repurchase!! The only reason I didn't give it 5 curls is because the scent lingers for a loooonnnnngggg time. By the way, wrong product picture and the price is $9.99 at Target.
