Customer Reviews:
Defines curls perfectly with no crunch or stiffness.
This curl tamer is fantastic; it gives my wavy hair amazing definition and eliminates all the frizz. My hair dries soft and touchable, never getting that crunchy gel feeling.
Not strong enough to last all day in high humidity.
I live in a very humid environment, and although it starts strong, my curls start to lose definition. By the afternoon, the frizz has crept back in, making the hold insufficient.
Gentle natural formula that smells clean.
I love that the ingredients are clean and non-irritating for my sensitive scalp. The light, clean scent is very mild and non-synthetic, which is perfect for my young child's hair.
Great on day one, needs refreshing on day two.
My curls look fantastic immediately after using this product—defined and shiny. However, the definition doesn't hold up overnight, and I need to wet and reapply slightly the next morning.
Leaves a sticky residue if too much is used.
I found that if I am not extremely careful with the amount, my hair feels tacky and sticky to the touch. This makes my curls look wet and dirty instead of naturally shiny.
Easy wash out and nice texture, but pricier.
It rinses clean effortlessly and the texture is so light in my hair. It is a bit expensive for a daily tamer, but the gentle ingredients are a definite plus.
