Reviews
super thick
"need to use it again to really get an idea for it but great thick consistency"
Locks in moisture
"Very moisturing and smells amazing. Really locked in the hydration from my hair wash. Used on my 4c hair. Not the best for definition though, I had to add in a gel afterwards."
Don't love it
"I like the product, but I can't say I love it. I was still disappointed. I had this other product I purchased a while ago, and I really liked it, but I don't love it."
Love this for moisture, defining
"Love this for moisture, defining curls and how my hair feels after- feels nourished!"
Super moisturising
"Really like this as someone who bleaches their hair I find this product makes my hair feel automatically more moisturised. I use this in place of a curl crème, brush through my hair with a curl brush and then follow up with the frizz rescue gel or mouse that has some hold to it."
Happy (but annoyed) Customer
"Great product but it’s WAAAAYYY to tick to sell in a bottle with a small squeeze cap for 32 oz. Use the same pump cap as the 32 oz shampoo and conditioner. I have to unscrew the cap and shake like crazy just to get to the get some product out. Like a 1990s Heinz commercial."
Love it
"I use this as my styling product on days when I don’t need a ton of hold. It makes my curls soft and loosely defined. My husband also loves the smell of my hair when I use Curlsmith products! I’ve tried less expensive alternatives and keep coming back to this brand because it’s worth the extra money"
Thrilled with Leave-In Condition
"I love this product. Defines curls, lessens frizz and doesn't weigh hair down. Definitely would recommend."
Natural 4CC kinky kinky curly coily hair
"As a women of color with natural short kinky kinky curly coily hair (4CC) … after purchasing sooooo many products over the years claiming to moisturize and curl etc my natural … curlsmith has hit the mark “ for me for my hair type” it defines and moisturizes without a greasy build up and makes my hair soft . I use this daily with the Curl Conditioning Oil in Crème … the best for me yet. The price is worth it for me to get the results I need . Thank you Curlsmith 👍🏾👍🏾"
