One of my favorite curl products
I've been using this product for over a year and it's one of the two Curl products I use to keep my curls moisturized, free from frizz, and defined. I stumbled across this when Ulta was having one of their amazing sales on TIGI products and was excited to test it out. This amplifier is about $10 but you can always get it on sale with some coupon at Ulta. You get a little over five ounces which is ...read morequite a bit as this product lasts for a while; if you use too much for your amount of hair I promise your hair will get so greasy (I already made the mistake.) Just be careful and play with it so you can see what works for you. Anyways, the packaging is pretty; a green and black that are sleek and easy to hold. The pump on this is great too; just easy to push, and about a dime amount comes out with a full squeeze. This is a pretty thick formula; I thought it was going to be really hard to work this into my hair but the polymers this product has in it grab onto my hair and makes my hair smell so wonderful. I specifically wait til after I've shampooed my hair, dry it down a bit with a towel(after I've brushed it) and than apply some of the cream into my hands and slide it from mid shaft to ends of my hair. I try to avoid my root area as I put some there one day and my scalp got so greasy but I've learned that I don't even need to put any there to make my hair be defined. So as I said, all I do is run the product through my hair (not really scrunching.) I don't need to scrunch this product, which I love, because it does the work for you. I wrap my hair in a soft bun, clip it, and let it dry for about an hour. After I let my hair down, it's soft, curled, and there is zero frizz. I can leave it like that or spray with a hairspray if I'm going to be outside and it won't frizz at all. My hair smells amazing too; has a tropical, fruity smell to it. I love everything about this product, besides the Curl Smoothie by Shea Moisture, this is my only other Curl product I trust.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Coaxed perfect curls from my wavy hair
At first I thought the curls were a little too perfect. They formed these flawless little spirals all over my head and even though I was pleased with how shiny, full of body, and well-defined they were, I felt a bit too Shirley Temple. So I brushed them out and then rubbed a bit of pomade through the whole mass and was thrilled to see that the shape of the curls returned, only they looked much mor...read moree natural, making this product the hands-down best curl product I have ever used. Other products have left my hair shapeless, dry, frizzy, or limp, but this stuff delivered on the promises printed on the bottle.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 11 of 14 people said helpful

Won't use anything else
As the title says, this is my holy grail curly hair product that I keep repurchasing. At first, its sticky texture and odd smell is a little off-putting, but you learn to love the smell after you see how wonderfully it defines curls. The stickiness, in my opinion, is the key. It defines curls without the crunch and without weighing them down. My curls are bouncy and voluminous after I use it and t...read morehey've never looked better. I will never purchase another hair gel as long as they continue to make this product.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
