Marc AnthonyStrictly Curls Curl Defining Styling Lotion, 8.3 Ounce Tube with Silk Protein and Vitamin E for Curl Definition

I have naturally curly hair and always have the darndest time finding really good products. While the scent on this one could be a little better, this is by far one of the best products I’ve ever used. I’ve been only using Garnier Fructis leave in conditioner for 10 years and I’ve officially switched. You only need to apply a very small amount of this product to damp hair and it’ll sustain all day. It’s not sticky or heavy and leaves no white or flaky residue. Small disclaimer - at first the hair may seem crunchy or hard after applying but once it soaks in, it leaves the hair soft and moisturized with defined curls and stays frizz free for hoursssss.Yesterday I applied some and was out in the heat for hours. This morning my hair is still intact, defined and frizz free, without wetting it or applying any more product.

I don’t have a full head of curls, just some tighter ones in the back and a few waves around the sides. This cream really helped bring them out in a way that looked natural and controlled. Most curl products I’ve tried either left my hair crunchy or made it look flat and greasy. This one did neither.It feels light when you apply it and doesn’t leave any buildup. I used a small amount on damp hair and let it air dry. The curls in the back looked more defined and had less frizz, and the rest of my hair looked a little more put together than usual.The scent is clean and subtle, and it doesn’t overwhelm your hair or linger too long. For someone with just a few curls and mostly wavy or straight texture, this has been a great product to add some shape without making things feel stiff.

Leaves nice soft bouncy curls and it smells great too. I uses it with his curl lotion and 7 in one mousse and leaves my hair nice and bouncy. Not heavy and oily like some products or stiff either come out perfect.

Good for looser curls. Not to crunchy but my fair doesn't get frizzy which I like. the curl definition isn't as great as I would like but I would probably need something with more hold for that.

I really like this cream for curly hair. I had searched and spent a lot of money on other products and none of them worked for me, but this cream is really good. I've actually bought it more than once. It lasts all day, and my hair is super beautiful.

Works well for holding volume in a curl however, hair loses lustre when cast is broken leaving a dusty, dull looking hair style. It is cheap enough for an everyday curl cream though.

I'm writing this review strictly in regards to the scent. I have wasted a fair amount of money, buying products based on reviews, that I received and discovered I couldn't use because the smell was too strong. I have to be careful to not buy anything heavily scented because of scent-sensitive people (including ME) in my life. This is very subtle and pleasant. It doesn't smell like lemon to me. It could smell like a very light scented flower. But, the first thing I thought of when I opened it and smelled the contents was the scent that came out of a strawberry shortcake doll that "blew kisses". This was back in the 1980s, but if you are old enough to remember those dolls, this was reminiscent of that scent! Otherwise, this curl cream seems very similar to my normal leave-in conditioner, as far as softness of the curls. I have fine, frizzy hair, so my curls need to be scrunched when wet and allowed to dry naturally for them to look good. This cream appears to work slightly better than the leave-in, so I will use this when I go out and the leave-in when I'm strictly at home, because this product isn't quite as healthful and natural, ingredient-wise as my leave-in conditioner is.

Love love this product! I use it everyday!! Helps hold my curls in place and gives them more of a bounce. It doesn’t feel greasy and smells amazing! I ofter Where my hair down or in a pony tail and it never looses its curls. I feel like my hair is more hydrated after using it. Definitely a must have!
