Customer Reviews:

Long-Lasting Curl Hold

I absolutely love how this cream keeps my curls intact for days. It effectively controls frizz, leaving my hair looking vibrant and full of life.

Overwhelming Scent

The scent of this cream is just too strong for my liking. It doesn't leave my hair smelling pleasant, which is quite disappointing.

Shiny, Moisturized Curls

This cream is amazing for enhancing my curls, giving them a moisturized and shiny appearance. It's smooth and not at all oily, which makes it perfect for my hair type.

Easy Application but Reapplication Needed

The texture is pleasantly creamy and easy to apply. However, I find that the hold lasts only a few hours, and I need to reapply it for optimal results.

Greasy Finish on Dry Hair

On my dry hair, this cream leaves a greasy finish that I can't get past. It might work for others, but it just doesn't suit my hair type.

Effortless Rinse with Some Overuse Issues

While it rinses out effortlessly and leaves no residue, applying too much can make my hair heavy and greasy. Balance is key with this cream.

Product Summary:

Amika Supernova Moisture and Shine Cream provides a lasting hold for curls, effectively managing frizz, although recent formula changes may reduce curl hold for some users. While the product generally enhances curls, giving them a shiny, moisturized appearance, some with dry hair types may find it leaves a slightly greasy look.

The scent of this cream is divisive; while many find it pleasantly fragrant, others feel it’s overwhelming and doesn’t leave a fresh after-scent. The cream’s smooth, creamy texture makes application easy and enjoyable, delivering a rich feel without an oily residue.

This product works well on both fine and straight hair, adding shine and smoothness, and on thick, curly hair, where it reduces frizz and enhances texture. However, the hold may not last all day for everyone, potentially requiring reapplication within a few hours.

Supernova Moisture and Shine Cream washes out easily, leaving no residue behind and making it simple to incorporate into a regular hair care routine. Excessive application, however, can make hair feel heavy and greasy, reducing the shine and moisture benefits, so a small amount is ideal for the best results.
