My Review: 
  • Very creamy and pleasant coconut smell that kind of lingers for a day or so.
  • I was out of my staple curl cream and decided to try this as suggestion of the Define and Shine Custard for added moisture. Can you say love love LOVE?!
  • Instant Curl Poppage! I mean instant. The curls were like "Ma'am, you called?"
  • Definitely left my hair feeling very softed and hydrated during application and after my hair completely dried.
I would definitely recommend this product to a friend and will continue to use it.

My Review:
  • Has a really 'snotty' yet thick consistency. It is similar to other comparable products but thicker in my opinion.
  • Pleasant coconut smell.
  • I did notice some white residue the next day, but it was only in certain areas which leads me to believe I was heavy handed or did not properly distribute. It seems less is more with this product.
  • I was shocked at how great the hold was and yet my hair was still soft. No crunch at all.
  • Great definition--My curls were poppin'! 
  • The only thing I didn't like was that my hair seemed to have shrunk much more than usual--so the elongation claim didn't pan out for me.
I think this product works well, but I probably need to try it again to figure out how to eliminate that bit of white residue. This residue issue is a pain point for me because, well who wants to walk around with flakage (yea, I made that up one time for the neologisms) in their hair? So for that reason I'd hesitate or recommend this product with caution.
